Plan out your first step and shortly thereafter you'll reap the benefits of you planning, efforts and hard work! </span></div><div><br /></div><div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>Want to chat? </b></span></div><div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>You can also find me here: </b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.danajillbeefit.com" target="_blank">DJBF Web Site</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/zumbawithdana23" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/danajillbeefit" target="_blank">Instagram </a><br /><a href="mailto:danajillbeefit@hotmail.com" target="_blank">Email</a> </span></div></div></div><p></p><p></p>TheZBeathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12482549326243466863noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750930378327435834.post-51858407827736585182021-07-12T15:22:00.007-04:002021-07-12T15:26:33.645-04:00Monday Mornings Always Arrive <p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So this morning I followed my own advice. I put everything by the back door to prepare for my workout this morning. I was teaching class at 6AM which is my earliest class. I usually start at 6:30AM and let me tell you, that extra 30 minutes of shut eye REALLY DOES MATTER. For me to get out of the house unnoticed with three dogs and three kids, I need to carefully prepare every step including accounting for every floor creek at 0-dark-0-clock in the morning. I tiptoed downstairs with my contact lenses, toothbrush and ponytail holder in hand, and met all of my clothes, water bottle, wallet, phone, shoes and stereo wires by the back door. I got dressed, quietly opened the back door and slipped out. SUCCESS! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I got in the car, turned on my very loud engine, backed out of the driveway and thought to myself, "I must be really tired because things looked very blurry". I blinked a few times, took a couple of sips of water to ensure my alertness and came to the conclusion that I FORGOT TO PUT MY CONTACTS IN and I couldn't see. Literally. I couldn't see. I put my car back into drive and shimmied back into the driveway. I had to re-open the door without disrupting the dogs and had to find my contacts. Luckily they were by the back door for me to easily access. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPc53iAGFWLxYLD6cCe7Y_fKxLW8o6lUWZxm8mWBwSNy6BfVupZUu91DxkWggZludC2-ItyXpWmsP-J4Z2NqRuwLd8tOQjgBLf3BVESX8XpCpwY2ePjl0Ff12X51uhCg4yT01UhWD6XeI/s2048/1.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPc53iAGFWLxYLD6cCe7Y_fKxLW8o6lUWZxm8mWBwSNy6BfVupZUu91DxkWggZludC2-ItyXpWmsP-J4Z2NqRuwLd8tOQjgBLf3BVESX8XpCpwY2ePjl0Ff12X51uhCg4yT01UhWD6XeI/s320/1.png" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">By now you are probably wondering why I am telling you this and what my point is. My point is that <b>even when you plan, plan that things won't go according to plan</b>. If this past year taught us anything, it is to be flexible, nimble and accommodating to change. DO NOT LET THAT DISCOURAGE YOU! <b>Today is your #magicmonday whether you can see it or not. </b>Read that again. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">What? How powerful is that? Today may be your #magicmonday whether you can see it or not. Things may happen today: good, bad, ugly, big, small, inconsequential which require some additional processing to help you understand what the message truly means and where you should go next. You know the old adage, "When one door closes, another one opens", that is one I can stand behind. Here are a few helpful tips (related to fitness today) that may help inspire you. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I walked into class this morning not knowing what to expect. So I came prepared with various class profiles in mind, various set lists and some strategies to engage new participants. I was not afraid to ask what their expectations were. Feedback is invaluable! So when <b>you</b> enter the gym, or a group fitness room...</span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Try your best to drop your preconceived notions, and <b>open yourself up to the possibility </b>that you may experience something (good or bad) that will help shape your future fitness adventures.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>Be prepared!</b> You may find there is a substitute teaching the class, or something unexpected happens. Be prepared to shift your focus on the workout you will be getting, the amazing benefits you will feel, and less on the change of your expectations. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>Communicate with the instructor and the people around you! </b>You never know what you will learn, or the connections you will make by simply smiling, introducing yourself, or asking a question. I guarantee the other people in the room want to get to know you! </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>Learn to shine wherever you are!</b> Gym time is your time. Almost every other part of your day is accounted for in terms of responsibility and obligations. The ONLY thing that matters when you enter your workout is YOU and YOUR TIME. </span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>Want to chat? </b></span></div><div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>You can also find me here: </b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.danajillbeefit.com" target="_blank">DJBF Web Site</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/zumbawithdana23" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/danajillbeefit" target="_blank">Instagram </a><br /><a href="mailto:danajillbeefit@hotmail.com" target="_blank">Email</a> </span></div></div><p></p>TheZBeathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12482549326243466863noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750930378327435834.post-31341716461705714782021-07-11T20:05:00.005-04:002021-07-11T20:06:48.027-04:00Working Out Post COVID....Now What?<p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Working out is hard enough. Sticking to a plan is even more difficult. We have all heard it before, "Do something for 21 days and it will become a habit". I am not 100% sure I buy into that theory. But what I do believe is if you can commit to at least starting somewhere, the second step will be easier than the first. Scientifically, studies show that even after just 30 minutes of exercise your body will release endorphins. When your body releases endorphins a.k.a. tiny hope molecules you will experience feelings of happiness. Physically, when you start exercising your body produces antibodies and white blood cells which will boost your immune system. Socially, you will likely connect with other like-minded gym g0-ers that I lovingly refer to as the #fitfam. Sooner rather than later, and after some trial and error, you will find the right exercise that works for you. You'll pinpoint the perfect time during your day to get your workout in. Ultimately, you'll connect with an instructor that just gets you, motivates and inspires you. When all of those dots connect, this task of starting exercise will no longer feel daunting and scary. It will truly become part of your DNA. Exercise will be intertwined into your lifestyle. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I am a fitness instructor. Popular to contrary belief, exercise is a relatively new chapter in my life. We will call it Part 2. Before I started my own personal journey, I never worked out. (Read that again). I NEVER WORKED OUT. I joined gyms, paid for them and never went. I purchased gym clothes and gym bags that sat piled up and collected dust in my house. I bought VHS tapes, then DVDs and even bought equipment that eventually was left untouched. I felt bad about myself and hated the cyclical pattern of failure. I used to tell myself EVERY EXCUSE under the sun to avoid hitting the gym. When I did hit the gym, I would walk in. Walk around. Get on the bike or treadmill. Lift a few weights. Stare at everyone that looked so fit and then I would leave. I felt unaccomplished, unfulfilled, and felt like I was wasting my time. My intention for telling you the above is because I want you, the amazing person reading this article to know that I understand what you are experiencing. I am not a talking head. I have decades of falling off the wagon under my belt and subsequently, I have a decade of a rewarding, amazing, fulfilling, life-changing journey under my belt that has shaped me into the person I am today. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Today not a day goes by where I don't do something active. I either teach a class, take a class as a participant or do something as simple as taking a walk or riding a bike. Exercise does not need to be extravagant. It does not need to be flashy. It can be as little or as much as you want it to be. Try reshaping the way you think about exercise. The whole world has changed post COVID and you have a life-changing opportunity to take the first step towards a more healthier you. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">If I can offer some advice to get you started, it would be these key <b>emotional</b> <b>strategies</b> Keep reading...</span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>Be patient and forgiving towards yourself</b>. YOU are your worst critic. Treat yourself with respect and sensitivity.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>Set realistic expectations.</b> I cringe when I hear people say "I wanted to lose 10 pounds in a month". WHY? Set expectations that are manageable and achievable. Set yourself up for success. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>Find what works for you.</b> You will NOT love every exercise that you try. Test the waters and see what feels right for you, Allow yourself the opportunity to explore all of your options. I guarantee that when you find what works for you, you will KNOW IT.</span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Now onto <b>tactical strategies</b>. </span></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>Prepare for Your Workout:</b> Pack your gym back the night before. Have everything you need in one centralized location (preferably by the front door).</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>Share Your News:</b> Find someone you can be accountable for. Announce to your BFF, or on social media that you are starting your workout routine. Whether it is the first time you are starting or the 100th time. Tell someone. Know you are making your self accountable.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>Sign Up for a Class: </b>Post COVID days have arrived, and a reservation is required at many facilities. This is GREAT news! In many cases you are required to go, or you will be penalized with a cancellation fee.</span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I will be the first person to tell you that if you truly aren't ready, the aforementioned emotional and tactical strategies just won't work. I encourage you to do the work required to identify your apprehensions, rid yourself of your self imposed boundaries and really figure out why you want to incorporate fitness into your life. Once you can identify your <b>motivating factor</b>, you will have something to lean on, fall back on and work towards. Fitness motivation can mean different things for<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOmChbCje-TLR8CYPKiGLgIVOUIEX9_SOHxd1yP5JT2Ey3_CToCgrDLUFupldlTypv_c5figY5ByNYu3qyijB3NoKjzh2e5LYB69YprDMsLZuqgjUfAp9yekp-CCp52mLUsJHg0Qvs1uM/s1080/Violet+Red+Yellow+Gym+Motivational+Words+Instagram+Post.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOmChbCje-TLR8CYPKiGLgIVOUIEX9_SOHxd1yP5JT2Ey3_CToCgrDLUFupldlTypv_c5figY5ByNYu3qyijB3NoKjzh2e5LYB69YprDMsLZuqgjUfAp9yekp-CCp52mLUsJHg0Qvs1uM/s320/Violet+Red+Yellow+Gym+Motivational+Words+Instagram+Post.png" /></a></div>different people.

