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!

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.

Can-Fit-Pro - Certification C Asset

Can-Fit-Pro

Well! By the end of June 2010 I'll be an official member of Can-Fit-Pro Certification C. That means for one full year I'll be certified to perform CPR on adults, and children. The main reason I applied was to qualify for the discount with the Zumba Instructor Training but ended up paying double when I was trying to save money. But you know what? I didn't care. I wanted to get that spot and I had the money and paid for it.

Zumba Basics 1 Training in Toronto August 12th 2010 is still not sold out but I expect it to be. I mean, come on - Toronto? I wouldn't be surprised if it were sold out by the end of the month. How many spots are there anyway? I'm so excited we're going off topic here.

Now, about the Certification C with Can-Fit-Pro - It involves taking a course and and exam. OMG! It only reminds me of my college years again...I'll try not to cram this time and lose sleep the night before. Another benefit of having this certification is that some training facilities require it so you can qualify to work there.

Wish me luck!

I'm looking forward to working at a job I'll actually love!
