Cardio Coach: Equipment-Based Group Fitness
Develop creative group-exercise classes that use the treadmill, elliptical trainer and stair climber.
By Jenny Graddy, MS




The popularity of equipment-based group-exercise cardio classes is on the rise. Customize your workouts to meet the needs of participants with different abilities and fitness levels. Learn how to cue correct technique for each piece of cardio equipment and to incorporate motivational coaching and strategies to improve each participant’s exercise performance and enhance class experience. Skillful coaching in a group-fitness setting is necessary to ensure safe activity and to create an environment that encourages success for all class members.







Course Objectives:
  • Define components of an equipment-based group-exercise workout for the
    treadmill, elliptical trainer and stair climber.
  • Demonstrate and cue proper exercise techniques on the treadmill, elliptical trainer and stair climber.
  • Assess exercise intensity using the perceived exertion scale, talk test and exercising heart rate.
  • Calculate target heart rate zone using the Karvonen formula.
  • Develop an equipment-based group-exercise class using a cardio coach workout
    template.