According to a study conducted by One Poll on behalf of fitness app creator Freeletics, 42% of Americans surveyed cited “not enough time” as the reason for not exercising. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">In today’s COVID-19 world, the one thing many of us seem to have a surplus of is- TIME. In the same study, 20% cited “too expensive” as another reason not to exercise. Well good news America- while you are safe at home, you can do this effective exercise that doesn’t take very long and doesn’t cost you anything! Best of all- it works multiple body parts and has many health benefits!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Here's an easy health break while watching your favorite show- instead of fast forwarding through the commercials, get down and plank! Bingeing on Netflix? Between episodes set a timer for 5 minutes and give your body a health break. Circulation and activating muscles will actually make you feel better than sitting for hours.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Planks work all the major abdominal muscles, strengthens your back, shoulders, chest, neck, glutes, and quads. It’s the ideal full body exercise to fill those programming gaps! Hold the plank for as many commercials as you can, or if you are a beginner, build up how long you plank gradually.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

When performed properly, planks can strengthen your core, which is important for balance, stability and proper body mechanic and posture. Planks also:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Enhance Bone and Joint Health</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Increase Muscle Definition</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Reduce Back Pain</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Planks are an isometric exercise; which means there is no movement involved to contract the muscles. They require no equipment and can be performed almost anywhere. If you have kids, it’s a great one to do with them, something that’s an excellent habit for them to get into a young age- why not make it a family challenge?</span><br />

