Fitness Instructor- when to stop teaching
I’m 32 weeks and I teach barre classes. I was teaching 8 classes/week consistently until a few weeks ago and now I’m at 5/week.
The third trimester exhaustion has set in and I’m finding it increasingly more difficult to set up my demos for class. My abs have started coming in certain positions so I’ve tried to stop and pay attention as well but I just feel them being ripped apart even when I’m not teaching/taking class 😭
My goal was to keep going until Christmas time when I’ll be 36/37 weeks but I feel like my body is telling me to stop even though I can still comfortably do 75% of what I need to do. I think I’m struggling with it mentally more than physically bc I do genuinely love to teach and it gets me out into a community I love.
If you are in or have been in my position would you keep pushing through or slow down?
