Bedard, 36, is starting her own private fitness consultant business in London where she now lives. It has been a long road for the former Hensall resident. Bedard dreamed of being a phys ed teacher as a pre -teen but found no encouragement while she was going through high school in the late '70s to pursue sports or physical activity, especial- ly among her peers. The fact that she lived in Exeter and her mother didn't drive compounded Bedard's lack of physical activity and involvement in sports. Bedard's self esteem went even further south as she gained weight, developed acne and became depressed. She eventually dropped out of high school with only a Gr. 10 education, got married and had chil- dren. But at age 29 Bedard had a revelation. "There must be more to life," she thought. Bedard needed to find something to do after her youngest child started kindergarten. She stopped smoking and started to exercise. With the more exercise she did, the more self esteem she earned. Bedard enrolled in a couple night courses at South Huron District High School in '89 starting her on her way to become a phys ed teacher. A year later she enrolled in a psychology course at the University of Western Ontario and later registered for the kinesi- ology program. After going to school part time and working (and getting divorced along the way) Bedard's dream of becoming a phys ed teacher was 19 • Shamrock Ngvke Tatters March 13 - EihIbition game Lucan 5 vs. North London Nationals 1 Goals: Logan Couture (4), Josh Cornelissen Assists: Chad Liley (5).

Former Bedard pursued her dream attained her goal. She's ground to hold Cardio -Spa Huron District High Schoo dashed by what she called "politics" at UWO. Bedard hopes to finish her honours degree in kinesiology after taking last year off to find out what she wanted to do with her life. She said the experience at UWO has been a "won- derful experience." In 1994 Bedard tried out for the UWO track and field team in the 60m dash after not participating in a race in 18 years. She missed out by five tenths of a second but later helped coach the team. Currently a cook at London's Chelsea Park (a retirement home), Bedard hopes her personal fitness business takes off. "This feels right," she said. "I feel great for the first time in my life," Bedard also wants to promote women in sports. "My big focus is women in sport and the equal representation of women Hensall resident Denise of a physical fitness career back to her old stomping r fitness classes at South I starting March 29. in sport," she said. "We need to educate women with sports instead of just talking about it. We need to make it affordable for kids to participate in sports and make it more accessible." Another business Bedard hopes will take off is her Cardio -Spar four- week long classes that start at SHDHS on March 29. Over the four weeks, participants will follow Bedard through a Tae Bo - type exercise class (a combination of martial arts, kickboxing, boxing moves set to music), each Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30-8:30 p.m. Bedard is looking for men and women over the age of 13 to join up for $50 per person or $80 per couple.
