When it Rains it Pours - But Rain is Good Right
This month is a very busy, very productive month.
Biggest Loser Finale!
I have spent the past 11 weeks, 22 mornings, working with a group of amazing students and staff at Georgia Institute of Technology. They have been working hard at increasing their fitness levels and modifying their caloric intake and I am sooo proud of them. Our team is currently still in 1st place with a team weight loss of 7.2% and 2 of my group members are in 1st and 2nd place for individual weight loss at 15% and 12.8%. They have progressed from 30 mins of cardio a day to 90 minutes a day. There have been injuries and setbacks, but they continue to amaze me every week with their determination and commitment. They are training for their final competitions and we will know the final results on April 19th - Who will be the Biggest Loser?
Entrepreneurship Seminars
I have already proved myself to be a competent group fitness instructor and personal trainer. So now I need to make sure I am a competent business woman. I am attending a 5 week business seminar to help take my business from the "fruit stand to the factory".
12 Week Fitness Program
I am currently designing a comprehensive cardiovascular and muscular strength and endurance program for a client. This has been a lot of fun and a challenge. Usually I design a program based on 4 to 6 week progression and I meet with the client and we progress from their. This time I have to predict when my client will progress and anticipate that in the program design. So it's challenging but definitely a good skill, because as much as I would love to keep clients over their lifetime, things happen and people can not always commit long term, but you do not want them to loose all of the progress they have made when they leave you.
Belly Dance Show
Performance coming up. Practice, practice, practice for the summer show. Hopefully a solo this year, I am auditioning this week. Got to get back on the abdominal routine and tummy friendly nutrtion.
NFL Yet Center
My group has been working with the NFL YET center Boys and Girls Club of Atlanta to renovate their facility. At the beginning of May we will be presenting our ideas to the director and staff of the facility. It has been a long process. But, we are almost done and if our project is complete and concise they might use our plan to renovate their facility. How amazing would that be!
Anyway, that's what April looks like - see you in MAY!!
100 Push Ups - not even close - totally lost motivation, restarting this weekend.

Biggest Loser on Campus - Kick Off
BL Week 1
So it has finally happened.
I have my "Biggest Loser" Team!!! Yay!!!
Last week was kick-off week. I got to meet my team of 6.
I have a really great group speaking with them I see they all have several things in common:
- All know the benefit that weightloss can have on there over all health
- All are looking for someone to motivate them and guide them
- All are extremely motivated and excited to start this journey!
That last one is what is really great for me.
They are all here because they want to be!
So my strategy:
- figure out what level everyone is currently at
- determine just how hard I can safely push each of them physically
- pre set a 12 week progressive program so they don't get bored, hurt, or hit a plateau
- modify the program as I get feedback
The biggest challenge I can see is trying to learn, motivate, and physically push each individual to their full potential while they are in a group.
The biggest strength I think I and my group have are the fact that I have experience teaching small group exercise classes. I can hopefully modify some of my group programs to fit my new clients.
I am really looking forward to this week to see how much weight they managed to loose this week, virtually on their own. They only do 2 workouts a week with me and they have not recieved a whole lot of nutrition information yet. So any thing they loose this week is all about them and the effort they put in on their own.
