This book would not be possible without my amazing wife, Monica, who not only taught me how to teach group fitness but also has provided the support, guidance, and encouragement that have allowed me to flourish as an educator; I love you, thank you for putting up with me. To my daughters, Parker and Ryan, thank you for the opportunity to study and learn more about human movement. I love you both more than words can say.
