How to balance my own fitness and instructing fitness classes?
I’m a group fitness instructor that teaches Step/strength training two days a week and a Zumba class one day a week. I’m a bit on the cubby side and I really want to get in better shape. I really want to try the P90X and/or Insanity. I also want to be able to balance my own fitness routine while still teaching classes and not over due it or injure myself. Do you have any suggestions?
Hi Melissa,
Sometimes working so hard at getting others in shape, our own workout time tends to suffer. When we put so much time in the gym, I’ve learned that less means more. I believe a high intensity strength training circuit is the way to go. Including compound movements, like the squat, deadlift, pushup, lunges, and kettlebell work. Movements that burn the most amount of calories in the shortest amount of time. But I also agree with Michael, your calorie intake is the most important factor.
