FABS Training Programme
£480.00 – £495.00
£480.00 – £495.00
Product Description
The FABS Training Programme has been developed by Move it or Lose it, collaborating partners with the Centre for Healthy Ageing Research at University of Birmingham. With our blended approach of online learning and practical training, we’ve made it as easy as possible to help you become a specialist exercise instructor for the over 60s.
FABS will enable you to:
- Understand the major changes associated with ageing and inactivity
- Understand how to support and motivate the older adult to adhere to physical activity
- Understand guidelines and training principles in relation to the older adult
- Be able to plan, deliver and evaluate exercise sessions for older adults including progressive training
Once you purchase the FABS Training Programme you will receive an email with your personal log in details to access the interactive online blended learning. Here you will be guided through each unit and assessed for competence as you go. You will also be shown, through video tutorial, each of the exercises in preparation for your practical assessment. This equates to 32 hours of guided learning. You will also be able to download the complete theory and practical training manuals for future reference.
This allows you to learn and practice in the convenience of your own home so when you attend the two day practical training you will be fully prepared. Here you will learn how to link the exercises and put them to music to create fun-filled routines. You will be continually assessed informally and formally to show competence in safe and accurate delivery, observation and adaptation, goal setting and motivational techniques.

The online learning was high quality and easy to use. I really enjoyed both practical days which were well delivered. Thank you Move it or Lose it!

The material was easy to digest and not overwhelming. There were some good refreshers from my previous fitness training and a wealth of new material. The two day workshop should be terrific based on this material ! This programme is vital with more active seniors looking for ways to keep healthy and regain health and fitness ! I look forward to being able to teach this to seniors in Scotland.

4 stars and a half. This has been a very inspiring source of information, easy to navigate, quizzes are sometimes challenging (as they should be really), but also offer a good conclusion to each unit, videos add extra value and clarity to the description of exercises.

I've been teaching chair based exercise for years and wanted to challenge my class members a little more. Now I've done FABS I can do just that! The exercises have given me many more options for my classes and I found the instructors informative and supportive. eLearning was new to me but I got through it and I feel great about it! I say go and go FABS you won't regret it!

This course is just what I was looking for to progress my classes from seated to standing! It's really widened my scope of practise and opened new doors for me as an instructor. But most importantly, it's give me the confidence to work with a much wider client base. Thanks Move it or Lose it!
