Kettle Bells

Time sure has a way of getting away from us. My life is so busy with the business and Zumba that my only real day off is Sunday anymore. I am working some half days since hiring my sister, Cheri, however, now we do Zumba on them. I am not complaining, I truly love my life. This morning I had time,finally, to go downstairs and do my kettle bell workout. I love still fitting in my own exercise at home even with Zumba and Curves.

That 30 minute cardio/strength with the 5 pounds Kettle bells is a real workout. Spring is coming and I need to fit in more time with this.

I have also recently become a beachbody coach and I am using Shakeology for either breakfast or a snack daily and that is really great.

This is my year to reach the health and fitness goals along with my business goals. Chalenes 30 day push challenge has really helped to bring alot of perspective to what I want to accomplish.

Zumba Classes


Who would ever have thought? In the past year I have become a small business owner, a licensed Zumba instructor and am now participating in things around our community quite regularly. I am reading articles and books on running a business, becoming a better leader, fitness and nutrition and I am learning daily. God really does work in mysterious ways and I know that if it was not due to my becoming so ill 6 years ago and being lifeflighted, my interest in health, fitness and nutrition would never have developed.

At this stage of my life I finally feel like I am were I belong. Buying Curves is like coming home after being gone for years. It is a shame it has taken me 55 years to learn that, but better late than never.

I never really intended to become a business owner, it was not really a dream of mine, however, I have always liked the idea of a career more than a job, and this is definately that. Yesterday I was at the business expo and made quite a few contacts. We gave away free weeks to all the ladies that wanted them.

Next month we are having a 24 hour fundraiser for Relay for Life, that should be quite interesting, we are asking for donations for a Chinese Auction and of course cash donations to help our team. There will be a lot going on and we will be open to the public, should be quite a fun, interesting time. Come on down and visit us the weekend of March 18 and 19.

Zumba in the Circuit

Wow! The past year has been awesome! I am a business owner, and now a licensed Zumba Instructor and member of Zin. I taught my first class last night. We did two Curves Circuit with Zumba Fitness classes back to back! What a riot that was! The first class was full and very loud and they really worked it! We had tons of fun, the second class was supposed to have been full but a few people called that they were sick. It was a bit quieter, but still fun. I had thought I would be sore today, but am not.

this past year has just been amazing for me. I have doubled the size of the business, I absolutely love the women, the job and being able to help others get healthy and fit. We are going to be teaching Zumba classes every Thursday night and now we are going to add Tuesday mornings also.

I did forget a few of the steps, but just added some other ones in. I will keep getting better at this! We loved it and everyone had a great time, I am sure the ladies will be talking about it for quite a while!
