That’s what I heard from a woman today when I was training at the gym tonight and decided to pop into the last half hour of a kickboxing class. It was fun, it was semi-hard, but it was not as fantastic as the last instructor’s class…and she retired from the class a month ago!

Aerobic Instructor’s create almost a cult-like following. If you are good, anyone will follow you EVERYWHERE. I’m not kidding. I go to my Zumba instructor’ class in 2 different gyms. I will see my old, old instructor downtown at a structure building to train there - If you make me sweat and want to vomit, I will go back to you anytime and anywhere.

So what do you do if your favorite instructor leaves?
YOU still do whatever it takes to stay in shape. Just because your environment changes, doesn’t mean you have to.

I used to be one of those fitness snobs (immature I might add) who was sooo frustrated when I had a bad instructor. That instructor made  me feel less energetic and un-motivated to train HARD. In fact, my WHOLE workout seemed ‘messed up’ because of a single person.

These days - regardless of who is teaching…I will still jump up and down, punch and kick hard…even do super, duper advanced moves just to make sure I have an intense workout.

The point is:

- Even if your trainer is on vacation

- Or if you aerobic’s instructor retires.

- Or If I don’t post a motivation….

YOU SHOULD STILL TRAIN….HARD!

So don’t make the excuse that:

- Your gym is closed

- The gym crowd is making you frustrated

- Your training partner didn’t show up

…to not train. TRAIN and TRAIN HARD.

GO! GO! GO! You don’t like the instructor? so what!! GO!!!!!
