Welcome to me

Hi People

This is my first post of many to come. Firstly a bit about myself.

My name is Aleks Petrovic I operate a website www.myfitmate.com.au which is an online profile directory to find personal trainers in Australia. It's a new site so if your visiting for the first time be patient as we are building the memberships of our trainers online. The site itself also offers free programs for people wanting to learn more about how to lead a healthier fitter life. We get our trainers to contribute to the programs we send out so you will recieve great tips on workouts and meal plans too which are UP TO DATE!

I myself 4 years ago was a unealthy person, enjoying the so called "good things in life" such as junk food and soft drinks as well as lounging around and saying to myself "oh I've got plenty of time to lose this weight" until the realisation hit me in the form of 3 slipped discs in my back by just trying to pick up a ball! it was then i realised that this wasnt a joke i needed to do something and fast.

I turned to the professionals because i had no idea on where to start, i contacted my doctor and got refferals to begin my journey. After finding my trainer (which wasnt easy I went through 5) i felt a perfect relationship was beginning. After 1 year I had gone from jogging under 1km a day to 8-12km per day, I was playing regular sport, eating well and feeling great I went from a size 42 pant size to a size 34! and i lost a total of 30kg. the most important thing for me as I realise now is that its not about how quick you lose it but HOW you lose it. It has to be something sustainable not short term, simple not complicated and most of all the goals have to be realistic.

Now 5yrs on I am partnered with my former personal trainer to promote what personal trainers can offer and as well as this we built our website so people can match themselves with a trainer saving the task of moving from one to another as this can eventually lead to a loss of motivation and we all know how much of that we need when tackling weight loss.

I will be adding programs and share thoughts and tips on this blog but I do encourage anyone who wants more info to join our program on our site www.myfitmate.com.au and enjoy.

Aleks
