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

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.

A Certification for every in-
structor is absolutely neces-
sary. If an instructor is
certified then the clients can
get the full benefit of going for their WELLNESS Ses-
sions as the Instructor is

instructors to offer differ-
