The more students learn regarding health and fitness, the more they will appreciate how important it is to regularly participate in your aerobics program. They will also apply the information you give them to their workouts, enabling them to see better results which, in turn, motivates them to stick with the program.
Your students need to learn about appropriate exercise intensity, caloric expenditure, perceived exertion, duration, warm-up, cool-down, exercise safety, myths and misconceptions, injury prevention, nutrition and the latest in fitness research. Instructors can pass out informational handouts and offer “fit tips” at the beginning of class or during the cool down.
Ask the instructors to summarize what everyone has achieved at the end of the workout, review which muscles have been worked and go over the learning points. Besides educating your students, you will help them feel a stronger sense of accomplishment by having taken your classes.