The myriad of thoughts that pass through our heads range from being completely lost in the music, focusing on choreography, and thinking about someone in class all the way to weird and extremely random thoughts. Just the other day I was astounded by the number of people that were wearing bright orange shirts in class and I found myself doing calculations in my head on the actual percentage of people wearing the same color (yes while we were dancing). The weird thing is that all of the bright orange shirts were on the right side of the room, but I digress.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Some other more prevalent things that pass through my head often revolve around choreography, the music, a personal connection or honestly something personal like an injury, illness or the fact that I may be starving or thirsty. </span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I always wonder if people are happy, having fun, enjoying the workout 😀.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I often wonder if when my sweat flies if it is going to hit someone in the front row 😂.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The other day someone yawned while jumping and I was trying to figure out how that was physically possible 😉.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Sometimes I am so engrossed in the choreography I think about absolutely nothing at all outside of the pure joy of the moment💗.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Often times I focus on someone who is smiling or doing something unique and fantastic (we have a lot of individual styles in class which is beyond AMAZING)👏!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Occasionally I wonder what move is next, and if I can't remember I try to decide if I am going to step touch and clap or do a V-step.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There are those moments I am dyyyyyyyying of thirst and I truly wonder if I am going to make it through.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Every once in a while when I am up in the air jumping I wonder what is going to happen to my injured leg when I land and I try to make accommodations for averting a disaster. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Sometimes I look at the clock and wish there was another hour left to dance! (Who am I kidding, not sometimes, ALL the time)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Sometimes I wonder if the person standing outside the door looking in wants to come in and dance, or I wonder if they are just looking for someone.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I watch in admiration as my Zumba</span>® <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">peeps KILL it and take over while I lead and think about how much I 💗 them.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Sometimes I literally STOP in my tracks and watch everyone dance and it makes my heart swell with joy.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I wonder when I bring a new song if people like it or hate it (although most times I know they will like it after a week or two).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When I play an old song, I wonder if people are sick of it, or find comfort in something familiar. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The list is really endless...and I could on for days and days...</span></li>

The answer was obviously no. Many instructors struggle to learn choreographies, find songs, find their style; but that wasn’t my fear. My biggest fear was getting up on stage and messing up in front of people. Because that would lead to them not returning and I would have failed. Failure was not an option! So how did I get over my fear? I was lucky to have a mentor who just pulled to the front and pushed me through my fear. It was horrible, I messed it up but I did it! It felt amazing and scared at the same time. Through that experience, I learned that the only way to be successful is to have a safe environment to practice, practice, and more practice. At that moment, I wanted to return to those who fear not succeeding, a place for them to safely try, fail, and try again! And most importantly to be a guide and mentor to help them push through!<br /><br />I am part of the Zumba<span style="font-size: x-small;">®</span> Mentoring program; however, mentoring someone that is hundreds or thousands of miles away is hard; so I got an idea: mentoring sessions as regular classes, so I could help newbies going across all the suffering I went through on my first class in a safe environment. No judgments just learning and fun.<br /><br />In my mentoring program, I will focus on 5 key principles to help my mentees.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

Personally, I am not attending this year {insert sad face}, but I did attend for several years in a row and have some feedback to share. </span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>ZINCON</b></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">®</span></span></span></span></span> Hotels</b>: There are three major hotels where most Zumba</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">®</span></span></span></span></span> instructors stay during convention. At this point in time, most people have already booked their accommodations, nonetheless below are some things to consider.</span></span></li>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Hyatt</b>: Very nice hotel with a lot of amenities. It is where most of the action is during ZINCON</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">®</span></span></span></span></span></span></span>. It is also convenient to pop up to your room and change clothes or grab a snack between classes. The restaurants here are ALWAYS packed with VERY long lines. Plan to eat early, and allow time before your classes.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Rosen</b>: Just a hop, skip and jump (across the bridge), the Rosen was recently refurbished and the rooms are certainly nice. The lobby used to be a "party" place after the evening ended, but the last two years I was there it was pretty quiet. There are a handful of restaurants here (including a general store) that is easy to access with reasonably priced meals. The pool here is spacious and the restaurant outside serves reasonably priced food. At night it is a great place to hang out away from the buzz if you need to decompress. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Hilton</b>: The Hilton is a great place to stay to get away from the excitement if you need a break. While the hotel is nice it is a longer walk to most of the classes and events (held in the Hyatt). When you leave in the morning you may want to consider packing a bag with the essentials for the day. </span></span></li>

<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Don't forget to eat! </b>It is very easy to stay busy from the time you wake up until the minute your head hits the pillow. My advice would be <i>DO NOT FORGET TO EAT</i>. If you don't eat, it will bite you in the butt. Your body will feel it, and you will become tired early. The Hyatt has easily accessible pop-up cafes and restaurants for food. There is also a convenience store right around the corner from the Hyatt that has chilled food, snacks and drinks. You can also get an Uber/Lyft or cab to a local grocery store if you want to stock your fridge. Some personal car companies even offer a pit-stop to the grocery store from the airport if you request it. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Don't forget to sleep</b>! It is easy to stay awake around the clock because the music is pumping throughout the entire Hyatt hotel from the main stage, ballrooms, hallways and just about EVERYWHERE! It is <b>OK </b>to sleep, and your body <b>needs</b> it. It is easy to get run down on DAY 1 if you do not set aside some time to rest. Just like you are scheduling in classes, master classes, sessions and training, make sure you schedule in some time to sleep.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>You do YOU. </b>Don't be afraid to go to the sessions you want to go to, and experience ZINCON</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">®</span></span></span> the way you want to experience it.

This can be an overwhelming task. Here are a few helpful tips:</span></span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u>Clothes</u>: Bring a change of clothes for each day you have sessions. You WILL be sweaty, and it is NO fun walking around the Hyatt sweaty with the hotel air conditioner blowing down your back. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u>Sweatshirt</u>: It may seem odd to bring a sweatshirt to Orlando, BUT DO IT. The ballrooms can be cold, especially if you are sitting down for training. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u>Shoes</u>: Bring more than one pair of shoes. You will want to rotate them throughout the weekend. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u>Insoles</u>: Don't forget your insoles for your shoes. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u>Snacks</u>: Pack snacks! Snack bars. Energy bars. Protein powder. Peanut butter. Crackers. Anything that is easy to carry and that can get you through your day. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u>Fanny Pack</u>: YES! I said it. A fanny pack, but you will need it. You are not allowed to take bags into the fitness concert. They also come in handy if you want to carry your essentials on you while you are dancing or in training. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u>First Aid:</u> You will inevitably need some sort of first aid, so just go ahead and throw it in your bag. Here are a few suggestions: Band aids (of ALL sizes), gauze pads, athlete tape (2 packs), Ace bandage, nail clippers, Neosporin, Aleve, Hydration gel and Nausea relief.</span></span></li>

You will be able to be SEEN wherever you go. Everyone knows how fabulous you are, it is even more appealing when it is accompanied with manners.

