Wow, great quality video

The information I knew but it cut to the chase and spelt out a simple effective way to train with no fluff. Great Course

Explained the cardio side of training to me quite well. A bit more scientific than practical application, but the practical application aspects are explained as well.
By David Tamkin on 4/18/2020
All the information that was provided for the science of training was fantastic. But then when it got to the dieting part I was taken back by how you discredited and blew over food GI index, and normal eating schedules that would encourage the efficient utilization of energy

It is a good course if you want to start with the basics of fitness and how it works. I expected to be more deep with nutrition and supplementation. It is overall a really helpful one and i would suggest to go and opt for this course. Thanks

Instructor walks you through all necessary concepts to BYOPT. This is a #must-do course for everybody as it provides a sound and practical knowledge on how to approach aerobic and anerobic training. Once you start you can't stop watching every chapter. No brainer!

I am a martial arts instructor for more than 20 years, but my fitness is not good. the encouragement from this lesson so far makes me excited.
By Steven Olson on 12/26/2017
I’ve been consistently exercising my whole life (60 years old now). I can see now I should have been “training” instead. I didn’t know how much I didn’t know.

Useless. Just reading slides. very slow and boring
