The many life cycles of a woman are powerful and unique—and when your training techniques reflect that, they’ll get the most optimal results. The Strategies for Training Female Clients course bundle will give you a holistic approach to improving your female clients’ fitness regimen and overall health by understanding their current stage in life, along with their health and fitness goals.

Reviews

I learned a lot about the changes that occur to females,from puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, breastfeeding,early menopause and menopause.A lot hormonal changes occur and these affects female clients in many ways and differs from individual to individual (Bio individuality)lt als affects their training pattern, energy levels and also recovery.Nutrition should be also be taken into consideration.During menstruation energy levels go down and some have headaches,stomach cramps.As a male Personal Trainer I found it very interesting to know what happens to my female clients and I can also share them the knowledge.
