Stop Wasting Your Time

When most people start an exercise program they walk into a gym look around and just sort of copy some of the exercises other people are doing and through trial and error they figure out what works for them. They don't take a minute to consider what their goals are, if they are exercising the muscle groups that are important to them, if they are doing the exercises properly or if they've structured the exercise program in the most efficient way. In this course we address all of these issues so you can get the most out of your exercise program, you can see the results you're looking for and spend as little time exercising as possible.

Content and Overview

This course is for beginner exercisers, people that are consistently exercising, but not seeing the results they expected for the amount of work they put in and anyone who is thinking about becoming a personal trainer or enrolled in a personal training course to get the fundamentals. You'll learn the basic concepts of strength training, cardiovascular training and mobility training. You will understand which type is best suited for you and how much of each type you should do. This course is predominantly video lecture based with a variety of external resources as well as downloadable worksheets that are meant to be thought provoking so you can decide what is really important in your life, why you should exercise and how to implement a successful fitness routine that works for you.

This program was the best match for me. It taught me exactly what was needed and the things that are missing usually in the gyms. The trainer and his knowledge was above my expectations. The concepts taught was really the backbone of program. One of the worth life learning course.

This course provides an excellent overview of fitness and can be useful for both beginners and experienced exercisers. The instructor does a great job of breaking things down and providing examples of exercises and workouts.

Great course for beginners to exercise or a refresher for already active people who want to improve their mobility, gain more insight on mobility and just a well rounded program for everyone. There is always room for improvement and to learn something new ! Great job Fitness for Freedom!

By Martha Flores on 8/28/2020

I'm more on a strength / resistance training and I lift heavier weights but I rarely do stretches at the end of my workout due to lack of time. This training helped me and gave me better perspective on why mobility exercises are important which is neglected most of the time by those doing strength or resistance training. Thumbs up and thank you.

Easy to follow information and the instructions and demonstrations were valuable to getting the most out of the information. Easy to follow along and understand, which made each lesson and segment an enjoyable learning experience. Many take away points to assist in my development. Thank-you

I would hire you to be my personal trainer! I learned so much from this course. The proper form and the progressions to go with them. Which muscles they are working. I love my trainer, this course made me understand what he's doing and why better. I don't know if you can get any better! totally impressed! Thank you for doing this course!

Pretty good demonstrations when communicating with clients but very basic from the perspective of a personal trainer. Still provides a good amount of information to reinforce fitness knowledge.

By Michele Canady Morrill on 5/31/2016

Very informative course-instructor was knowledgeable and engaging, and seems to have a passion for helping people with their fitness and minimizing their chance of injury. I took this course as a refresher since I'm pursuing a healthier, more active lifestyle after years of being sedentary. Great overview of subject and some new information as well.
