The truth is that just because you get your kicks out of exercise, doesn't necessarily mean that you are superman or superwoman. It simply means that you have practiced and have been consistent enough in your exercise that you are simply used to how it goes. You also know that when you get too used to something, you are not putting forth your full effort or stamina and therefore it can drain you class as well. The next best thing would be to amp it up, mix up your routine and hunt for some fresh music and moves.
I prefer mostly Latin Zumba, so sometimes it's hard for me to choreograph to the latest and greatest pop music but I still try to keep it current. And when I am feeling tired, I try to remember what my personal goals are and how much I really want my class to feel the song or choreos that I am teaching. When I visualize what I want the class, including myself, overall to accomplish then I am more focused and able to maintain my energy. Even on days where I may be feeling slightly under the weather, I carry that attitude with me and I also tell myself, it is only an hour and that goes by really quick.
In short, in any type of fitness instructing, it is important to remember that you are there for your class and they look to you for inspiration so show them what the Z life is all about...happiness, good times, and health.
Keep on dancing!
