Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: yes
Focus: external
Purpose: To increase heart rate and strengthen joints of the arm and shoulder

Pre-teach: Get them to do it with you. We are going to run for 6 then roll our arms down-to-the-ground. Let’s practice together. See if you can use your legs and take it down as low as you can for you on the down-to-the-ground.

First move: Love guns: Start them up with a little love gun in their hands, mysterious and cool, slowly walk around, look people in the eyes briefly as you walk by somebody. Your love gun is loaded, ready to fire.

Second move: Bang bang drop down – Keep this move cool and relaxed. When you hear the ‘bang bang’ in the music, shoot your love guns and then when you hear ‘shot me down’ – Gentle go down as low as you can possibly touching the floor if you really want to work. Do it again shoot again and drop down.
When the beat kicks in, start punching or shooting. Follow the music, on the beat, build it with the music. go go go go. Start shooting low and build it high with the music.

Third move: Run for 6, arm “down-to-the-ground” – Here we go, run 6 and roll “down-to-the-ground”. Change your direction each time. You can really open it up and run, put some energy into it. Use your whole body, bending your knees when you go down.
