Busiest Teaching Week Ever!

Holy crap, I taught 5 classes this week! Body Sculpt and HHH on Monday, two TK's on Tuesday, and HHH on Wednesday. I don't think I've ever done that much in one week! It was great though. I was actually having a hard time getting super motivated after teaching on Monday. My muscles were so sore and I just didn't really want to. My TK Cardio Party had on okay turnout, about 14. I was hoping for more so I guess I was kind of bummed out. Then I was really having a hard time getting excited about HHH which kind of surprised me. I've totally been excited to teach it, so I don't know why I was feeling that way. Anyway, when I got to class last night, it was so much fun. About 15 people showed up, including one guy! Everyone was laughing and having a great time. I knew that it was a successful class, just because of the great energy in the room. Then tonight I went to take a Zumba class. Before it started, one of the girls came up to me.

Her: "Are you the one that taught Hip Hop?"

Me: "Yeah, that was me. Were you there?"

H: "Yes, and I just wanted to tell you thank you! That was so fun and almost therapeutic for me. Thank you!"

M: "Oh, you're welcome, I'm so glad you liked it."

I was so happy with her reaction! Then after Zumba class, I approached two girls that also had come last night. I just told them thanks for coming last night. They looked confused until I said Hip Hop. They didn't recognize me without my "street" gear on and with no makeup. They were so over the top with how much they liked it and how they wanted it to be a longer class. It made me feel really good. I'm glad that we had a good response. Hopefully they'll all tell their friends and I'll get even more people next week!

First Day of Body Sculpting

I'm not even technically certified to teach Body Sculpting, but what the heck, right? I'm on the schedule to teach it every Monday and today was the first class. I have to admit, it was a very good, challenging workout. I think from everyone's expressions, it was good. I hope so at least. I'm not used to teaching this type of toning class. I'm used to the cardio, constant talking, cheerleading type of workout. It's going to take a while to fall into my niche, I think, but it will be okay. I'm anxious to start seeing results from this class. It's nice that I teach it because it forces me to do at least one toning class a week.

I also subbed for the Latin Impact class tonight. I taught HHH. It was a good class, about 7 people. Tomorrow I'll be teaching church aerobics in the morning with TK, and then at night is my TK Cardio Party, Luau Style! I'm going to be sporting my grass skirt and coconut bra. I have lei's for everyone...it's going to be fun!

Getting Ready

So I have just over two weeks until I start teaching my classes again. I'm getting so excited and anxious! I can't wait to see my students again! You really get a good friendly relationship with them and I've honestly missed them. Anyway, the good news is that I'm going to be teaching three classes a week starting in June. Not only am I going to be teaching TK, but I'm going to be adding Hip Hop Hustle and a Body Sculpt class. I've never taught anything like Body Sculpt, but I'm excited and up for the challenge. My first TK class back will be my luau themed TK Cardio Party. It's going to be a lot of fun! I just made up my flyers and they are so cool. It's going to feel good to get back in the swing of things with my workouts. I also can't wait to get back into Spinning. Once I feel fully recovered and back in decent shape, I also want to do this program called P90X. It's a 90 day workout that TOTALLY shapes your body and makes you look so amazing! Brandon and I are both going to do it, so I'm anxious to see our results after the three months.
