Have you ever considered being a running coach? Running is a great way to improve your cardiovascular capacity and burn calories. Whether your clients are distance runners or sprinters, they can all benefit from basic to advanced level running strategies.
Though most personal trainers and fitness professionals are used to the gym and know their way around free weights and machines alike, many clients are intimidated to even step foot into a health club. However, almost everyone is familiar with running and obviously learned how to do it from an early age. Still, just because they are running doesn't mean that they are making the most of their time or energy. That is where you come in!
