By now most of the Les Mills instructors reading this will have taught the new releases at least once (I literally just finished teaching my first solo run of Body Combat, did Body Pump this morning).
My thought process at this point each and every quarter (pretty sure I’m not alone):
- Thank *** for that.
- That went better than expected (i.e. I didn’t have a brain freeze and just stand there staring blankly at the class – therefore I win!).
- I actually like that release a lot more than I thought I did.
- I want to go and sit in a quiet dark room for a while.
- I will now almost definitely get some kind of cold as my body relaxes and the adrenaline subsides!
- Next quarter I will be better at learning and not stress myself out panic learning the cool down the night before.
- I lie to myself a lot.
- Also the cool down is legit the hardest part of every release to learn!
- My body hurts. Why are all classes so much harder when you do them in a class situation than when you practice?
- I get to listen to normal music again instead of the same twenty songs on repeat whilst doing finger choreography.
- Except to be honest I don’t want to listen to any music at all right now – my brain just want quiet.
- I’m so glad I don’t have to do this again for another three months. Three months of being able to teach without pre – game nerves and brain overload.
- Looks on Facebook – someone is already talking about mixing … Like can we not have a couple of weeks to enjoy this one before we need to worry about remembering other stuff!?
- Gets home, eats chocolate because teaching the new ones successfully earns you chocolate. Possibly add wine.
- Go to bed- dream about choreography because now it’s ingrained in your brain (why is it never ingrained in your brain ahead of teaching it!?).
