My classes are starting to pick up a bit and balancing personal workouts with teaching is becoming more of an issue. EDT and working out fairly hard twice a day are out. It's just too much on my body (edit: actually EDT may be a part of everything I do now. Have to think about this). I now do the workout with my kettlebell classes most times. For example, today I led from the front and we did a killer 20:00 circuit workout:

20 deadlifts

20 swings 10L/10R

20 squats 10L/10R

20 high pulls 10L/10R

I was proud of my guys as they worked with the 16kg for most of the time. Good job, guys! I pushed myself a bit and keep up the pace as much as I could.

I do this for a number of reasons: I like to show I can do as well as teach, I provide visual ques and technique tips just by doing it with them, I get to feel the effects of the workouts I program (today's was a bit too back intensive, should have seen that), and me doing it with them gives clients motivation to do it themselves.

But then doing this twice a day or more is taxing so the personal workouts get cut sometimes (actually a lot lately). It's a little weird but then I like doing basics anyway so it still works.

As a "problem," it's a nice one to have. It's like the "problem" of choosing between Monica Belluci and Sophie Marceau. :) You win either way.
