Former Hensall woman proves.
pursuing your dream can pay off
By Craig Bradford
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
EXETER - Denise
Bedard is proof positive
that perseverance can
produce a dream come
true.
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

Punching power. 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

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. Teens and
seniors can register for
$25 each.
