MUSIC IS THE BOSS 


An instructor’s ability to work well with music can make or break a group exercise 

class. Before you can work with music, you must understand it. Lesson 

number one: because your music is a fixed foundation, “The Music is the Boss!” 

From there, an instructor’s freedom to move within the music is endless. Let 

Christi teach you how to be “one” with your music; to comprehend the dynamics 

of measures, phrases, and frames, and to select music properly based on energy 

build, BPMs, and style. Special attention will also be given to learning the theory 

behind cross phrasing, up beat movements and down beat movements. 


F.I.T. ATHLETIC CONDITIONING: 

FUNCTIONAL INTEGRATED TRAINING 


Functional Integrated Training and Athletic Conditioning combines explosive 

movement with strength, agility, balance and quickness drills. This program 

develops integrated strength, core power and stabilization with flexibility using a 

medicine ball, dumbbells and a foam roller. The workout starts with an athletic 

warm up that concentrates on active and dynamic stretching to heat the body up 

and prepare the muscles and joints. Next you’ll workout on quickness with a 

series of drills that will stimulate the nervous system and improve foot speed.