Welcome to July! Welcome to your new week. Every new day presents a time to move forward and NOT look back. With each class, week and month that passes by, as group fitness instructors we know that we just need to keep moving. If you had the most amaZINing class ever; live it, cherish it and breathe it in because that is almost the best feeling on earth. If you had a class that was painful, take it as a learning experience on what you can improve next time. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">With every single class that I teach I always make sure I personally greet new members to classes. I do this before class by introducing the "new" person to a "regular", or I give a high-five and a hello (depending upon how much time I have before class). At the end of class, I always make sure to make personal connections especially if someone "new" rocked the class, or if a "regular" really pushed themselves. Well, let's face it any reason to high-five, hug or take pics is great with me. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Last week something in particular stuck out in my mind and I am still thinking about it. I was giving kudos to a "new" participant because they really did an amazing job in class AND they smiled almost the whole time! When I went up to compliment the individual they said, "<i>Well this is my first time back at the gym in </i></span></span></span><i>

</i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>five years. I am so out of shape and fat</i>". Immediately my after-Zumba<span style="font-size: xx-small;">®</span>-high fell to the floor. I felt crushed that this member was measuring themselves by their past. What I was focused on was that this member was mindful, present and literally kicked butt for an hour of a killer sweatfest. Most importantly, they made the decision that TODAY would be the day they would try again on their fitness journey </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">and that takes a lot of determination and courage. </span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I felt honored that my class was the one they chose, probably by chance but at any rate, I had the opportunity to inspire someone else, and let's face it, that is why we do what we do. I encourage you to not only teach the class your songs and your routines, but help people be the best version of themselves. Help people see the positives in each of their experiences. Remind participants that they should be proud of the work they put in and not linger on the past or failures. At the end of the day, the present day is what truly matters. Let's spread physical fitness, positive vibes and kindness. </span></span></span>TheZBeathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12482549326243466863noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750930378327435834.post-29519981379206838692019-05-02T12:00:00.000-04:002019-05-02T12:00:40.039-04:00The Goldilocks Story....Almost <div class="MsoNormal">

Toning are the closest. Teaching these formats together work well for me, as I don’t have
much time to practice due to my full-time job and the several classes I already
teach. When I subbed Aqua, I quickly realized that teaching in an indoor
pool was tough on my eyes – the chlorine irritated them. Perhaps an outdoor
pool is better but I haven’t tried it. The Aqua audience was used to a different
format, more relaxed and with props. Then I show up with </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKx10oMb0ZqKaosoJz1AYBKxt4q0GhGenjfnx_mwVQF3xQ6GkfNDJvM0aEoBZH-1wS4lfc_tQuXwheh0058YC4OJyYOOzcO-dMrfDszcEbU7XTxIg8xSnpZwvbMZIDn2mAGI4vX655fkY/s1600/toning1.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1280" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKx10oMb0ZqKaosoJz1AYBKxt4q0GhGenjfnx_mwVQF3xQ6GkfNDJvM0aEoBZH-1wS4lfc_tQuXwheh0058YC4OJyYOOzcO-dMrfDszcEbU7XTxIg8xSnpZwvbMZIDn2mAGI4vX655fkY/s400/toning1.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></span>lots of energy and Latin

I had the vision and the hook. I created a
flyer and shazam, got people interested in it. Then, while brainstorming with a
good ZIN</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">™</span></span></span></span> peer/friend about how to increase interest after a few months teaching

additional interest and word of mouth set in. Then there were more
opportunities. While subbing for Body Conditioning, management said, ‘any format’, as it

Wow! I started very simple, then based
on their response added dance complexity. Of course, I gave them an SBZ Q4

