Completely fed up with work, I decided to ditch academia to train as a fitness instructor, and joined the same course as FM. The pace of the classes was incredibly slow, largely because the tutor took a 15 minute break at the end of each exercise to go and wash her hair. A further disappointment was this woman’s poor cycling technique. I was appalled at her lack of expertise when demonstrating “wheel turns” up Arthur’s Seat, especially since she broke my mountain bike in the process.
