Can-Fit-Pro Certification C - Goal 1 Completed!

Ladies n' Gentleman I've officially completed the Can-Fit-Pro Certification C - CPR training on June 25th 2010 with Ona McDonald. It was great!

It was hands on and she was very informed on the subject. We discussed the situations in which CPR may be required such as:

• Choking
• Heart Attack and signs of a heart attack
• Stroke and signs of a stroke
• Unconsciousness
• Life threatening Diseases such as Diabetes

I also learnt that certain groups have higher chance of getting a heart attack such as:

• African American / Latin Groups
• Experiencing High Stress (lets say while watching FIFA soccer match, or Road Rage etc..)
• High Blood Pressure
• If you have a disease such as Diabetes
• Inactivity
• Inflamed Arteries
• Smoking
• Alcohol Consumption
• Drug Use
• Over exertion
• Stroke

If you remember any others you can add a comment on that

We did a lot of partnering up which was fun too. Like

• Doing 100 or more chest compressions to that John Travolta Staying Alive Song.
• We did mouth to mouth on crash test dummies for CPR practice
• We had to pretend that we were getting our partner to chuck out the food they just choked on
• Then she gave us real life scenarios to play out and use what we learnt like (car crash, baby choking, unconscious adult)

It was fun! She is a great teacher!

Even thought I had to drive more than 1hr to get there from Mississauga, Ontario to Unionville, it was worth it. I worked out in the gym a little bit before class and checked out Markville mall and did some shopping for some new Nike's. I'll tell you about those later.

So one goal down and 2 more to go. I gotta do my Zumba Gold training in July in Oakville Ontario, and then Zumba Basic 1 Training in Toronto at the Can-Fit-Pro Conference. I gotta make sure to bring some money so I can buy stuff while I'm there. See yas! Chao!

Can-Fit-Pro Certification C - CPR Status

Hey guys. So I called the toll free number on my confirmation page today and found that I wasn't supposed to receive anything in the mail after all. And to top it all off, I found that I don't have to take the exam. I just go to the course which is 5 hrs in length and I receive my certification after that. Badda Bing Badda Boom! Awesome! It's this friday in Markham so I'll let you know how it goes!

Zumba Gold Training July 18th - Sold Out!

Awesome! It's sold out..and do you know I just booked my spot last Thursday? I'm so happy about this. I was reading on the http://www.zumba.com/ website that if they don't get enough people, they would notify you a couple days before. So because it's sold out that means it's on baby!

I'll be Zumba Gold Certified on July 18th 2010 just before my birthday on July 22nd. What a great birthday gift. I'm looking into being able to teach Zumba Gold classes at a facility or something like this. I have some travelling and research to do on this.

Woo hoo! Listen to my play lists and ditch the workout and join the party!

Renee's Salad Dressing Rocks - Low Carb

I thought it would be fit to take a photo of Renee's Gourmet Salad dressing for you. It's awesome! I never ate a boring salad ever since I started Atkins, or a low carb way of eating using more natural foods.

Doesn't that salad look good? I'll tell you what's in it. Lettuce, cucumber, celery, broccoli, green onions, and a half a clove of garlic finely chopped. Yum! Garden salad sucks...but this rocks!

Add some olives and make it Greek! healthy, Low fat, and tons of rich in nutrients!

Can-Fit-Pro Certification C - Still nothing in mail

I'm a little confused on why I haven't received anything in the mail till now from Can-Fit-Pro for my CPR C certification on June 25th 2010 in Markham, Ontario. I'm expecting course materials for preparation. Maybe they'll mail them to me a few days before the course. I was reading up on it and I'll have an opportunity to take the exam after completing the course right after class I think. It's recommended on the website to take the exam 6 weeks after taking the course because it's 3hrs long. Wow!@ Reminds me of College again...

I'm hoping to take awesome notes and be very attentive during class and I just might give it a shot over class. As long as I understand the content, that's what's most important. It's pretty practical so we'll see about that.

Some Zumba fitness clubs require this in order to work for them such as Goodlife Fitness. I think this will be a good asset to go on my resume. I have to update that: I'm a belly dancing web designer who designs fashion clothing and loves to teach zumba fitness classes. That's me;)

I'll keep yawl up to date.
