Call Me Cardio Queen

I'm working on my "teaching routine" for my new gig as an aerobics instructor. Next week on Tuesday I'll teach my first ever class, subbing for another teacher. It's a "hi-lo" class, which means basically traditional "floor" aerobics, like line dancing, only cooler. Today I worked out the moves, based on a routine I learned many years ago. But what about the music? It takes a lot to figure that out if you're doing it yourself instead of buying the "Ready made" mixes available out there. I don't like the ready mades cause they often are "covers" and not the original artist. So today I've been practicing teaching my aerobics class to imaginary students, (and they got it on the first or second try, max, except for one imaginary chick at the back of the class who kept giving me 'tude, rolling her eyes and acting too cool for me. I hope she goes to another imaginary class from now on.) And I've made a mix of cool music that works with the routine. But the first two mixes I made didn't quite work, based on beats per minute or other things, like the burning program didn't "crossfade" the songs together and there was a 2 second gap between them-- and two seconds is a long time for silence in an aerobics class.

Phew. I'm tired! I worked out my regular 45 minutes of exercise, then I did it all again practicing to my imaginary class. I'm going to be soooo buff when I get this gig going every week. :)
