πͺ Tell your participants to thoroughly check any equipment or household objects to make sure they are safe to use.
π Do a dress rehearsal before your first class - this will help you focus on your workout and not your equipment during your real classes. Start small and build up to bigger classes.
π€ΈββοΈ Make sure people can see all your movements. You don't want your torso being cut off during a burpee!
π Don't forget to provide people with instructions to join your online class, including the link (and password if necessary), with sufficient time for them to get setup and join.
π£ Be as vocal as possible during the class - reassure people that you are still there and their connection has not failed.
πββοΈ Give group or individual feedback on their effort levels and form - this will reinforce the idea of community.
π Don't forget to celebrate at the end of the workout - whoop, cheer, shout!
π€·ββοΈ Be prepared for mistakes to happen. But be prepared to grow from the experience.
π Above all, remember that at this difficult and uncertain time, you can offer an escape from the new normal. You are in a position of great power. Now go forth and help get active (virtually)!
