Why? Because music is the key of movement. Popular fitness formats depend on the music to get people up and grooving; and for many instructors, music is our lifeline to a great class experience.   What is house music? Well there are many interpretations. Listen to the mix playing in the background. No, these mixes do not use 32-count phrasing or 8-count blocks as in professionally-mixed aerobic music. Yet, these mixes naturally flow this type of rhythmic musical phrasing making it ideal for instructor cueing.   Lady G is our special guest because she is one of the few that has experienced the fusion of house music and fitness in the form of Rhythm Walking. Rhythm Walking is fueled by house music.  Lady G is also a fixture of the Atlanta house music scene and is dedicated to spreading the love of house music far and wide. She also walks her talk, always out on the dance floor. Listen in while she talks about the power of house music.  Lady G talking about Rhythm Walking Lady G warming up Follow us on Facebook: MindBody Group Fitness Arts Foundation Rhythm Walking Wii Fitness Examiner House Music Mix by DJ 1derful If Nothing Changes Then Nothing Changes on MixCloud   00:31:00fitinstructornohouse music,Atlanta house heads,Rhythm Walking,Lady G,dancing 5KHouse music is what the world and group fitness needs.

As I finished my tai chi practice this morning, I was inspired to record this show.  What's MindBody fitness? What does that even mean? I describe how I interpret MindBody fitness and why it is important that GFIs pay attention to this essential healing practice. Questions explored include: How do we adapt a tai chi class successfully to a group fitness format? How do instructors create a standard format for teaching tai chi to students Is tai chi for fighting or healing in the group fitness arena? Can fitness instructors learn to mimic martial arts forms effectively? Do instructors need to know the martial (fighting) aspects of tai chi to teach it? How long will it take before you can start teaching a tai chi class? How is a tai chi class structured for a 30-minute session? And more....

Yes, YOU! Even Jack LaLanne eventually slowed down and he was a persistant and dedicated exerciser. Perhaps, for many of you, it is a challenge to slow down and the idea even makes you uncomfortable.  Tai Chi changed my life My personal journey, as first a professional group fitness instructor (someone whose primary source of income is teaching group fitness classes), then, evenutally, becoming a tai chi instructor, has inspired me to share my story with other GFPI. The take-away here is that PGFIs who begin to study and practice this internal martial arts will benefit tremedously. It can also be another source of income targeting the expanding demand in the fitness industry for elder-friendly exercise.  Highlights: What is tai chiTai Chi in the fitness worldStory of my personal journey as a PGFI who started practicing tai chiTai Chi Kung Fu FanTune in to next week's show when we interview Sifu Ahmad Ptah El 00:31:00fitinstructornoTai Chi,fitness,martial arts,instructors,group fitnessAttention hard-core Professional Group Fitness Instructors (PGFI) There may come a time in your fitness life when you have to slow down.

Join me, Rogue Instructor, as I chat about various boutique formats. Boutique formats are not yet widely available. Why? Because there usually is only one instructor who knows how to teach it and that would be the creator of the format. Rhythm Walking is one of the boutique formats discussed today, because it happens to be created by me. Check it out and let me know what you think. While listening to the show I hope you are thinking about some good advice to offer me. I'd love your input, whatever your background, but especially if you're a professional group fitness instructor.  Do you have a new fitness format? We want to hear about it. Yes, you can be a guest on my show; I'd love to interview you! It's pretty easy to do.
