Let's get physical... physical!

FYI... I'm posting this while watching all the kids that had to stay back from the reward trip because of "not good" conduct grades... why am I being punished? :)

I've decided that it's about dang time for me to start working out again. I used to be SO good about it. Chandle and I were always on top of it. Since my oh-so-fabulous Extreme Fitness membership has run out, I've been a total slacker.
So, Kat, Annie and I have decided to whip our booties into shape with Jazzercize. Yup, that's right. Spandex and all. Well, not from us, but I bet there will be someone in the workout gear a'la Jane Fonda.

Speaking of Jane Fonda- a little known fact about me is that I used to do Jane Fonda's workout with my mom when I was a kid. I had legwarmers. Yup, legwarmers. "And... hold.. two.. three... four." I knew all the moves by age 5. Ol' Jane really IS the coolest.
I also had Get in Shape Girl gear. Remember those? It came with some sort of equipment and a workout tape. I had the ribbon with the ball on the end to twirl around. It was totally awesome. I would put on the headband and just twirl my little heart out. I was fantastic. Picture a little chubby kid with 80s workout clothes goin' to town... That was me.
So, here we go... I'll let you know how Jazzercize goes. We're going bright and early in the morning. Ahhh.. yes. Have a good weekend, everyone. Wish me luck.

I had "Get in Shape Girl" stuff. LOVED it! I also had quite a collection of spandex. Black shorts with the neon strip down the side. You know what I'm talking about! 80s rocked! Anyhow, where are ya'll taking Jazzercise? They offer at a community center in Conway. I went a couple times a long time ago, and it was fun. We did modern dance moves though...stuff you could break out at the club.

I WAS OBSESSED with get in shape girl shit! i was a little chunk myself tho...dang mom always feeding me that real food!
:D
also- i did jazzercise in jr high cause my girl scout leader (oh god that sounds dorky) was in it and it was kinda cool. i hate my gym cause there are always 12 sweaty gross old men at the freeweights and 8 white trash ladies taking up the 5 elliptical machines...

Oh, God, I hope there's not too much dance stuff. I was hoping for some more step-type stuff. We'll see... YIKES!
It's just the free trial class, so I'm not committed to it just yet.

Can I come video it? Oh, and you forgot to tell everyone that you wore a leotard with those leg warmers. Awesome!

Come to Happy Hour at Sr. Tequila's on Rodney Parham Friday. Kat and I will be there by 4:30 hopefully.

I love Jazzercise. I did it back in highschool. I was so disappointed that I would be missing out on the new workout group until you said you are going in the morning. I've tried to work out in the AM, and have learned that its just not gonna happen. I'll stick with my pilates and latin dance videos in the afternoons.

Elizabeth Spann said...

Oh, it definitely won't NORMALLY be in the morning... it's the free class they're offering to suck us in.
You're MORE than welcome to join up with us- we'll be doing it in the evening after work, I'm sure. :)

Leah Billings said...

I'll definitely keep it in mind. Wed. are the only evenings I have free and it's hard to motivate myself to make the long drive. I can't wait to move back to LR!

Chandle said...

yeah for working out! I'm too uncoordinated to do jazzercise. Remember teh hip hop class fiasco?
