When did you first begin Jazzercise?
I was invited to my first class in 1982 at the Skatetown on Kingston Pike. I have taken breaks from a "routine" for various reasons, but I always return to Jazzercise. I even took classes when I lived in England. Once it is in your blood, it stays with you. I can remember when I lived in San Diego, there was an aerobics class within walking distance of where I lived so I joined because of convenience. Great workout, but I remember thinking during class, "This isn't Jazzercise!".
What is your typical workout routine?
I don't have a fixed routine, but my goal is four classes a week right now if my work schedule allows.Over the past few months I have been using weekends to ride my bicycle to get ready for a long bike ride in Iowa this month.
What classes do you typically attend? 4:45 PM, 6:00 PM, and sometimes 7:00 PM. I love my Personal Touch class on Tuesdays at 7:00 PM.
What do you like most about your classes?
I think we have a great group of instructors who really care and encourage you to get the most out of the class. I also like the variety of class formats.
What is your favorite Jazzercise routine?
I really like "Dance with Me Tonight" by Olly Murs. And even older, "Flashdance".
What is it about Jazzercise that has kept you coming for so long?
It's fun...and the fastest hour of the day!!! Jazzercisers are great people and the sense of community and belonging make it more like a "social Event" than exercise, but I always leave knowing I have had a great physical and mental workout.
