Description

If you’ve ever tried swapping crisps for carrot sticks and wondered why your energy still crashes by 3 p.m., you’re not alone. Understanding fitness and nutrition isn’t about cutting carbs or doing endless sit-ups – it’s about knowing what works for your body and how to keep it fuelled for daily life. This course offers a balanced approach, designed to help you grasp the core principles of healthy eating and movement without overcomplicating it with fads or fluff. Whether you’re someone who thinks “macros” is a sci-fi villain or you're just tired of feeling sluggish, this guide will help you get the basics right.

Learn how food choices affect your energy, how exercise supports long-term health, and how to make sense of the endless advice online. You’ll explore smart eating habits, everyday fitness essentials, and how to build routines that actually fit into normal life (yes, even the “can’t be bothered” days). With easy-to-follow modules and a tone that skips the lecture vibes, this course keeps things clear, honest, and refreshingly useful. It's not about chasing perfection — it’s about making better choices without needing a PhD in kale.
