Does anyone Jazzercise?

I Zumba...love it. Just got WiiFit for X-mas and it let's me log a variety of "METS" from walking the dogs to zumba/jazzercise.

Using the Activity Log, I can choose from 3 types of activities ranging from low impact, med, & high and the time invested. In turn, it'll give me calories burned, graph my results, and along with my BMI and weight, I can see the big picture.

Hope this helps.

I don't jazzercise ...... but it's what I call 'working out' - it's my "catch-all" phrase in place of using "working out" . It could be anything, circuits, weights, aerobics, yoga, run, etc. I'll text my wife "jazzercising today, be home X"


I didn't realize it still existed or was a term still used.

interested in Zumba.... tell me more about it!!

I do! I wear a Polar heart rate monitor and it tracks my heart rate as well as calories burned. I love it and would recommend it to anyone as it's perfect for any exercise program or sport. I wear it for so many activities I do.

I love Jazzercise! And my mom and I do it as a mother-daughter activity, lol

We go twice a week, and then I do other exercise 2-3 times per week (right now I'm working through C25K).

But I definitely recommend Jazzercise, it sounds kinda dorky, but it's really fun (and might I say that I have never sweat as much as I have than in some of those classes! Ok, the hot room didn't help...but still!)

I used to go Jazzercise classes back in the dark ages when EVERYONE was doing it. I never hear about it anymore, only about Zumba!! But I used to love Jazzercise, 6 days a week lol LOVED all the music, soooooo many ppl though yikes

Have fun!:flowerforyou:

I got a temporary pass for $20 to go to Jazzercise for a month to try it out.

Those of you who are doing this, is it really "dancy?" Can a newbie hang in there or is it all choreographed?

Also, I have a torn ligament in my knee and have always had issues with excessive lateral movement. I plan on wearing my light knee brace, but hope that I can do the routines.

Any info would be great! :flowerforyou:

I am also a Certified Jazzercise Instructor and love it! I have been Jazzercizing for over 10 years and it is a greet workout. No matter what workout you chose to do, you get out what you put into it!! Try it out if you haven't yet. The common misconception is that Kenny G plays his saxophone in the corner of the stage as I sweat with my leotard and leg warmers on....not even close!

I used to Jazzercise about 8 years ago and quit because it cut into kid time to much. I went back on 7/22/12 and I have only missed 4 days of the last 16 days!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! An hour a day for me is not much to ask of my family. My kids are almost all teens and can fend for themselves if they absolutely have to. I've arranged rides to places and I do the take home duty.

My excuses were endless...too much time from the family, not good dinners because I was always in a hurry, people will laugh at me because I'm uncoordinated, my clothes look awful. WHO CARES?! Most of the women in the classes are just like me. They aren't there judging me, and even if they are I don't care! Not this time!! I'm there for me because I need to feel and look better. I need to do this for me. I'm loving it and if you're thinking about it, you need to go and give it a try!! It's so fun and whether you have rhythm or not doesn't even matter. The instructors are usually counting and coaching along the way, making it easy for those of us that don't have any beat to our feet. Please try it and see what you think!!

I'm a former Jazzercise instructor of 13 years, and now I am an avid student, try to get to four classes a week. It has helped me to whittle off 12 pounds so far. I don't think there is a better and more fun cardio/strength training/ stretching class anywhere. Also, MFP has an accurate calorie category, so just put it in you search engine for exercise and you will see that you burn nearly 600 calories an hour. And anyone can do it. No matter where you go in the country, you can always find a class, and it has totally kept up with the times. Unfortunately, they don't advertise nationally or everyone would be doing it. Have fun!

I heard from an instructor that the notes will be up soon. I think next Friday. I love it when we get new stuff. I like Shakira too and it's been a while since we've had some of her stuff.
