I stink at updating.
But I said I'd update after I'd taught my first fitness class. It wasn't real until then. I didn't put the job title on my facebook until then, lol.
So I taught my first and second classes -- on a tuesday and a wednesday -- shortly after getting hired. The first one sucked. The second one was awesome.
And, I'm probably being a little hard on myself saying the first one sucked. My friend who came to class swore she didn't even notice that I was struggling. By struggling I mean there were parts where I forgot the choreography and lost confidence. That's okay. It was a learning experience. I'm really glad I taught again the next day because I started to have a omg-why-am-i-even-doing-this panic attack after the first one lol.
I got a regular class starting next week (!!!!!). I'm taking over for a guy who's going on an extended medical leave -- 3 months. So basically, the class is mine until then. And by that point I'll probably be teaching more than just one day so yeah. I'm starting to get nervous again because it's unfamiliar territory, what if they hate me, etc. I'm trying to plan and prepare as much as possible. I really want to practice the routine on the folks at my regular gym first but I don't think i'm going to have that chance...hmmph. I heard the people over there are huge fans of Turbo so that's a good and bad thing. Good because they're probably full of energy. Bad because it's intimidating to keep up with that lol. We shall see. I am excited though!!!!
And .. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I am excited for 2014!! Already got plans to get more certifications and do more awesome things. yay!!
