Spinning


Taught for the first time by myself yesterday.  Had a packed crowd.  Got quite a few good comments from the class.

Actually made my day when I was walking down the steps from doing a class today, and some who I didn't know, and told me I did a good job, and thanked me for the good workout.

Life is good.

But you should see the paperwork that you have to fill out to work at the YMCA...  hopefully I will be good enough.........

Great Day

As I reflect on today, it was a Great day.
But, I have to put everything in perspective. I did have a good class today, but if I had to teach again tomorrow, whould I want to teach the same class again. NO! It is very different looking at others, who are looking for you for guidance, and instruction. Also really had to take some time to get another spin routine ready, and music downloaded. I cheat for the time being. I use the net. I will get my own stuff down eventually. I will make my own workouts in time.

First Ride

Taught my first Spinning class today.  Had around 14 people in class.  4 of them are spin certified instructors.  They loved the ride.  It was a ride that I got off of turnstep.com.  The ride was called Touch of Grey.

Monica, who normally teaches the class said that she could not tell me how to do anything different from what I did.  Told me the biggest problems that I would have would be the technical issues.  We did have one of those today.  The microphone didn't work.  Actually I think it was easier for me with no mic today, it was one the biggest thing that I was nervous about.  Well glad I got teaching a class under my belt.

Had class members thank me too.  Really made my day.

Have to prepare for the next class.
