Thread: Hello from New Zealand

I am a woman in my 50s and live in New Zealand. Recently I decided it was time for me to 'reinvent' myself. I have started training my mind (at university) and my body (exercising using weights) and have also commenced a training course to become an exercise trainer. I was so pleased with my own weight-loss that I decided I might be able to help others who are struggling with weight issues.
I have started a wee business as a mobile fitness trainer and I go to people's homes to train them. Most overweight women do not want to join a gym as they feel too intimidated by the slim, muscle-bound young bodies.
I am not interested in getting into any non-natural foods or protein shakes. I eat only free vegetables grown in my own garden. I only consume protein powder which has no artificial additives.

As I'm new to this site I am not used to writing to forums like this so please tell me if I do anything that is not permitted.

I am not looking for a man (or a woman for that matter). Nor am I wanting anyone stalking me online.

I am a Christian and believe that God has called me to help people who may be house-bound (due to excessive weight)to start exercising and eating properly and becoming the best person that God intended them to be.

The main reason I signed up to this site is to find out any resistance exercises that can be performed at home with little or no gym type equipment. Most of my clients are ladies who do not have money to purchase equipment. Some of the weights we use are plastic milk bottles filled with either water or sand. I also use therma-bands which are great for resistance training. They come in 5 different thicknesses each one a offering bit more resistance than the previous.

Oh well, hope that's enough info for now.
Remember, no funny business please or I will leave and never come back!
