Training, waiting

I took two two-hour training classes at the gym this weekend. Sunday's was supposed to be two four-hour classes, but the teacher compressed it all into two hours. Fine with me; I still get eight continuing education credits toward my fitness certification, plus the gym paid me for my time.

The classes were circuit, or interval, training on Saturday, and resistance training, upper and lower body, using body bands. I can't say I learned much. I got a few ideas with the body to incorporate into the ab portion of step class.

I'll have another class, about preventing child abuse, on Saturday. Then I get a break from training until January. I'll probably be putting in extra hours at the gym, though. I volunteered to help the fitness center up, plus teach part of the Work Out before You Pig Out class, Thanksgiving week.

Otherwise, I'm just waiting for the madness that will be the general election to start on Tuesday. I always say early the next day after an election, “It's all over but the shouting.” This election, there will be a lot of shouting, probably for days or even weeks.
