"Interesting" PT clients

My wife has set me an "interesting"task - she wants me to act as her PT, to help her achieve her fitness and weight loss goals. Given my background this sounds like a great idea. The difficulty in this case, comes with separating us a a couple and us as a trainer and trainee.

This was vividly illustrated when I started to teach Melanie some martial arts basics. I started teaching her as I would a normal student. She got annoyed and started complaining that I was telling her what to do (I was in instructor mode), and I became frustrated that she didn't listen to my advise. Not an ideal situation.

This time, I am going to use a distance PT approach and do the program design, dietary recommendations, motivation and support, without actually doing the one on one training. We both think that this approach should be effective.

The training will start shortly after Mel comes back from her visit to Australia. I will keep you updated on how we go.

Have you set your goals?

What are your health and fitness goals?

Do you want to loose weight? Exactly how much weight? In what time frame?

Do you want to get fit? What does that actually mean to you?

To achieve a goal, you need to know what it is that you actually want to achieve.

Take some time and when you know, write it down, read it regularly and move toward reaching it.

Some tools that may be of use to you are Achieve-IT! and Sculptor 3.

Go for it!
