Back from the Quarterly

September 1st, 2008

So as Kim has already identified, YES, if there was no Les Mills I would have nothing to post about! However, I just went to the quarterly and instructor upskilling sessions in Arizona and had a blast! The first day was three hours of BodyPump and three hours of BodyCombat “upskilling” sessions, aka for instructors who are already certified to get feedback on how to improve. It was some note-taking/discussion type of thing, and a lot of moving! Our trainer, Angel, was fabulous, and for BodyCombat we even got Rachel Cohen herself! (For those of you who don’t know (or care) she is the Program Director for BodyCombat - i.e. she creates this whole thing!

The next day was the Quarterly. I took this one pretty easy actually cos I was pretty sore from the day before. I did a one-hour RPM charity ride, BodyCombat, BodyJam and BodyPump. Listened in on some other education sessions etc but didn’t do all programs.

Anyway in other news … it was a long weekend here so it was nice to get home from AZ late Saturday night and still have all day Sunday and Monday to do stuff! Went to see a movie with Matthew yesterday (Tropic Thunder - he loved it, not really my cup of tea) and BBQ’d steaks in the afternoon/early evening. Today … I have just spent hours in front of the computer so far (and it’s only 10.41am!) just catching up on emails etc. (And not even work emails!)

That’s about all … I had hoped for a pool day but it sure doesn’t look like that’s happening … I guess DVDs it is!
