Yay! Yay! Yay! I Love It!

So, I am in my second week of instructing the adult boot camp class. It is safe to say that when I first started I was TERRIFIED!!!!! I was very lucky that James was working days, so I had him there as emotional support. Each day has gotten easier. When I first started I was not doing the counting for everyone (just kind of letting them do their own), but I have found that they do the exercises better (less cheating) if I do it for them. I have also found that I am not nervous as I instruct them on what to do. The first day that I did the class I had a friend say he was going to come just so he could make fun of me (he was in the class with me when I was a participant). I told him to go home. He thought I was serious and did! haha!! When he found out I had been kidding he said that he would do the next class but didn't really think I would be able to work him out hard enough. First of all, can I just say rude!? However, I kind of felt the same way. At the end of the next class he was dripping sweat and totally out of breath! I had done it! I knew that if I could work him out hard (he is in pretty good shape and young to boot) I would be okay.

So, yesterday comes and I have a hard workout in mind for the class. I was worried that it would be too hard and I wasn't sure I would be able to do it! James had the day off, so he came and I really worked the class out. I even had James sweating, and that takes some effort. I have found that I push myself so much more in leading the class than I ever would just exercising on my own. I have also had people from the class say that it is harder than before I started doing it! Wow! I have had parents from the sidelines (some of these people look like they are in extremely good shape) say that the class looks so hard, and the lady who ran the class before (remember, she is pregnant) told me that when she comes back she wants me to do a class once a week so that I can work her out! I about passed out. This woman's body is in FANTASTIC shape (besides the little baby filling up her tummy! lol)! It was amazing to hear her say that she wanted me to work her out! I can't believe how much I am loving doing this class. I am surprised that I am capable of doing it, but I am thrilled that I am. It feels so good to be able to push myself and others so hard and to succeed! It has been an extremely rewarding adventure and I am looking forward to doing it for the next few months! Yay, yay, yay!!!!
