You'd be an awesome instructor.

I *SO* needed to read this today. ...Oh Gosh Robin! I *SO* needed to read this today. I signed up (and paid a bunch of money) to take a kettlebell instructor certification and then I went to class today and couldn't get certain basic movements right. Doing kettlebells was a stretch for me when I started, I have left tears and sweat on the floor of that gym, but I have gotten so much better. All my old fears and tapes in my head came back to me today saying that I suck at physical stuff, I've always been so uncoordinated, etc etc. I was freaking out. You have helped me feel better and now I am going to e-mail my trainer and ask for a private lesson to get ready for the HKC. And try not to freak out. Thanks so much Robin! You have always been so inspiring to me.Nirinjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683095873349972677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27813428.post-88107002841480572382011-05-10T07:57:03.211-07:002011-05-10T07:57:03.211-07:00Liz, I didn't know he was taking Crossfit now....Liz, I didn't know he was taking Crossfit now. That is so cool! In general, Crossfit is very supportive of working with everyone exactly where they're at. It's one thing that's really great about Crossfit.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297237900094898777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27813428.post-40542376542408326122011-05-10T06:01:54.113-07:002011-05-10T06:01:54.113-07:00that the power of incremental change can occur for...that the power of incremental change can occur for everyone. That doesn't just mean the athletically gifted, or those that things come easily for. That means everyone.<br /><br />We are so "on the same page" here Robin.

To earn his (required) swimming merit badge, he pushed himself through eighteen months of lessons, even though he would never be a fast swimmer. Then he took taekwondo, advancing eight belts. At this very moment, he's in Crossfit, where he's the youngest guy in the gym. The instructors are awesome...they work with all ages, levels, and capabilities. They love my son, he loves them, and he is immeasurably proud of his abilities.<br /><br />Long story short...go for it.
