So far today I have taught an aerobics class and done a 6k run for a PT session. I am just having a cup of coffee and a sit down before I get the kids tea then go and teach an hour of spinning and then an hour of gymnastics and flexibility.

My question to you lot is:

When I get home this evening what level will I have reached on my shaggedout-ometer?

I am anticipating reaching at least Crawl Through The Front Door level and am pretty sure Fall Asleep On The Sofa heights will be reached by 10pm.

Any guesses?

I WANT YOUR JOB. And I'll probably start training for it soon.

You can have it for the whole of today while I retire to my boudoir with a bottle of wine.

How many clients do you have lined up for me and do they mind if I hobble instead of run?

Can I wear a bikini?

Yes - the ladies will love you!

Something I've found a bit odd at my gym, is that given how many classes some of the instructors run, you really wouldn't guess it from their physique, obviously they could just be eating a lot, but is it naive of me to expect that people who work out 4-5 hours a day all week would be well shaped?

Fitness doesn't have that much to do with bodyshape.

Oh sure, obviously they must all be really fit, surely though all that exercise is a lot of calories being burnt though?

Not, as you already said, if they are eating junk food as well. Sad but true.

Cool, back on topic, how long does it take you to get used to this level of daily activity, is it actually possible to? Do you have to do much outside of your work to maintain your level of fitness, for example with that run earlier I guess as the PT you are expected to be able to do it more easily than your client? Similarly I guess with the classes, ie that hour you're doing spinning later you'll be expected to do the class like everyone else as well as having to give a running commentary of what's going on, coming up, other directions.

Slight tangent but I've noticed before when I do a full days softball tournament (9am - 6pm usually) it's all bursts of activity, sprinting, hitting, throwing, never enough to get your knackered outright, but you really know you did it the next day, odd.
