One great calorie burning exercise to try is jogging.  It's a higher impact exercise that requires the use of many large muscle groups to perform.  To burn at least 300 calories in a half an hour, you have to jog or run.  Aim for your pace to be around a 10-minute mile or 6 mph (if you're on the treadmill).  Keep in mind that the number of calories you burn during any type of exercise will depend on factors like your sex, age, weight, and effort level. Note that the faster your pace, the more calories you'll burn in that 30 minute time span. Although it's commonly believed that walking burns the same calories per mile as running, it'll take you more than 30 minutes to walk 3 to 4 miles. A high intensity aerobic exercise you can also try is a spin class.  These classes are notoriously challenging and will help you torch calories in a short amount of time.  The reason why a spin class is so good at burning calories is that it alternates between moderate and high intensities, requires you to use large muscle groups (like your legs) and keeps your heart rate elevated.  You may burn around 400 calories in 30 minutes of spinning depending on your age, weight, sex, and effort level. Note that you need to make sure you're working at a minimum of moderate intensity to reach this calorie goal.  This means keeping the resistance up and not taking many breaks. Many spin classes run for an hour. Check your gym’s class schedule to see if they offer any 30 minute classes. If you're more of a group exercise type of person, consider signing up for some aerobics classes.  Many of these are high in intensity and will help you meet your 300 calorie goal.  Look over the fitness class schedule at your gym.  See if there are any fitness classes that are designed to burn a lot of calories. For example, some high intensity Zumba, kick boxing, high intensity interval training (HIIT), circuit training or step aerobics classes will help you meet your calorie burn goal. Many of these classes can help you burn around 300 calories in 30 minutes.  Make sure you're working at a higher intensity. A fun exercise you can do is jumping rope.  Bring back childhood memories and torch about 300 calories in 30 minutes.  You might be surprised to know that jumping rope is a great calorie burn.  While you do need to work harder than a game of Double Dutch, it's a great form of exercise. In general, moderate to high intensity versions of jumping rope can help you burn about 350 calories in 30 minutes. But remember that the amount of calories you burn may be more or less depending on your weight, age, sex, and effort level. Increase the intensity or difficulty by changing speeds, crossing the rope in front of you or jumping on one leg. Some forms of swimming can also help you burn calories in a short amount of time.  Plus, these pool workouts are easier on your joints.  Swimming, like the rowing machine, recruits just about every major muscle group in your body.  This is why it's such a great exercise for higher calorie burns. In general, treading water or swimming laps may burn just around 300 calories in a half an hour.  However, if you do harder or more difficult strokes, the total calories you burn will increase.  For example, doing the butterfly stroke or crawl may burn around 330 calories in a half an hour. If you want to use a machine, the rowing machine might be a good option for you.  This may help you meet your 300 calorie goal.  One of the reasons that the rowing machine can help you burn so many calories is that it requires you to use large muscle groups. When you have more muscles engaged, your body needs to use more energy (or calories) to fuel those muscles. Remember that calories burned will depend on factors such as your age, weight, sex, and effort level. For example, in a 30-minute time period, a 30 year old 180 pound male working at 75% of his full capacity may burn about 316 calories.

Most application forms will offer all of the important information on how the audition process will work. Look for any statements about dress codes, essential supplies, rules, and prerequisites. Be sure to follow every rule listed on your application to the best of your ability. Reach out to a choreographer or staff member if you’re unsure about anything listed on the application, or would like more clarification. There may occasionally be requirements that aren’t listed on the application. Ask if you will need to bring any extra documentation, such as a dance resume or photos. Some audition staff will require you to send your information as part of your initial application, especially if the audition is private. Others will want you to bring your own information directly to the audition. Some auditions will require a dance resume as part of your audition package. Write one out if you do not have one already. A dance resume should list your professional experience, education and credentials, and outstanding achievements. You should also include your email address, phone number, and name so the staff can reach out to you after the audition. You may also want to attach a dance photo. The staff may request a dance photo from all auditioners, especially if the audition is open to everyone. Most dance shots are of the dancer in action, posing in a way that best shows off their form and technique. The audition staff can refer to this photo as they decide on callbacks. Load up a backpack or tote bag with a few essentials, such as water bottles, a spare pair of dance shoes, elastic hair bands, and basic first aid supplies. These items will then be readily available to you on the off chance you need them.

Go to https://www.bitgapp.com/eqmac/ in your computer's web browser. It's the grey button on the far-right side of the page. Once eqMac finishes downloading, do the following to install it:  Double-click the eqMac DMG file. Click and drag the eqMac icon onto the "Applications" folder.  Verify the installation if prompted. Follow any other on-screen instructions. It's the rocket-shaped icon in your Mac's Dock. It resembles a row of vertical sliders. Doing so will open eqMac in your Mac's menu bar.  You might have to scroll left or right to find the eqMac icon. You may also have to click Open after clicking the icon. It's the row of vertical sliders in the top-right side of the menu bar. A drop-down window will appear. In the drop-down menu, you'll see a row of numbered sliders. These sliders control the following:   Bass — Sliders labeled "32", "64", and "125" control your computer's bass.  Treble — Sliders labeled "500", "1K", "2K", "4K", "8K", and "16K" control your computer's treble.  Neutral — The slider labeled "250" should be left on the horizontal line. There are a couple of adjustments you may want to make:  To increase bass, drag the bass sliders above the horizontal "0" line and make sure the treble sliders are well below the line. To decrease bass, drag the bass sliders down toward the "0" line (or below it) and make sure the treble sliders are near the line (either above or below it). You'll likely have to experiment with your computer's sound after adjusting the sliders in order to fine-tune the bass. Click the floppy disk icon in the top-right corner of the menu, enter a name for your setting, and then click the floppy icon. This will allow you to select this preset even if you switch back to your computer's stock sound settings.
