This past weekend, I went through an intense two-day training to become this:
A Les Mills "BodyAttack" instructor for my gym.Go ahead and click on that link to learn more... it'll be easier than me trying to explain it.
So I'm not a full-fledged instructor yet, but I DID PASS my weekend modules which means I am clear to team-teach! :) Now I have 3 months to master a full 55 minute routine, video myself and submit the DVD to Les Mills West Coast. Once they approve me, I'll be a certified instructor!
I'm so excited to be doing this! I've had this secret desire of becoming a fitness instructor for about 5 years now, but I never really knew how to go about it or if I had what it takes. My trainers from this past weekend were impressed that I've never instructed before and commented that I had a natural ability to do this. Yes!!
I've never sweat so much, worked so hard, hurt so bad or smelled so bad as I did this past weekend! I had to change clothes 3 times each day because I was literally dripping with sweat! My body is so completely sore today... I can barely move. But I love it! I've been going to BodyAttack on a regular basis for about 8 months now and it has totally transformed my body. I'm a lot stronger and way more fit than I was a year ago. But man, I've still got some major strength to gain (namely in my arms and knees) if I'm going to make it through this certification.
And I AM GOING TO MAKE IT through this certification.
Bring it.
Bring it.

if there is 1 thing about Spendy that I know the most, it's that when she puts her mind to something, it gets done. There's no doubt in my mind that you will do it! Congrats, I miss you/love you/admire you/YOU DA BEST!
Go Rebecca! That's awesome sis, good for you. I clicked on the link but those classes don't exist in L.A. yet. I need to get my butt in gear and follow your in shape lead. :)

totally impressive and as I write this I realize I've, once again, forgotten to tell you that I'll be in Arizona tomorrow (2/26-2/28). I want to see you!
Gee Rebecca, That looks so hard. You really give your body a workout. I hope you are in good physical shape and in good health and don't hurt yourself.

Wow, what a coincidence. I have wanted to be a physical fitness instructor too. Thanks for explaining the process on your blog. I am excited for you. Can't wait to have a class taught by you.
