Get your dance fitness gear on and Jazzercise!

There's no limit to your fitness options! Exercise can be fun!

Dance and Jazzercise your way into those skinny jeans! It's true, exercise can actually be enjoyable. I find one of the best ways to keep fit and make time for fitness is to have a fun activity. If it's the same old boring routine or hamster wheel running on the treadmill, I personally would have absolutely no motivation whatsoever to exercise!

So let's throw it back this Thursday and check out the fitness trend from 1969: Jazzercise. Created by Judi Sheppard Misset in the 60's , Jazzercise combines jazz and dance aerobics, yoga, Pilates, resistance training, and kickboxng movements to create a total body workout that's fun and yields results. Just as in any good workout, jazzercise can help increase your cardiovascular endurance, strength and flexibility giving you those "feel good" vibes one can get after a successful workout!

If you ask me, dancing sounds like a lot more fun than a machine in the gym with sports TV on the overhead! Check out this entertaining demonstration by Steven and Chris with fitness expert Assata McKenzie: Jazzercise the Calories Away and learn more from the Jazzercise website!

Did you know that exercise does more than slim your figure?!

Read on to discover 24 fabulous benefits of getting your exercise groove on!

We often talk about how exercise will help you control those cravings and lose the weight you want to lose. But there really is so much more to exercise than that! Exercise comes with many benefits, both physical and mental! For example, it makes you strong, physically yes but also mentally. Think about it: when it would be so much easier to just plop yourself onto the couch after work or stay bundled up in blankets early in the morning, and you stll get yourself up and moving? Mental strength!

In my internet searchings for interesting tidbits to share, I came across an article at BC Living, 24 Awesome Benefits of Exercise. Here are 24 awesome (like they said) reasons why we should all get at the very least, 30 minutes of exercise three times a week. If you are like me and looking for some motivation, this article will be a big help!

Until tomorrow everyone! Get your exercise on!

Sculpt Your Thighs From Every Angle!

Guess what?! You can workout your inner thighs without even stepping into a gym!

Last week, my temporary one month pass to the gym expired. In all that one month, I went to the gym once for a Zumba class. Clearly, the salesman who tried to entice me to sign up for a gym membership at the end of my trial month had no idea who he was dealing with. I take my poor attendance as a sign: I am not meant to be a gym mouse!

I would much rather exercise at home or do fun activities such as a dancing and sports! But sometimes, the weather or schedules get in the way of that and I just need a workout. That's when I look for things I can do at home.

Even though summer is gone and there's no need for shorts, keep your legs toned and rock your skinny jeans ladies! Shape Magazine has shared their Top 10 NEW Exercises for Thinner Thighs

Keep fit everyone! I'm looking forward to trying these exercises out tonight in the comfort of my home!
