Group Fitness Instructors can learn about teaching classes and purchasing Insurance
It’s just hard to even imagine…us, get injured? We, the instructor? No, it can’t happen! We don’t feel pain, let alone do anything that would hurt us. (We only inflict pain, right?) I first met Chris Freytag in an article she wrote for ACE Certified News about injury prevention and recovery. She had just hurt her hamstring and wrote about it with humor and humility. I laughed out loud as I read the article because I was icing my own hamstring as I read it. Chris is a busy girl (visit her website, www.chrisfreytag.com) and I had a great time meeting her in person and talking with her about how we can prevent injuring ourselves and what to do if we still “pull a little something”.

They didn’t need them 
I received an e mail from Pru, a listener in the UK, asking me to do an interview about advice for new instructors or “newbies” as she said. What a great idea! And I had just the person to talk with. Katie Haggerty joins me and we cover all kinds of “I wish I would have known that when I started teaching” kinds of things, along with many hints, tips and suggestions as you start your teaching careers.  Katie is the Group Fitness Department Head for two Life Time Fitness Clubs in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area so she helps a lot of new instructors get confident in teaching safe, effective and fun group fitness classes. Enjoy!
