15 B1 | 5. Klasse | READING | Nutrition and health From mid-morning until lunchtime, the gym is a hive of activity. I love the buzz! I work back-to-back doing one-to-one personal training sessions until around 1.30 p.m., (3) quieter again. This is the time I get to focus on myself and do my own training. I have to inspire and motivate others, so it’s important that I’m a good role model (4) myself. In the afternoons, after grabbing a bite to eat, I work on my clients’ schedules or read sports magazines (5) . My clients’ training programmes are individually designed – a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work because they all have different fitness levels and goals. Some, in particular, need advice on lifestyle – things like reducing stress, getting more sleep, (6) and processed food and making healthier, more nutritious meals. These people look to me to support them in their quest to achieve their fitness goals, so I do whatever it takes to help them. My evenings are dedicated to my personal clients, doing workouts either at my small home gym or in a nearby park. I finish around 9 p.m., and (7) , I also feel great because I’ve had the opportunity to make a difference to people’s lives. After having a small snack, I do a final check to make sure I’m fully prepared for the next day, and I’m asleep within minutes of my head hitting the pillow. Having a good night’s sleep is essential if I’m to perform well the next day. This is how my life is Monday to Friday. I work with clients on Saturday mornings too, but aim to finish by 2 p.m. so I can spend time with my boyfriend on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. We usually cook together, or eat out. Obviously, I have to watch what I eat (8) . Therefore, I limit myself to sweet treats once a week. As a PT, I work long hours, but I also have the flexibility to cut my days short if I wish. I love my work and take an enormous amount of pride in helping people learn to love exercise, get healthy and achieve the results they want.
