 I know that strength training is important for physical health, bone density, stress relief, and overall fitness. And I have the best intentions of doing strength training twice a week. But then life happens and some combination of excuses wins. But not anymore.
Random life hack of the day: Sign up to be a fitness instructor and you will get paid to work out and you will get your a** to the gym 100% of the time. Because you have to. Every Monday and Friday mornings at 7am I teach a strength training class called BODYPUMP. I am not a professional athlete and am pretty average build. To be honest I was really scared when I signed up for instructor training that everyone was going to be an olympian and I was going to get laughed out of the room. Quite the opposite; the instructors were just you average human beings, the type you would see at any class. To be honest some were not that fit at all, and this is awesome. Gyms need instructors of all levels to get people comfortable with going to their classes. So whatever fitness level you are, congratulations, you can become a group fitness instructor. Every Monday and Friday when my alarm goes off I think about not going to my workout class, but then I remember I’m the goddamn teacher and I have to be there, so I go. It is just the motivation I need to do my twice-a-week workouts and keep up my strength training. It’s very true that once you’re there and worked out you never regret it. It’s just the hard part of getting there. So if you can hack it so not only do you have to be there but if you can get paid to do it too then you are super winning. As an added bonus you will meet lots of really great people and get to work out with your new friends. I even talked my gym into paying for my instructor course fees. Now go find a gym and sign up to be a fitness instructor! Comments are closed.
