POSTURE
GLUTES…THE STEERING WHEEL
GET GLUTES WORKING
• Stand on one leg• Set up posture• Squat – check alignment – weight in heels!• Draw a circle around• No moving of hips
DOWN AND UP• Face front – Squat Tap, Step Touch, Step Curl, Gallop• In groups of 4 – 2 people make bridge/1 person Step
Touch, 1 person coach• Gallop – face front• Gallop – face partner
KNEE ALIGNMENT• Low impact• High impact• Stationary
• Correct hip and knee stability go hand in hand with core strength
• In BODYATTACK™ we spend a lot of time on one leg with multiple direction changes so alignment and stability are crucial!
• Reduce the risk of injury and pain in the lower extremity
KNEE ALIGNMENT continued
TOE TAP DRILL• Stand on one leg• Draw the clock with free leg• Tap the 12 o’clock, 1 o’clock, 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock,
4 o’clock, 5 o’clock, 6 o’clock, then back again• Repeat on other side• Partner checks knee alignment and pelvis stability

SUMMARY1. Posture
2. Hip/Glute Alignment and Activation
3. Knee Alignment
ARM-LINES HIT POINTS• Control small moves – Walk Forward & Back , Repeaters• Fists to hips – Run Forward Double Punch – 4 Single
Knee Lifts Punch Up• Use your lats – Run On The Spot, Reach Up, Jumping
Jacks• Focus on the pull phase to be more dynamic – Knee Lifts• Range – 45°/90° arms – Supermans

LEGWORK• Control small moves• Range – 45°/90° angles and heights• Transitions – finish last move• Pointed toes• Hamstring flexibility
RUNNING TECHNIQUE
3 MAIN POINTS:• Body-line and Head-line• Foot-line• Arm-line
BODY-LINE and
HEAD-LINE• Stand tall but relax• Keep head up – avoid looking down
as hips tilt and shorten stride length • Head back – arch the back
FOOT-LINE• LANDING – walk in a circle
– Heel-toe action when moving forward– Toes–heels when running on the spot– Always land lightly to absorb impact– Toes to heels when running backward
• HIPS, KNEES AND TOE ALIGNMENT– Toes pointing forwards– Knees in line with 2nd/3rd toes
ARM-LINE• Use arms in a straight line –
forward and back. Not across the body. Loose energy
• Use the arms to propel the body forward and assist the legs
Feet Back Run• Lift chest• Shoulders back and down• Lengthen back of neck• Stay tall but relaxed• Heel to butt
High Knee Run• Land lightly• Belly in• Chest up• Arms forward and back• Hands to ribs• Relaxed hands• Hands lower than eye level
RUNNING TECHNIQUE
RUNNING IN A CIRCLE• Land lightly on heels to absorb impact• Push off big toe to propel forward• Stay tall but relaxed• Arms forward and back• Hands to ribs
RUNNING TECHNIQUE continued
• Hands relaxed• Toes pointing forward – no rolling inward• Knees in line with toes – back foot in line• Big steps
RUNNING TECHNIQUE continued
FUNCTIONAL HAMSTRING FLEXIBILITY
• Functional hamstring flexibility allows us to do BODYATTACK™ with correct alignment and posture
• Tight hamstrings = poor posture, increased wear and tear on spine, increased risk of injury
HAMSTRINGFLEXIBILITY
Important to maintain correct pelvis stability and spine alignment
DRILL • Back against wall• 20x Kicks• Hands behind back – keep pressure on
LET’S PRACTISETHE CANCAN

TECHNIQUEWhat is the technical focus for
each track?• What is the track objective ? • What will you coach in
technique to achieve the objective?
SUMMARY
LOOK, SEE AND ADJUST YOUR TEACHING

IMPACTTHE HIGHER THE FORCES – THE GREATER THE MUSCLE DEMAND• Technique first – propulsions later• Sell the benefits• Cardiovascular system responds faster than musculoskeletal
system
RANGE OF MOTIONTHE BIGGER THE MOVES – THE MORE ENERGY REQUIRED• Reduce lower body moves• Reduce arm-lines• Reduce travel
DURATIONTHE LONGER YOU TRAIN – THE HARDER THE WORKOUT• Start with half a class• Start with 2 classes per week for 2 weeks• Gradually add on tracks• 6 to 8 weeks to do a full class
CLASSINTRODUCTIONS• Groups of 3 - Shorter than 90 seconds• A general welcome – reflecting the essence• A brief description of the class and the benefits achievable for all• Overview options to increase or decrease intensity based on their
fitness level and objectives
TEACHING TO ALL LEVELS
AT THE SAME TIME• Groups of 4 – teacher, beginner, intermediate, super fit• Teach Track 4 so all feel successful• Instructors provide feedback
