Every week gets busier with clients – yay!!!  I spent my free time talking to gym members, preparing choreography for my classes, experimenting with new exercises for my clients and doing my own workouts.

Tuesday: 30 minutes of cardio, taught Bodystep

Wednesday: 30 minutes of weight training

Thursday: taught Bodypump

Friday: taught Bodyflow

Saturday: Bodyflow practice for Flow 61 launch

 

Monday’s are busy for me right now since I teach step in the mornings then team teach step with another instructor in the evening before I teach pump.  This Monday was especially exciting since I was asked to teach an impromptu stretch class after the morning step class.  I’ve never taught a free-style stretch class before but I pulled from what I’ve learned from taking a stretch class, my personal training stretches and Bodyflow choreography and the class participants said they really liked it!  Tuesday, I finally managed to get in my own cardio workout via the rowing machine and the Octane lateral elliptical.  Rowing was tougher than I remembered since I haven’t really done any rowing since college, but I still managed about 4000m in 20 minutes then finished my 1/2 hour on the elliptical.  Wednesday was the one day of the work week that I wasn’t teaching so I worked out with another trainer.  We worked on front squats, hang cleans and pull-ups.  I had never done hang cleans before but they are very similar to the clean and press from Bodypump.  It’s always nice to learn and practice new exercises.  I was pleased with my pull-up workout as well – I can now do 5.  I’m trying to work my way up to 10+.  Thursday and Friday I didn’t manage to fit in my own workouts but I was still active through teaching.  Bodyflow after work on Friday was a great way to wind down at the end of the work week.  Today I’ve spent my time learning choreography for our Bodyflow 61 launch tomorrow morning at Gold’s.

I hope you all had a productive and enjoyable workout week as well.
