Yesterday I did have Crossfit booked but took the chance to pop into the gym in the next town. I was after a tour and maybe a free 'boxing fitness' class, and got both! So I was pretty chuffed to try out the class. It was a very good class, and was great to meet another instructor and 100% steal ideas from her
In the evening it was time for my class. I knew it would be busy and again with beginners, so this time I made sure to be well-organised. I turned up early, moved some tables, got my paperwork all ready and wrote down a class plan. 13 turned up in the end, and I'm well happy with that, class went well. Unfortunately I had two women turn up, similar ages, similar hair colour similar build and height, both names started with K. You can see where this is going... I'm not 100% sure which name goes with which person, unfortunately! Also two of the regulars are twins and I mistook one for the other. Minor cringe but they get it all the time. That was an avoidable mistake though as they have slightly different colour hair.
I've done really well with names overall, which is something I've really had to work on. My social skills are a bit hit and miss you could say, but I try. As I said to a friend who I have 20 years on the other day on the topic of his social struggles 'I'm just the same as you, I've just had more time to practice!'
Crossfits today. Was skipping, which I really struggle with. My singles are getting pretty decent but the goal is double unders, where the rope spins twice in one jump. Honestly quite a pointless skill, doesn't lead anywhere and yeah that is sour grapes for sure. I am interested in some skipping skills though, just maybe not that one, yet. There's a lot of fancy things that boxers do when skipping, and I feel like as a Boxercise instructor, I should somehow be decent at skipping. But so far, I'm not. At all.
