“The word aerobics came about when the gym instructors got together and said, 'If we're going to charge $10 an hour, we can't call it jumping up and down.'"  –Rita Rudner

Although Rita Rudner is poking fun at group exercise, I love the humor in this quote.  We have made leaps and bounds in the fitness industry from merely jumping around, but really making a great class.  I really believe in putting prep time and thought into every one of my classes.  I am also interested in learning new, cutting edge formats like Balletone -- a fusion of ballet, pilates, and yoga, while making my Step and Power Sculpt classes fresh and fun!  I love fitness because it allows me to enjoy life more fully.  I have the energy to do the things I enjoy like kayaking, camping, gardening, and cross-country skiing.  Additionally, as a new mother, I am going to really need a lot of that extra energy that exercise gives us!
