Day 1 Les Mills Pump Challenge

Day 1

I was like a kid in a candy shop as I unwrapped my weights and put my bar together ! So exciting. Selected Pump Challenge and oh.... there is Susan, Sheldon, Joel, Rach and my personal favorite for obvious reasons, BEN. It was a bit surreal seeing people that I actually have know and care about  are on my T.V. :-)

So I started with a big smile on my face . And man, what a great start it was! I really enjoyed the music and moves. I was surprise on how it all made me feel. Even when I would feel the burn, the presenters were there to push me along.  The 20 mins felt more like 45 so I appreciated the timer on the screen reassuring me that my workout was almost over. I pushed along and finished. Yay!

As a fitness instructor, I was pleasantly surprise that I felt the burn and that my heart rate increased. I actually felt the workout !

I am curious to see how I will be able to balance the Pump Challange in between the other programs that I teach.Watching the presenters really made me think about my own coaching in each of my classes. Am I effectively coaching? Am I setting my participants up correctly? Am I making them feel successful? Am I impacting them like I was just impacted. I am starting to thing that maybe the PUMP Challenge is going to change more than just my body....
