Jazzerkamp Roundup
June 20th, 2009 2:12 amGalt Jazzercise’s first-ever Jazzerkamp was a huge success! Each day, 18 kids came for three hours and exercised, learned about nutrition, played games and did crafts. We even snuck in some yoga when things got a little out of hand! Many of our crafts, nutrition and physical activities came directly out of the Girl Scout Brownie Try-It handbook, so the three girl scouts we had at camp earned four Try-Its!
Video clips were shot each day. If you’d like to see them, they are here:
Day One:

Look for a special Jr Jazzercise Halloween Night coming this fall (near Halloween, of course)!
Summer On-the-Go attendance game starts June 1
May 31st, 2009 3:54 pmPartner up with a fellow Jazzerciser and the two of you could earn a very exclusive Galt Jazzercise handbag!
The rules: partners are groups of two. You and your partner have until July 31 to earn a combined total of 60 attendance points. Attendance points are given for each class you attend (and look out for special double point classes!). You and your partner can attend any combination of classes to get to 60: 30/30, 40/20, 10/50, etc. Winning partners will both receive a Galt Jazzercise handbag.
Here’s the handbag below! Why is it so exclusive? Well, first, Jazzercise completely sold out of the original promo bag before it even shipped! Then, the bags they offered as a substitute didn’t “excite” me very much. And then, the company that I found online that had cute bags sold out of theirs! So finally, I gave up — I made these bags!
Very exclusive indeed!
Good Day Sacramento!

Jazzercise instructor convention, day one
March 22nd, 2009 1:26 pmDay one of our statewide instructor meeting was filled with just that: meetings.
With the theme “Believe,” Judi, Shanna and the rest of the corporate management team inspired all of us to strive to give the best classes to our customers. Class owners were encouraged to follow the corporate business model for proven results, and we were all given a sneak peak of all the great promotions coming up this year. My favorite is a pink tote bag and cosmetic case that will be given to customers this summer in an attendance game.
Here’s some photos taken via iPhone from my table of Judi, Shanna and Young, and photos showing the morning shopping mayhem! We jazzer-instructors love our clothes!
Hello from my iphone!
March 17th, 2009 9:18 amOK, how cool is this that I can update this blog from my phone?
Oh the possibilities!
While I’m here, I want to send a big congrats out to Martha Fornes, who lost 5 percent of her body weight in February and won month one of our Jazz It Off challenge! Yay Martha!
And here’s a lovely test picture, taken by my iPhone and added to this post!
Sneak Greens Into Your Diet
February 20th, 2008 10:46 pm(CARLSBAD, CA) – Spinach in brownies, sweet potatoes in grilled cheese sandwiches, and avocado in chocolate pudding? According to Jessica Seinfeld, wife of comedian Jerry Seinfeld, these are just a few of the options available to parents who want to sneak a few vegetables into their children’s diets. Ms. Seinfeld’s bestseller, Deceptively Delicious, is just one of the many modern cookbooks making headlines for incorporating healthy foods into popular family favorites.
The evidence is undeniable that vegetables are the way to go for weight loss, disease-fighting properties, and overall health and wellness. But it’s not always easy to get enough greens into your daily regimen, especially in today’s fast-paced culture. If you’re looking to give the green light to more veggies in your daily diet, try a few of these tips suggested by Judi Sheppard Missett, founder and CEO of Jazzercise, Inc.
- Try veggie finger foods. In our fast-food culture, it seems that the real “fast foods,” fruits and vegetables that just need a rinse in the kitchen sink, are virtually non-existent in most people’s diets. Try replacing your usual finger foods with some greens. Wash some celery, paste on a teaspoon of peanut butter, and enjoy!
- Add vegetables to your favorite stand-bys. Most pastas and soups are good candidates for a few veggie toss-ins. Include grated or chopped veggies, such as spinach, in meatloaf and casseroles.
- Set boundaries on your dinner plate. Use half of your plate for vegetables and the other half for meat and starches.
- Keep veggies handy. Once each week, cut-up some vegetables and place them in a see-through container in your refrigerator. Try cucumber slices or broccoli florettes.
- Order a veggie pizza on nights when you just can’t brave the kitchen.
- Eat salad as your main dish once or twice per week. Just go easy on the dressing, which can pack a serious calorie punch.
- Add vegetables into your smoothies. Blend a half-cup of romaine lettuce or a stalk of celery into your usual fruit smoothie. You will hardly notice a difference in the taste.
- Allow your children to help clean, peel, and cut-up the vegetables. They are more likely to eat what they have prepared themselves.
If the above-listed tasks seem daunting, then don’t pressure yourself to do everything at once. Incorporate just one tip each week. Before you know it, you’ll be sneaking more greens into your diet than Popeye himself.
