The week of Dec. 8-12:

• NIGHT CLASSES WILL BE CANCELLED.
• SATURDAY CLASS WILL BE HELD AT 9 AM AT THE DANCE CENTER.

Beginning the week of Dec. 15 through the end of the year:

If you are a former member of Better Body’s and would like to join us for Jazzercise, we are extending a special offer for you: FREE classes for December when you sign up for January 2009 membership!

To get to the Galt Dance Center from Better Body’s:

• Head west down C Street.
• Turn right on 7th Street.
• Turn left on B Street.
• The Galt Dance Center will be on your right-hand side.

Here’s the mapquest of the Dance Center.

Sign up for Galt Jazzercise this month for $32 and get December free!

This offer is valid for new customers who sign up on EFT (electronic fund transfer) at Galt Jazzercise. You’ll pay November’s class pass of $32, get December’s classes for free, and your EFT will start January 2009 at the regular $32 rate.

We offer 8 weekly classes (that’s 32 monthly classes!) to choose from. Come to as many of them as you like when you are on EFT! That’s only $1 per class!

To sign up, simply come a little early to one of the classes (see our schedule) ready to workout and fill out a couple forms and you’re set!

Not sure Jazzercise is for you? Your first class is free, so please come to a class of your choice and try it out! 

This is a great time to sign up, too, because we are running a canvas shopper bag promotion! Here’s how it works:

Buddy up with a fellow classmate (or bring a friend with you when you sign up!). When the two of you have attended a total of 36 classes (any combination) you’ll both get a canvas shopper bag! If you and your buddy attend three classes a week, you’ll both have your bag in three weeks! Not bad, huh?

And, if you bring a friend to class and they also sign up on EFT, you’ll receive a free gift, too!

With these promotions, combined with a great deal, why wait to come to sign up? Come in today!!

Yes, that’s right folks. The $26 introductory price is no longer available (hey, you had four months to take advantage of me, I mean it!).

The current price is $32 per month on EFT. The joining fee is charged one time only and it’s $25. BUT, you can take advantage of the online coupon at jazzercise.com for $20 off and one week free!

The EFT price is the best pricing available. If you do not want to pay via EFT, we do offer a two-month pass for $84.

Both the EFT ticket and the two month ticket give you access to all classes in Galt — that’s 8 a week, or only $1 per class on EFT!

As always, your first class is free, so come to a class and decide for yourself!

Galt Jazzercise is going strong!

We now have a permanent location for our evening classes — Better Bodys Health Club at 909 C Street.

You do not have to be a member of the club to take the Jazzercise classes. The Jazzercise classes are completely independent of the rest of the gym. Here’s the new class times:

• Mondays at 6 pm
• Tuesdays at 4 pm
• Wednesdays at 6 pm
• Thursdays at 4 pm
• Saturdays at 9 am

 The morning classes remain at the Galt Dance Center, 611 B Street. The morning classes are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9 am

Students who sign up at either location can take ALL classes for the one low price of $26 per month on EFT. That’s about $1 per class!

Questions? Email me!

I am very happy to report that, effective March 17, I will be adding evening classes to the Galt Jazzercise lineup! The new schedule is as follows:

• Mondays: 6 pm
• Thursdays: 6 pm
• Saturdays: 9 am

The location is Miss Diane’s Learning Center, 12911 Midway Ave. From Twin Cities Road, go west, over the railroad tracks, and turn left on Midway Ave, which is right before the Sheriff’s Training Center.

NOTE: Only the two evening classes are at Miss Diane’s Learning Center. The Saturday morning class is at the Galt Dance Center, 611 B Street. Morning classes are still Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays (and now Saturdays) at 9 am at the Galt Dance Center. Students who have signed up for EFT are welcome at all classes for the same low price.

You’ll want to bring a mat and/or towel, and wear comfortable clothing to workout (read: sweat!) in. Don’t forget comfortable, supportive exercise shoes and a bottle of water!

(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.
