Regarding Power Music, they specialize in music for group exercise. After being a vidiot for 13 years or so, 2 years ago I got certified to teach PiYo and 6 months later I completed my Group Fitness instructor certification. Through that process I learned a lot about 32 count music and choreography, etc. For instance, step workouts are paced at about 125 bpm - as are most sections of PiYo, Les Mills Pump, etc. Land aerobics can vary from 120 to 150+. What this means to you and me is that I can take my favorite power music play list and mute any of my workouts and use my own playlist. For me, it makes it easy for me to just throw together a workout because no matter what song I put on, it follows a 32 count "phrase" so you can use the same moves to a different song and it will flow the same. This is why the remixes are somewhat different than the radio edits...songs as played on the radio do not usually follow a 32 count "phrase" and so it can make choreography tricky and you can't just sub in one radio edit for another. The 32 count phrase also make cueing intuitive. Once you are comfortable with it, you don't really have to count because you can just follow the flow of the music. I'm rambling. If you want to check them out, they have a free 30 day trial. My favorite compilations are their 80's hard rock step and one called "Appetite for Destruction" that I used to use when I was teaching Muscle Pump. And I swear, I don't get paid or get any free music from them. I wish.

Yesterday in the mail there was a yellow slip that said I needed to pick up something because "the item is too large to fit in your box." Could it be my Secret Santa gift? We shall see.
My budget was tight this year, and I could only afford one item for my giftee. Hope they enjoy it! My plan was to spend no more than $20 to $30. I will participate again next year, and hopefully will be able to buy more. I love being generous each holiday season, but with all that's happened to me this year (moving into a new renovated home, graduating college, job hunting), it was difficult to spend a lot.

Thank you to my secret Santa, Lori Brown (NYSkier)! I received some great presents and I am enjoying them tremendously! Lori sent me a yoga strap, which is long overdue, a copy of KCM's Amped Up Cardio, which I LOVE, and two great workout shirts which fit me perfectly. I wore one while I did the KCM workouts today, along with the socks that she gave me, which are nice quality and very comfy! She also sent a lovely card which features one of her paintings.
Thank you so much for my lovely presents! It was so exciting to receive them and I love every single one. Eva |
