Personal Trainer New To Blogging

Ok, being new to this whole blogging game I’ve been having difficulty deciding what to write about. I was torn between whether to provide factual information and advice, preach like a holy one or just make humorous comments and make fun of strange ineffective fitness and diet fads I spot as I go about my daily life (like that drop a dress size crap that was on the other week – there is nothing like sensible eating?). After reading lots of people’s blogs from experts to run of the mill trainers that you know don’t really have a clue, I’ve made up my mind!

Several blogs stood out to me and these were the blogs that followed people’s personal experiences. Blogs from men and women who are working as trainers but also following their own advice and reaping the rewards. I find it inspirational when I hear or read about someone in great shape and achieving success and it interests me to know what people have to go through to achieve it.

So my blog is going to follow my quest for health and fitness. I’m going to detail what I train for and how I eat and train to achieve it. I’ll list some of the problems I encounter along the way and what I do to overcome them. Hopefully there won’t be too many problems though! Please bear in mind that everybody is different so although some of the things I do will apply and be good for you, others may not. This is even more true when I talk about food, the foods that I eat are very specific to me and for other people could cause serious health problems. It is very important to seek the help of a professional when designing a training and diet plan.

If you have seen my website, you know that I’m in pretty good shape…. Hey its’ true…. Despite the fact I have abs my health hasn’t been the best and to be honest I think being healthy is far more important than looking good on the beach. Just like many others the economic down turn (how “PC”) hit me hard and my work as a professional model dried up for a while. During this time with the added stress I picked up a few niggles and I was quite run down. I still worked really hard on the diet side so I have maintained my physique, but my fitness has really gone down hill.  My aim over the next few months is to stay healthy and really work hard on my level of conditioning. I play tennis competitively and I’m hoping for a much better season than last year.

Before I finish I want to say that one of the most frustrating things as a trainer is when you give everything you have to a client and they just won’t help themselves. Luckily most of the time this doesn’t happen and its very rewarding helping people to improve their lives. Don’t be one of those people, if you don’t look after your health and fitness then no one else will. My hope is that by writing this blog I will inspire other people to take charge of their own health. If it helps to line my pockets with gold by sharing snippets of my knowledge then that’s all good as well.

Right my grilled chicken, cashew nuts and celery have gone down so I’m off to work up a sweat with the bells and fold myself like a Russian! If you want to know what I’m on about keep checking out my blog!