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When people ask me what I “do” for employment, it is funny because
my mind immediately jumps to me being a fitness instructor over my corporate job
where I spend most of my time. The simple answer is because fitness is what I
love, it is my passion, it is what I want to do full-time. However, that is not
in the cards at this time, so part-time fitness instructor it is. But is it
really part time? Think about how much time you spend preparing for classes.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now imagine all of that work across several platforms,
various gyms, different classes. It can really take up a large portion of your
day. Here are a few tips to help you manage your preparation time.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Practice:</b> Just as
if you have scheduled classes, schedule yourself practice time. Mark it on your
calendar and allot that time specifically for learning new choreography and
fine-tuning your existing choreography. If you need a little extra motivation,
ask some of your peeps to join you! You will find your energy increases AND the
creative collaboration makes for some awesome choreography! </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Music:</b> Take
advantage of your downtime during the day. Maybe this is in the car on your way
to work, or during nap time for your kids. Keep your music source handy and pop
in your ear buds throughout the day to scout new music. Whether it is listening
to music provided by your fitness genre, or doing a search on Apple Music of Spotify,
you can basically hit shuffle, and tune it out until you find that one jam that
resonates with you. Take that song and add it to a set list called “Choreography”
so you can easily locate it when you are ready to work on it.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Set Lists:</b> Come
up with an easy to follow naming convention for your set lists. You can do this
by month, genre, gym or date. In doing so, you will have a record on what you
did when to ensure you are keeping things fresh for your participants. I work
on set lists the day before classes. It takes about 10-15 minutes to rotate
songs in and out or start a new set list. You can make it a practice to have a default
set list for when you want to defer to the class favorites.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Social Media:</b>
There are several tools that are available in the marketplace to help manage
your social media channels. In an effort to keep things streamlined and
organized, you can create a content calendar at the beginning of each month.
From there you can pre-write and post items and schedule them out with a
third-party tool. Alternatively, you can set time aside daily to manage your
social channels (I would recommend early in the morning to get it out of the
way). The most important thing here is to create your point of view so your
posts have value and meaning to your audience. If this is not your wheelhouse,
don’t worry, for a nominal fee, you can actually hire someone to manage your
accounts. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Networking:</b> This
is such a huge part of the fitness industry. It is no doubt that classes are
more fun with different styles and personalities, and those differences are
what makes the fitness community unique. Make sure to carve out time in your
schedule to get to other people in your fitness community. Visit other
instructor classes, and when your schedule allows, attend events to see your
friends, meet new people and network new business opportunities. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We all know the TLC that is required for your fitness classes, businesses and brands. We certainly all know how busy and crazy life can be! Hopefully these tidbits will help save a little preparation time so you can truly do what you love most; inspire others through fitness! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">What are you passionate about? I was asked that question today and it really made me
pause </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">and think.....I honestly couldn’t put my finger on
it. And that</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> made me sad. I am an
elementary school Reading Specialist by day, and</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> group fitness instructor at night. There are many things I like to do in my spare time; read,
listen to music, spend time with my family, watch tv. I love teaching children
how to read to see how they light up when they see me, and hug me when I leave brings me joy. I
love working with other teachers and sharing my experience and knowledge. But
fundamentally I know there has to be something I’m <b>passionate</b>
about, something that makes my heart beat, something I can’t live without. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">As I was contemplating this after school, I
was also preparing for my BodyPump™ class. Then it hit me! My passion! It is teaching
group fitness classes. I honestly can’t imagine not teaching classes. <b>I love when I can motivate someone to do
something they </b></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>didn’t think they could do.</b> I feed off the energy in the room
and all of the smiling faces looking back at me. <b>Being at the gym makes me feel whole,
fulfilled and happy!</b> At 51 I finally found my passion and continue to grow in
my craft. I have an opportunity to change people’s lives…..and that’s HUGE! To
think that people take time out of their day, precious time, for themselves and
come to see ME??? That’s something that
I take seriously. I need to make it worthwhile for them. I want to make them feel like
they are worthy of taking that time away from all the responsibilities and
focus on just them. To think that I
motivate them to come workout, and that I can share my <b>PASSION </b>of fitness with them
is the best feeling in the world. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, now that I know what I am passionate
about, what am I to do with this nugget? I will continue to motivate, inspire and welcome
everyone that walks into my class. I want that hour to be the best of their
day, the most fun, the most challenging, maybe even the hardest – definitely the most rewarding. And I want them to come back. I want them to
feel the passion for fitness that I do, to know we are in it together and I am
their biggest supporter. So, if you
haven’t found your passion yet – don’t worry!
<b>It took me a while, but I found it – and I won’t let it go!!</b>It is never too late to discover your passion. Changes are right inside of you, it just needs to be discovered, and {You got this}!</span></span><br />

It is not like the "Spring Break" that comes to mind from your college years, but none-the-less a time to travel with the family (more on that later), and a time where I had to sub out my fitness classes. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our very own ZBeat contributor Teryck Coles wrote an excellent article on subbing classes; check it out <a href="https://www.thezbeat.com/2019/04/fitness-class-professionals-to-sub-or.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Whether it be for physical reasons, an injury, or just a mental break from your class schedule, subbing out your classes can be beneficial. Subbing out my classes is something that I just experienced while away for Spring Break with the family. The thing is, while I was gone, I missed my classes SO MUCH! I was so very lucky to leave my classes in the hands of talented instructor friends and colleagues which was a huge relief as I knew my classes were in good hands. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, while I was gone, these are the things that went through my mind the very first class I “missed” I thought to myself…. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">• Class is starting now </span></span><br />

