We love getting out in the community and showing off our dance moves so that everyone can see how easy and fun Jazzercise can be! We did a couple of songs mixed together Good Girl by Carrie Underwood and A Little Party Never Killed Nobody by Fergie.  What a great way to start out the day first an Express Class taught by 5 fab instructors then the demo. Check out the video on Westcott Jazzercise, Crossfield Jazzercise or Jazzercise Didsbury Facebook pages.

A Little Party Never Killed Nobody!

Loving the new routine set and the new routine by Fergie - A Little Party Never Killed Nobody! Doesn't Fergie look absolutely fab? (As per usual). I'm sure she has been following a workout schedule throughout her pregnancy. Did you know that it is highly recommended to stay active during pregnancy? In Jazzercise we are required to show you the lower impact modifications so that you can tone down your workout when needed during times of pregnancy, injury etc. While pregnant with my son, I Jazzercised all the way through and also did some extensive research into this. Here's are a few key points I learned about from my doctor and a combination of articles... - The first three months you can continue to exercise as normal - after that your uterus starts to expand and that is when you need to be more careful and begin to use some modifications. Contact sports are not recommended during any time of your pregnancy. - Discontinue exercise immediately and contact your physician if any of the following occur; Vaginal bleeding, Dizziness, Chest pain or unusual pain, Unusual shortness of breath, Premature labor or Fluid leaking from the vagina. - It is recommended to work out at a lower intensity so as to not over do it and not to get your temperature up too high or to the point where you are so out of breath and you can't talk throughout your workout. - Exercises in the supine (on your back) position should be avoided for longer than 3 minutes. Thats the whole vena cava thing where blood flow could be slowed to the baby while in that position. - It is also recommended to avoid or modify movements such as leg lifts or straight leg sit ups. This is because your lower back is carrying extra weight so your center of gravity is shifting. The other thing to be aware of is a hormone called relaxin will loosen the ligaments in your body so you could be more prone to injury if you are working out at too high of an intensity. - Abdominal work is recommended as it strengthen those pelvic floor muscles that have to carry all of that extra weight and the extra strength also helps during delivery. If you are expecting and have questions or would like more information please email Casey at cassandras55@hotmail.com and I would be happy to pass on the information package I have compiled.

Ryka Shoes

As Jazzercise is a high impact activity it is important to have the right foot wear for the job! These shoes are cute, stylish, affordable and built specifically for Jazzercise. They are light weight and made for the lateral side to side movements as opposed to the forward motion for running. So many of our girls are wearing them and loving them! Try a pair today! Please message us and check out our facebook pages Crossfield Jazzercise and Westcott Jazzercise for pricing and further info!

I'm back!

Well I started this blog way back in 2010 when I was in training to become a Jazzercise instructor but I never actually launched it. Now that I have been a guest blogger for The Happy Sprinkle and have even had the chance to interview the Founder and CEO of Jazzercise herself I thought I had better get this back up off the ground. Please check out my facebook pages Crossfield Jazzercise & Westcott Jazzercise for information on all of my classes. As a franchise owner I now am responsible for 7 classes between 2 locations (soon to be 9 classes this Sept) I have two instructors in training and am so very excited for this fall and all the exciting changes that will be happening. Stay tuned!!
