Situation: Every tuesday morning there is a community post-natal fitness class run in Girawheen for women 6weeks post-partum onwards. It is a circuit based program with 3 levels of difficulty to cater for all and the women are able to bring their child along.
Task: Today my task was to run the aerobic warm-up for ten minutes at the beginning of the class.
Action: My warm-up consisted of several aerobic components to two tracks of music, it was important to count in the next progression so the transition between steps were fluid.
Result: I found it hard to get in time with the music intially because I had not familiarised myself with the music sufficiently. Therefore the first few steps were out of time and the women found it hard to keep in rhythm. This resulted in a few having to stop so they could get back in time with the music. The second track of music had a much clearer beat so I managed to get back on track and lead the class.
Evaluation: On reflection the first part of my routine was out of time and this made it hard for the women to effectively warm up. This was due to my poor preparation as I didn't realise that the first track had a confusing beat and as a result it looked bad on my part as I was unable to lead the class sufficiently.
Strategies: In future I will practice my routine with the music thoroughly beforehand so I am familiar with the beat and I can easily keep in rhythm. In doing this I will be able to effectively lead the other women in the warmup as they will be able to follow my lead and keep in time resulting in a full and efficient warm-up.
