Course Description

Personal trainers and fitness professionals will learn details of fat metabolism and discover tools and strategies to develop effective weight management programs in this online course geared to tipping the scales. The rate of obesity in the United States increased from 15% in 1980 to 30% in 2005. Today, nearly 2/3 of the U.S. population is considered overweight or obese.

Learn associated drivers of this epidemic and how, as a personal trainer or fitness professional, you can design weight management programs to help combat the problem and facilitate lifestyle change for your clients.