Class Professionals: To Sub or Not to Sub?<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3797059dc2a2c"><span class="_3oh- _58nk">To Sub or Not to Sub
“Uh oh!”
“There it is...”
“What do I do...?”
“Let me see if someone responds first...”
We’ve ALL been there. We’ve ALL received it. And, at some time or another, have sent one. What am I talking about? <b>THE SUBSTITUTE REQUEST</b>.
No one wants to sub out their class and many of us do not want to sub all the time. So, when the email/request hits YOUR inbox, what should you do?
There are lots of options here, but <b><i>I’ll cover a few reasons why subbing is a GOOD thing</i></b>. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3797059dc2a2c"><span class="_3oh- _58nk">NEW INSTRUCTORS: For new instructors (whether you are a newly certified instructor or new to a gym/studio), you can use this as an opportunity to introduce yourself to members and other instructors. Since members are not familiar with you or your teaching style, it’s an excellent chance to try out new choreography or a new music style; after all, they won’t have any basis for comparison. So, why not take a chance?!?! </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3797059dc2a2c"><span class="_3oh- _58nk">REGULAR INSTRUCTORS: For those instructors who teach regular classes at a gym/studio, what’s the benefit of subbing for you? LOTS! Subbing shows you are team-oriented and, remember, we cannot have “group fitness” without a “group”, right? Additionally, a willingness to cover other classes can go a long way in the eyes of not only your colleagues, but your students as well.
When you sub a class (and know in advance), be sure to announce it during your regular classes—participants who may not typically attend that instructors class are more likely to show up (sometimes they may not be aware there is a class at that time because they might only attend YOUR class).
Lastly, this is a good marketing opportunity for you as a regular instructor. Perhaps you want to build your class size? You can use this time to let the class know what times/days/formats you teach and invite them to your class. Oftentimes, all it takes is an invite and the likelihood of them attending your class increases by leaps and bounds. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3797059dc2a2c"><span class="_3oh- _58nk">When subbing (for new and regular instructors): </span></span></span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3797059dc2a2c"><span class="_3oh- _58nk">ALWAYS be sure to get to class a little earlier than you may normally do. It gives you time to meet/greet members who are unfamiliar with you and spend a little more time with those who do</span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3797059dc2a2c"><span class="_3oh- _58nk">ANNOUNCE yourself and let members know when/where to find YOUR classes and ENCOURAGE them to join you on their fitness journey</span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3797059dc2a2c"><span class="_3oh- _58nk">GIVE A SHOUT-OUT to the regular instructor whose class you are substituting. Members want to know their regular instructor isn’t being replaced by you (we all know how much our students love us and the classes we teach). It doesn’t hurt to say, “John will return as scheduled next week” or “Maria will be back after her honeymoon”. </span></span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3797059dc2a2c"><span class="_3oh- _58nk">Some other thoughts about subbing, be careful not to request subs too much. (What’s too much? That depends and is a story for another day.) We do not want to request substitute teachers every other week as it can severely cause a drop in our class numbers. Also, we do not want to take advantage of other instructors availability; just because they aren't teaching, doesn’t mean they are available on a whim. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3797059dc2a2c"><span class="_3oh- _58nk">As instructors, we’ve made a decision to present each time, every time. So, be mindful of multiple requests (life happens, just be mindful).
Another thought in regard to sub requests, think about building a small team of instructors who teach the same format(s)—this is especially helpful with daytime vs. nighttime instructors. If you teach in the morning, you’re more likely to get a reply from another available daytime instructor as opposed to an instructor who teaches evening classes (and vice versa). (It is okay to cast your net wide since you never really know when someone will be available.) </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3797059dc2a2c"><span class="_3oh- _58nk">So, to answer the question, to sub or not to sub? Well, the answer is ultimately your own. Based on your availability, you may or not be able to be there; keep in mind, it’s an opportunity for you to connect with more people and for them to connect with you. <i>Accepting a sub request: helps out an instructor in need, keeps the schedule running, pays it forward (so, you’ll have subs when you need one), and, most of all, KEEPS OUR STUDENTS HAPPY</i>!</span></span></span></span><br />

There are a lot of reasons why self doubt could be introduced in someone's life. Perhaps they are feeling a little insecure. Maybe someone said something negative that resonated with them and cascaded into other negative thoughts. It is quite possible that a bad experience impacted the way someone thinks about themselves. It is 100% likely that the overwhelming use, co-dependency and prevalence of social media plays an impact one way or another on the way someone feels about themselves. Extensive studies through the years show that there is a positive correlation between social me<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">dia </span>usage and one's self esteem. To put it simply, the more you engage in social media, the larger the chan<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ce</span> that you will have lower self esteem. Now, it is not all gloom and doom. Everything in moderation is OK. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What does this have to do with Zumba you ask? Zumba is a platform where instructors teach, perform, inspire, lead and motivate. Despite what it may look like, it can be difficult for some instructors to salsa away the self doubt. It takes a lot of courage and a bucket of thick skin to survive and thrive in the fitness industry. For the most part, <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I would say m<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ost</span></span> instructors are confident <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">a <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">majority<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> of the ti</span></span></span>me, especially when the music starts. However, t<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">here is a small percentage of </span>time<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> w<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">here</span></span> self doubt can eat away at your happiness. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here are some helpful hints to help you "<i>salsa AWAY the self doubt</i>". <span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></span></span><br />

</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><u><b>How to troubleshoot:</b></u> Announce at the beginning of every class, "Take it at your own pace, have fun, and if you need to leave early, give me a thumbs up so I know you are OK". </span></span></span></span><br />

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Read the fine print for every resort in terms of travel. In my experience, you have to <b>arrive on a Sunday and depart on a Sunday</b>. You will never teach on your travel day which means <u>NO classes</u> on Sundays. You will most likely teach one or more classes Monday-Friday, and in some cases on Saturday as well. </span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you are looking for a <b>family-oriented</b> location there are plenty of options. (Note: Most places allow for 2 adults and 2 kids under the age of 12 included "Free". If you have a third child, there is small upgrade fee. Depending on the resort, you can either get one room, or upgrade for a larger family. Read the fine print)!</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> If you are looking for a <b>couples getaway</b>, there are couples/adult only locations that are magical and quiet and inclusive only for adults. </span></span></span></li>

In many cases, it may be difficult to get to where you want to go, so book early and stay on-top of all the travel sites b<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">y </span>setting alerts for airline price thresholds. </span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You need to be <b>FLEXIBLE</b>! That is basically the <b>#1 requirement</b>. If you are<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">n't</span> a "wait and see" kind of person, <i>this trip is not for you</i>. When you sign up for the trip you denote the platform you teach, you will never be asked to teach something you are not certified to teach, but your specific schedule will be defined once you get there. Fit Bodies Inc does a great job outlining a tentative schedule in terms of resort requirements, but that can change. You won't confirm exactly what you are doing until you get there. </span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Once you arrive, you check in to the resort. Unpack your bags, take a look around the resort, grab a frosty beverage and <u>find the activities director</u>. He/she is expecting you and together you will discuss your teaching schedule, timing and they will coordinate who will be with you (you will either be alone, or with the entertainment staff which is a BLAST), and they will let you know who is in charge of the music/equipment, etc.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>It's True! You just Need to Teach: </b>Once you confirm your schedule, you can set up activities for the rest of the week. You can choose to relax by the pool, take advantage of resort activities or sign up for excursions IF it works with your teaching schedule. Remember, YOU ARE THERE TO TEACH, so that is your #1 priority. However, once you fulfill your priority of teaching; you are free to have fun. And let me tell you, it is fun for everyone in the family! </span></span></li>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks ago, I attended a
BANG mixed fitness certification. I have been in the group exercise
industry for over 25 years and I’ve attended many, many trainings. I was looking for something to add to my current
schedule, but I wasn’t quite sure what. Then I found BANG! The more I researched, the
more curious I was….hip hop, boxing (I
LOVE BOXING), cardio……I was intrigued. I checked it out
online and contacted a friend who teaches it. I thought I’d take a chance and sign up for
the training. It was one of the best
decisions I’ve made. Here’s a breakdown
of the certification process and my weekend.
Once signed up, I received an email with my music, videos and my track
assignment (you present this track throughout the weekend) about 2 weeks prior
to training. I downloaded it and started
to learn! I teach Les Mills classes, so
I’m used to the pre-choreographed formats and have a system of how to learn new
releases. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span></div>

