MUSIC
When teaching group fitness classes, music is probably the most important "equipment".
Music serves many purposes in group fitness classes; from assisting me with creating a well-planned class, to providing the beats and phrases for cuing to motivate the participants.
I purchase my professional fitness music at Power Music - http://www.powermusic.com/
I typically use music with 125-135 BPMs (beats per minute) for muscle toning, advanced step training classes, and conditioning classes, which I currently teach. Music you can sing along to and "forget" you are working out is the best! One of my favorites is Hot P!NK Hits - http://www.powermusic.com/hot-pink-hits.html (and it's on sale right now!)
This motivating and fun music can also be used while doing other types of workouts!...such as; running, walking and biking. Download all your music to your iPod - http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/
The Nike+ app is great, as it gives you feedback while it records your walk or run.
So, get techy and get healthy!
