Guest guest Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I would love any ideas too for music and speed drills for me to practice before I get trained for teaching spin. Just got an email that a spot has opened up for teaching spin where I work. Man, wish I had taken the class back in sept when they offered it! Would love to teach spin, but don't know how to "mix it up".TeenaSent from my iPhone hey.. send me cool drill and/music ideas... always looking esp. since I am teaching 2 classes a week now... until decTo: exercisevideos Sent: Wednesday, November 2, 2011 8:16 PMSubject: Re: spin class wed i had a lot of speed drills today, too!! stacey > > I need to get back to working out. yea work is insanely busy but I need to partition off at least 20 min a day for something > today I taught spin.. fun class lots of speed drills > judy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Yeah I've been going to spin for a couple of months now and love it. I have been taking it from one particular instructor, so I am trying to go to other classes and get ideas from other instructors. We all have a different style. I hear comments like that when I sub for someone. I just shake it off like u did. I usually agree with them and tell them that yes, I'm not as good as the regular instructor, but I'm learning andante one day i will be. )Thanks for your advice!TeenaSent from my iPhone The instructor for the water exercise class where I live had me teach her classes a few Fridays so that she could have a long weekend. She didn't really "teach" me how to do it, I just knew from being in her classes and I would go home and write down all of the exercises she did. After a couple times I did pretty good...although two of her friends told me "It's hard to teach the class as good as Rene." I just took their comment with a grain of salt since they're her friends but really it was RUDE of them since I was doing Rene a favor! Can you sit in any other spin classes? I would do that if I wanted to teach a class...you can pick up great ideas that way and see how different instructors run their classes.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011  I sub for other WW leaders often and what I've found is that sometimes people just get attached to a certain instructor and, of course, compare the sub to their regular leader. Sometimes I measure up, sometimes I don't (and for some people, no one else ever will measure up). I tell people to not be afraid to experiment by going to different meetings and seeing if they click better with a certain leader's style or even a certain meeting group. We all might be teaching basically the same thing but we all have different ways of doing it and the group dynamics differ based on the participants too so someone who loves going to my meetings might like one of them better than the other because of the group's regular population.