anxious. I didn’t know what to expect,
as I hadn’t ever taken a whole class! We started at 10:00 with a master class
from the trainer. It was awesome! The music, the energy – the BOXING!!! After the master class, we had a few minutes
before we got down to business. After a
busy day of going through the technique, breaking down each track (song) and
presenting, we finished at about 5:00!
We had a 30 minute lunch break, but that was really about it….it was
physically and mentally demanding. </span></span></span></div>

little sore 😉, I was excited to go back! We started with another master class and this
time we each got up to lead our track.
Our group was small and everyone was so supportive. We spent the day talking a little more about
education and learned about ourselves as </span></span></div>

times. After another 7 hour day, we were
done! Two days later, I received an
email saying I passed the weekend training.
Now, to video tape a live class.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> You have to video tape a live
class and submit within 90 days of the training to be fully certified. Full disclosure, I taped once already – but
was not happy with it, so I’ll be doing another taping this weekend!! </span><span style="font-size: large;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As mentioned earlier, BANG is a
mixed fitness class that incorporates hip-hop, boxing, cardio, and body weight
training. There are 3 levels – participants can 1) follow and stay with low
impact moves, 2) do everything instructor is doing, or 3) do everything instructor is doing while
wearing weighted gloves (1/2 lb each).
Moves can be “undanced” for those who feel they aren’t coordinated
enough (but we all know everyone can dance!)
I love that I can be a diva getting my groove on during one song, and
then switch into a fierce boxer in another, and then hit a high intensity
cardio track that gets my heart racing
(think 80’s aerobics throwback)! It’s
great for every fitness level and I look forward to adding this class to my
schedule!!</span> </span></span><br />

<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f33407edb3c40aa"><span class="_3oh- _58nk">Or, maybe getting paid to do something you enjoy?</span></span> </span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well, it can by any, or all, of these things. It may be some things not on this short list. However, at the end of the day, the question still remains: what makes a successful class? <b>A successful class is one that participants enjoy from START to FINISH</b>. A successful class is one that is taught safely and effectively. A successful class is one that remains participant-focused.<i>
As instructors, we sometime lose sight of the importance of keeping our classes focused on our students</i>. Perhaps we’ve had a rough day at work. Maybe our child is sick. We could become more focused on our own performance in the class than our students. Or, maybe, we just don’t want to be there that day. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In order to have a successful class we need to first remember <b>WHY we do what we do</b>. We’ve all fallen in love with certain formats and made the big leap to becoming instructors. At this point, we’ve transitioned from “<u>participant</u>” to “<u>instructor</u>”; the class is now in OUR hands and it’s success is up to us.
In the trials of life, we have ups and downs. A rough day at work, that big upcoming project, a sick kid at home, our mood, or other personal concerns (and more) all can lead us to that “magical” land of DISTRACTION. We end up not focusing on our classes and the don’t <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">rece<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ive</span></span> our full attention. <i>Our students deserve to have us at our best, especially when we are asking them to give their best selves to us</i>. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Having a packed class is certainly indicative of having a popular class, but is the class successful as well. Well, that depends. Depending on studio size, 60 may be packed, but so can 16. Also, the right format, at the right time, on the right day, can be a HUGE impact.
I’ve often heard some instructors compare their class totals to other instructors. Ultimately, this can become a distraction too. Once again, this is an opportunity to refocus ourselves and focus on our students. We can do this by ensuring our classes remain fun AND fitness-based. Make certain your members are working hard—no matter how many are present. Keeping our classes focused on their fitness goals is a key to having and maintaining a successful class. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Another key to having a successful class and keeping classes participant-focused is to remember: this workout is for our students, NOT us. Our role as instructors is to give our members the best workout of their day, EVERY day we teach. When we are focused on our squat (other than to demonstrate proper form) and not THEIR squat, we’ve shifted into being self-focused.
One good way to making sure we keep our focus on our students is to FACE our students when we teach. Facing our members allows not only us to see them, but for THEM TO SEE YOU. It helps us to engage our students directly and each person in the room will feel like your smile was meant just for them. (Also, we get a better visual for any potential safety hazards that may arise and it’s easier to get the classes attention.)
These are only a few things we can do for successful classes. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, the bottom line to being successful in your classes is simply remembering WHY you are there in the first place. It’s not to get paid (though that’s nice), it’s not because our name is on the schedule (names can be replaced), and it’s not because we need the workout (this may be true, but we need to do that before/after class).
We’re there because we love sharing our fitness passions with our students. In return, they love us for being fully present and dedicated to keeping them safe while having fun! 🙂</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Fitness is your passion, Zumba<span style="font-size: x-small;">®</span> is your love, exercise is

repetitive motions including twisting, jumping, lunges, plyometrics and squats.
These motions are well known to have the propensity to cause injuries if performed
frequently, without recovery and rest, and without stretching. As an instructor, it is your responsibility to create safe environment for your participants and manage your own physical well being<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Common injuries include sprains of ankle, tendonitis of the achilles tendon, plantar fasciitis, and strain to the lower leg and foot. Achilles
tendon and plantar fasciitis are extremely common injuries experienced by Zumba</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">®</span></span></span> instructors. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br/>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These types injuries are usually associated with overuse and typically starts as a sore
muscle after an activity (commonly in the calf muscle). The injury progresses
with swelling into the back of the heel and worsens causing pain during
activity and rest. A hallmark symptom of Achilles tendon is the pain in the
heel upon getting out of bed. Some people are even unable to bear full weight in the foot
when getting out of bed. The injury progresses to plantar fasciitis causing
acute pain in the arch of the foot. If left untreated the tight and inflammed
gastrocnemius (calf) can tear or even rupture. The joints in the arch of the
foot can also become stressed causing stress fractures. One thing is for
certain, painful feet are not fun!!</span></span></div>

