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!

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!

I don’t think I’ve shared a pic of my @ensorings silicone ring made with actual metal. I went with copper because it looks more like true rose gold than the pinker rose gold version. I love to wear it when working out especially!

Just updated my @ww app and I’m excited about the #wellnesswins! Obviously weight loss and fitness are the main prize, but working towards redeeming other prizes is a great incentive!

When you realize your new manicure matches your workout top! ???

My Body Pump initial instructor training is a week from Saturday. Yesterday I was sent the new release and my assigned tracks to learn: 5 – Triceps and 6 – Biceps.

I did the whole release as a student then watched and took notes yesterday. Today I did tracks 5 & 6 three times with my verbal cues. I feel really great about Triceps and only need to fine tune my cues for Biceps. It’s crazy how it all sort of comes to you while you are doing it.

Regardless practice makes perfect and I plan to get these tracks in at least 25 more times before the training weekend!
