The new job is going fine. I do like the Curves workout. I'm used to keeping my heart rate up longer, but I have been neglecting strength training. I've been doing it, but not very consistently. I will be curious to see the difference consistency can make.
I feel kind of bad, because I'm not sure I'm 100% sold on it yet. But I've found nothing that I think is really wrong, or bad advice. It all seems sound, realistic and jives with what I already know.
They want me to consider myself a trainer of sorts -- making sure the women are using the machines correctly, and knowing what machine works what muscles. That part is fairly easy, since none of this stuff is new to me.
I'm not sure I feel qualified. I think that's the problem I have with the place. The people running it, while we might have more knowledge and understanding of fitness than the average person, we aren't professionals. But then again, I feel like most people who post hear know what they're talking about, by living it. So why should a degree make a difference?
They're going to measure me and do my body fat percentage. I've never had that done before. It's just one of those had held body fat measurers ( sorry, don't know the correct term) I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it will be nice to have a general idea. Then it will be nice to see if any progress is being made. The kind of progress that I can't see.....
Well, I'm kind of pooped -- it opens awfully early, and I've been opening the past few days. I think I need a nap!
