Bodypump Update

By
I've taught a lot of Bodypump classes at this point, but always as a sub for someone else's class. 

I have never been able to teach a class as the official, scheduled instructor. 

But that changes tomorrow. 

The Saturday class at my gym is on a rotation and a few instructors, including me, are taking turns teaching the Saturday class this fall and winter. 

It's my first turn tomorrow!

It's a small step, but it's another step forward toward my dream of teaching two-three Bodypump classes somewhere, sometime each and every week.  

In other Bodypump news, today I bought my ticket to my very first Les Mills Quarterly! 

I can't wait!

I had the time of my life the weekend I got Bodypump certified- I loved being able to do Bodypump for an entire weekend. 

So I know I am going to really enjoy being at the Quarterly. 

The gym where I currently teach has Bodypump and Bodycombat, but I've actually never been to any of the Combat classes, so in fact, I have only ever been to a Bodypump class.

So I am looking forward to sampling the other formats, especially Bodyflow, since I think that might be my next certification.  

How do I know I like Bodyflow? when I've never been to an actual Bodyflow class?

I Googled it, of course!

No, seriously.

I found a You Tube video of a Bodyflow workout and from that single video, I have pretty much fallen in love with the format, so I look forward to doing Bodyflow, along with several other formats, at the Quarterly.

"...the child should have a set time everyday to read for fun. Begin with half an hour for first graders, and build up to an hour of reading time daily... This is an important part of the child's education: it improves his reading skills, teaches him the habit of sitting still with a book, and reminds him that reading is fun... free reading ought to be spent on literature at or slightly below the child's present reading level so that he can simply enjoy himself. The easier reading will help him increase his speed." The Well Trained Mind: The Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer

Andrew Peterson's Songs That Celebrate Marriage and Family

By
Recently, I got to go to an Andrew Peterson concert at the Community Coffehouse in Danbury, CT. My dear friend and I didn't realize the show was sold out when we arrived.  But luckily, the lady at the door showed us pity, let us pay for tickets that didn't exist, and go in. We were willing to stand at the back, but we were able to find space on a bench at the back of the hall. I knew a few of the songs he sang that evening, but many of them were new to me because I have a hard time with new music.  I'd rather sing a song I already know by heart a hundred more times than hear a new song through even once. I know it is a problem that I need to work on if for no other reason than for the sake of my poor husband and daughters who have to hear the same albums everyday for a year. No, really. A year. At least. I have been giving myself permission to buy new music for this reason. So I came home that evening or maybe it was the next day and I purchased three of hi

Astronomer Shoe Boxes for Challenge B

  Avril finished her astronomer shoeboxes for Challenge B.   The Challenge B students have all done research and projects on astronomers throughout this first semester.  Now, students choose two (or more) astronomers in secret and provide clues to the astronomers' identities in their shoeboxes.   For instance, if an astronomer made telescopes, sang opera, played piano, discovered binary stars or Uranus, studied eclipses, lived in a simple, log cabin, or made a map of Washington D.C., you might include some of those items to your shoe boxes as hints.  Student bring in their shoeboxes, and classmates get a chance to guess who the astronomers are based on what's inside the boxes.  Can you guess who Avril's astronomers are based on the pictures above?  Hint: Her two boxes actually represent three astronomers total.
