Today’s “Measuring Monday” free write. The abridged version of my David Cook Fandom.
Month: October 2018
Quality time with Advil and my heated shiatsu massager today after doing Body Pump 107 around 7 times this weekend at training.
My shoulders and arms are especially sore. My training tracks were triceps and biceps so go figure!
What a weekend! 20 hours of training later and I’m halfway to getting certified to teach Body Pump! I’m excited to embark upon this next chapter of my fitness and healthy lifestyle journey! Now to spend the next 30-60 days perfecting my choreography, technique, and coaching! I definitely have a new found respect for the preparation that goes into Les Mills group fitness formats!
Still reflecting on my great weekend with these 10 other instructors-in-training and how encouraging our master instructor Jody was! All of us are local to the DC metro area (including Jody) so I know my relationships with these folks will only continue to grow!
Passed my initial Body Pump instructor training!! It was an intense, but educational and rewarding weekend! Now I have 60 days to submit my final video for review before I’m certified! But tonight I rest and drink a few pumpkin beers!
Checking in before day 2 of Body Pump instructor training!
Lunch break! So far so good. Lots of great insights and technique adjustments. We have our first performances later this afternoon!
Body Pump initial instructor training is today!! I feel good, but also nervous and excited. Today and tomorrow are both 8a-6p days so I was given extensive packing lists. Here’s most of what I packed. Not pictures: extra socks, sweatbands, turkey sandwiches!
Today’s “Measuring Monday” free-write. A (long) short history of my life as a blogger.
I just realized I didn’t share here that I recently started dog sitting with @roverdotcom! I’ve had clients the past 2 weekends and I’ve loved it. It’s a pretty simple way to make money and multitask and HELLO I love dogs! I have some Rover discount codes or could share my page if your are in the Northern VA/DC area and want me to dog sit/walk!
I’ve earned 63 fit points thus far today from going to Body combat and Body pump this morning, walking the dogs that I’m sitting for, and 7.1 miles in my last urban hiking class.
Facilitating my recovery with water, Powerade zero and chocolate milk. Chocolate milk is a perfect recovery drink and beer is also good too, I shall also have pumpkin beer later!
