I don't like stopping and stretching, or having breaks where you skip etc. Track 8 #27 was amazing. some of the recent ones have been great songs - your shining etc - but even though it was 8 minutes long, there were so many breaks it doesn't feel as exhausting as it should. I understand we need to draw that out from our participants. Bu an e.g. a shuffle and crisscross instead of skipping on the spot - two very different moves in terms of intensity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465398909779806076.post-45805502087505309372010-10-28T11:40:24.271+13:002010-10-28T11:40:24.271+13:00Hi Dan,

I loved the ol' days where it'd be a trashy dance track (blow your whistle, smooth criminal etc) - I've found lately they've been really tame. less pop - the pop songs just slow it down I think. I loved Music is Pumping.<br /><br />Track 5's also - again tend to be quite rock/pop. I feel it loses the essence of the program a bit. saw an earlier suggestion to bring back the split room - I'm all for that.<br /><br />I think some moves from different styles of martial arts etc are great, but if it gets too complex it seems to turn participants off. <br /><br />thanks again for all your hard work and the commitment you both show to the program. very impressive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465398909779806076.post-89217029860644632812010-10-20T03:36:29.307+13:002010-10-20T03:36:29.307+13:00-More soundeffects in the songs please!!

It's very rare a gym to give a 1 hour full class, most are just 50min.<br />Another thing, what about the brazilian jiujitso look? Just an idea... ;)<br />The songs are great, sometimes some like it, sometimes others like that. But people usually likes to know the songs. <br />Less complicated combinations are best for students, both new and experienced. The youngsters feel more comfortable and older eventually reach a level 10, if u know what I mean.<br />Congratulations always for the great work! I've just made one year as a instructor! Love to be a part of this family.<br />We look forward to Rachael to get's here, in RIO-Brazil.
