21 hours is not a working week!

Twenty-one hours is not a full working week!

We all want people to be more active, and good instructors create an active nation. We all have different incentives to exercise – from the scales creeping up to a tight waistband. But how realistic are we in setting goals for our classes?

I was enjoying a class - a class for me that I do not need to plan or remember what I am doing next - and the instructor told us, with a cheeky grin, that this exercise was preparing us for the summer…which summer, I asked? 2025?

The other class members giggled, but I was serious.
Summer (June 2024 ) is only 21 weeks away from today, 4th, January.

That’s 21 hours, assuming the class is an hour. 17.5 hours if the class is 50 minutes.

That isn’t a full working week!

But, if this summer is like previous summers, I may be happy with my winter body under my raincoat. In the meantime, I will enjoy my class for 'me' and be realistic in setting expectations for my classes. ​
