• Ensure safe practice is always a priority:
offer clients feedback on their posture
and alignment before and while
performing each workout.
4 Think about your music choices
The music you use can profoundly impact your
class. Have you ever been at a wedding or
party, just itching to dance, when one of your
favourite songs comes on? Cue running to the
dance floor grabbing your friends on the way!
That’s what your class is like for participants.
Find a happy compromise between
your musical tastes and those of your
participants. That underground club banger
that gets your heart racing probably isn’t
everyone’s cup of tea. A mix of current and
classic mainstream pop music is always a
good place to start.
Remember to mix up your playlists rather
than using the same music every class. Try
various musical styles from dance, pop,
‘60s/’70s/’80s, rock’n’roll, swing, Motown
or themed music such as Christmas,
Halloween, Australia Day and Valentine’s
Day. Interval music formats such as ‘Tabata’
can also shake things up.
5 Use equipment strategically
Using equipment, such as noodles and
flotation dumbbells, in aqua fitness can
ensure the strength-training component of
your class hits the mark. When using any
handheld flotation equipment, remember:
• some clients may not be able to hold
equipment for extended periods of
time due to the stress and strain on
shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands and
fingers
• collecting and returning equipment
slows down the flow of a class.
When it comes to incorporating equipment:
• introduce it after the cardio/conditioning
section of the class
• design routines so the resistance
equipment is not always held in hands,
e.g. place them between legs, under
knees and under armpits
• remind clients that they are welcome to
perform routines without the equipment
if they experience any discomfort.
6 Continually learn and upskill
Never stop learning or evolving as a teacher.
