Get Fit, Lose That Fat!
By Joyce Stewart

Our health is becoming more important day by day and one of the
best ways to keep healthy is to stay in trim.here we look at a
way of doing that and earning a living at the same time

When my children flew the nest, I felt a little bored and
wanted to do something different with my life. I had worked as a
physical education teacher and really enjoyed it. It kept me
slim, fit with masses of energy.

Going back to my previous job appealed, however, it would take
up too much of my time, not leaving me with any time for myself.
Working from home sounded good, so I had a look on the internet.
This would allow me to keep the house spick and span, but what
type of job? There were a number of jobs available, writing
articles, addressing envelopes and tele-sales, but none were
suitable to me.

On browsing the internet I clicked on an advert on how to
become a personal trainer. I must admit I thought I was past
that, especially having put on so much weight after having my
family. Unsuccessful diets came and went; I realised I had
become a couch potato with no energy. I knew things would have
to change in the future.

I decided to become a personal trainer and began going to my
local gym. Also played tennis again, a sport I had always loved.
The pounds soon began to disappear and I felt really good once
more. I did read that it didn’t really matter what size you are,
anyone can become a personal trainer. You just have to be a good
role model for your clients.

I made enquiries of how to become a personal trainer, reading a
lot of information on the internet. The skills required were
patience, persistency, being well-organised and a good motivator
for others as well as being a good listener - thankfully I
ticked all the boxes.

There was a workshop course available nearby to take an
examination, leading to the necessary training certificate. I
quickly enrolled and really enjoyed the lessons. I passed and
achieved the qualification. Not a bad accomplishment for someone
of my age. The next step was to find premises to put my new
skills into practice.

Setting up my own business was what I wanted to do. I did a lot
of research online about registering my company, choosing a
business name, getting insurance and finding suitable premises.
I was extremely lucky and soon found the perfect place. The next
step was to market myself, so I set about getting flyers,
newsletters and business cards printed.

My friends helped me out at first, by coming to my classes.
They loved exercising under my instructions so much, most are
still with me. Soon I had quite a few clients who preferred to
have one-to-one personal training sessions. It is good to
encourage others and see the results they achieve after
exercising; I can only recommend others to do the same as I did.
Don’t give up, just do it, you will feel the benefits!
