You’re subbing and there you’re at the front of the room. Finally you get a chance to show what you can do. The music’s rockin’, you’ve got your sequence ready to go, and you know it’s gonna be a tough workout. Not just tough but killer, like anyone who comes to this class is gonna get their ass kicked. And isn’t that what everyone wants out of fitness?  And then the unthinkable happens.  Someone walks out.

It’s crushing. What happened? Are they injured? Did they have an emergency? Did you cause it? That’s our Work IN today. How to read the room as a sub and still be yourself as an instructor. Why trauma informed instruction matters to successful fit pros and how you can make it work for you as you establish your professional credibility.

5 minutes can make or break the results for your workout. You can do everything “right”: dial in your macros, hit your heart rate zones, get your hydration and vitamin D and still struggle to find the results you’re looking for. In fact you may be doing more harm than good if your movement plan excludes time for your body to integrate and recover. Our work IN today is about how we can magnify mind body unity pathways for ourselves and our students in order to boost fitness results without adding extra high intensity, impact and calorie deprivation.
