Tips and Advice
How To Approach Your First Three Classes
It is good to attend your first couple of classes with the simple objective of learning the movements, the class format and the basic terminology used. Try not to concentrate so much on the quality of your workout; that will come later as you become more familiar with the movements.
In your first three classes, simply concentrate on the names and objectives of the moves. Foot placement is one of the key things to learn so that you step safely. We advise you to concentrate on footwork and leave out any arm movements. You can later add arm exercises into your workout. The instructor will be facing you, so if that creates any confusion at any time, keep your eyes on the feet of the people in front of you.
Arrive Early
It is important to arrive 15 minutes before class to
meet the instructor. During these 15 minutes, the
instructor will ensure that you are comfortable
during your first class and answer any questions you may have. The instructor will ask you such
questions as:
- Have you ever exercised?
- Have you ever participated in group fitness?
- Have you ever done any step-based workouts?
- Do you have any injuries or problems that might affect your ability to participate?
Where To Stand
The best place to stand is within clear view of the
instructor. It is not necessary to be at the front, but
try to be in the center of the room.
It is important to avoid mirrors and to concentrate on the instructor. He or she is the best source of visual technique information. Mirrors are distracting and sometimes relay unnecessary information. Mirrors might tell you that you look silly doing the moves, even though you might really be having fun. So please ignore them!
Talk to the Instructor After ClassRemember to talk to the instructor after class. For example, let him or her know how you felt and if anything was particularly challenging for you. The instructor will then make recommendations for your next class.
