I had to smile the other evening when one of my clients asked me with a puzzled look, “Coop, do you even have a job?”
She mentioned this because we share activity information via the Apple Watch. She was working away at her 10-hour shift and kept seeing my activity alerts.
“Stephen just finished a strength workout. Stephen just finished a stretching workout. Stephen just finished a hike. Stephen just finished a yoga workout.” I did happen to be “competing” with someone on the Apple Watch, so this day was more than my typical day of exercise.
I’m a pretty private person. Maybe not such a great idea in this day and age of social media, but it’s the real me, and my true nature.
I’m going to share a what my a day in my “job” is like :)
For the weekend of July 9 - July 11, I attended the IDEA World Virtual Fitness Conference. I typically attend this conference in person, but because of COVID-19, it was virtual again this year. I receive some of my CEC units and the latest in health, fitness, and nutrition.
Next weekend I’ll be attending this event.
On the weekends I usually walk, hike and stretch, but rarely lift.
