Working on Products

Another trait shared by many successful trainers is that their actual training wages make up only part of their income. They also have many products that they sell to their clients, through their websites, and via their newsletter distribution lists. However, just as with training, same products can only be utilized so many times, and driving time is a perfect time to think up new product ideas.

Whether you are talking about "information" products, such as books, e-books, CD's, DVD's, manuals, etc., or if you construct actual training equipment, use that dead time when you are driving to think of cutting edge product ideas that will not only help your target audience towards their goals, but will also make you a nice residual income in process.

A great example of this is Ultimate Complete Personal Training Business Kit. This kit was constructed simply by taking experiences and knowledge of one trainer, putting it all together in a downloadable package, and making kit available to others in fitness industry.

Making Phone Calls

As most trainers have realized, phone work is an integral part of keeping a steady flow of clients. Contacting and following up with prospective clients is a sure-fire way to keep your training schedule packed from week to week.

In addition, you can call your present clients to check on them. See how they feel after yesterday's brutal leg workout, or find out if their sore shoulder is feeling any better, or maybe check in with them to ask how their job interview went, or their anniversary dinner. TALK to your clients! When they know that you care, they will keep training with you!

Nothing!

One of most effective things that you can do as a busy personal trainer when you are driving is NOTHING! Just let your mind be blank. Pay attention to road, obviously, but otherwise, just enjoy some mental down time!

You spend hour after hour every single day training, motivating, and educating countless people. Sometimes to point that if you tell one more person proper way to do a push up, you just might have to SCREAM!

Let those mental energies have a well deserved break! Listen to some relaxing music and (safely) let your mind wander. Crank out some hard rock and sing your frustrations into wind. Plan your next bout of Karaoke - whatever! The point is that you are doing anything BUT putting your brain on overdrive.

Conclusion

Your time traveling from place to place is YOUR time. Use it well and you will find both your success and your sanity under control, and keep both headed in right direction!

Adjusting laces properly is a must. It came from factory like most shoes. It wasn't laced thru each of holes. I fixed laces and found shoes to fit nicely and very snug. I felt ankle support and was able to tighten them like a snowboarding boot but not so tight as to be uncomfortable. I headed off to squat rack.

Doing squats is something I enjoy. Honestly, I enjoy them a bit more now with full support for my feet. These shoes were great first time. NO break in period was necessary. They were comfortable, gave strong ankle support and allowed me to do full squats without any annoying feet issues. I felt like my feet were flat and firmly place on floor with good traction. Moving onto leg press, same thing. NO odd arches, no slippage, and good solid firm foot placement for a good pressing motion.

I only use these shoes on leg days. That is really where I want support. I do not wear them outside for walking around. They are just like gym gloves. Used in that environment as appropriate. The soles of shoe are good for traction in a smooth, flat gym environment. These particular shoes are not made to be worn as a street shoe. That would be a big mistake. You'd wear out tread in days and be out $100 very fast. However, in gym, where they are meant to be, these shoes were incredibly superior.

My overall reaction and opinion of my Otomix workout shoes are very favourable. I would recommend them to anybody looking for some comfortable, high quality, long lasting footwear that is designed specifically for gym.
