Jazzercise is a new addition to my schedule this year. With Noelle off to Kindergarten, Sadie and I head off to a Jazzercise class 3 mornings a week. I had no idea what I was getting into...I'm sure it's obvious to everyone in my class.
It's a combination of so many things that I'm SO not qualified to do:
Aerobics: let see I took 1 aerobics class for 1 month in college...that would have been 13 years ago. Fortunately I have retained some of the lingo so I sort of have a clue when the instructor shouts that the next move is "grapevine".
Kickboxing: I once owned a video that I tried for about a month when Noelle was a baby...that would have been 5 years ago. Again, it's nice to know what an "uppercut" and a "roundhouse" are for those kickboxing moments in Jazzercise.
Jazz dance: there's just not much to say about this - I've never done it and I have no natural ability to do it. However I burn a lot of calories trying to figure it out!
Pilates: I have no idea what it is, but at least it doesn't make me sweat as much as the other stuff.
If you want a real laugh, check out this link from a 1980's Jazzercise class (No, I DO NOT wear a ridiculous leotard like they do in the video). If you want to join the humbling experince of trying to make it through 1 hour of marching, lunging, punching, grapevining, toning and sweating, come join me!

Okay, so I'm not sure if your post made me want or not want to do Jazzercise:) No, I think I really want to do it. I hope to start maybe this week or next...we'll see how life goes though!
Yay!!! So happy to have you there! :) Candance come and join us! )
oops...I mean Candace! :)
are you going to Florence Jazzercise?
I really enjoyed it when I visited with Paulina, but the drive is a bummer.
That is precisely why Jazzercise gets made fun of! It is so great in real life though :) and I am thankful we don't have to wear leotards!!!
