CPR Dummies


Today I got certified for the first time for Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). I am hoping to become a spin class instructor, and in order to become one I have to be certified to teach spin classes and certified in CPR. I'm half way there after pushing, breathing, and heimliching the dummies. Dummies are fun and easy to work with, but they are set up to help with CPR unlike humans. While I do now feel confident in my abilities related to CPR, I hope that I never have to use them on anyone. However, should the need arise, I will be ready now. It had been since high school that I did anything with CPR, and I'm glad I'm up to date now.


On an unrelated note, my brother (Barrett) took a picture of me while we were riding yesterday and I thought it would be cool to share. That's the reason for the picture above. :-)

just remember this about your chest compressions-if you ain't breaking ribs, you ain't pumping hard enough!
