I thought I'd better start another post for this. Now I'm not speaking from first and knowledge, but second hand. My boss whose a PT, got her PT certification first, then went for the primary cert. She did not teach any classes before that time. So I'm assuming that she had to have a cert. of some kind that allowed her to teach in a class setting. I'm wanting my PT but I must wait for the money{I'm ALWAYS waiting on having enough money!!}I'm hoping before next summer. Anyway, you were right about Cathe's videos helping me!! Especially MIS and BodyMax!! My boss takes my class and after I got Cathe's tapes and did some things different{like Cathe} she told me my class was killer!! Thank You Cathe!! I was surprised to find that the MIS tape was extremely close to my own class format!! I even involve a step in my classes! Some things were different and the ones I really loved I add to my very next class!! I start with the major muscle groups first, then smaller groups, then abs & lower back, then cooldown and stretch. If you are ever going to be in the Delaware,OH area, let me know and I'll take you to one of my classes!!!

Amazing Aimee!
Gee thanks for the info and description of your class. Wow! Your class sounds just like the thing we need here at our local Bally's. Sorry, I live in Cental Ca. and doubt I would ever have the privilege to attend one of your classes. Fitness has added so much to my life, I would really love helping others achieve their fitness goals. I am also a professional vocalist with a local Big Band and find myself gigging and squirelling away enough $$$ to take my PT test. Here is to the hope that we both either win the lottery or someone wills us some mooooola.
p.s. I have noticed, hovever, that I had enough $$ to order all 8 of the new Cathe tapes...hmmmm?

I did too!!
But technically, the $$$ came from my DH!! You sing? Sooo cool!! What kind of music? Oh Wow!! that's got to be exciting!! And tiring. I would love it!! I can't carry a note to save my life. Oh well, good luck with your certification endeavors!! You will do great!! Who are you going through to get your cert. anyway {AFAA, ACE....}?

Hey Aimeeeeeeeeeeee!
What is a DH? I have not decided what certification board I will go through. I understand some are more difficult than others. I am almost apt to go with the "more difficult" one if it is considered more desirable, presitgious, or more than all that, gives me a better education, ya know what I mean? Anyway, I certainly will keep you posted. As for my singing: I sing all kinds of music with this Big Band. Anything from Natalie Cole to Aretha. I am Hispanic and grew up singing Latin music in a band where I met my husband ( also a musician in this Big Band, he is a classical musician as well.)ANYWAY, I had not sung in more than 8 yrs. put on alllll kinds of weight due to not moving and eating poorly. I decided two years ago to get off my brown bootie and lose the 65 lbs. I had gained and within 6 months of losing the weight was offered the singing job with the Band! My husband and I are having the time of our lives! He uses the PS series as a part of his fitness program and is looking Faaabulous! Fitness has brought all of our joy ( spiritual and physical)brighter and into fuller focus. I am sure that those who share there endeavors on this website know just what I mean! I think that is why we all enjoy Cathe's tapes so much. We sense and recognize her joy! I guess I told you a heck of alot more than you really wanted to know huh Aimee? Forgive me for carrying on so. It is so much fun sharing with other fitness enthusiasts. Take care and hope to chat with you again soon! Deb D

Heck no,
you didn't tell me more than I wanted to know. What an awesome story!!! BTW, I love Aretha!! DH stands for Dear {or the other "D" word depending on your mood} Husband. I wish I could tell you something half as interesting about me, but I can't! I grew up on sports and dance and when I got pregnant with my first child all I did was walk 5miles everyday. By the time I was pregnant with my third, I joined a gym and did water aerobics and weight training. Well, that was 8 years ago since my last one was born and I couldn't afford a gym anymore, so I started exercising at home and got better results than in the gym!! I think it was because I did it more often. Two years ago I started teaching an adult dance class and that's when my boss asked me if I ever wanted to teach fitness. So I got certified and now I do BodyPump and Urban Rebounding. I love fitness although I'm still trying to get my DH into it. He wants a bike for his B-Day so I guess he's starting to come around. Well, that's pretty much it in a nutshell. If you want my opion on certs. I think you should go with AFAA. You have to pass a written and practial exam! WOW was it tough!!
