Joe Herrera

This will be a few paragraphs that will briefly describe the instructor his qualifications and lead to their bio page. From each of the instructors I will need about 2 and a half to three pages of material on them self that they would like to have on this page and the bio page also. I have started writing the class pages and have enough material to complete them. I have already finished the layout and text for the cardio kickboxing class. Take a look at the way the cardio kickboxing page is laid out if you like the layout we will keep it for all of the classes. I believe there is room on each class page for six videos. I have ones I got off YouTube holding their place in the page. We have two options when it comes to these videos the first would be to use video shot by me or I have software that will turn still images into flash style video that will work also. However if we use regular video we can upload it
