01. FINAL SONG 5:02 mins
COACHING TIPS
This song has a light, positive feel to engage
participants for the workout ahead. The aim of the
Warmup is to introduce many of the movements that
are in the workout to come. It is the ideal time to
introduce levels of intensity to ensure everyone in the
class is confident that they have a choice to work out
their way.

Simplicity and clarity with Layer 1 coaching is your


focus: naming the exercise, and using body-part and
direction cues so the class can follow successfully.
Practice your pre-cues to transition from one
movement to the next and prepare for seamless
coaching.

All 9 exercises have levels to coach. Role-modeling the


levels in addition to verbally coaching levels sets your
class up for success. This is also a great opportunity to
coach the benefits of the Warmup: warming, preparing
and mobilizing the body. Allow your body to shine
as you create a connection to you, the music and the
movements.

incredible training stimulus for upper body and core

fitter and stronger. Encourage your class to challenge
themselves whatever level they choose.

COACHING TIPS
First, each of the 3 moves – the Circular Shoulder
Combo, Circular Shoulder Combo with Row and
Shoulder Press, and Weighted Lunge – must be
coached in Layer 1 with precision and clarity to ensure
targets are clear.

Layer 2 cues focusing on stability and control will assist


participants in muscular feel and intensity. Including
Layer 2 cues of a strong squeeze between the shoulder
blades, pulling the back muscles down for stability and
bracing the core super strongly will provide a rock-solid
foundation to move the arms with control and strength
in the two shoulder combinations.

Cue the use of the back of the arms, activated when


the plates pull back, in the Weighted Lunge series.
Also, important is strong activation of the glutes
and thighs, and a soft landing once the Leg Lift and
Propulsion Leg Lift are added. These cues provide a
phenomenal platform for participants' safe movement
quality. Finally, ensure you are confident in coaching
the use of the weights and bands if you are offering
both options in your class.

LES MILLS TONE 1 © Les Mills International Ltd 2018


09. INTO DUST 3:57 mins
COACHING TIPS
This is a smooth building, musical piece which will lure
your class into working hard through the cardio peaks.
The propulsion opportunity in the Side Lunges creates
a peak in heart rate and the quick Throwing Fists
encourage a real freedom of movement. The simplicity
of the moves enables participants to transition from
"think" mode to "feel" mode and effective Layer 1
cues assist this shift.

Layer 2 cues that coach to use the legs to propel


upwards in the SIde Lunges but then ground the
feet and legs in the punches will boost intensity. The
Throwing Fists can be intensified with cues such as roll
through the shoulders; use your back and obliques;
use the groundedness of the lower body to punch and
let go. There is plenty of opportunity to use silence,
allowing the music to drive the workout and hooking
participants into the whole experience of this track.

The Firefly & Scorpion Press Combo provides a great


opportunity to train the trunk stabilizers, the posterior
chain, the shoulders, chest and triceps. Levels are
choreographed to meet the needs of everyone.
The challenge of being on the toes or decreasing
the intensity by removing the Tricep Pushup means
everyone gets what they need. Frequently remind
participants to squeeze the glutes, tighten the abs
and draw the shoulders back strongly because this
reinforces stability and control.
WITH BAND
As instructors, physically training your body to execute
all levels is something to strive for. When you become

Warmup block Warmup block
Cardio block Cardio block
Strength block Strength block
Core/Stretch block Cardio block
Core/Strength block
Aim for approximately 42 minutes of total
music time for both formats.

For a single peak format, your class will have 4 blocks;


the Warmup block – 2 tracks, the Cardio block –
choose 3-4 tracks, and the Strength and Core block
– choose 5 tracks. This makes up 10-11 tracks, but
add extra tracks if needed to reach approximately 42
minutes.

For a double peak format, your class will have 5 blocks.


These are the Warmup block – 2 tracks, the Cardio
block – choose 3 tracks, Strength block – choose 2
tracks and then your second Cardio block – choose 2
tracks. Finish it all off with Core/Stretch – choose 1-2
tracks. This all makes up 10-11 tracks, but add extra
tracks if needed to make up to around 42 minutes.

To create the 30-minute format of LES MILLS TONE,


you have the freedom to choose your tracks as long
as they fit the time. Just make sure you have a good
balance of training and choose the tracks that best suit
your class.

It's all about options and choice! You have the freedom
to mix and match tracks to enable you to create a
unique class for your participants. This allows you to
tailor the class to the people in front of you. This is
what LES MILLS TONE is all about! The only thing we
ask is that when mixing and matching the 45-minute
formats, you always remember to replace like for like.
For example, make sure you replace a cardio track with
another cardio track or a strength track with another
strength track. Be mindful of creating contrast in the
movements and music. Have fun and play around with
it!
