Personal Best
July 1, 2010 Personal Best by Kate FergusonMore African-American women are becoming fitness-conscious and willing to have a professional trainer help whip them into shape—no matter what. When Lacole Broadus realized her weight had ballooned to 200 pounds forcing her into size 18 clothes, she gave herself a reality check.“I thought the weight was going to fall off after my third child,” Broadus says, “But when she was around 7 or 8 months and I was still 200 pounds, that’s when I knew I had to do something.” The “something” Broadus did was to make a lifestyle change. She wanted to eliminate poor eating habits and pare off the pounds she’d packed on after having her last baby. To reach her goals, Broadus organized an exercise regimen and sensible eating plan that took her down from a size 18 to a size 6 in six weeks. For Broadus, six was the magic number. “I trained six times a week. I did an hour of strength and core training and then an hour of cardio,” Broadus says. “I was very careful with my diet and didn’t starve myself. I had six small meals a day, eliminated all the junky fast or processed foods, cooked everything myself and really watched my sodium intake to avoid retaining water.” Then Broadus took things one step further. She enlisted her husband as a trainer, and after she noticed the many mistakes women made while they worked out at the gym, she decided to enter the profession herself. “I became a personal trainer to show women these errors,” Broadus says. “I’m a perfectionist about nutrition and weight loss, so my career blossomed from there.” First, though, Broadus entered a fitness competition to realize a dream she had after seeing her bodybuilder brother compete in a show. “It was a lot of work, and it took a lot of time,” she says. “But I was so happy to achieve it.” Soon after, Broadus returned her attention to becoming a personal trainer. She also began speaking about health and fitness and how to start training at churches. Now, Broadus also began to get clients, such as Julane Miller-Armbrister, a government and community affairs executive in New Jersey. A friend referred 59-year-old Miller-Armbrister to Broadus. She wanted a personal trainer who’d be able to come to her home for workouts. Her erratic job schedule didn’t allow Miller-Armbrister to get to the gym regularly or commit to fitness classes. “The idea of having someone come to my house and fitting themselves around my schedule was probably the thing that most sold me on getting a personal trainer,” Miller-Armbrister says. “With my 60th birthday coming up, I had a goal to get healthy and be in good shape.” Broadus’s fitness success story also motivated Miller-Armbrister. “I thought that if she was motivated enough to go from 200 pounds to the way she looks ... |
