Major WOW today!!!!
SO .... I went to the gym to get started on my 5K training for the Girls on the Run thing I talked about in Pam's P90X post. I took the treadmill class with my beloved psycho Suzy. I knew that I could just do things at my speed. She doesn't push me harder than she knows I can go in that class. I just do what I can.
Anyway, we were doing some stretches and ab work at the end of class and she and I were discussing the yoga class I went to the other day and some of the other things I've done. She was full of compliments on how far I've come since she's first seen me in class. That made me feel great, but that wasn't it.
She then told me that I should be an instructor. I was like of what?! Of classes, Lisa.. a fitness instructor. WHAT?!? I told her I was not good enough for that. And she told me that I could just start off slow. Like, teaching a beginner's pilates or yoga class and then go up from there. She said that I am great with people and she always sees me helping others out in class and that I would be great at it.
That just made my whole week! I am going to look into it, but no promises.. just knowing that my crazy instructor thinks that highly of me is just incredible!

As I was told my one of my favorite professors, the way you learn and become a good instructor is by teaching as well as learning from your students.
As I tell Gene as he's begun his career as a professor teaching graduate courses when he comes home frustrated and says he can't teach - you learn by teaching. As he is finding out reading his classes final papers he did teach them and he's blown away by it!!!!
Go for it when you are ready - what an awesome opportunity!!!!

Yes, definitely consider it! What a moment! I still toy around with the idea of getting my spin cycle cert - with everything going on that took a back seat and I'd need to get back hard core before I even considered it.
Congrats!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.
