Ugh. I hate technology sometimes.
I just made the decision to sign up for a local (Mountain View) Les Mills Advanced Instructor Module (AIM 1) for BodyPump in November and the darned link won't let me. It took me awhile to make the decision to go ahead and put myself through it and now I can't. Sigh. Sent an email to LM West Coast so hopefully it's just a glitch and not already full. That would suck because they don't often do these trainings locally and if I do it later, I may have to travel. Which may hinder my decision to do it, depending on where it would be held. After yesterday's TT experience with Alex, I now have a bug up my butt to further my training and get better, deliver better classes for my participants. Even though I got lovely emails today from some saying how much they love my classes, there is always room for improvement.
Speaking of improvement. I forgot to mention yesterday when I was detailing the day that during push ups in the shoulder track, I went down on my knees after a few on my toes and Alex looked back at me, (he had the mic on) and yelled at me "GET ON YOUR TOES!!!" Damn I miss that kind of encouragement :) and pushing that fuels me forward. He gave me some exercises to do on my off days to help build up my strength. I just finished my first 3 sets of 10 pushups, 1 of those sets totally on my toes. YIPEE!!!! Turns out I've been going too low on the pushups, instead of getting to 90 degrees in my elbows. I have felt doing them on my knees was easier because I could get my chest closer to the ground. See? Technique makes all the difference. There are other things I need to do but I forgot so I need to get that info and begin working at it. No excuses for doing my pushups on my knees after all this time as an instructor, right Alex? LOL
I'm excited (what else is new) for class tomorrow night, mainly to put into play some of the suggestions Alex gave me. Talk less? Hmmm. Shorter, more concise cues? I can do it. Let people know that we are turning the corner before we get to the light. More at the middle of the block beforehand. Check. The only thing I don't think I can control is to sing less. Good thing he didn't tell me I HAD to!!
Challenge me, and I will perform. HA.
