Call me crazy, and you wouldn't be alone, but I've been at this Wii exergaming business since 2007. That's, well, I have to go get my calculater, but that's a long time.  Yes, the Wii U is out and yes, no one is talking about the Wii console, and yes, I know you have one that is sadly collecting dust. Why else would you be tuning into this show?  PendaGoddess turned 60 years old and is still flying high and kicking butt. Virtual Fitness Wii FAB, a comprehensive program of Wii exergaming, is still evolving and refining techniques and training curricula. I'm going to talk about some new games I purchased recently. Tune in to find out which ones or I guess you can just look at the slide show.  If this is your first time listening in, welcome. This show is geared to group fitness professionals and is an ongoing effort to inform and recruit fitness instructors to train in Wii exergaming. Make money training Wii exergaming teams! Yay!  

Greetings! If you've been following the saga of the Wii Balance Board then you will want to tune in to this segment. I actually speak to a Nintendo Customer Service representatitive.

Questions asked and answered Does Nintendo repair Balance Boards?How much does it cost?What's the process?What did I miss when I was troubleshooting the Balance Board?What happens if your Balance Board cannot be repaired?How to spell my name and my email address. Even though I'm disappointed that my Balance Board has to be repaired, I'm okay with packaging the Balance Board and sending it in. Will, of course, keep you posted. In case you are wondering, I purchased the Wii Fit Plus Balance Board accessory package at Burlington Coat Factory. Less than $20! Connect with me: @pendagoddess Wii Fitness Examiner on Facebook

Since yesterday, I have been unable to get my Balance Board working correctly.  Have you ever tried to weigh yourself and kept getting an error code telling you to just stand still? I kept getting these messages as I tried to weigh myself. This short segment describes how I tried to correct the problem and didn't succeed. Yet, I still managed to get my workout done yesterday and today with a malfunctioning Balance Board. This show includes: steps to troubleshoot your Balance Board suggestions for workouts with Wii Fit Plus even when your Balance Board is not working properly. In the podcast I mention that I will include several links: Virtual Fitness Wii FAB stepping Virtual Fitness Wii FAB running Virtual Fitness Wii FAB hula hoop Don't judge me.

A range of activities offered included massages, a movie theater to watch old sitcoms while eating popcorn,  a golfing instruction station, a room to play board games and more.

Greetings all! Hope you have gotten your Wii on today. I sure have. I wanted to share a review I wrote on a book I received: Teach Math with the Wii.

Because of extenuating circumstances, I am unable to host my BTR show until further notice. Thankfully, Annamarie agreed to host the show today and share with our listeners more information on the ins and outs of the business of group fitness.

*delayed start, mic was on mute. my bad* Sure it's your business. But, do you remember why you got into this business? I do. I chose to be a Group Fitness Professional Instructor because I love to dance. All day. Every day. When I discovered that I could get paid and get my dance groove on, I was ecstatic! Fitness for fun and profit Listening to Annamarie share her story yesterday, I am reminded on how I lost my focus on fun and fitness and invited stress and more stress into my passion of teaching group fitness classes. How much money was I making? How many more classes can I teach? Oooh, my body hurts, but I can't stop now. What new format do I have to learn to stay competitive? What new specialty format can I learn to command more pay for the same length of time? Etc. The stressful thoughts were slowly poisoning my initially joyful journey into the fitness profession. No-role Role Model It's stressful believing that you have to be perfect as a fitness professional and that means (you fill in the list). Annamarie never stopped teaching throughout her weight gain, kudos to her! She was still benefiting physically, despite gaining weight. Group Fitness Professional Instructor's are not role models for 'the perfect body'. We are role models of varying levels of fitness. And the fitness industry is wise to welcome every body as a teacher, embodying the principle that every body needs to move, every body needs exercise. It's about fun When you stop having fun in the business of fitness, then it's time to step back and reassess how you are 'doing' the business of fitness. That's how I developed the Group Fitness Team Training Model. Check out my website to learn more. In the flow, PendaGoddess

If you've checked out Annamarie's Facebook page, you will see some startling before and after pictures. Today, she will share her story with weight gain and loss and how it affected her career as a fitness instructor. Naked gym Did you know Spain has introduced a gym for nudies? Yeah. Would you go work out in the nude? Body image and ego go hand in hand in the fitness business. How accepting are we of others and ourselves when we feel we are 'fat'? How does it affect you? Fitness is more than the outside As fitness professionals, we know that it is more important what is going on inside our bodies than what might be going on on the outside. You can be fit at any age, any size, with any illness or chronic medical condition. Fitness starts and ends within. Do you care what other people think? If you are outer-focused and waiting on others to approve of you or applaud you, then you are depriving yourself of your power. You are the only one that needs to approve and applaud you. Have you done that today? Chat room open Join PendaGoddess in the chat room. You must register to chat. It's quick and easy. And free.

