A certified nutritionist can help to understand the specific nutrients required to get maximum in life.
2.     Goal: Anyone’s nutrition management depends on the goal they want to achieve, whether it is to improve any medical condition, stamina, strength or just to stay healthy. It is important to put down the long-term goal including a small short-term goal.

What to focus on during muscle gain?

 

Here are 5 things you should focus on during the muscle gain phase:

1.       Give priority to building muscle

You can’t think about building muscles while you also want to run a marathon, because you will end up burning more than gaining here, you indeed can mix cardio and weights but

the extremes, the training physiology and biochemistry are contradictory and you will not maximize your results unless you concentrate on one thing.

2.       Eat Protein

Eat sufficient protein. Even if you train hard, the maximum amount of protein you need for muscle building is just less than 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day. A little more or less will not make much difference.

3.       Start calorie surplus

When you know you want to gain more muscle, you eventually have to eat more than you are burning, otherwise you will end up not gaining any muscle and rather burning it all.

4.       Don't disown your carbs

Eat sufficient carbohydrate. If you exercise hard and long with cardio, circuits or bodybuilding programs, you need sufficient carbohydrate to fuel your efforts and to maintain body stores of glucose.

What exactly does a personal trainer do?

 

Personal trainers help others to achieve their fitness goals. It's an ideal career for anyone who is passionate about staying healthy and fit and also someone who has a goal in helping others reaching their fit journey.

A personal trainer creates one-on-one fitness programmes for their clients, motivating and guiding them to achieve their goals.

Clients may wish to lose weight or gain muscle, and a personal trainer teaches and help them to exercise properly using workouts and specific plans. They'll instruct and advise clients, using a range of fitness machines, classes or weights.

Similar roles include fitness instructor and gym instructor, but a personal trainer holds more fitness qualifications, meaning they're able to provide clients with tailored health and exercise advice. It's not uncommon for those new to the industry to train as a fitness or gym instructor first before qualifying as a personal trainer.

They'll work in a gym or a similar setting but can take sessions outdoors or to other venues.

Responsibilities

A typical day includes:

conducting fitness assessments to establish client fitness and skill level

holding one-on-one or group sessions with clients

providing advice to clients on health, nutrition and lifestyle changes

educating and advising clients to maintain or reach their fitness and health goals

keeping up to date with the latest personal training techniques and best practise

helping clients with their workouts
