Hello everyone, My name is Lucy, I am 50 years old and recently I became a certified personal trainer. Before surgery I can't say I always liked exercise but I didn't dislike it if that makes sense. I was just always afraid to go to the gym. Since surgery (2/2006) I didn't go to a gym right away. I started run/walk until I could run instead of splitting it with walking. I got up to 13 miles a day I was so excited. With the surgery and running I lost most of my weight. After about 2yrs I started going to the gym I did boot camp classes, boxing for fitness I was so in love that I literally went 2 to 3 times in one day. I also had a personal trainer. I called her the red Devil! She was hard core and she would not let me quit!! I was also working at the YMCA they let me teach a couple of exercise classes. With all of that said and I am sure there are more of us out there who has had the surgery and feels this way. But, I thought to myself I want to help people like me who has had the surgery or people who are afraid to go to the gym for one reason or another. That is why I became a personal trainer. Originally I wanted to help woman over 40 but that isn't enough I would love to help both men and woman who fit this catergory. So now I am trying see where i can go to find people like me and help them become healthy, fit and strong and come to love fitness the way I have. Any, Ideas? I am new to this site. I thought this would be a good place to start. Anyone interested that is from the Old Lyme, CT area or Hampton, CT area please send me an email lucilla.martinez@aol.com
