Hmmm...well I've been coming here for over a month now and I can definitely say that this is NOT your mother's jazzercise. Remember in the 80's...Jane Fonda wearing leotards and ankle warmers telling you to dance harder? Well this is a modern version of that. Here all the song's are the latest top 10 hits that you would hear on the radio while you're going to work. The routine isn't so complicated that those with 2 left feet can't handle...but it's tough enough that you will be sweating like a pig, groaning it hurts and burning some calories.
Here are the top reasons to join your local jazzercise class:
1. They're always coming up with new dance/exercise routines. So you're never bored or stuck in a rut thinking you got this because you've memorized it. You're constantly on your toes mentally and physically because they're constantly giving you something new.
2. It's a fun combination of cardio and strength training. Maybe I have ADHD...I dunno but I cannot stand running on a treadmill, elliptical machine or joining a cycling class. I get really bored with the monotony and it kind of reminds me of hamsters running on the wheel but with no where to go. Honey we're not hamsters! Just standing there and hitting the weights or machines, waiting for my turn in between steriod induced meatheads is also not appealing.
3. You get encouragement...the type of encouragement you would pay an arm and a leg for with a personal trainer. The instructor is up in the front watching everything you do and don't be surprised when she calls you out for slacking on a move or makes you push harder. That's what you pay her for...to push you.
4. The variety in instructors. You have different personalities and different approaches to a class. This again keeps things from getting boring and routine.
Each class is around $12 or you can pay for a yearly subscription which is $40 per month or a 6 month subscription which is $45 a month. There's a class 5 days a week and they're always at night except for saturday which is early in the morning...so you have no excuse not to attend because it'll be after work and school. You will also meet a nice group of ladies that are very encouraging and friendly and that's what you need when you're trying to be more healthy. Of course every jazzercise facility is different because this is a franchise...but it's an international franchise and definitely worth checking out. Men come and join too...no sexism here :-) read more
