Hi everyone! Last night on Facebook I asked which you’d rather have for videos this week – Zumba Toning and Zumba Gold, and the masses requested Zumba Toning so that is what you shall get! The bad news is I didn’t realize when I recording how crazy bright the room was and when I imported […]
Smart Snacking
In my role as a nutrition/weight loss specialist I’ve noticed that many people seem to have no problem eating well during regular meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) but when it comes to snacks they fall all to pieces. They don’t have anything pre-planned for snacks so they start eating whatever they can grab, or find themselves […]
4 Must Haves If You Want To Learn To Run
Running seems to be gaining more and more popularity, and many of the goals my clients send me surround learning to run, or running their first race.

Kids Dance Fitness: Wreck It Ralph
As soon as I heard the Wreck It Ralph song, I knew I had to use it for Zumba Kids Jr. It is upbeat, fun and best of all – appeals to both boys and girls.
Baked Mini Chocolate Donuts
Things happen when people are storm stayed. Things like baked mini chocoalte donuts. Really, what was I expected to do? I had a mini donut pan just sitting there wishing to be used. How could I deny it? The finished product is pretty tasty, though not really as dense as I would like to make […]

Staying Motivated During The Winter Months
This time of year I desperately envy those of you who don’t have to deal with winter. And more specifically snow, snow, and more snow. We were lucky here in Nova Scotia this year, as winter didn’t really seem to start until the end of January. But since then we’ve had approximately 500 snow storms […]
Tu Compañia Choreography
Goooood afternoon! Today I’m sharing with you a routine I whipped up on Tuesday for Tu Compañia from Mega Mix 45. Can I say it again without it getting old that I’m super impressed with this Mega Mix? There are still one or two songs on it that I want to do something with – such […]
“But I Don’t Want To”itis
It’s a real thing, I swear. Everyday, at least once a day someone tells me, “But I don’t want to drink so much water” “I don’t life to eat vegetables.” “I don’t want to exercise.” “I know I should eat better, but I don’t want to eat like a bird. I’d rather eat fries!” I don’t […]
