This week / weekend, I’ve spent about 25 hours learning more about training. I’m taking the personal training course from Can Fit Pro to help me learn more about the body and how it responds to different types of exercise.
And did I ever have a few “aha” moments.
Over the past few years, I’ve managed to maintain my body – but am not exactly where I want to be. I’m very happy with how far I’ve come – but had no idea what to do next.
Basically I learned that my cardio is awesome (thank you running, bodyattack and bodystep class). I learned that my muscle endurance is great – from doing classes with low weights and high reps. Awesome!
But where I lacked was to build muscle. I didn’t think I had to lift heavier weights or do more intense body weight exercises. I thought what I was doing was great and if I just kept on for a long period of time – I’d get there. But the reality is that building muscle takes work – and I’m so glad I have the knowledge that will get me there!
As I prepare for another full day in the classroom/gym – I’m getting psyched to learn more and to use myself as my first client. And I’m not the only one! There are a few in the course who are just taking it to learn more about themselves rather than start a business. It’s amazing how much you can learn and grow when you decide to take charge and learn about how your own body works.
The theme of my weekend? Me saying “ohhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I get it!”
Pumped to put a plan together to help with events I'll have to complete in the spartan race! Pull ups here I come!
