DAYS' Sal Stowers pursues non-acting job

Days of our Lives star Sal Stowers (Lani Price) is helping people achieve their health and fitness goals as a newly certified personal trainer.

She may be busy trying to keep crime at a minimum in Salem, but that hasn't slowed Days of our Lives' super cop Sal Stowers (Lani Price) from following another dream. The actress just announced on social media that she has become a certified personal trainer.

The California native took to Twitter with the news, sharing the reason she decided to give this new career opportunity the grit and muscle it deserves.

"Health and fitness is something I'm truly passionate about so I decided to dive all the way in, educate myself and take my training to a new level," she writes. "I also wanted to be truthful and have the knowledge behind my workouts and advice I share with you all. I'm so excited to keep learning and see where my fitness journey takes me."

Funny enough, Stowers' experience at DAYS may have helped inspire her new career as a personal trainer. The actress shared with Soap Central that she resorted to doing pushups on the advice of the show's casting director, Marnie Saitta, to calm her nerves during her audition for the role of Lani.

"I had been in to read for Marnie a couple of times, and it was one of those things where I would have a great read with her, but I wasn't always fully there [and never landed a role]," Stowers shared, adding that Saitta's advice to do pushups was the trick that eventually led to her DAYS audition success. "She was just so wonderful and kept me calm. I remember she told me, 'When you get nervous, do some pushups. Get down there and do pushups, because it will take the nerves away!'... I will never forget that whole audition process. It was amazing."

At this time, it's unclear how -- if at all -- Stowers' new job will affect her screen time at Days of our Lives. Considering personal training is usually a pretty flexible job, it's unlikely to take Lani off the canvas.
