Dear Jazzercise Fam, First of all, I have missed you so much! I visited the center the other day during Kaylle's class and then again during Heidi's and saw a lot of new faces! I can't wait to meet you all! What an exciting time for our Jazzercise Nicholasville family! I wanted to send a little note to let you know why I've been missing since the end of January. As many of you know, Stevie and I did IVF to have our little Ella (now 4 yrs old), and in January we had a similar procedure done to try and have another child. AND...IT WORKED! I am currently 11 weeks pregnant! It has been an emotional journey and a difficult road so far, but worth it all! I miss whooping it and shaking it, but will hopefully be back in the next few weeks once I am cleared by my Doctors. Hugs, Jenny

To demonstrate this kind of growth after four decades in the fitness industry speaks volumes to the quality and sustainability of the Jazzercise program and we in Nicholasville are proud to be a part of this company as we celebrate our 10th year! In a recent San Diego Business Journal article about Jazzercise, San Diego State University management professor Congcong Zhen states, "It is rare for a franchise, especially a fitness franchise, to survive so long-and yet do so well. Only one-third of all businesses survive the first ten years," she said. "By still being in business forty-one years, they have done extremely well." Thanks to all of you who have helped to make Jazzercise and Jazzercise Nicholasville successful. Be sure to join us all year for our 10 year anniversary celebrations leading up to our 10 year anniversary party on October 16th!
Jazz News New Report Shows How You Get Addicted to Diet Soda Surveys have found that people who drink diet beverages average more than 26 ounces per day, and some drink far more. About 3 percent of diet-soda drinkers have at least four daily. Some may be addicted to caffeine, but that doesn't explain those who prefer caffeine-free varieties. Experts say that people can become both psychologically and physically dependent on it. They may get addicted to diet soda because they associate it with a certain activity or behavior. And research also suggests that the artificial sweeteners in diet soda may prompt people to drink more, because they aren't as satisfying. CNN reports: "In other words, artificial sweeteners may spur drinkers -- or their brains -- to keep chasing a 'high' that diet soda keeps forever just out of reach ... Whether you feel dependent or not, drinking too much diet soda might be risky in the long run. In recent years, habitual diet-soda consumption has been linked to an increased risk of low bone mineral density in women, type 2 diabetes, and stroke. What's more, a growing body of research suggests that excessive diet soda intake may actually encourage weight gain." Source: Posted by Dr. Mercola at www.mercola.com , March 15, 2011
