Cycling Instructor in the Making

This morning I taught the warmup song and first workout song of "The Ride," a 45 minute indoor cycling class at my gym. My coach praised me afterwards and said that I will do the warmup, one workout song, and cool down next week. I'm excited to be on my way to becoming an official cycling instructor. I love the high that I get from intense workouts, specifically cycling and running. It's so exhilarating to get your heart rate up high, jam to music, and let go as if you don't have a care in the world. Cycling has given me nice definition to my legs and has decreased my minutes per mile running considerably. It's such a great cardio workout that I recommend to anyone. I think that people can be pretty intimidated when peaking inside the windows of a cycling class, but they need not be because the people taking the class had to start somewhere too. I aspire to be an inspirational instructor that has a high turnout for every class. From taking a variety of classes from various teachers, I've learned what style I like. I like to encourage and not discourage. I like to build people up instead of tearing them down. I imagine I'll be a bubbly, fun instructor, but I will need help along the way from otehr teachers and class participants. I'm definitely looking forward to the day that I have my own class...
