• Details about their training plan and what you need to consider when devising a programme for the young person.
Young people are likely to become bored more quickly than an adult would, so need a different and more exciting programme. Therefore, I need to create something that is not just a typical gym routine, but is fun. When training young people, it is important to create a programme that creates enthusiasm and enjoyment on their part. What would this kind of programme look like?
Being friendly and bubbly and getting to know each individual client, is the secret to setting the right atmosphere with them. It will help the young person to feel relaxed and also - enthusiastic about starting their training. I need to try and make it clear that I’m not another teacher telling them what to do; but am ‘partnering’ with them to help them to reach their fitness goals.

Mikey’s nutrition-related goal was to maintain his weight at 165 being 5’8”. Based upon the Harris-Benedict Equation (66 + (6.3 x 165) + (12.9 x 68) – (6.8 x 20), Mikey’s over all calories that are needed to maintain his weight are 3,185 per day. My partners’ BMI was equal to 25 which was considered an elevated level, but should be fine for his health. His classification was considered overweight, but with his age and activity level this is not excessive. With a weight loss of three pounds he would reach the optimal weight range. As far as energy intake needs, I suggested the percentage of carbohydrates should be 55% calories, 20% calories from fat and 25% protein. Mikey also needs to consume approximately 38 g of fiber per day.
The formula is the person’s weight in pounds times eleven, which is the person’s caloric baseline. Then the person needs to add four hundred to that number and this shows the maintenance calories. To lose weight, the person then subtracts six hundred from the maintenance calories in order to find the person’s target caloric intake. Based on the answer from the formula, the person then refers to the calorie chart and selects which grouping they belong to. For example, if a person was to calculate 1,275 calories based on the formula, the person then would look at the calorie chart under the 1,200-1,499 calorie section to see how many of each container they are slotted to have a day. For this range, a person should have three green containers, two purple containers, four red container, two yellow containers, one blue container, one orange container, and two tablespoons of nut butter or
