Are you presenting your virtual fitness classes with the wrong emphasis?
If you want your participants to repeat your workouts on-demand or you want to simply give your content more shelf-life you need to deliver in a way that makes the workout the priority.
Often instructors teaching a session virtually for the first time put a heavy emphasis on education instead of the movement experience.
But no one exercises to be educated primarily and be made to feel like they’re doing it for the first time when they’re not. They exercise because they want to lose themselves in the experience.
Here’s a checklist of things to avoid.
> Overly long introductions explaining ‘what you’re going to do and why’. Instead, save it for micro explanations when you’re doing key exercises that require attention.
> Constant talking. If you’re always talking, people tune out. They can’t decipher what’s important and what’s not. You need to think before you speak to pace your coaching. Let cues land and allow people to respond.
> Presenting using the future tense “what we’re going to do next is…”. Instead coach in the present tense and thin the virtual veil so your audience feels like you’re in the moment together.
