My Instructor Career, Update

[Connie1]

Thanks to encouraging words from many of you, I was prepared for the following opportunity. My local YMCA has given me my very own step class, every Saturday morning at 9:30!

I have only subbed before this, three classes, but very few time slots would work for me, because of job and family. I start Saturday May 29th!

Just bubbling over with delight here! Thanks to Cathe's wonderful skills, I got fit, and thanks to her great example, I have been able to instruct a safe, fun class!

Way to Go Connie!!!
I LOVE teaching my Saturday morning members!! They are committed to fitness and come to class ready to have some fun and work HARD}(.
Once the warmup is done and they've woken up a bit it's easy to get lots of smiles and chuckles (and sweat) out of them
I taught this morning after being out for a month with an injury and was almost overwhelmed with the warm welcome and kind concern shown to me by my participants.
Enjoy your new opportunity and never under estimate the difference you are making in people's lives. Rock the house Connie!!:7

Take Care

I'm sooooooo happy for you Connie. You're going to have a blast. I've found the Saturday crowd to be a more "serious bunch". Give us a post class update on May 29th

That is super Connie! You have worked sooo hard to get there! Do you do all your own choreo? We know you've had a good example to pull ideas from. Let us know how this weekend goes. Congrats!!!

Brilliant Connie, I'm so excited for you. I'm also very envious of you too x(

Keep us posted. It's always nice to hear progress reports.

Good luck

Debbie,
Yes I provide all the choreography. Of course it's all stolen ;-) except I do have an "original" sequence involving power squats! It's 32 counts.

But I haven't invented any new moves. Just combos, and making sure whether they change leads or not and what position they start/end on is important.

Yes, I'll post after the first official Saturday class this weekend!

Another delight is that I took instructor training with another Cathe-ite, Alexandra. She is very fit. I'll try to get her to sub for me some day. She is the first and only Cathe exerciser I've met "in the flesh!" She's an a.m. exerciser like me, and we have several other things in common!

Having a blast already,
Connie
