About Me
|
| |
| Welcome to The Fitness Solution! My name is Liz
Nelson and I am committed to achieving excellence in the field of
fitness training, athletic preparation and weight loss/physique transformation
solutions. I have helped many athletes and individuals reach their
goals through sound science based programs and a caring individual
approach.
My fitness career began in 1988 when I started teaching aerobics
(now 'group fitness') whilst studying at University of Queensland,
St Lucia, Australia. I graduated with a B.Pharm in 1989 and still
bitten by the fitness bug, studied Human Movement Science at the
University, graduating in 1995 with a BSc (Human Movement Studies
- Exercise Management) degree.

Until my children were born I spent several years coaching people from many
walks of life in the art of general fitness, event preparation and fat loss.
However, when my children were born, I started to "live" many
of the challenges my previous clients faced - injury, excessive pregnancy
weight gain and lack of time and facilities to make changes. These challenges,
combined with my professional background, have helped me to formulate innovative,
workable fitness programs and the experience of being extremely overweight
post partum has given me an intimate perspective of the challenges/fears/emotions
faced by individuals with weight/body image issues.
 |
In developing solutions to these challenges, my journey has taken
me to competing at National level in the discipline of Figure Competition,
proof positive that powerful change is within anyone's reach, with
the right tools and know-how.
I continue to teach Group Fitness classes for Fitness First Clubs
in Brisbane - I teach the Les Mills programs, RPM and Bodystep.
|
My areas of expertise include:
| .................. |
Preparation for endurance events - running, cycling,
triathlon
Weight loss/physique transformation,including coaching/nutrition
Advice and graded exercise program
Preparation for Figure/Physique competition
Sacroliac dysfunction/core stability
Exercise through pregnancy/post partum recovery
Insulin resistance/pre diabetes, PCOS/fertility
Programming for those with cardiovascular risk factors. |
Being a Health Professional, I am very happy to liase with other practitioners
you may be involved with, eg GP, physio, dietitian etc. |
