Desert Palms starting next week is having Zumba Love Week. What them means is...if you bring anyone with you that is not a member they pay $5 for the class and then if they like it and sign up for a membership they will waive all the fees. Cool Hu! Also we are having a 2 hour class on Wednesday from 7-9pm the Marti and I are teaching. We will have prizes to give out and 2 hours worth of tons of fun! Same deal goes for your friends or family. Bring them along for $5 and then have them sign up and they get all the fees waived! You don't want to miss this, I promise! Marti and I have not taught together since October and we miss it and we have so much fun teaching together. Member or not, come and join us.
Zumba around town - Don't forget that WCCC is having there Club Zumba on Thursday night Feb. 4th from 7-9pm. The cost is $5. It has been themed as a rockin 80's party so come dressed up in your best workout gear from the 80's. I personally have found the sweetest outfit to wear! It is worth coming just to see it. April will be the head lady and I will be her side kick helper person. I am doing two routines that should bring back lots of fun memories from that decade.
On to our next challenge-
Did you skip any of your breakfasts this last week? I hope by eating a good breakfast you felt the benefits throughout the day. Make sure you continue to do so every morning. Make sure you always get a good amount of protien first thing in the morning. Which leads me to my next challenge...
Challenge for week #5 - You need to get 50-60 grams of protein a day.
The more protein you eat the less hungry you will feel throughout the day. Protein feeds your muscles and when you are working out your muscles need a lot of protien. Some ideas of ways to get your protein.. eggs, nuts, peanut butter (small amount), lean meats, low fat cottage cheese, yogurt, protein shakes and protein bars. Pack yourself a protein snack so when you have the erge to eat then grab for some protien first before carbs! Good Luck!

Week #4 with updates
Alright, for all you night Zumba shakers I personally sat down with the manager at Desert Palms and ordered the lights! YEA! We hope to have them installed within the next 2 weeks. I think this is going to be great for us and the gym. Desert Palms will be the only gym in town that will offer the party atmosphere at night. If we can get a lot more people coming then we can add more classes. That is up to all of you to make that happen.
Rec Center ladies - don't forget that we have added a Monday 10:30 am and a Tuesday 5:30 pm. They are both going good so keep up the numbers!
Zumba around town - Next week on February 4th at the Washington Community Center they are having Club Zumba. It will cost $5 and it is from 7-9 pm. Yes, that is 2 hours of straight Zumba. The best part - it is an 80's Zumba party! You need to come dressed up in your best 80's workout gear and shake it to the best 80's songs. You won't want to miss it. April will be doing most of it and I will be helping on the side with a couple of routines. It will be great!
Challenge - so I hope you did good by taking out one favorite food and drink for the week. Did you realize how much you were actually consuming of these products? I did, I have to be honest I did eat some chips and salsa one evening but not near as many as I would have. My craving for corn chips have greatly decreased from doing this so that makes me happy! So make sure you write it down in your book!
Challenge for week #4 - Do not skip breakfast!
For those of you that were told by your mother when you were young that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day", well she was right ladies! When you wake up and start your day and get to busy to eat your body tells it self that it is going to go in starvation mode even if you don't feel hungry. Your body needs good food to fuel it for the day. You need to be aware of what you are eating though, cereal goes right through unless it is a hearty oatmeal or granola. Add some fruit or best of all eggs and you have your self a well rounded meal. Healthy carbs, fruit (natural sugar) and protein will make and produce more energy for you throughout your day. When you make your meal try to stay in the 400 or below in calories. It is a meal not a snack so think hearty but lean! Good Luck!

Hello Again!
So I have really neglected our blog and I promise to do better. I will be posting our weekly challenge and also some video routines when I can get them recorded. The video that is posted is one of our newer instructors and her name is Josie. You can also say hello to Melesa in the back ground. I didn't tell her to move so she just gets to be in it! The name of the song is, "Hokey Pokey" by The Puppies and you can get this on itunes. Enjoy and stay up on your challenges!
Week 3 Challenge - Eliminate your favorite item of food and drink!
My favorite item to eat right now is corn chips so good bye for now! When you take out something that you really like you realize how much of that item you really were eating everyday. If you are a soda or fruit juice or whatever makes you go yum yum besides water then eliminate that drink (diet coke drinkers, I am talking to you). I have a big spill on carbonation that I could give you but that will be at a later challenge so for this week it is just taking out items that are your favorite. That doesn't mean supplement with something else but just passing it up for the week. Make sure you write it down in your notebook of challenges how much you realize you are addicted to some items. Write your feelings about it. A lot of times you will achieve goals if you dig down a little deeper and really start to understand why we do things!! Good luck to all of you and remember that loving yourself starts on the inside!

They will have new everything!! The aerobics room will be fantastic! I can't wait to start teaching over there. We will be adding 2 night classes on Tues. and Thurs. and also a Sat. class, including the classes we already have. I am also trying to get Zumba kids. You can bring your kids and while you are working out, lifting weights or relaxing in the spa your kids can take the Zumba kids class and start the good habit of exercise in a really fun way!
