Register Now for 2005 Training Workshops

Looking for a physical activity or nutrition program that really works to help people change their behaviors? Train as an Active Living Partners provider this fall or early winter, and be prepared to offer innovative programs proven to help people improve their health and quality of life.

Active Living Every Day takes a nontraditional approach to increasing physical activity, focusing on behavior change and encouraging activities people can do throughout the day that produce real health benefits. Using a similar behavior change model, but applying it to eating habits, Healthy Eating Every Day addresses the underlying causes of poor eating patterns. Both programs are evidence based, tested by researchers at the renowned Cooper Institute in Dallas.

Autumn and the beginning of the year are perfect times to offer new health promotion programs: Fewer vacations translates to less absenteeism in classes, parents and grandparents have more free time when kids return to school, and resolution setters look for programs that get results. Read on to find our 2005 training schedule and learn more about becoming a provider.

Training Schedule

Beginning this fall, you can train for both our Active Living Every Day and Healthy Eating Every Day programs in convenient, back-to-back workshops. Current providers and those who license by August 1 receive a 50% discount on one training program. With these programs, you’ll be able to offer solutions to two serious conditions that affect an alarming number of people: physical inactivity and poor nutrition. Join us for one of these upcoming workshops:

  • August 18, 2005: Can-Fit-Pro conference, Toronto, Canada (ALED only)
  • September 20-21, 2005: The Cooper Institute, Dallas, TX (Both ALED and HEED offered)
  • October 11-12, 2005: Human Kinetics, Champaign, IL (Both ALED and HEED offered)
  • December 3, 2005: Orlando, FL (Both ALED and HEED offered)
