certification craziness

The last month has been crazy doing education for fitness.  I work for the YMCA and needed to get a couple classes  done.  So I've been studying and taking some general fitness about healthy living followed by group fitness training, choreography and music. Last week I was certified as and instructor for a senior fitness program called Enhance Fitness. We will start this program at our Y as a pilot program instead of offering silver sneaker programs.  Today I took a 3 hour exam for the ACE national Group fitness trainer exam.  I passed, and I can't tell you what a relief that was.  Five years ago I went to school to study fitness and nutrition.  It was my intent to transfer to another program on graduation, but expenses at the time, and our family weren't permitting. Even now the opportunity isn't presenting itself to go back to the nutrition program at this time, however the opportunity to expand on my education and utilize it offers some satisfaction.
So now that the current exam and class schedule is completed, I can start to concentrate a bit back on my own fitness as well as the my current classes. I'm ready for the weekend, my friday zumba gold class and some Hot yoga.  With all the rain going on in our area its totally acceptable to take Hot yoga for warmth.  Happy days ahead.
