#hilariously it took one of our boot camp guys nearly out of commission

I haven’t worked out for as many consecutive hours back-to-back in years as I have in the past few days, and I am spent. 

On one hand, I’m flattered everyone was enjoying my class so much I literally had to teach the whole damn thing when it was supposed to be a twenty-minute half session demo using our personal trainers and other fitness instructors (and instructor candidates) as dummies. 

On the other...I was entirely too confident in my ability to instruct and cheer (yell) people on during a high intensity cardio class. I can do the workouts themselves all day long with no trouble. 

Yelling over music--especially as a quiet person--for that long while also doing all the movements full-out is an entirely different ballgame. No matter how trained your breathing patterns are, you don’t always hit them when you need to.
