Ah the precue. Every great instructor uses some form of precueing to help participants be successful. Instructors who precue help participants get in more reps, feel prepared for the movement ahead, and earn trust from their crowd. Not only this, but precueing is a necessity if the instructor's goal (it is) is to focus energy outward rather than being in your own head trying to remember what comes next. Ok, breathe.
