Dance Fitness Class By Laurie

The photo on the right is skinny me. I hated my body and cried daily. I wasnt skinny enough. I starved every day. I exercised like crazy to be skinny. Never ate anything delightful. I was in pain and had an eating disorder. Not one that had a name per se but I truly had a problem. The photo on the left is me now. I love me. I am fat. I know it and I am ok with it. I would prefer to not be as fat but every Monday I say I will eat less and by 10:30 am, I decide to start the fol...lowing Monday because I want to eat. I eat whenever I want and whatever I want and am not consumed with body image and food. I exercise 3x a week for an hour dancing to my favorite songs. I am strong and underneath my chub I have a rock hard body. I can run upstairs, lift something heavy, shop all day, move a bedroom suit upstairs, spend the day washing walls and not get winded. I am not promoting poor eating habits, I am stating that you can LOVE you while you do not have the "ideal" body and you can exercise 3X per week to maintain strength and you can work your lungs, heart, muscles, body, and mind without it being an obsession. You can exercise for fun and not try and kill yourself in the process. You can be like me and exercise to have strength and peace without dying inside to be a size 2. We are all beautiful no matter what size. Come exercise with me Mondays Wednesdays and Thursdays 6-7 pm at the Seneca Club Jeannette. I DO IT FOR THE HEALTH OF IT See more

I just want to thank my Aerobics/dance fitness family for their dedication and perseverance this summer. Its been hot, complicated, virusy, confusing, yet they keep coming back day after day, week after week. It is an amazing family. And I truly love you . If you have never visited, you should totally consider trying. I promise you will have fun and be entertained and make new friends. Join us Monday Wednesday Thursday 6-7 Seneca Club Jeannette. $3 per class. Do it for the Health of it. My music is great, the steps are fun, and there is AC. You will sweat, laugh, sing, dance, stretch, squat, breathe, and enjoy. See you soon

Class will be canceled tonight July 23. Sorry for any inconvenience. I will miss you all.

Happy Monday!!! This week I'm on vaca so there will be no class. Also, Franki, Jimmy and Zander, who like to make fun of my posts, this one is for you. Stay motivated and hydrated this week. Hug your sibling and tell them you love them and pray to God for the spirit of patience. Love to you all.

All is well as I knew it would be. Negative test results for my son. They were outside and social distancing. All kids who were there tested Negative. Class is on for tomorrow Wednesday June 23. I was being overly cautious as you should be with this virus. I will have class tomorrow 6-7. See you soon!!!

Class is cancelled tonight. One of my sons friends tested positive for Covid and was at my house Thursday. My son will get tested tomorrow and I will get tested if he is positive. I will keep you updated about Wednesdays class. Stay healthy! Laurie

Happy New Year!!! Classes will resume NEXT WEEK January, 11. I am waiting another week to see covid numbers from Christmas. Hope your New Year's resolution includes seeing me more and exercising more. Miss you all. See you soon.

This week, the week of December 7-10 classes will be cancelled. Its very covidy out there. I am going to quarantine for a week!!!

As of today November 30, 2020 I am still holding classes. The hall is big enough and the class is small enough to "social distance" I will make sure I am healthy and have not encountered anyone else with a positive case. And I hope you all will honor that as well. I will keep you all informed if anything changes. I really can't function mentally nor physically if I do not exercise. AND I can not exercise at home, its too painful. Must have great music, great steps and most importantly, my great friends who come to the class. See you soon.

ITS MONDAY!!! That means we all started a new diet and exercise program. Hopefully by 10 am today we didn't ruin our great intentions. I can help with half of the equation. Come to Seneca Club in Jeannette for a terrific, fantastic, amazing, Work-out dance class. Excuse me while I toot my own horn HAHAHAHA Monday, Wednesday, Thursday 6-7pm $3 per class. Do it for the health of it.

Are you all enjoying life yet? Today is the only day guaranteed. Take a deep breath, forget about politics and the world's troubles for a moment and be thankful. When you work, God rests. When you take a seat and breathe God does the work. That advice is for me first but I thought I would share. And while you are at it, exercise. Im telling you it is the cheapest medicine available. I take it 3X a week and at 52, I feel amazing. My mind is so healthy from getting my blood pumping and laughing the entire class. Come visit and for at least an hour, forget about life's obstacles. Seneca Club Jeannette PA $3 per class. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. 6-7 pm Covid free also. lol
