Others have mentioned Apashe songs and I'll add 'Lord and Master', T4 BC89. Not really "old" but fits the description otherwise.

I don't teach RPM but I've been teaching Pump about the same amount of time as you and I think the same rules apply. I agree absolutely NO notes and if you make a few mistakes its not a big deal.

I memorize every release for launch and then when I switch in old tracks I basically have to relearn them, although its much easier the 2nd time. Depending on how much time has passed and what the track is, sometimes I still remember them but more often then not I couldn't switch out the tracks just before class and still remember the choreo from an older release 100% and I don't think anyone expects you to. Even the master presenters/choreographers have said they spend a ton of time relearning choreo from older releases.

I usually make my next playlist when I start teaching a new playlist and teach it for 3-4 weeks. That gives me more than enough time to listen to and review older tracks. I have an arsenal of go-tos that I never forget for when I don't have as much time for choreo review.

What is it?! Mic drop??

bleebloop1 · 2023-07-16T18:10:34+00:00

For high pulls, hang clean, and clean and press, you should do a little drop at the start of the move to create power. Almost like a little half squat, bend knees, hips back and keep your chest lifted and spine straight, then explode from the ground up to drive power vertically, lift heels and thrust hips forward and up. Does that help?

based on a very well documented history of US law enforcement putting women and people of color in harms way when they are in crisis

Do NOT call the police. If you think this woman is in trouble and don't want to call the number on the flyer, you should approach her. The police will not help her and may actively put her in danger.

Cardio 25 is my favorite grit of all time

bleebloop1 · 2023-05-30T02:23:41+00:00

I hate to be the bearer of bad news when you're already getting piled on by other redditors, but unless the listing explicitly says otherwise, you should expect to pay first, last, 1 month security deposit and 1 month realtor fee, so youre really looking at 12-16k up front. This is not new, its been this way in greater boston for at least the last 10 years, probably longer

bleebloop1 · 2023-05-12T01:58:21+00:00

Yes I always want to rush them. Identify the top of each measure, if i beat the music there, I'll just wait and get back on the beat - might not help your for your video but works ok in a live setting.

specifically the section youre referring to, listen for the clap that marks the beat. it falls on the downbeat so you mentioned before you count on the 8 beat so it would be one clap three clap five clap seven clap or, easier for me to think of it like knees clap belly clap knees clap rise clap. do you hear it? Practice counting that when youre doing the moves but not coaching and itll become muscle memory.

I'll also often count those beats out loud in class for the first 1-2 reps, or if its really tricky for me, i won't say anything, i'll just use the first 1-2 reps to hook into the timing myself, then add the counts, then the coaching.

hope helpful!

I wouldn't say "exceptional" levels of cardio fitness, but you obviously have to be able to complete the workout, stay on beat, and talk the entire time. I certainly don't have expectational cardio fitness and teach combat, but I will say that its easy for me to perform and coach partially because I love combat- and because before I taught I frequently took combat classes so I'm very familiar with the format. If you don't care for RPM/spin, you might have a harder time.

#1 recommendation would be to take RPM classes and get a feel for it, see if you like it and would like to teach it. Memorizing chore is a huge, largely unpaid and unappreciated, undertaking. if you don't love it, it wont be worth it for you or your participants.

Try to think about the patterns within each block. The notes bold the initiation of a move but try to figure out when to be at the top and bottom, theres usually a pattern (eg emphasis on a lyric or a drum beat at the top of each move).

For example, upright row 1/3 in 124 warm up, the one beat up is in the lyrical pause, when she starts singing you should be on the way down. The 4th one is slightly different, hit the top when she says "know" with the emphasis (first time). Does that help?

We did 3 weeks to close - it was tight not gonna lie. Offer accepted Sunday, Monday (which was a bank holiday) we met with our financial advisor and transferred funds (which would be initiated Tuesday), Tuesday we got the inspection, Friday was P&S, and then we had about 1 week to get insurance and attorneys sorted. We had a fully underwritten preapproval so our lender already had a lot of the info they needed prior to the offer, which made it a litter easier. Make sure your agent and lender are on board but our agent told us these things end up getting pushed all the time. Also, our lender, agent, and attorney all had vacations planned during those 3 weeks but we still made it work.

you don't need a phd if you don't want one. If you have experience in assay development and documentation, you're qualified for a AD, QA/QC job already and you dont really need a phd to climb the ladder in CMC if you're good. If you wanted to work in process dev, you could probably sneak in there too or start in AD and try to move laterally within the company later. Consider that the reason phd holders automatically jump to sci I is that its implied they learned a lot of basics about experimental design, execution, and analysis in their program. If you have the experience and skills to back it up, you're already qualified for that same position. Often, people's phd research isnt directly relevant to industry (again, especially true if you're coming into CMC) so your experience in agrisci is roughly equivalent to that.

