Mentoring

I went to 24 today and taught with Kelly, one of the greatest group fitness instructors I've ever seen! It was awesome. I got some really good feedback from her. I feel like I'm getting better with my cueing, but my biggest challenge right now is varying my voice tone. I feel like I'm monotone the entire time I teach, so I need to raise the bar! I've been jotting down some inspirational shout outs and things to say, so hopefully I can get that excitement in my tone to make my class a fun one, but still challenging, while remembering the choreography and counting all at the same time. Oh yeah, all while trying to breathe and not fall over dead. This is a lot harder than I ever thought it would be, but I'm loving it, so that's really what it's all about. Now if I can just convince my already tired legs to put in a few miles on the treadmill tonight, I'll be golden. Honestly, it's mostly a mental thing. So if I can tell myself good thoughts for the rest of the day (and if I can sneak a cat nap in this afternoon), then maybe I'll be ready to put on my Friends DVD's and run!