Since this is my public 'verbal journal', I'd like to share a bit about my own journey into the fitness industry. I hope what I share will inspire you to commit to your own fitness journey. Every body is a star Each one of us has our own unique physical body with its innate capabilities and possibilities. How far you develop your body is a personal choice and commitment. Commit I've been a BTR show host since 2007, but that doesn't mean I've been broadcasting all that time. Since I've been recently broadcasting regularly, I'm seeing immediate benefits. Same with my body; the more regularly I'm moving, the more I'm commiting to a healthy, balanced, joyful lifestyle. Group Fitness is key  inspiring me to move. Get paid to move It's a no brainer. Why not get fit as a professional? Get paid to get fit. That will keep your attention and energy focused. Create a fitness lifestyle What does a professional fitness lifestyle look like? It can look many ways. That's why I've developed Group Fitness Team Training. For me, this is the way I can maintain my physical activity levels, stay in the business of group fitness, and keep my body healthy and strong. Tips I've got lots of tips and not just for fitness. My tip for today: "Teach what you have to learn. Learn what you have to teach." Wii Fitness Examiner MindBody Group Fitness Arts

Group Fitness Professional Instructors' (GFPI's) classes are generally open to the public. That means anybody and any body can join the class. So, what if you are facing a room with differently-abled bodies, as is almost certainly the case? How do you teach every body with the proper modifications? Emphasizing Function A blogpost entitled Emphasizing Function written by the NCPAD discusses the fact that "that any person can experience peaks and valleys in health, and therefore any person is prone to experiencing some kind of disability. It shifts the focus from what caused a disability to the impact that it has on the person." What does that mean for Group Fitness Professional Instructors? Join in the convo. Meet you in the chatroom. Love to hear your comments.

The National Center on Physical Activity and Disability published this article on their website: Clarifying the Role of Physical Activity on Weight Loss, written by Christine Pellegrini. Christine asserts that physical activity "It is possible to lose weight by solely exercising and not changing your diet; however, it would take more exercise than most individuals have time to do each week and would take longer than most people hope." Good news! This is such good news for the Group Fitness Professional Instructor. We can focus on fitness in our classes. We don't have to work out at level 10 intensity. And we are here for the goals of progressing fitness levels, improving coordination, cultivating rhythm, increasing strength, and endurance. And how about it's all just for fun. That's how I feel, it's all just for fun- it's just fun with benefits such as all the above. If you need a little inspiration to move today, tune in to the show.

If you listened to the show last week, you'll know Annamarie House brings expert insight into the industry of Group Fitness and Professional Group Fitness Instructors. Learn about the many facets of the profession of Group Fitness with Annamarie. Calls welcome and chatroom open. Contact Annamarie on her Facebook page and website. About Annamarie I have been a group exercise instructor for 22 years now and counting..... My passion is dance and I have created my own dance cardio class called Tyme 2 GoGo which incorporates strip teaze, belly dance and funk all in one. I was a member of the NIKE Rockstar Dance Team three times. I am ACE certified and also Hayward State Health and Fitness institute certified. I have a aqua cd out called Aquatic Workout which is designed so that you play it and you follow the routine to get a great workout. You could also use it to do a land low impact class if you do not have access to a pool. I am trained in a variety of classes which includes strength training, step, interval, bootcamp, salsa, stripteaze, hip hop,TKB and aqua. I am very passionate about what I do and just want to help people reach their goals. I coach cheerleading and do the tumbling and conditioning for the teams. I would really like to get out there and help the youth since they really have a problem with their weight and lack of exercise. They do move they just need a little more coaching to see that they can acheive things that they set out to do. If I can help one child see how important it is to workout and eat right and they implement that in their own life than I feel like I have accomplished a lot. We need to take care of the children and teach them how to take care of themselves before it is too late.

Group Fitness Professional Instructors (GFPI's) use the body as a tool for income. Just like professional athletes, we rely on the body to function at peak performance levels, consistently, over an extended period of time. That's why you can tell if an instructor is in this business as a hobby or as a career. A GFPI knows she has to take care of her body to thrive in this business of fitness! This show is my pitch to you to join the profession. We need more instructors. We need new instructors. We need to innovate. We need you!

This verbal journal has been talking recently about the professional fitness niche - Group Fitness. Group Fitness classes require trained instructors who  provide groups a movement experience that is harmonized, synchronized and synergized, consistently, everytime. Since my discovery of the Wii and over these 100+ shows I've recorded, I've been obsessed with integrating the Wii into the Group Fitness niche. The result is Virtual Fitness Wii FAB (For Absolute Beginners) - a Wii-designed Group Fitness Format. Yes, you can use one Wii to lead any-sized group in a Group Fitness Format. Rhythmic movement is the key to Wii and it's critical to a good workout and score! in many of the fitness games. So, today I'm going to tell you about becoming a Virtual Fitness Wii FAB Group Fitness Professional Instructor. Any body can be one. You need to have Wii though, because you have to put in your practice time. This is a brand new format, so come on and get in on the ground floor. Join me, won't you? PJ's okay.

