Reason No. 745 Why You Don’t Let Your Son Play With Your Cell Phone While You’re Exercising

Because later in the week, when you’re looking for the gorgeous picture you took of two Jammin’ lovelies for a post, you find, oh, about 35 4-second videos like this:

Not kidding.

WHO taught him how to work the video?!

{Aren’t you all glad you had killer moves?! Lookin’ good, ladies!}

Dedication To …

… last night’s Jammers! For bringing all that fantastic energy to class. This should inspire you for your next BodyJam workout.

Warning: while I LOVE this tune and its old-school vibe, the video and some of the lyrics are not family-friendly, so go make the kiddos take out the recycling before clicking “play.”

A free latte goes out to the gal who

a. shows up to the next class in that crazy shorts outfit the “Ex” is prancing around in {go on, I dare ya} or

b. can repeat the “cat” solo verbatim.

Really, my treat!

Finally, a special

yeehaw!

to the lovely Kim, who was front and center for the first time co-teaching with Nancy last night.

Kim, you made it look SO easy! Hats off to you, girl.

Battle In The Bronx, Baby!

It’s here!

The latest BodyJam release—Battle in The Bronx—debuts at Kamate Fitness at the first class of the new session:

Tuesday night, 7 pm, at the High School Gym.

We’ll all be seeing these moves for the first time so if you haven’t already, now’s your chance to enroll. Come join us for a class that’s so much fun—with a group so welcoming you’ll quickly call them friends—it hardly feels like a workout.

Personally, I’ve got a Gingerbread Trifle, Toffee-Mocha mousse, and a box of Goobers that I need to work off, so I’m counting down the hours.

Want a little sneak peak at the moves? Here you go!

Psyched yet?!

If you’re a little nervous, I invite you to come and stand by me Tuesday night {Michelle = short chick, brown hair, blue eyes, rad purple shoelaces}.

I’ll be your workout buddy for the evening

and you’ll quickly see that it’s all about the enjoyment you get from getting your body moving, not necessarily immediate dance-accuracy, ladies. And you’ll laugh, trust me.

If you embrace only one other resolution in 2012—beyond finally putting yourself and your health as a top priority—let it be the belief that the journey itself is part of the reward … not just the finish line.

Start your journey now.
