Now that I’ve had my Glycerin 12‘s for a few months and have run a decent amount of miles in them, I feel like I’ve spent enough “quality time” with them to post my honest review of how I’m liking them. For starters, they’re beauti-ful! I am so in love with the blue and purple […]
Sickie + Dance Fitness Video For You
Well, I’m a big old sickie today. I don’t know if it’s my IBS, or a bug but I am most certainly not feeling good. The bad news for me is I can’t afford to cancel my classes today so I have to keep plugging away. Working when you don’t feel well is bad enough, […]
Ellie Black’s Journey To The 2015 Pan Am Games
I’m so darn excited to finally be writing this post to let you all in on the secret I’ve been keeping from you for the last two months! I have partnered with McKesson® Canada and it’s retail pharmacy banners (Guardian, IDA, The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy and PROXIM) and more specifically it’s exclusive atoma® brand who have sponsored five Canadian […]
3 Tips to Overcome (mental) Burn Out
Heeeeeey! I gotta say, since the sun has decided to come out a few times this week I’m feeling a whole lot less cranky. Man this has been a rough winter for us in Nova Scotia. I’ve droned on and on about it here and in my email newsletters (sorry!) but all of Nova Scotia […]
IBS: An Unwelcome Visitor
The past month or so I’ve noticed that foods that haven’t bothered me in well over a year are starting to once again bother me. I’m noticing more and more days where I end up with a bloated belly, uncomfortable abdominal pains, and digestive upset. It would appear that my IBS which has been leaving me alone […]
Body Sculpt
Prior to becoming a Zumba Instructor I was teaching regular old fitness classes, in fact if you’ve been around this blog since the beginning, you might even remember when I went to my first Zumba training. Sadly I can’t link to what I’m sure was an amazing post 😉 since many of my old posts […]
5 Weeks Out – I Finally Ran Outside
Hurrah! Sunday afternoon I was able to go get my long run in OUTSIDE without the fear of falling on ice, or freezing my lungs off. Though the thought of actually running 7 miles was a little worrisome. But off I went. My Polar needs a new battery so I was running without knowing my […]
Dance Fitness: Caramelo
I somehow managed to choreograph this routine in my head one day last week on my way to teach a class. It’s to Caramelo from Mega Mix 46. I choreographed it thinking it was a Cumbia, but then realized it was a Reggaeton but decided not to change my choreography, because well – I liked […]
Kids Dance Fitness: Everything Is Awesome!
It’s the Thursday before Easter, which means it’s basically Friday, since tomorrow is Good Friday, which means that everything IS awesome 😉 so it seemed fitting to share this video today! Anyone with kids is going to recognize this song from The Lego Movie, and if you haven’t noticed, I like using songs from movies […]
Kids Dance Fitness: The Party Starts Now
This week I’m sharing two more kids routines, I would classify these as Zumba Kids Jr, or if you’re not a Zumba instructor, they would be appropriate for kids aged 7 and under. The first one is to a Club Penguin song called “The Part Starts Now” and I have an old (terribly fuzzy) video […]
