One of my favourite movies ever is Mr. Holland’s Opus. I love the scene pictured above when Mr. Holland is trying to teach Louis to stay on the beat.
Tonight, I wish I could have put a football helmet on my Body Pump Instructor’s head and banged the beat on her head. My god, its really not that difficult is it? She was off the beat, for at least 70% of the class. I thought it was safe to assume that most instructors have some sort of rhythm, but this lady clearly missed the “rhythm” part of the gene pool. Man oh man. Needless to say, I spent most of the class being irritated, rather than pushing myself to work my hardest.
A question to fellow Goodlife Members: Have you ever had instructors only do a partial part of the class during new release week? All the classes I’ve attended this week, the instructor has only done 5 or 6 of the new tracks, claiming they haven’t learned the whole thing yet. Is this normal? I personally have never seen this, but I guess I’m spoiled with a great group of instructors in Ottawa.
Despite being irritated, I did enjoy the chest track in the new release. Love me some “I Gotta Feeling” as it reminds me of one of the funnest (yes I said funnest!) weekends of my life!
There is a big hockey game on tonight, so I decided to play with the ingredients I had in my fridge to create some (healthier) pub grub.
Nachos made with Guiltless Gourmet, old cheddar, 1/4 avocado, old cheddar with a little chili for dipping.
You’ll notice its the exact same ingredients as last night, but presented differently. I loved these nachos. They took forever to eat, so I’m pleasantly full.
I will likely enjoy some of this later.
This is a small glass of Chapmans Mac Nut Frozen Yogurt. They have some amazing new flavours! Can’t wait to try it!
Until next time my friends.

As both a memeber and instructor in training...they ask that the instructors use half the new music the first week, and then use the entire release the week after (which is next week)...not sure the reasoning behind it (perhaps the give the instructors plenty of time to learn the new music?)
That's weird, we do all new stuff. We actually get emails saying that we must do all new release music for the next 2 weeks than we can change with the exception of flow and jam.
Sorry your instructor was not good...ruins the class.
That sucks about your instructor. Feels like a waste of your time when you have to work to do the class, and not work in the sense of a work out, but work to follow along.
How about those Habs? I was screaming. Cute Boy was screaming. Daisy dog was sitting under the kitchen table until the rowdy behaviour was over. Poor puppy! I'm glad the game is behind us.
Ugh - I absolutely HATE classes where the instructor doesn't stay with the music! Maybe it's the band geek in me, but if the instructor can't keep the rythm of the music it drives me NUTS and I won't take the class again! (For some reason, it annoys me the most in spinning.)
is that a shot glass??? :O)
Those nachos look SOOO tasty! Yumm!
Yeah it is kind of hard to enjoy class when the instructor is off-beat. Aerobics is kind of like dancing... so I would think that a beat would be required.
And your meal looked so delicious! I just want to hire you as a chef! I love Mexican food! :)
