YMCA Level 1 Award in Fitness and Physical Activity.
YMCA Level 1 Award in Body Image and the Relationship to Wellbeing
YMCA Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Pilates
Pilates
Our Pilates manual includes all the essential knowledge needed to prepare for and teach inspiring and effective mat Pilates sessions that will keep lovers of Pilates coming back for more. From helpful information on key principles when teaching both individuals and groups, to a useful appendix with all the forms learners will need, including forms for postural assessment and screening, our new manual covers it all.
Fitness and Physical Activity
Aimed at learners thinking about a career in, or that have interest in Fitness and Physical Activity, this new manual includes chapters on exercise and fitness knowledge, health and fitness industry information, how to develop personal fitness, how to participate in physical activity, assisting in the delivery of an exercise session and information on healthy eating.
Body Image
Our body image manual will help the learner understand and appreciate the concept of body image and explore some of the positive lifestyle choices they can make to help them lead a healthy and active lifestyle. This will also help learners to understand ways of building their confidence and self- esteem, and the benefits and components of a balanced diet
Designed for learning
All three manuals include our unique YMCA Awards icons and features to aid learning including engaging activities to help retain knowledge and detailed knowledge tests for revision, and are perfectly pitched for the appropriate level of learner.
