I love fitness and have over 25 years in the industry. I began with Jazzercise, and progressed as the industry itself expanded. The fitness industry and knowledge required to prepare and execute a safe and effective class is constantly changing. I keep abreast of changes by educating myself on the current trends and changes taking place in the industry. Participants have consisted of young people as well as senior citizens, all attending a variety of classes with different fitness levels. Therefore, I educate the participants by advising them of the different intensities possible by displaying what I refer to as tell, show (visual), do. First I “tell” the group what we are going to do, then I “show” the participants; displaying beginning, intermediate and advanced techniques, then each participant can choose rather or not to “do” it. One size does not fit all in Fitness but keeping it FUN is essential to continuance!
