Personal Trainer - First Assignment

As I began to re-evaluate my passion and future with physical fitness, I have been given an opportunity to sharpen my pencil. My mother has decided to proactively improve her health. This is a huge thing that I have been looking forward to! Further, she has asked me to be her personal trainer. Of course I said "yes" without hesitation.

There certainly are hurdles to this given that I currently am taking classes to finish up my undergraduate degree at the same time as I am working 55 hours per week. The solution is that I am spending one day per week working directly with her. The rest of the time, she is following a program I put together. The key to the program is that it includes website links to show her how to properly perform any exercise. On top of that, I've recorded instructions, along with counts for her workouts that she can play on a cd while she works out.

To cover her diet, I've instructed her to record everything she eats on http://fitday.com, a free website that acts as a convenient food journal. I will be reviewing her diet periodically to comment and guide.

In the weeks that come, I will comment on more details regarding the struggles and triumphs of my mother's fitness overhaul via a semi-long distance personal trainer relationship.

Any comments and suggestions are more than welcome!
