Requirements

  • This is an in-depth study of the body and how it functions within the realm of exercise. There is A LOT of information in this course, but it is all beneficial to someone who wants to learn and apply it.
  • You should have a general understanding of the human body (i.e. completed general high school biology coursework).

Description

This course is one of three installments. This study focuses on the anatomy and physiology of the body in relation to exercise and fitness. It's time to start understanding WHY we should eat certain foods and stay away from others. Now, we can answer the question "what makes some people faster than others". Get the low down on what metabolism really is. And understand the make-up of the human body, so you can truly understand why you are working out.

If you want chiseled abs...start understanding your body and how it functions in exercise. If you want to lose 30 pounds by summer, learn how food interacts as a key player in your body's physical make-up.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to learn the science behind exercise and fitness. Someone looking for a quick and simple path to achieving and understanding wellness.
  • If you are looking for a crash course for anatomy and physiology, or other exercise related courses, this would be right up your alley.
  • This does NOT offer credit from an accredited institution.
