Course overview

The danger for most of us is not that we might exercise too hard, but that we do no exercise at all.  More than 60 per cent of us are overweight, 25 per cent are obese and physical activity may be further compromised by disease or infirmity. In this case exercise takes on an even greater importance. Clinical personal fitness trainers are the consultants of the fitness world; they deal with special problems related to lifestyle, preventative healthcare and exercise.  This course is designed for those fitness trainers who not only want to help the able-bodied but also those with disabilities such as obesity, arthritis, diabetes and cardiovascular disease in order to enable them to achieve maximum fitness and wellbeing.
