edition.
Product Description
A handbook for the regular exerciser who wishes to know more about the diverse range of exercise to music (ETM) classes now available and the instructor who seeks a thorough grounding in all of the disciplines covered under the ETM umbrella. This manual reveals how effectively structured and safely-run sessions can contribute to total health-related fitness by enhancing not only cardio-vascular fitness but also flexibility, motor skills and muscle strength and endurance. "Aerobics" may be the general term for this kind of activity, but this provides an analysis of a number of different and diverse approaches to the traditional ETM class, including circuits, steps, hi/lo, body sculpt and stretch. Debbie Lawrence is the author of "Complete Guide to Exercise in Water". This book is an approved product of the Exercise Association.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Exercise to Music (Complete Guides) (Paperback)
I am a student studying to become a qualified teacher in exercise to music and had to purchase a informative book which could help me. When i bought this book i was very pleased as it contained everything needed for a teacher, student or even someone wanting to take exercise to music as a hobby. Debbie Laurence cleverly combined detailed theory about exercise to music with helpful and useful choreography that is fantasic to use in an actual class. This book is a great learning source and is worth every penny. If you are a teacher, student ect. this book is a must have. Another reason this is such a great book is because it is written by a fitness proffesional. Included in this book is advice on music choices, choreography and various programmes to induce in to an exercise to music class. This is the definitive practical handbook for anyone wanting a performance advantage.

Really good, but tries to cover too much,

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Exercise to Music (Complete Guides) (Paperback)
I bought this when qualifying as an ETM teacher last year. It's really good from an aerobics point of view, and was incredibly useful - lots of parallels with my training course (YMCA). However, having since qualified as a step instructor, and revisited the section for step - it's left me slightly concerned. Key teaching points are missed, and the choreography samples are confusing. I'm not sure that you could use this section to create a safe and effective step session, especially not one aimed at anything higher than complete beginners. Ditto for the weights sections - it's trying to cover a big subject in a small area, and doesn't quite get there. It's probably good as a general overview of what you should consider for each of those class types, and good as a reference if you already know what you're doing, but I'd be cautious of assuming that once you've read this book you'll be able to teach those class types. GREAT for aerobics and body-weight MSE. Shame it didn't stop there...

Very relevant to course,
By Amazon shopper (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Exercise to Music (Complete Guides) (Paperback)
I bought this book based on the good reviews before starting the YMCA Exercise to Music Instructor course and I am happy that I bought it once I was given the homework assignments. I have found it useful for learning teaching points and the names of moves/stretches.
