Fitness Related Topics for Social Media Broadcasts and Videos.

Your next client is on social media right now.
Are you one of many Personal Trainers wanting to be active on social media or get into Blogging more often? Just think how many more clients you could be reaching if you had some quality stuff on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Flickr, Instagram...

Often the two biggest hurdles that get in your way will be:

1) Not having a simple, relevant list of topics to keep clients interested, and:
2) Because we don't have enough topics to cover, we lose interest in broadcasting and momentum is lost.

I recently came across this neat list of topics that you could easily cover in a quick Facebook status, illustrate in a photo (images have high impact) or even better a quick video (quick videos tend to give the best reach on social media).

So feel free to browse this list and start planning your broadcasts - one per week for the next 30 weeks!

TOPICS FOR DAILY VIDEOS, IMAGES OR BLOGS. Depending on your client "avatar" some of these topics may be more suitable than others.
1. How to not eat all the food at Christmas
2. Coping with family & friends saying 'you look scrawny' 'don't go to far'
3. How to not be a killjoy in a restaurant &/or pub.
4. The cake trolley at work.
5. What real hunger feels like
6. What is emotional eating
7. Tactics to overcome eating when you know you are not hungry
