Spinning music

Spinning instructor musings

Since I began teaching Spinning classes earlier this month I haven’t talked much about it on the blog! So I thought I would talk a bit (randomly) about my experiences so far.

Just because I’ve taught a few weeks worth of classes doesn’t mean I don’t get nervous to be in front of a bunch of people.

It’s fun to play music and see people’s faces light up when they love a song.

Hearing that I taught a good class makes my day.

I always get scared the sound system won’t work.

I feel tired a lot but I am really enjoying my job.

I hope I get more classes in the summer!

I love seeing people I know take my class. (Hi mom. I like to make you sweat–it’s payback for making me clean the kitchen!)

I’m always afraid I will injure myself either teaching or running, and then I won’t be able to do either.

It still feels weird to have people look at me for direction.

I feel like I don’t look like a Spinning instructor.

I love helping people and answering questions.

Those are my random thoughts. If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask!

Spring Break?!

Penn State is officially on spring break! Pittsburgh doesn’t feel very spring-y today…

I had a 7 mile run planned for this morning but decided to take it to the treadmill because it was looking mighty cold and snowy outside. This exact week one year ago I was in Florida with Jimmy…

Even though I’m on break, I feel as if I’m going to be really busy this week!

Things on the agenda:

  • I’m interviewing someone tomorrow for a school newspaper article I’m writing (more on this later)!
  • Work orientation on Tuesday night
  • Two school projects
  • Haircut Thursday night with my sister 🙂
  • Church ladies lunch on Saturday

Other random things I need to do: I need to make a few Spinning workouts + music for my first few classes and I need to decide if I want to run an ultra marathon instead of a regular marathon due to scheduling conflicts.

I wrote an article for the school paper last month, but I wasn’t sure if it was going to get published and I found out last week that it did get published! I wrote about Pit Bulls and you can read it here.

Have a great day!
