Qualified To Teach

The task ahead of you is never as great as the power behind you....
"BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN HIS MIGHTY POWER" Ephesians 6:10

Welcome fellow fitness instructors and all of my dedicated group fitness participants!!! I am so excited to have this site to communicate with all of you. After 17 years of being in the industry(yes, I have been a certified instructor since 1991), I am still amazed at the energy and enthusiasm offered in group fitness. Les Mills, of course, is the leader in keeping our classes cutting edge and in giving us the best results.

Body Attack is my passion, but I love teaching Step, Pump and Flow as well. They are all awesome and give a great cross training effect to my job! I feel blessed and enriched by being part of this amazing LM community and the fantastic team at Gold's. Becoming a trainer/presenter for Les Mills is a goal I hope to one day pursue...for now "mommy" is taking priority. A big thanks to all of you who come class after class and week after week...I love what I do and your participation is paramount in my success. As always, I'm available for your feedback or questions.

Photos include Allie,my beloved husband and biggest cheerleader(although he still hasn't tried my Attack class!!!)...we met at the gym, of course :), our blessings from God, Katie,5(our princess and gymnast/dancer=she can already do a better wheel and standing split than her mommy!!) and Emma,3(our spirited child!).

As many of you know, I taught high school English for 8 years before having kids and just can't let it go, so the following is your "brain food" for the week...Strong bodies, strong minds, right? :)

JULY 2

Word of the week:
MAZY= confusing, intricate, perplexing

Although learning the 4 new release chory can be MAZY, unleashing the new classes is a blast!!!!:0)

Quote of the week:
"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll be among stars!!"

Fit Fact: You take 20,000-30,000 breaths per day! Drawing a full breath increases the amount of oxygen that circulates through your body and into your brain and calms the sympathetic nervous system....just BREATHE!

Hey!!! ok...back from Antigua, a few new pix to perk things up a bit, I should have more once I get 'em loaded but at least these are up. We got married 10 yrs. ago in Antigua and we renewed our vows there last week! Amazing trip, just like paradise.

PT going strong, I'm actually taking a breather from teaching this summer and will rejoin in the forray in the Fall. sometimes a little breather is a good thing w/ how much we teach. I love it of course and I know I'll be dying to get back into it come August.

how are things for you? I'm sure you are giving it your all as usual =) Hope your summer has started off strong. k/i/t

That sounds like fun. we did that here at the and of feb and then spread out this past qUARTER because there are so many festivals here in San Antonio in april so we had to make sure numbers were going to be okay. we also had final 4 to contend with this year. I LOVE the new flow, unfortunately i only have one flow class right now.

I wish things would have worked out differently there as well, i still dont understand why he told me i couldnt teach anymore, oh well you win some you lose some. take care girl... tell everyone hello...

Korie	Hey Emily, Thanks for the message back. So interesting because I am growing my hair out too (to donate it) and I read your daughter gave her hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. My hair is so curly it's taking forever but I just keep trying to get it longer and longer. Have a GREAT weekend! Korie

Em! yesterday, I ran, taught Pump, worked on the weight floor prepping for PT stuff, then later I practiced getting ready for Combat launch 2nite at 1 gym. I'm STILL whooped! Sorry I've fallen out of touch for a bit, I've been wondering how your trip went to Disney. By the looks of the pix fabulous! What a great looking family, wow, thanks for a sharing. You are a great fitness role model and are super sweet on the inside where it counts!

Exciting news w/ the Super Sat stuff, I'm so glad to hear how it is taking off for you.

I launch at one gym this week w/ Combat (love it), and next week 3 programs at another gym. Still plowing through the PT stuff, my brain feels like I'm thinking through mud sometimes...pray for me! =)

Still cranking away on learning BA, lovin' BP....had to back off Flow for a bit, too many things on my plate and I was nearing the breaking point!

many hugs,
Skyler (with an a) =)

Hi Lady!
So glad to get your message! Brionne did a fantastic job at Flow training, I think she will become a fabulous instructor! I had such a wonderful time this weekend and came back with such enthusiasm that even my Pump class benefited tonight! It rocked! Thank you for all your blessings for the job /move situation, we got some potentially wonderful news today-- keep your fingers crossed! Kiss those darlin' little girls on the cheek for me! See you tomorrow at Gold's!
