Greetings blogosphere! First let me say that although I am not always on top of updating ye olde blogge, I still check everyone else on my blog list out as they update. Thank you for being entertaining.
Now onto stage fright. So the process of becoming a fully certified BODYCOMBAT instructor is loooong and kinda drawn out (for good reason...it's no easy thing!). I went through initial training, then endured another two weeks of practice, then I "passed off" to team teach. This entailed me having the entire release memorized so the group fitness manager could randomly pick 2 tracks for me to teach. After passing off I was assigned to an experienced instructor (I heart Cindy!) and a specific class time slot (5:15 am on Tuesdays...I know, I'm a bad A). Anyway, since then I've been on stage 4 times and it's sooo much fun. BUT...day 1 (Feb. 15 - I wasn't originally going to teach on Sundays too, but it's worked out that I get to and it's giving me more practice) on stage, I was so nervous before class started that I almost vomited. I was probably pale as a ghost. I was introduced to a few people, gave a quick tutorial on how to put on boxing wraps, and completely forgot EVERYONE'S names. I'm getting better at remembering. And the nerves didn't transfer on stage. Once the music started, I was comfortable and did fine. The nerves have gotten better...now I'm more excited about teaching than anything else. Yay!
Side note: word is that the next release's theme is cage fighting. Interesting...can't wait to get the new release in the mail!
