Fitness

If you are a fitness buff, but you’ve always done it is strictly for personal reasons, you may be able start making some money at it. Perhaps the best way is to become a personal trainer. Gym’s all across the country have personal trainers, and since turnover is high, they’re usually looking for a few more.


Physical fitness is a general state of health and well-being and, more specifically, the ability to perform aspects of sports or occupations. Physical fitness is generally achieved through correct nutrition, moderate-vigorous physical activity, exercise and rest.

Before the industrial revolution, fitness was the capacity to carry out the day’s activities without undue fatigue. However, with automation and changes

in lifestyles physical fitness is now considered a measure of the body's ability to function efficiently and effectively in work and leisure activities, to be healthy, to resist hypokinetic diseases, and to meet emergency situations.


You probably have to get certified as a personal trainer, and may even need to get a CPR certification. The regulations vary between the states, and in some states the requirements are particularly light. You can start out as a trainer in a gym, but as you get better known, you may be up to take on better paying personal clients.

And of course there’s Crossfit which I absolutely love.  Crossfit was relatively unknown in 2005 when I started it but now “boxes” (the equivalent of a gym) are popping up everywhere.  Even in my area there are now 6 Crossfit boxes that I could attend.

1. Listening to music
2. Watching TV
3. Surfing online (which more or less means Facebook)
4. Some sport (like Swimming)

6. Dancing (reason same as singing)
7. Musical instrument (mostly guitar)
8. Reading
9. Philately
10. Numismatics
11. Gardening
12. Gym/Workout
13. Photography (owes new followers partly due to social media and partly due to ease of access to DSLRs)
14. Writing (blogs provide a great platform)
15. Cooking .

Writing

Writing has all kinds of possibilities.

You can do it as a freelancer, responding to ads in Craigslist, or you can sign up for sites like Five or People Per Hour where you can offer your services for open bidding.

Miranda Marquita, a very successful freelance writer previously shared her success story on what it takes it to make it writing.


She writes,

Success is freelance writing is largely individual, and requires hard work. But if you are willing to put in the effort, chances are that you will be rewarded with a satisfying career.
You don’t have to limit your work to straight writing assignments either. You can also try your hand at editing other people’s work, as well as speech writing. And if there’s a hidden teacher in you somewhere, you can even consider tutoring people on how to write. It’s a weakness for a lot of people, who may be willing to pay you to help them get better at it.
