I have a few minutes till my next class, but there's stuff I wanted to share.
Firstly, I have been instructing a weekly TRX session now for 2 weeks. And yes, that's just twice, but I positively love it! There's of course so much I still need to work on as an instructor, but after the class on the train ride home, I ponder ways to make the next session more engaging and intense. I also run over what I said, the instructions I gave (or could have given), and keep those in mind for future sessions. It's hard to do so, because I am my own biggest enemy and my worst critic, but I do pick up on things no one else does, and that works to my advantage - things can only get better!
I always felt I belonged in a classroom setting, and I still believe so. If I ever become a professor at some college/university somewhere, I think I will be thrilled to wake up each morning. I remember how much I used to love teaching in Karachi. Just let me near gender and culture -armed with some theories and ideas and my life experiences- and I can engage audiences within seconds.
But, I have to say, instructing in a fitness studio, feels just as good as teaching Sociology. I want so desperately to work out with the clients because the energy is extremely contagious, but as a trainer, I know better than that.
Just this quickie for now. I'm off to my final class (#6 for today!) and then home for some food and a run.
All I really want to do is fall asleep (which I probably will on the bus ride home), but this run is essential. I have a 5k on Saturday, and I want to finish at a decent time.
So here's a little motivation I could use.
