BODYSTEP Launch


Every three months my head's in a tailspin and my ipod headphones are glued to my ears. I teach at two YMCAs and a Gold's Gym. And every three months we launch new music and choreography. I teach BODYSTEP™, BODYCOMBAT™, BODYFLOW™, and BODYPUMP™. I love these Les Mills programs! But that means I am learning four hours and 42 songs worth of new music and choreography every three months. Not to mention all the old stuff swimming around in my head to be reviewed and rotated in after launch. For every hour of class, I spend another ten hours learning and practicing. Basically... it's a lot of hours I spend on this crazy stuff!

Why do I do it? Sure, there's the obvious health benefits and free membership involved. And who doesn't want to inspire others to feel good in their skin? But then there's that other thing... adrenaline. All instructors know that rush. We put on the mic, turn up the volume, give that first cue, and all of a sudden... everyone's moving... fitness magic!
