job offer!! aka: one big step closer to Colorado

got a call today from the fitness director at the 24-Hour Fitness in Littleton Colorado, and now less than 10 hours later, i have a flight booked to go out there. i still need to check out the gym itself and the apartment ive been looking at in the area, as well as my school options for the next year or two, but im pretty much signed up already. as far as big gyms go, it seems like 24-Hour has the best set up by far for personal trainers, and im really excited to here all the details and see who ill be working with (assuming the job goes through: i dont even have a solid offer yet). the woman i talked to said she wanted someone whos passionate about fitness and has a lot of energy. -ANYONE thats spent any amount of time with me would have to rank passion and energy as my top two traits, either that or theyd say obnoxious and elitist if they arent open to fitness ideas. either way, im really excited about this job opportunity, despite the fact that i absolutely love my current job! the truth of the matter i suppose is that as long as there isnt drama in my workplace, and as long as i know that my hard work is noticed, i would love any job in the fitness industry. from equipment sales to gym maintenance to management, feeling like im helping other people get the most out of there bodies really is my number one priority. -that sounds like a sales speech, but its true.

i feel my age is my biggest weakness when it comes to training. people dont want a 19-year-old kid telling them what to do. the way i see it, choosing a trainer is like choosing a doctor: you can go with a young one with all the most recent information, or you can go with the older one with possibly outdated information but loads of invaluable experience and wisdom... thats gona be my next poll i think.

more thoughts later, but heres todays workouts, very simple, but not very easy at all:
-midday
>8 miles dragging the tire (18lbs)
-night
>50 bodyweight("air") squats to warm up
>200 single-leg, leg extensions (alternating each 20 for a total of 100 each leg)
