Feel it right

Where you should feel it, the one cue to remember, and quick fixes when you feel it somewhere else.

You should feel it inFull Body

Whole body moving with the music, breathing up — and having fun.

Key cue (the coach says it during the set)“Big moves, stay on the beat, smile.”

Tempo · On the beat

Feel it somewhere else? Fix it like this

  • Feel it in KneesKnee twinges on turns. Keep the knees soft and turn on the balls of the feet.
  • Barely felt itNot sweating yet? Make every move bigger and add arms.
  • Joint painSharp or joint pain is a stop sign: end this set, lower the weight, shorten the range — if it repeats, switch to an easier variation.

During a workout we ask after the first set where you felt it and give the fix right away — and remember it for next time.

Tips

  • Kick only as high as you can keep the standing knee soft and the back long; touching the knee is fine.
  • Turn the chest toward the kicking leg so the reach comes from the waist.

Common mistakes

  • Rounding the back and dropping the head to force the hand to the toes.

Breathing

Exhale on every kick and reach, inhale as you stand tall.
