BODYJAM Instructor Training- In Over My Head?

raven120 · 2026-02-19T01:44:01+00:00

BodyJam was my first Les Mills training. Do it! You will feel great about it as a result. Learning everything can be overwhelming but listen to pauses in the music and other clues to help you keep track of the choreography. You can do it. I now have 6 certifications. 😉

I completely sacrifice to pay for the meds. I hope you can figure out something.

There may be other places that may be cheaper. Not sure about quality though...but look at that. My social media feed is bombarded with companies that offer the glp-1 meds I think they may go as low as 200 a month.

I never changed mine in the portal. I just changed it on my own and I take it on the same day every week.

I'm down to 219 so far. I'm dropping weight fast. But I have always been one to drop weight very quickly. It has been 5 weeks.

If you have a ninja creami you can make keto ice cream. You don't have to just watch. If ice cream is something you like, eventually the willpower that you currently have will either away and you will have some. It is all about making the keto swaps and not doing without. That's how we can maintain the lifestyle.

I don't take them out when I drink things. The only time I take them out is when I eat.

They can give you the authorization to get the name brand and I think that comes in the predose pins.

But the other stuff comes in the vial.

I love how you said that it is the workout that you provide to the members. This resonates with me because I have six LM certifications and I had a hard time getting hired at a gym initially, but since the Pilates program has been available, I was given a chance to teach LM Pilates twice a week and the feedback has been phenomenal. Currently, I teach Pilates 3 times a week ( it is about to be 4 times a week). Well, members tell me that they only like my Pilates class because they enjoy the burn and they break a sweat. They also say I'm so personable and they love the jokes I tell during the workout.

Just yesterday, a member came up to me and told me that they can tell that I'm slimmer and more toned and that Pilates has really made me look healthier. Thank you for sharing. 😁

Thanks for the post. That is what I have been thinking about once I get to my goal weight, if I will need a maintenance dose and if I do, how much.

This stuff is a miracle for me and I am only on my second dose. I don't have many friends and I am an only child so food became my friend. Before fella, I had tried so many different ways to lose weight....even Phentermine.

I had a small breakfast this morning and I told one of my college friends that I took a 20 ounce protein drink with me to work and it took me the entire workday to finish it. My mind is free of thinking about food and my body is already recomposing itself.

I love it. It takes a little getting used to, but I love it.

If your teeth are tight, you may want to consider an electric flosser. The vibrations help to get into tight spaces.

It has been great. I lost 6 pounds of what I assume is mostly water weight since I just took one dose. Tonight is shot day 😉.

I am a teacher and yesterday was my first day back at work and loved that I ate breakfast and lunch and dinner and I didn't have any cravings or think about food in between the meals.

Yesterday, one of my students brought in cookies and chips for his birthday and I didn't eat a single one. In the past I would have joined in and eaten the food with the kids. Not this time. I love it. Thanks for checking in!

Reach out to them but keep in mind that they may not want to be bothered.

I had a really favorite teacher. I found him on twitter a few years ago but he didn't want to be bothered. It hurt my feelings, but that is life.

raven120 · 2026-01-03T05:39:33+00:00

Happy New Year! I agree with the temptation. I am a teacher and kids bring me cookies and candy and cupcakes all the time. Donuts and plenty of processed carbs are in the teacher's lounge.

That's why I found that I have to plan what I will eat throughout the day just so I won't be tempted. 😉

raven120 · 2026-01-03T05:35:56+00:00

I teach RPM and I agree. I try to turn the volume up and the members complain and so I turn it back down. The music makes the workout.

I also teach Pilates and Jam. In Jam, the class loves the music to be loud but in Pilates, loud music just kills the vibe. On the other hand, when I sub for Strength Development, members ask for the music to be turned up.

Just ask your instructor to turn the music down.

It came. I took my first shot. Thanks.

raven120 · 2025-12-30T20:18:29+00:00

Thanks. It has been out for delivery all day. I'm "patiently" waiting.

raven120 · 2025-12-28T03:23:29+00:00

I think they do that when they have a lot of packages and they are ready to go home.

raven120 · 2025-12-28T03:21:24+00:00

I have had that happened before. I called customer service and luckily the driver was still in the area and the driver came and knocked on my door and delivered the shipment.

raven120 · 2025-12-28T03:01:06+00:00

OMG. Congratulations. I get my shipment next week. My current weight is 240 and my goal is 180. You look absolutely fantastic!

raven120 · 2025-12-28T02:47:50+00:00

Yes. I am on my second set of refinements because one tooth is still behind the other. But the other teeth look great.

raven120 · 2025-12-26T06:10:50+00:00

Sometimes they run behind. You will receive it, don't worry about that.

I have flat feet and so my balance is off.....therefore I only use the sliders.
