THE JOURNEY IS EASY FOR FITNESS COACHES! As a fitness coach clients often say to me - You dont know what is feels like to start exercising for the first time! You dont understand. Its easy for you. And I suppose it could be considered fair to make that type of judgement, considering after all I am a fitness coach. Interesting statement I think to myself.....very interesting! Well Ill let you in on a little insight. Not only do I totally understand how difficult and confronting the health and fitness journey can be, but over the past 4 years Ive personally had to start a new exercise program a countless number of times. From the day I was diagnosed with cancer to current day I have experienced set back after set back. An insane amount of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation treatment, ridiculous injuries, side effects from medication and the worst of all depression - you name it Ive had it. So before you make a judgement about another person, stop! Dont make that judgement! Because if theres one thing Ive learnt from being a fitness coach - you NEVER judge anyone no matter how overweight or unfit they seem! Coaching is about attempting to instil knowledge, promoting personal growth, encourage better health and greater fitness through consistency. Oh, and of course leading by example...which 7 weeks after another round of surgery I am attempting to do. Today was my first training session after 7 weeks of recovery and I can tell you without any hesitation it was horrible. So in actual fact I do understand - completely! Happy exercising :-D Melanie
