HOW TO USE THESE FLASHCARDS

1) You can see the teacher begins with the first flashcard by saying:
Exercise Name
Adjust Springs & Equipment
Describe Start Position
Cue Basic Movement

Now, the teacher has the students moving and generally doing the exercise. So she flips to any of the other flashcards.

2) Give One Student a Personal Correction
The teacher looks at her students and offers one individual an way to refine her movement. "Control your ribs." Clients love to feel like they are getting attention. Plus as a new teacher it's hard to remember to look at the clients when your trying to do so many other things.

3) Cue Goal of the Exercise
Why are you having the students do this exercise? What is the point?
Telling students what the goal is will help them know where to focus their attention.

4) Cue Muscles: Stabilizers and Mobilizers
What should be stabilizing? What should be mobilizing?
Reminding client what where they should be feeling the work will help them pay attention to those harder to feel muscles.

5) Cue Pelvic Alignment
It is always a good thing to remind client to check their pelvic alignment. Often the difference between them feeling an exercise and not feeling anything is as simple as reminding them to use the abs to stabilize their pelvis in neutral or imprint.

6) Cue A Principle
The instructor in the video cues Breathing Principle. Anytime you remind client to focus on a principle, you get a better quality of movement.

Good luck!
