Is tomorrow going to be any more restful?

Only without the tan and the booze.

Um, thursday (I appear to be at What Day Of The Week Are We On? level at the mo) I have *roots in diary* a trapeze lesson in the morning (where I am learning not teaching! Hurrah! I can rest my brain!) and then Circuits (easy peasy - just shouting) then Flex N Fit which is a Bodypump type class, so yes, thank god, it's easier! Phew!

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.

The tan I can understand given your location but the booze? That's surely in abundance there.

Enjoy your easier day tomorrow hopefully.

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.

No boozes in my house.

It's been fun today! Knackering but fun!

This level isn't normal for me. There's a definite inclination to burn out in this field of work and you have to try and make sure you pace yourself. I'll be making sure I don't do a class before my PT run next time as I didn't have anywhere near my usual energy to push myself today.

A good instructor can teach a class by just voicing instructions and using the occasional demo. It's a skill you have to develop to avoid the dreaded burn out. I get all I need fitness wise from my classes - if I have energy to burn I whack it up a notch at work. I do do sessions alone sometimes to develop certain skills but finding time to fit that in with work and also giving yourself rest time is often tricky.
