Be Your Own Personal Trainer ("BYOPT") - For Women (Udemy.com)

So far have gone through Dr. Applebaum's qualifications and the requirements to be a personal trainer. I found both to be enlightening. The video needs to be cleaned up, there are skips which detract from the presentation

I enjoyed it. The course was very easy to follow.

Although this was a basic course, I learnt far more than I expected. The explanations were very clear. I liked the recap of the previous lesson at the beginning of every new section, it reinforced things. As someone who has trained in the gym for 10 years, I did not expect to find so much of this information new, engaging and well...informative. I'd recommend this for anyone wanting to expand their own knowledge. Just a note: this course and the one for men are both the same, the only difference in the BYOPT for women are the last two lectures. I like how Mike myth-busts throughout the course and how he relies on science and real evidence to support what he says.

It added a lot of clarity to a confusing field and gives you the tools to focus on the essential things and improve your fitness without getting stuck with the unnecessary details.

A good introduction. I just want to get straight on to how to work out properly. Im not really interested in how PTs get qualified but it's good so far.

I want to be my own trained and feel that If I have to pay someone to help me lose weight so that I can feel good about myself, something is wrong with me. So, I want to to know the ins and outs. So far it’s just what I was thinking

Still didnt know how to train my self all information that is not action oriented

Enjoying the well explained content, making it easy to understand. It's like turning on a light bulb and going "A-ha!"

A really good course on the basics of general fitness. Knowing what to do at the gym can seem overwhelming, but after this course I feel clear on what I need to do and how to progress from there. This course simplifies all the knowledge of fitness into 3 components (aerobic, anaerobic and nutrition) and then gives you clear and simple goals to focus on. I would recommend it!

I recently purchased a gym membership to improve my overall fitness. During my first week after subscribing I was overwhelmed and had a feeling of defeat. I had no CLUE what I was doing. I didn't know where to focus my attention- cardio, machines or free weights, it was all intimidating. I felt pressure to upgrade my membership to include a physical trainer (not because the gym was pushy, but because I wanted to ensure I was getting my monies worth). Well I never did and after this course I'm glad I didn't. I now feel like I have the education and ability to head back into the gym and create my own goal oriented training sessions. This lecture provided excellent information that is practical and scientific. Disclaimer- I am a health care professional so I have had my fair share of biology and A&P courses so everything was very easy for me to understand. It may be somewhat technical for someone not as familiar with the sciences but the instructor does a good job of explaining concepts. My only critique was the instructor mentioned the "3 principles to fitness" very early on in the course but did not actually list the 3 principles until episode 20. I was listening very intently and kept thinking I missed it so that was a little frustrating to rewind looking for information that was not there. I am very pleased with the course and excited to implement what I have learned.
