As an instructor myself, the more complicated the choreography, the harder it is to break down and cue, especially in right foot/left foot verbage. In this phase, the learning process is mostly visual - the more you watch it and practice it, the easier it becomes. One very important factor...

I love CardioFusion. With any workout, what you put into it is what you get out of it. I see some very lazy steppers/workers in classes I teach (Sloppy arm movements, slouchy shoulders, no full range of motion in movement both on an off the step) who complain class wasn't hard enough. I can't...

There is really a lot of diversity to the 4DS series. Today I did all of the Boot Camp drills (my dog loves to get in on the suicide runs!) followed by double cardio. Whew! My legs are feeling heavy and I have to teach three classes tomorrow. I found Boot Camp very easy to do in my small...

First of all, I just received 4 day split this week and really love the diversity! I teach a morning Boot Camp class and the drills are just what is needed to start spicing things up. High Intensity Step really got my creative juices flowing. Love the crazy crosswalk! And just a few weeks...

As an instructor myself, on many occassions when I give right/left cues my brain freezes and I end up cuing the wrong foot, which in turn fumbles up participants. I have found that not using right/left cues and either patting the lead leg or raising the arm of the foot that will lead (as Cathe...