</span></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1. Stretch before and after each class. Hold all stretches

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">9. If symptoms do not resolve themselves with self care consider consulting with a physical therapist or medical professional. The focus of this assessment will most likely include a comprehensive
evaluation of pathology, strength deficits, biomechanical disadvantage(flat
feet), and footwear evaluation. The PT or doctor could potentially make further recommendations for a consultation
with a Podiatrist (foot doctor) or an Orthopedic doctor.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According to
“Readers Digest”, a strong core has amazing health benefits (as well as looking
amazing)!!</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">to build core stability first,
and then build core strength. You want to get the deeper muscles working first.
When you’ve got a strong core, everything else will fit into place on top of
it, meaning your </span><b><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"><a href="https://www.besthealthmag.ca/best-you/fitness/kate-hudsons-fitness-routine/"><span style="text-decoration: none;">overall fitness</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></a></span></b><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">will improve, making you less prone to injury

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Protect your inner organs and central nervous system. </b>Staying healthy also
means protecting those vital systems below the surface. Your core is not only
where your organs and central nervous system do their busy-work, it’s also
where your body’s largest (and most important) veins and arteries are based.
Keeping strong core muscles will help ensure everything stays protected as you
move through your day.<b><br /> </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>3.
Strengthen your core to back pain. </b>Back
pain is a common side effect of a weak core. When
our abdominals are weak, it’s often because our back muscles are overly strong.
Building core strength will help bring balance to
the front and back of your body. Sitting at a desk all day doesn’t help,
either. Not being<b><a href="https://www.besthealthmag.ca/best-you/wellness/how-to-practice-mindfulness/"><span style="text-decoration: none;"> mindful</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></a></b>of how we’re sitting, and not engaging our core, can lead to
things like compressed discs in our spine.<br /><b> </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>4.
Get a strong, confident posture</b>! If
your core is strong, you’ll be hard pressed not to carry yourself with <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.besthealthmag.ca/best-you/wellness/body-language-and-confidence/">confidence</a></span>. A tall, upright posture exudes strength. It gives the impression
that this person is in control of their life.<b><br /> </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>5.</b> You’ll feel better! <span style="font-weight: normal;">Not only will a

great, too. Once you’ve developed your core stability, you can start working on
the more superficial core muscles to build strength you’ll be able to see.<br />Here are three exer<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">cis<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">es that I recommend to get you started:</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">When Your Choreography is Being Used by Others by Zumba<span style="font-size: xx-small;">®️</span> Fitness Instructor: Megan Hernandez</span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I think it is safe to say that all Zumba<span style="font-size: x-small;">®️</span> instructors love to dance. They love to get up, shake off their day and let themselves move freely. They possess this effervescence about them that can bring a whole room of tired and over worked women and men into an entire new space of enjoyment. It is still mind boggling to think how many different ways we can move our bodies that is ethereal and motivating. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Scrolling through ZIN™Facebook groups I have come across a trend in conversations--<b>Choreography</b>. One of the hot choreography topics is constantly about <i><b>people using other people's choreography and using it as their own</b></i>. Choreography that could have taken hours to create, if not days. Take for instance something you are so proud of creating and is being taught in someone else's class! So it is understandable why this topic keeps coming up. There is a sense of pride and honor that comes from all of that work and determination in creating choreography. Especially when the choreography wows your class like you knew <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">it </span>would! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">What if the "offenders" idolize your work and just want to pass on your talent? What if they are overwhelmed with creating their first class and know the songs YOU do and take it as a couple less songs they have to learn to get their own class going? On the contrary,<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> some </span>instructors think it <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">would </span>be flattering to <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">have t</span>heir choreography used by others. And, on one hand it kind of is, but what if that's not what you want? There are ways to protect your creativity by using copyright. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">For those of you that are feeling slighted and maybe even bitter, start by taking a few deep breaths and asking yourself a few questions. Really get to the bottom of why you are upset. </span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Is it that the person is using it in a class where you have students in common? </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Has the person presented it on some form of digital media and taken credit for it? </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Do you feel like you should have been asked permission?</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When you figure out the reason that you are upset, take another deep breath. </span></span><br />
<ul>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The best approach may be to talk to the instructor and just let them know how you feel about it. This is especially the case with a new instructor. Everything is so overwhelming when new instructors start out on <i>their</i> Zumba</span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">®️</span></span></span> journey it might not even occur to them that the choreography they are using was created by YOU and NOT by Zumba<span style="font-size: x-small;">®️</span> Fitness. It may not even occur to them that they would even need to ask to use choreography, or they simply maybe just don't know who to ask. It is a great idea to <i>give the benefit of doubt to the instructor</i>. Just having a conversation could help alleviate hard feelings. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">T</span>here are ways to protect your choreography if you feel that someone may benefit from it financially. You can upload your medium and use the Copyright symbol©️ with your name and the year of copyright next to it and then file it with your U.S. Copyright Office. Note that copyrighting your choreography will not prohibit others from performing the dance under the fair use principle. Fair use allows for limited personal and educational use, so that people may perform your dance in their own homes and in other arenas covered by limited personal and educational use. However, if you copyright your choreography, others cannot sell the dance or claim it as their own creation.
I will leave you with this final thought. </span></span><br />
