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.

Farida Dancer takes the Zumba Gold

I did it! I registered for Oakville's Zumba Gold Training. I don't know why I didn't consider this sooner because this will allow me to become a certified member even faster. Before I was just seeing it as that I would probably not be teaching Zumba Gold classes instead of looking at it as getting on the official ZIN network much faster.

Guess what! Did some shopping today for some Zumbawear at www.zumba.com and bought their new bubble shirt and a few other things. I'm proud to wear that Zumba logo so I even bought the coin bag for $5 bucks. Shipping to canada was 20 bucks anyway so it wouldn't have made a difference in the shipping cost anyway. So far I purchased 2 tops and a pair of hot pink Zumba capris tights. I really want the shoes too but on their website they only have it available in a size 6 and I'd need a 7.5. OMG guys, this is really happening! I'm feeling scared and excited at the same time.

See ya next post!

Zumbaworkoutscanada.com

I'm having lots of fun creating a website with yahoo. It's nice to get into a new thing. I've gotten myself into a lot of things but nothing really clicked yet.

• Sheridan to become a systems analyst - 2 out of 3 years completed
• Extra sales training as aimed for inside sales jobs - where no doesn't really mean no;)
• Web, Graphic Design & SEO Experience through self learning
• Fashion Construction & Design at George Brown College
• Oh yeah, Beginner and Intermediate Courses in Belly Dancing ;)
• And now Fitness Class Instructor and A Zumba Soul brought me to this point:)

I've been saying lately that it would be nice to have a career that I'd actually love doing. I like to inspire people and to make lives better. It's surely icing on the cake when it involves dancing because I love to dance. Maybe this is the silver bullet venue I needed. If you have any suggestions about the website let me know. http://www.zumbaworkoutscanada.com/

What is a Zumba Soul?

The Zumba Soul

It is a soul that laughs, smiles after being invigorated by taking a zumba workout class near you. Allow a zumba workout release good endorphins into your body as you continue your day. Zumba is not about working out. It's about having fun around great music and as an added perk, you lose weight the more often you do it. To do zumba you don't need to come with a positive attitude because that attitude comes right to you during your sessions so that you leave an invigorated soul.

My name is Farida, and I am in the process of becoming a Certified Zumba Workout Class Instructor - And I look forward to sharing my dance talents with you all. My thanks go to everyone who encouraged me to take this step. My specialties are Belly dancing, Batchata to work the abs, Salsa!, Reggaeton, Reggae, Merengue, Mambo and of course to get you to learn a sexier Cha Cha Cha.
