Officially A Fitness PRO-fessional

So I figured you'd be kept up all night if you didn't know how my very first aerobics teaching gig went.  I mean, I have only taught college Engloish classes for something like 10 years, but how did I do teaching a bunch of folks how to do silly choreographed dance in order to get a sweat worked up? 

Pretty well, I think.  Out of the seven-ish who showed up, only one left.  She seemed a bit on the skeptical side from the start of the class, though.  When she realized how the warmup was going, she went and got some hand weights, like she just knew I wasn't going to work her out well enough.  Well, she left before the warmup was done.  Maybe she just wasn't very coordinated, and I'm too hip for her. 

I used a fun but not too hard choreography, and aside from a couple of issues, I think all in all it was pretty okay.  The only issues were that I got a little out of breath and with the microphone on my head, I was a bit "heavy breath-y"  and had to take off the headset eventually.  Then, for some weird reason my mix CD was too short!  I had fixed up some cool music, and somewhere in the burning process, I lost two songs.  So the class was over a little early cause I didn't have any other music.  Not a huge loss, though.  They were probably tired of me by then anyway.

So there you have it.  I did it!  :)  From a girl who weighed almost 200 pounds about four years ago to someone who is 50 pounds lighter and teaching an aerobics class.  In four short years.  (It took less time than that for me to lose the weight, but it took longer for me to come to the dark side.)
