| Jiggling the fat away. Gotta love the outfits too! |
Sometimes Linda wonders how much longer she'll be teaching group-x classes. Back in the day (30 years ago) she started teaching a stretching class at the gym she belonged to. The instructor was going on vacation and since she was the most flexible one in class, the lady asked her to teach it while the she was gone. Linda did such a good job, that she ended up replacing the instructor and her aerobic teaching career was born. (There were way different standards then. She had to have her body fat tested and be under a certain number and had to run a mile in under 12 minutes to keep teaching!) When she was a teenager, she taught dance classes at the local studio where she lived, so she's basically been teaching for her whole adult life! One of her favorite classes to teach is her Senior Active Older Adults. When she took the class over, every single one of them was sitting in a chair during parts of the class. Now, all but a few (who have had surgery and are recovering) don't even set up a chair! It's wonderful for Linda to see their improvement. Maybe she'll just keep teaching as long as this Bradenton, Florida women. She is 90 and still teaching at the YMCA! Way to go Pat!!
