I have a BS in Public Health Promotion dealing with overall wellness, disease prevention, and community nutrition. It definitely adds an angle to the whole exercise picture when dealing with a diverse clientèle. If working with post cardiac patients is too "slow" for you, I suggest working with overweight individuals in a hospital setting. They have chosen a hospital setting to undergo their change and therefore look to professionals for help. Secondly, some insurance programs may pay for these programs so you can get booked up quick...OR..you may get a bunch of deadbeats. In either case, I think it is no different than normal personal training.
