I'm thinking about getting re-certified as an ACE Fitness Instructor.
Here's my brain dump:
I really don't care if I teach a class. Oh but I really loved to teach. I have a lot of "interesting" info to share. I don't have any music. I don't have any moves/routines. I don't have the stamina for a class. I'm old and jiggly - maybe not a great role model for a fitness class. Would I want to take a class from me? Who would? What do I have to offer? Age, wisdom, been-there-done-that ... I can bring something unique to my gym. But that's just that gym - there are very cool progressive places out there. I'm not looking to teach at those places. I wouldn't mind just learning the information again. So much seems to have changed - yet nothing seems to have changed. Being certified gives me options. Do I really want to get on a schedule and teach a weekly class? What if I want to travel? Getting a sub sucks. I wouldn't mind subbing on my own terms. I'd be good at it. I would have a good message for exercisers. I could just get the certification. Continue to work on my own personal fitness and nutrition. Figure out the music and moves issue. Put together a couple classes. Put my name out there to see if anyone needs a sub.
Shit! It's been 20 years since I've taught. I could still do it. Do I want to?
