If you have read my profile or earlier posts, you will know that I teach Zumba classes. When my longer term students started asking for more toning (I didn't love what Zumba had to offer), I started looking around. I got a certification to teach PiYo which is a toning and core workout inspired by Pilates and Yoga. I didn't love it as much as I had hoped though, and wasn't driven to put the class together. Live Insanity is another story.
I was very intimidated when I went to my first live Insanity workout. It looks so intense on TV and I actually had a little ego at stake. I have been teaching fitness classes for two years. What if I can't do this workout? I took a couple of my students with me just for fun, then realized what I had done! I had a great instructor and really pushed myself. At one point I had to take a walk so I wouldn't puke - man I felt like a real athlete then! I had to modify many times during the workout, but it's set up so everyone can go at their own pace, not even with the music. After just a few times I noticed it was getting much easier, OR I was getting stronger fast. And that I liked. Seeing muscle definition I liked. This class did inspire me!
I like to pay it forward, so when I got the chance several weeks later to teach this format myself, I decided to take it.
