PostHeaderIcon HIP HOP Class (no brainer)!!

"All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move." - Benjamin Franklin

Hip Hop Peeps,
It's summer....... we are showing all kinds of skin, enjoying our families, celebrating, socalizing, exploring new activities.....don't you want to be in the best shape possible to enjoy every minute of it? Life is to short to worry about the bathing suit that covers every imperfection or shop for a sundress that hides certain areas...what the heck! Don't you want to put anything on, look great, feel great and spend all the extra time having fun!
Well, I think we can help. First, do something everyday that makes you feel strong, powerful and confident. Maybe a run, pilates, a bike ride...here it comes...HIP HOP Class (no brainer)!!!!  Second, let all your stereo types, numbers on the scale, sizes, etc...please let them go. I have spent years focusing on a number and realized I was there the whole time...I just had to let go and ENJOY.
 
I will also say that the amazing  Ladies of Hip Hop have grown into quite a group of butt kickers, the inspiration I get from you each week is incredible. Thank You!
 
If you haven't come in a while, please jump back in, WE MISS YOU!
Tonight will be a test in endurance, I will get you ready for the weekend and then some!!
 
Bring it,

"Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities.  Seize common occasions and make them great.  Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them." - Orison Swett Marden

Shawties,
We all know what happens if we sit around and wait for fabulous things to happen.....que the crickets.......NOTHING! Every time you throw on a pair of shorts, some tennis shoes, guess what you are doing? Creating an amazing opportunity to grow, to get strong, to make things happen.
It's all about putting yourself out there, only then will you see results.
Don't wait, start TODAY, take control and be that strong, powerful woman that everyone looks up to.
 
Our dance party tonight will be off the chain...new song, new challenges, spa towels....just bring it!!!
 
 
Also, we will have some protien packs for $2 for sale to make that awesome smoothie after class!

PostHeaderIcon Shake it hard

"I do not pray for a lighter load, but for a stronger back." - Phillips Brooks

And Ladies, while we are praying for strength, let's do the things that we know can build it up instead of just waiting around for an answer.  Run. Jump.  Push. Pull. Shake it hard and your prayer has a much better chance at being answered quickly.  
 
Y'all have just been ripping the dances up lately and I just wanted to thank you for bringing such a winning attitude to class.  Many of you are developing a real personal flavor and I am always looking forward to the take you will have on each night's routine. 
 
A few updates: Our sound system has been upgraded and so the tunes will be pumping out better than ever tonight.  Bee's Landing and James Island classes both happen every Tuesday, so let your JI and West Ashley Peeps know to come out and hit it.  And of course you can add another night of dancing to your schedule if you have time to get over to one of those joints. 
 
Can't wait to see you tonight.  We'll get our backs up all right, stronger and ready for any load life can throw at us.

PostHeaderIcon Ladies of Indomitable Will!

OK, so I hate to triple quote you today, but these really dovetail into each other and captured the message I wanted to convey today.  If you have time, read the first, sip some latte or do a few pushups, then read the next, and then repeat the process. 
People do not lack strength; they lack will.
- Victor Hugo

The will to win is not nearly as important as the will to prepare to win.--Bobby Knight

"Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential." - Winston Churchill  
 Dearest Ladies of Indomitable Will, 
What we are doing works, I see it everyday. Thank you so much for making me aware of each mountain climbed, stress hissy averted, race run,  friendship made and laugh laughed through our efforts at boogieing down.  And the key is a very basic one.  Showing up.  I know it is a struggle for many of you to regularly make it in to hip hop.  But I encourage you to keep trying.  The number of positive things that has grown out of our dance parties are now too many to count. 
If you haven't joined the party in a while.....jump in, it's like riding a bike! New to the party.... so glad to have you!  A regular Hip Hopper.....I bow down to you.
Have a FABULOUS one planned for tonight....see you at 7:30!!

PostHeaderIcon It's always your choice!

"Be miserable.  Or motivate yourself.  Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice." - Wayne Dyer
 Ladies of Strength & Beauty,
I run into a lot of women in my daily life, always stopping me, telling me how they want to come back to Hip Hop (please, don't ever feel like you have to say that) and how they just want to generally feel better, get stronger and of course...lose 10 lbs. This happens about 3 or 4 times a day, so here is what I am thinking....do something about it!! No more talking, just do it. You will soon realize once the action starts the talking, whining, feeling sorry for yourself, dreading putting on your swimsuit, pulling on the dreaded spanx....it all stops.
Your attitude changes, you feel better, things fit better and you can focus on some many more wonderful things.
Stop talking, start doing, be happy...you have the power, it's your choice.
I am here to be your motivator, counseler, and Hip Hop ring leader.
Please take advantage of me.
Spa towels, great music, tough chicks, bumpin & poppin' all included.
Check out tonight's song on our FB page, it's too fab for words.
