Special

I have been a teacher for a over 20 years and I have heard different success stories from students about how my class has impacted their life and it is simply the most amazing thing about being a teacher.  Since I started teaching Body Blitz, I have seen that at a more intimate level than ever before.  As the class progresses, there isn't one student who comes regularly where I do not see a change.  It's either weight loss or new muscles or overall tone or a new confidence in him/herself.  There is also the magic of the comradery and mutual respect among the class for committing to getting up very early in the morning and being on time to do a hard workout.  The commitment to their personal goals is just brilliant to witness.  Because I wanted to celebrate that with them, I decided to hold a photo shoot after this session.  I encouraged them to be more daring that they thought they would to show off their results.  To my pleasant and proud surprise, every girl who came was ready to bare her abs, arms, and shoulders for the photo.  Something else is that I set this up to be a group photo and simply offered individual shots to anyone who might want them.  Every girl did it.  This was an amazing day to celebrate a summer of hard work.  I could not be more proud.
