Aerobics instructors must possess a wide range of skills and teaching methods, and this involves theoretical understanding as well as the polished practical application of safe aerobics techniques.
Endorsed by the Federation for International Sport, Aerobics and Fitness (FISAF), this handbook grew from the collective wisdom, both practical and theoretical, of experienced instructor trainers from Network for Fitness Professionals.
Accompanied by excellent illustrations, the text delivers, in a highly readable style, in-depth information on:
- Technical and instructor skills
- Base moves and elements of variation
- Choreography development
- Class design and formats
- Musical interpretation
- Cueing and communication
- Warm-ups and cool-downs
- Muscle conditioning (with or without equipment)
- Step classes
- Special populations
- Professional development
'The Aerobics Instructor's Handbook' is a comprehensive text providing all the information required by aerobics professionals at every level, from the trainee instructor preparing for certification, or the practising instructor seeking to hone existing skills, to the instructor trainer who knows that there is always something more to be learnt in this dynamic but demanding profession. It will also be a valuable reference book for aerobics co-ordinators, club managers and instructor organisations.
