I think the class was pretty encouraging. Sometimes I felt tired after my workout rutine but my trainer said our body is designed to move so I realized I needed to keep going, do some physical activity to stay active. It was a good start! Thank you.

Protein and Fats for Exercise

Micronutrients and Supplements
Tuesday, March 21, 2017, 7:00 PM
In lesson 5, we get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding vitamins and minerals. As micronutrients are often equated with energy, strength and optimal performance, this lesson will examine the prevalence and effects of vitamins and mineral deficiencies in athletes. You will learn the truth about sports supplements. We will discuss the effects of supplements on exercise performance and review the rationale for their proposed beneficial effects.

Thursday, March 23, 2017, 7:00 PM
It is incredibly important to be aware of how the timing of our meals, i.e. before, during, and after an event, affects exercise. As eating out has a huge impact on our recovery after we work out, you will learn what and how to eat correctly post-exercise and boost your immune system.
- LESSON 7 -
How to Apply your Knowledge
Thursday, March 23, 2017, 7:00 PM
Want to take more control of your calorie intake? You will learn about RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) and how to estimate how many calories you should be eating for your weight, age, gender and activity levels. This will enable you to take control of your calorie intake whether you want to lose, maintain or gain weight.