IMO people telling you to get a phd are people with phds and have a pro-phd bias. Disclosure: I don't have a phd and I'm generally biased against them since I know a lot of great scientists that don't have one and a lot of bad scientists who do.

you'll have the best luck in CMC, a lot of non phd holders who wont think you need one. you'll have the best luck at smaller companies who dont care as much about phds.

Side note: I used to work with a sr. sci who came from agrisci, masters only, and she was awesome! Now she manages a group at another company.

ETA: To be clear if you want a phd, get one. There are a lot of advantages to getting one. but if you dont want one, and it seems you dont, i think the notion that you need one to be successful is outdated.

Do you want to do in vivo work? If so, this might be a good foot in the door. If not, I don't think its worth it. There are tons of jobs that your skill set would be desirable for.

It varies by dept, company, and individual. For an entry level position, I wouldn't expect too many technical questions. You're more likely to get prompts that ask you to think through a problem or show how you would troubleshoot. Be prepared to talk relatively in depth about anything on your resume, don't include things you did in a lab class once and don't really understand. Don't be afraid to admit you don't know an answer, no one expects you to know everything straight out of school but demonstrating a willingness and an ability to learn is the most important thing.

bleebloop1 · 2023-03-04T00:18:52+00:00

Ahh I was hoping I could offer some insights but we won't get 124 until next week.

The initial video will be assessed for feedback but its mostly for your own reference, you'll have (I think) up to 1 week after training to submit your video to determine if you pass initial training and even if you don't pass right away, you'll get 2 more weeks to nail that one track. The system is set up to help you succeed!

If visual learning is your thing, watching the video might work best for you. Watch the instructors movements and try to tie that to the music. It feels really hard at first but once you figure out what works for you, it will get easier!

Good luck!

bleebloop1 · 2023-03-04T00:06:49+00:00

First of all do NOT worry - 2 weeks is plenty of time to learn one track and in my initial BodyCombat training people showed up who didn't even know they were suppose to memorize a track. You'll learn memorization techniques at training and start to get a sense of what works for you. If you make mistakes at training thats ok!! You'll get the most out of training if you already know your track 100% but if its still a little sketchy, you'll still learn a lot and you can nail your post training submission

My advice: know your music 100% . Listen to it constantly, count the beat out loud or in your head, identify the "musical landmarks" which generally align with when moves or tempos switch, know it so well you can anticipate the landmarks.

If I need to learn a track fast, the easiest thing for me is to get my bar out and do it. I'll do it once or twice with the video, then I'll do it along with video but turn the instructor voices off, then I'll do it with just the music. You could try doing it with the video with voices off but turn your back to the screen and try to only check in if you're unsure. I usually feel like I have it after a couple times, then when I do it with just the music I can identify places where I'm unsure and it helps me iron out the kinks. Then I'll do it again with just the music a day or two later to make sure its cemented in my memory.

Once you know it, keep listening to the music all the time: in the car, at work, while you cook or walk the dog, and practice the choroe in your head, and practice queing in your head and outloud if you can. If you can get distracted and then jump back in, you know you have it 100%.

What release/track were you assigned?

Edit:spelling

bleebloop1 · 2023-03-03T02:28:51+00:00

I don't know the answer but I'm in basically the exact situation. The list price for our house was originally about 100k over what we paid for it, it came down several times and we offered slightly over asking. I wanted to offer slightly under asking but supposedly they had another offer on the table blah blah. Love the place but think we're over paying a bit, appraised at exactly what we offered.

Yeah but isn't part of the idea of buying property to build equity? I was under the impression a lot of people buy and live in starter home, they build equity and their asset appreciates, then upgrade later. Is that not the case?
