So much has happened since my latest update that I don’t really know where to begin. I turned 30 years old. I finally found that apartment I had been looking for. I was on vacation in Egypt when they decided to have their little revolution and overthrow their government.

But the big news here is that I am now a licensed Bodypump instructor and now work part-time as a group training instructor at one of the big mainstream gym chains here in Sweden. What originally started simply as a personal challenge has turned into a second career path.

Instructing has opened up a whole world of new interesting challenges for me. Learning the pre-queuing for a new release in one weeks time is only scratching the surface. Instructing involves so many things with which I have very limited experience with, such as acting. Big fluffy topics with seemingly infinite challenges and possibilities. And I have a long way to go before I can master even a fraction of all this. So I take it one small step at a time. Lately I have focused on musical interpretation and body language.

On the minus side I have been neglecting my strength training. Last time I went to the gym a couple weeks back I had lost about 10% of my strength in the 6-8RM range. I hope to get back on track soon enough though.
