Jazzercise

I am here to break the stigma that comes with Jazzercise.
When I first heard of jazzercise, my parents were telling me about this dance/​aerobics class that was popular when they were my age… There was only one jazzercise studio in our town. I thought this was approaching extinction.
What I DIDN’T know was that jazzercise happens all over, without the need of a studio. They usually just rent out a space or use a public space to have their classes. Thank you entertainment coupon for sparking my search online for classes. There are actually classes almost every mile around this island.
Last night I attended Aura’s class in Waiau elementary. The participants range in age and body types, from their 20’s to their 60’s… from slim and fit to pumpkin sized. This class can be tailored to fit anyone’s goals. In fact, I was happy to say that this class is almost exactly like zumba except with more mainstream music. I opted for the higher intensity movements with each routine and definitely broke out in a sweat. It of course helped that there was zero air conditioning in this elementary school’s cafeteria.
A few things to note: you need a water bottle, a towel, a mat, and a pair of light weights.
I just wish they ran a special for a complimentary class for first timers. I think if more people just had the opportunity to try a class once, they would change their view of Jazzercise just like I have.

if you’re looking for a fun way to workout look no further! Aura is an energetic instructor– and she cues you into the next moves so you’re not lost! The music is great– songs from Beyonce, Michael Buble, christina Aguilera & Adele have been some of my favorites! The routines work your whole body out– starts with a warm up to get your body moving to getting your heart rate up then finally to a relaxing cool down! You feel so good when you’re finished!
I started jazzercise after I had my baby hoping to shed a little baby weight I still carried. You’ll find women of all different ages– and oh so friendly! (you won’t feel insecure or hear those gross grunts from guys here!)
So come on down to jazzercise Aiea! Bring a friend or meet new ones!
Added bonuses include promotions — attend a certain amount of classes in a certain amount of time and receive jazzercise items — t-​shirts, purses etc. Also there are monthly drawings. The gals also have yearly get-​togethers– such as Christmas parties and tea/​luncheons

Jazzercise is a fun way to relieve stress after a busy day at work. Routines are fairly easy to follow and music is current up to date. Class music is always changing and gives the whole body a great workout. Instructor is easy to understand and follow and everyone there is super friendly. :)
