DRILLS class is designed to mimic a sports practice The moves are simple and can be used at a variety of intensity levels. Remember, simplicity is key. One of the advantages of DRILLs is that it contains no choreography. The moves should be simple enough to be performed by any of your participants. The intensity comes from the amount of effort put in to the routine. The class follows a specific outline is broken up in to songs - each song has a specific objective.

The role of the instructor in a DRILLs class is that of a coach. This is true in every class, but is especially true in Drills Class. Make sure you are encouraging your participants to work at their highest potential, to take the breaks, and to drink lots of water.

You will teach Drills class by burning a CD containing 12 highly motivational popular songs.  The outline contains example music and choreography for each.

Songs typically contain 5 components, and these components correspond with the 5 'coachable' opportunities for each routine.

Intro - set the routine up, talk about the movements that will be performed and the objective behind them

Verse - Lower intensity movements. Allow participants to perform the movement while watching for mistakes that may lead to injury. Introduce low impact options, and higher intensity options.

Chorus/Drill - Higher intensity movement performed in conjunction with the chorus of the song. Tell participants how much time is left in the drill (show them the light at the end of the tunnel.) Encourage them to work at their maximum.

Instrumental break/Recovery - Encourage walking recovery. Say encouraging things about participants performance. Tell them what is coming next and how much time is left (estimate.)

Last Blast - Most routines will conclude with a minute or so where all of the movements are combined or something new is introduced. This is FUN - smile, laugh, work hard and finish strong. Tell them how much longer is left in each of the working portions so that they can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The important thing to note in the above 5 components is that they are all about the participant. Encourage the participant to do what is intended of them during that specific part of each song.
