1/🧵
Being a fitness class instructor is kinda awesome, especially with great colleagues.
Wednesday I got a message from another fitness class instructor that she were feeling unwell, unsure if ill or just stress. Reluctantly I agreed to stand ready to substitute for her class the next day. The next day got confirmation from her that she was ill. But not ill enough and that she really needed her class to get stress out of her system.

Felt quickly that despite she acknowledging that the healthy option would be rest she wouldn't take it. Because sometimes just just need the dance!
So that afternoon text messages flew as we (way too) quickly planned a combo class with individual blocks. She do one part, then tag me in and I do one part, and repeat. During afternoon break I stole a computer to be able to do my playlist and sent it her way.

Then we just did the class playing off each others energy and had a great time. And the participants felt so as well. Managed to do a great meld with her having a bunch of her slower dance routines to keep from overexerting. Me putting together a standing balance/stability block and a floor based core strength/stability. It paired remarkably well with basically zero coordination.
And then awesomeness for being there for eachother.
