GUEST Kertu Hein: Conscious Choices, Visible Results

Kertu: "I have always gone to the gym with passion, but it is a completely different feeling when you can genuinely understand which muscle is moving during an exercise, where it attaches, or what the opposing muscle is doing at the same time. In January 2021, I obtained a Level 4 personal trainer qualification, and since then my lifestyle and understanding of health and exercise have changed considerably! I started creating training programmes for myself and adapting them according to my goals and needs. By now, I have several gym clients, and for two years I have been instructing Pilates Plus workouts for a small group. I love this work with all my heart! However, I consider knowledge about nutrition to be the greatest value. The ability to plan meals, make conscious choices and understand how much and what our bodies actually need is invaluable. It is often said that a beautiful figure is created primarily at the dining table—approximately 70% of the result comes from nutrition and 30% from exercise. What macronutrients are necessary? In what proportions should they be consumed? How can you achieve weight-loss goals or maintain an ideal body weight? Let us explore together what is in your shopping basket and how to bring simple nutritional solutions into real life! I have many client success stories, but also some failures. In the end, everything starts with ourselves—with our choices, habits and readiness for change. I have even come up with my dream job: people come to the grocery store, tell me their budget, and I help them create the most balanced and healthy diet possible with that money. I do not know whether anyone would be willing to pay me for it, but when I sometimes look at people's shopping baskets, I feel that I could be of great help. I look forward to seeing you on the magical date of 11.11 at 18:00, and together we will find solutions for a simpler menu and a wonderful figure! 😊"
