March Special

Each month, Jazzercise offers a new special on its website. This month’s online new student special is ZERO joining fees!

The savings can vary from location to location, but in Galt, you’ll save $30-$75, depending on the time commitment you sign up for. Nice!

To get the deal, you could print out the coupon from the Jazzercise.com website, but here at Galt Jazzercise, we like to save trees, so just mention you saw it, and you’ll get the deal!

Back to our regularly-scheduled program — ALMOST!

Kristine — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:54:04 +0000

This week resumes our regular class schedule:

Thursday: 4:15 PM, 5:45 PM

Notice the 5:45 AM classes are missing? That’s because we’ve only had one person attend a few of them! OK, so you aren’t interested in 5:45 AM class, so why not let me know what time slot you would like, and maybe we can add that one in!

Jazzerkamp Roundup

Kristine — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 02:12:53 +0000

Galt 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:

Day Two:

Day Three:

Day Four:

Day Five:

Look for a special Jr Jazzercise Halloween Night coming this fall (near Halloween, of course)!

Jazzercise instructor convention, day one

Kristine — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 13:26:25 +0000

Day 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!

Kristine — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 09:18:53 +0000

OK, 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

Kristine — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 22:46:24 +0000

(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.
