information on ace and affaa kickbox certs

HI
Could someone give me some info? How long should you practice cue and setting up a workout before you attempt certification? I wish there was a workshop to teach cueing and help new people get started!!I guess affa wants a 8 minute demo so i guess you better be good by the time you go there?

I was certified in '99 for group fitness; ridiculously easy - quite scary to be honest. Basically, anyone can teach whether they can count to music or not. Granted, it takes practice, but, hopefully AFAA's cleaned up their training. So, I'm sure you'll be fine during your exam.

Find an instructor you like and ask for pointers, or ask them to review your 8 minute demo. AND/OR, break down your 8-minute demo like this:

2 min. - warm/stretch
4 min. - your workout, u know, 4 combos per 1 minute
2 min. - cool down, light stretches

Find music you love, and practice practice practice. Delve into it, absorb it, be yourself, you'll get it.

Good luck.

It is true, practice is the key,,, I can not tell you enough, you have to memorize your combos, counting is important, cuing, and being clear.
