Jazzercise Mat & Tube Order If you would like to order your own black foam Jazzercise mat and/or a green extube, I will be placing an order on February 18th. Mats are $25 and tubes are $10 which includes tax and shipping. Jazzercise mats are the best around and provide comfort and safety when doing floor work and you don't have to share sweat with you fellow classmates. Having your own tubes saves the integrity of the tube and allows it to last longer. Please make checks payable to Sarah Painter.

Jazzercise Testimony: Krista Cawood I have always struggled with weight loss. I lose weight and then gain it back plus some. I finally decided that something needed to change, so I started jazzercising at the Nicholasville location and have been doing so since January 2009. With the encouragement and inspiration of my fellow jazzercisers, I have lost 63lbs, gone from a pant size 26/28 to buying my first pair of size 18's (wooohooo), which I have not been able to fit into in years. I have no intentions of stopping there. I love Jazzercise because it has allowed me to become healthier, and on top of that, I have made some great friends who have pushed me to reach my goals. My energy and self-confidence have sky rocketed. Thanks so much for the support that everyone has given me, and stay tuned for the next chapter.

Childcare Room Sick Policy Just wanted to remind moms about our childcare room sick policy. It is the same as prescribed by the school system. Please do not bring your child to Jazzercise until he/she has been fever free for 24 hrs WITHOUT medication. Please keep them away for 24 hours after throwing up or until they have been on a prescribed antibiotic for a full 24 hours. The room is small, there are lots of children, and sickness is spread easily especially this time of year. If the babysitter feels that your child is not well, she may choose to retrieve you from class both for the child's benefit and for the benefit of others who may be exposed. Thank you so much for your cooperation.

Nutrition Myths Busted (CARLSBAD, CA) – Everybody is giving nutrition advice these days. The clerk at your local drugstore, the radio DJ, and your friends on Facebook all have their favorite tips when it comes to healthy eating. The problem is that much of the nutrition advice we get from those around us is inaccurate. Jazzercise Founder and CEO Judi Sheppard Missett busts five of the most common nutrition myths. Take a look at these myths to help you separate fact from fiction.

Myth #1 – Calories consumed at night are worse than those consumed during the day. While it’s beneficial to spread out your calories throughout the day, calories consumed in the evening are no different than those ingested earlier in the day. A calorie is a calorie. Whether you eat it in the morning, afternoon, or evening, the calorie content of a food doesn’t change. What’s really important is how many calories you consume overall throughout each day. Myth #2 – Carbs make you fat. Sure, refined carbs such as doughnuts, sweetened cereal, and white bread are bad for you. But when you cut carbs from your diet, don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Good carbs, including whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, provide your body with essential vitamins and minerals. And don’t forget that carbs are a vital fuel for your workout as well. Myth #3 – All fats are bad. Your body needs fat to help you absorb nutrients. “Good fats” are even known for decreasing cholesterol levels and fighting off heart disease. So, avoiding fats altogether is counterproductive to your health. Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats (aka “good fats”) are found in olive oil, nuts, and avocados. Just stay away from saturated and trans fats, which are linked to obesity, heart disease, and other health maladies. Myth #4 – Steer clear of eggs. Eggs have received a bad rap in recent years. Egg yolks do have cholesterol, but an occasional egg is not going to single-handedly clog your arteries. In fact, the Harvard School of Public Health found no significant link between eating eggs and heart disease. The real culprits for increasing your blood cholesterol are saturated and trans fats, not eggs. Most dietitians agree that eating several eggs per week is perfectly safe. Additionally, one study at Saint Louis University reports that individuals who included eggs with their breakfast consumed 160 fewer calories throughout the remainder of the day than their egg-less counterparts. Myth #5 – An occasional fast cleanses your body of toxins. Your body already has a filtering system. It’s called your liver and kidneys. These organs work efficiently to weed-out toxins from your body on a regular basis. Juice fasts – or all types of fasts, for that matter – are unnecessary and potentially harmful. The Mayo Clinic warns that detox diets can lead to dehydration, fatigue, dizziness, and nausea.
