It is an essential part of most group exercise classes, and it is becoming a new trend for personal trainers to create music lists for their clients to workout to and keep them motivated. “Set the Tone” will help you understand how to effectively use music as a tool in a group exercise/personal training setting. This workshop will give you a basic understanding of the structure of music, rhythm and BPMS. We will cover topics that will address not only the technical aspects of music but the emotional, as well. You will learn how to build musical profiles for your aerobics (hi-low, low impact), spinning, dance, cardio kickboxing, conditioning classes or any type of group exercise class. All That and A Bag of Chips Instructor Skill Training for the Next Level with Carol Scott Session 2 3:30 – 5:00pm Learning how to put together the perfect class, from exercise progression and class design to working with the music to when and how to cue; this session will hone your teaching skills to enable you to seamlessly teach the perfect class. Learn when to progress, how to transition, move from basic to complex movements, what to include in your warm up to insure successful movement later in class and add the elements of style and personality to make it your own. All that and more... become the instructor you’ve always dreamed of! |
