What additional step helps ensure cues are effective at the start of each session?

• A. Extend Warm-Up
• B. Increase Resistance
• C. Recap Key Cues At The Start
• D. Use New Cues Every Time

Answer: (C)

Recapping key cues at the start is the way to prime learning and set clear expectations for the session. When you briefly review the essential cues—how to posture, where to align, the breathing pattern, and the timing of movements—you give the client a concrete reference point before they begin. This reinforces memory and helps the nervous system prepare for the work ahead, so they can move with better alignment and control from the very first exercise.

Starting with a quick recap also helps you gauge understanding. If a cue isn’t landing, you can adjust right away before the load or complexity increases, keeping safety and smooth technique as you progress. For new clients, it reduces confusion by establishing a shared language; for seasoned clients, it reinforces familiar cues and keeps form consistent across sessions.

Extending the warm-up is valuable, but it doesn’t directly ensure cues are understood or used correctly. Increasing resistance at the start adds demand before cues are reliably internalized and can disrupt learning and safety. Introducing new cues every time can overwhelm learners and break continuity; repeated, clear cues build automatic responses and better performance.
