AFAA Certification

It's official.....I'm an AFAA certified group fitness instructor. My certification arrived in the mail this week. Actually, it's probably been there...that's how long it's been since I've picked up mail.
Since many probably don't know, I recently purchased a Stroller Strides franchise here in Okinawa. I've been attending classes since February and absolutely love it! It's a great workout, my running and endurance have improved and the best part is, I get to take Irina to class with me. She loves singing the songs and visiting with all the kids and mommies. She even puts her dolls in their stroller to 'take them to exercise to see their friends' and then runs around the house.
Now that I'm instructing classes, she mimics me. I walked into the living room the other day to find her hooking up a resistance band to her bouncy horse. She proceeds to do some bicep curls and then says "OK ladies, wrap it up..we're going to our next station". It was hysterical...too bad I didn't have the camera on me.
Robert gets to work out with me on the weekends to review the classes I've come up with. Irina loves running around the base and getting out of the stroller to do her exercises. This has been a great new adventure for me...for all of us.