Today I'd like to chat about what it takes for a Group Fitness Professional Instructor to get her trademarked group fitness format into gyms, etc. Many GFPI's, after years in the business, have the experience and creative desire to introduce her own specialty format. But how do you get it out there? This is really how the idea of a new fitness business model came to me. I wanted to make money teaching fewer classes for more money and train instructors at the same time. It seemed like I was just wasting energy, mentoring someone in my class to the point of certification, but not following through with a class for them. Not to mention, I was missing opportunities after opportunities to brand my teaching style. You know, the first thing an instructor does when she creates a format is run out and get it trademarked or patented. How can you trademark movement? Choreography? And why not welcome the competition? It can only mean that your format is getting popular. Of course, the point is to make an income off of this format you created. Listen in to hear more. Call-ins welcome and chat room open.

Today I am pleased to welcome Walter Aguilar of Volo Innovations to talk about this studio management software created by fitness professionals for the fitness profession. The great thing about this software is its adaptability in tracking any type or size fitness business model, from the solopreneur to the full-sized gym or private personal training studio. Volo can even be adapted to track a new fitness business model like mine, Group Fitness Team Training. I'm signing up to try it out. Listen, if you are serious about staying in the business of fitness, then make sure you can afford to. Track your income and expenses. Make sure your business doesn't bankrupt you before you get it off the ground. Keep your overhead low. Volo is affordable, even for those low-budget businesses run by entrepreneurial philanthropists (yours truly). Hey, Volo is having a contest and giving away an iPad 2. Yay! Check out their website and like their Facebook Page. Call-in or join us in the chat room.

The Group Fitness industry is in flux at this very moment. So much energy is flowing. Did you catch passionate and energetic Annamarie on Tuesday? She has graciously agreed to be Tuesdays Guest Host. You can be a Guest Host as well. You want to try, let's set up an interview. I'd love to hear about your fitness journey, how it has transformed you and your lifestyle, what your passion is, what your mission is and all that stuff. It's all about collaboration and sharing and working less and playing more. Less stress and a balanced approach to your fitness regime as well as your classes. MindBody Group Fitness Arts Foundation is the sponsor of Virtual Fitness Wii FAB. The mission of this foundation is to recruit, train, nurture and promote Group Fitness Professional Instructors (GFPI's). Here's what the team at MindBody Group Fitness Arts offers: speciality formats, team training, income while training, flexible training and performance schedules, increased income while teaching, branding, duplicable business model, creatively evolving supportive community. And so much more. So I sound like a commercial, but I'm excited. I'm ready to re-enter the playing field of group fitness. There is a great demand for GFPI's and we need people to step up to the plate and commit to loving on themselves with some fun physical activity and to share the power of community. We are the nurses in the fitness field. We care for every body. Chat room open and call-ins welcome.

When I got into the business of Group Fitness, believe me, I still had a 9 to 5 job. It just evolved from being 'just for the fun of it' to 'making Group Fitness a career and business'. And what are the choices now for the Group Fitness Professional Instructor in 2011 and beyond? What do you want them to be? Personally, to continue as a Group Fitness Professional Instructor as I age, I have designed a model I tailored to feet my needs. It had to work with where I am in my life now - physically for sure. I've given up the kickboxing and traded in the salsaerobics for Tai Chi and Qigong. And the Wii, of course. I've been suffering from the little known BuBS - Beat up Body Syndrome. I hurt all over all the time, most days. I remember one of my clients saying to me, "I live in pain" and I heard "I live in Payne." And I'm thinking "Illinois, where is Payne" and almost asked before I realized what she was really saying. Hahaha! I don't live in pain, I generally release it and listen to my body more carefully. Pain does get your attention, doesn't it? But you know, you don't have to push past or through pain. That's definitely how I did it and I admit to doing it the HARD way! Now, I'm ready to do it the fun and collaborative way. Not only is it time for a new fitness model, but a new business model for the business of fitness. Join in the discussion. Call or chat in the chat room.

What is it like to be entering the business of fitness as a personal trainer? We'll meet Tisha Barnes who is in the beginning years of providing personal training services.

If you listened to the show last week, you'll know Annamarie House brings expert insight into the industry of Group Fitness and Professional Group Fitness Instructors. Annamarie spent some time recently with what she calls "new talent" entering the group fitness profession. Cueing skills, she says, are lacking. A successful group fitness class is a well-execueded class - period. If you cannot cue how are your followers going to be in step with you? Instead, they will be stumbling after you. Group Fitness Professional Instructors (PI's) not only have to learn new formats, but learn how to teach new formats and cue participants who are at various levels of fitness. Sounds like fun? Then you may be harboring a secret desire to become a Group Fitness Professional Instructor! Tune in to learn more! This is scheduled to be a recurring segment so please, tune in live and call-in with your questions. Chat room open.
