As long as you feel comfortable in your skin don’t worry about what others think.

Wear it With that confidence. As a Fitness Trainer I have met many wonderful women

who have transitioned in the way they wear their fitness attire. I must say, they look

very confident. ---MEERA NAIR

The 80's was the era of leotards , leg warm-ers and hair bands. Make up was not a com-

mon thing however some women used

lipstick and eye liner, , if you compare the

80's & 90's to these days, there has been a

big transformation. We not only get to wear

comfortable & fashionable sports clothes but

also accessories. Isn't that wonderful? Being

fashionable has become a fitness status for many. We want to look fit, have fun and feel

great. When you feel good, your self esteem

is higher too and that could be the motivation

for many. So yes, I would say fashion and fit-

ness are a great combination.

The smell of sage

can reduce sad-

ness and anxiety.

nges you would like to

would definitely love to see

omen between ages 40-60

ove getting into strength

than just a cardio work-

ombination of cardio,h & flexibility is a right ap-

I would love to see a shift

set when it comes to

and exercise.This could be

raditions and culture in dif-

ountries.Instructors can

ig part in the wellness of ticular age group by creat-

e awareness.There is

r anyone and everyone to

ate in a fitness program

uitable for each individual.4) Best form of Workout?

Ans) We human beings are not alike. Our bodies, our

muscle fibers ,our interest are all so different. So if you

ask me what is the best form of exercise , I would say "

it depends on the individual" . For a person who is very

stressed you would want to give some mind calming ex-

ercise which could be yoga or pilates or even and out-

door walk int he nature. For my 80 year old mother who

has week knees , probably 10 minutes walk with the

help of a walker 3 times in a day and some exercisesfor joint mobility and stretching could be one option. For

a fit and athletic individual it could be sports condition-

ing that works wonders.The best form of workout is one

that suits a particular person that gives that person the

best results. Most of all they must enjoy it

thoroughly.Having said that, being able to maintain that

overall fulfilling lifestyle by having a little bit of every-thing with proper balance , is what really matters after

all. Here consistency plays a big role be it time for fit-

ness, time with family and friends, time for work and

play which is a more holistic approach to life as a whole

As I mentioned it's just not the exercise we're

talking about here.A fulfilling life style can only be

fulfilling when you have a little bit of everything,

that is, exercise, eating the right kind of food, hav-

ing enough sleep.Changing a negative situation as

much as possible as a positive learning experi-

ence and having acceptance.Be positive all the

time, be very practical. Be active, eat, hydrate andsleep well and most importantly be connected to

your loved ones!

5) Tip for youngsters!

Ans) Create a healthy lifestyle

that you can continue till your

last breath. Don't look at fitnessas a short term goal , example -

to look good on your wedding or

to have the muscular body in a

short span of time just because

some of your friends are in to

body building. There are no

short cuts.Its a very long road and there will be road blocks at

every phase of age when you

grow older.

This is the body you have been

gifted with, the only body you will

ever have. It will not look and feel

the same. Be ready to embrace thechanges your body will go

through,so be kind to your body . Do

not abuse it or you will have to pay a

price later in life

6) Tip for future instructors and

clients under them!Ans) Keep upgrading yourselves!

Learn new things.Take care of new

participants. Make them feel wel-

come. Take effort to get to know


9/16

THE PERFECT POSTURETake care of your partici-pants...Having said that, do take

of your own body too, don’t get

to the point of burnout! Even if

you are an instructor , you must

exercise to be fit.

Conducting too many classesback to back might set you to-

wards getting repetitive stress in-

juries. So take care. As for your

participant, find out what their

goals are so you can help them

achieve it.

Treat everyone equally in aclass. The first thing any instruc-

tor must do before you even star

to teach is to get a CPR/AED

and First Aid certificate. This will

help you to understand what you

need if some untoward incident

happens in your class. You might be able to save a life. At the

same time you must also get a

Primary Group Instructor Certifi-

cate if you are teaching in a

group or a Personal Trainer Cer-

tificate if you are teaching a one

to one Personal Training. You

may have a Speciality Workshop

certificate to teach classes like

Zumba, Bokwa , Piloxing , TRX

or any other programs, however

it is really important to obtain a

proper Fitness Certificate be-

cause it teaches you techniques,

leadership, safe & effectivemethod of exercise, it teaches

you how the body works and

many important things involved

in being a Fitness Teacher. Let

Let me put it this way: If you have only

the speciality workshop cert and you areteaching it's like being an eye specialist

without doing your doctor's degree or

being an English teacher without a

teacher's trainer degree.

client should be encouraged to workout at their own intensity level and progr
