It’s Time to“Move More”

Jazzercise is a dance aerobics program that has been around for 35 years and has stood the test of time. It combines kickboxing, yoga and Pilates principles into fun dance routines set to the freshest music of various genres, music you hear on the radio by the original artists. This includes pop, hip-hop, rap, jazz, old standards, classical, Latin and African music.

Laurie Jones is the Wellness Specialist at MDI Hospital, a certified group fitness instructor and certified personal trainer. She explains what her program, “Move More,” will entail:

“What I will be discussing in my presentation is the importance of exercise/movement for a healthy lifestyle and yes, we will be doing some dance exercise.

“My intention is to motivate. We will talk a little about exercise and then we will do a micro version of a group dance exercise class.

“I try to combine different types of music and dance style to appeal to the different tastes of participants and show them how much fun, and easy, it is to get a little more movement each day.

“My goal is to get the Lose and Win group sweating a little bit and, hopefully, have a heck of good time in the process.”
