Instructors balancing own workouts with classes

[fitwaims]

Hello all,

I'm kind of new to this forum but just wondering how many of you are instructors and how you fit in your own workouts either on top of or in place of your classes. I started an office job 2 years ago and I teach every night and Saturday and Sunday mornings.. I even workout sometimes w/ my own cardio in the morning before work... I'm 35 years old and I cant lose a pound.. I am the heaviest I have ever been and I'm so frustrated. I have to have my thyroid tested b/c it seems that could be the problem... anyway, just wondering if any instructors struggled with this at all. Thanks!!!

Hi Janine,

I teach classes also...right now, I only teach about 3 classes/week.

A few questions...What kind of classes do you teach? Do your class types vary at all? Do you do any weight lifting? Are you eating enough?

Knowing this may give a better idea of what could be going on...

Have you started taking any medication? Sometimes that can interfere with weight loss. I was losing weight steadily, 30lbs over 6 months, but the DAY I went on Lipitor 2-1/2 years ago that weight loss stopped dead. Since then I haven't been able to drop even 1 measely pound (and I have 20lbs to go). My diet is cleaner than ever and I have progressed steadily with my exercise intensity.
