I’ve been exploring new ways to amp up the cardiovascular intensity in my aerobics classes, and I’d love to hear what techniques you all use. Incorporating interval training with fun music has been a game changer for me, especially when we do 30 seconds on, 15 seconds off for moves like jumping jacks and burpees. What rhythmic exercises bring that extra energy to your sessions?
But i’ve had success with dance breaks every few minutes. They really lift the energy — like your jumping jacks! 
Have you tried incorporating any specific songs that get everyone moving?
I love using quick, high-energy combos like squat jumps followed by lateral shuffles. It really keeps the heart rate up, especially when paired with a solid beat. Have you tried adding those to your lineup?
I totally get the dance breaks idea — i’ve found that combining high knees with a catchy track really keeps everyone moving… It’s like a party on the floor.
