Ready to Get RIPPED?
Can you say triple threat?!? Certified Turbo Kick Instructor. Certified Hip Hop Hustle Instructor. And NOW a certified R.I.P.P.E.D. instructor! Turbo Kick has always been my soul mate workout. I LOVE to dance, so Hip Hop Hustle was a no brainer. But R.I.P.P.E.D. adds my 3rd love – strength training.
R.I.P.P.E.D. is an acronym for: R – Resistance. I – Intervals. P – Power. P – Plyometrics. E- Endurance. D – Diet. It basically combines light weights/high reps, strength exercises using your own body weight with cardio intervals and agility training. Heavy weight lifting is great for building muscle, but using a lighter weight with lots of repetitions is what gives you the lean, defined look. So it’s a great compliment to my personal strength training workouts and the cardio formats I teach. I can already see my body responding just from practicing the choreography.
I’m not sure if or when I will add a regular RIPPED class to my teaching schedule since I already teach 3 classes a week and work full time, but I’m definitely looking forward to using it to sub strength training classes at the gym. I’m actually subbing a few classes in September, so I’m super excited about that!
If you’ve ever thought about becoming a group fitness instructor, I say GO FOR IT! It’s rewarding on so many levels. To find out more about getting certified to teach Turbo Kick or Hip Hop Hustle, go to www.TurboKick.com. To get certified to teach RIPPED visit www.rippedplanet.com.
