I am an exercise enthusiast!  I exercise 1-2 hours a day, 6 days a week.  I feel good about my exercise routine because I know I am taking a positive step towards a healthier lifestyle which benefits myself as well as every individual I come in contact with.   After exercising I feel great and energized!  I would like the opportunity to make a difference and influence other people's health and fitness more directly.  So I am applying to become an aqua instructor through fitnessprotravel. It feels incredible to be healthy!  Leading others in a fitness class would be a challenge and responsibility, but the results and impact that I can make on individuals could be amazing. 

My passion that has endured the longest is Aqua.  I grew up loving the water.  At a young age, I took swim lessons which progressed to summer swim teams, which lead to high school swimming and still continues today with taking water aerobics classes and lap swimming.  Water fitness classes are for all ages and varying fitness conditions.  The forgiving water environment is effective and enjoyable. My passion for water flows down to my children.  My 6 and 9-year-old boys swim on the summer swim team.  The entire family was dedicated to daily swim practices once or twice a day and weekly swim meets.

As an aquatics instructor, I would lead a challenging, fun, and safe aquatic group exercise class.  I am prepared to choreograph exercise sessions to include a warm-up, aerobic exercise, toning, balance, cool down and stretch.  I have excellent verbal communication skills, and I am able to effectively explain and demonstrate proper technique for each individual exercise both in and out of water. If any student is executing a movement incorrectly I am able to identify the problem and correct it.  I suit the needs of the general population, but I can customize exercises for participants with medical needs.

At my home gyms, I have an excellent rapport with members and staff.  Building friendships is important when we see each other daily practicing our passions.

I look forward to an opportunity to serve as an Aqua Instructor
