I dont need to wear a HRM- need to educate on why. The why: it is the best.

They are too expensive (pro/consumer).The consumer needs to understandthe multiple uses. Its cheaper than a treadmill or elliptical and it hasmultiple uses.

Not accurate- usually this is because the watch was not inputted correctly orthe equipment is not worn correctly.

A manual self-check is an option but has a 33% margin for error

If you want to improve your fitness it is a necessary tool- WHY?Because it is the most accurate way to assess and monitor your

workout. It assesses which heart rate zone you are in. Calorie burn is

you worked off. Additionally many of the watches have other featureswhich assess fitness level and improvement. Also it is a greatmotivational tool.

We cant make people wear them but we can continue to educate andencourage them. Give those who wear the watch more attention otherswill see that this is a key tool of the program.

If you have some hand/eye coordination and are willing to trysomething new, Cardio Tennis will be an exciting way toexercise. You will not burden or hold back participants. That iswhy a strong coach is key to the program.

Cardio Tennis is not outcome based it is more performancebased.

It is based on play first, learn later. Initial reports share thatthose who start with Cardio Tennis pick up the game quicker and

get better faster because they are experience real lifemovements.

I do not pay for group exercise classes so why do Ihave to pay for Cardio Tennis? In a t ical fitness/tennis club environment the two de artments are

managed under two different budgets and Tennis professionals andFitness professionals get compensated differently. You need to

share that it is a different specialized training that requires moree ui ment and trainin . Or ou ma want to look at the lon termbenefits to your program (like a regular aerobic class) becausethese players when engaged and loving tennis will take morelessons.

Give Feedback Give Feedback -

their past perceptions and from coaches skill level or motivation.Cardio Classes can be highly effective from numbers of 6 to 10.However it is key the coach uses all training tools.

Complaints about the coach- again having a motivated and passionatecoach is a must. This needs to be an exciting class.

There was too much instruction- coaches must understand that thisis a fitness class to ical instruction in the form of feedback while dointhe drills is fine. However no mini-lessons that take participants out ofthere heart zones are allowed.

There is no instruction- educate the client.

-

tennis coaches must be experts and tweaking feeds / drills/ games toall levels. Another solution is to offer leveled Cardio Tennis Classes ie.4.0 level, Triathlon style, low intensity etc.

This class is about the workout, not the competition

More com laints and concerns

We always get that one individual who goofs it up for the restof the group (hard of hearing, does not follow directions well)

Put them in the back of the line so that they see what isgoing on.

You might have to verbally direct them more and use visuala s.

They might be over / under skilled or low experience orfitness challenged. You need to assess then educate.
