I finally decided to retire after 10 years of dancing. I had a few good years left in me physically but mentally I was done. My body was used to a lot of exercise. After quitting I found it very difficult to keep my figure. I dieted and tried different various forms of exercise. Aerobic classes, weight training, even running didn’t seem to be that effective. Not only was it not working to keep me fit but these were not exercises that I enjoyed. I finally came to the conclusion that I needed to try a training routine similar to the one that I had while I was dancing. I have structured a fitness routine using the moves that resemble the ones I had used in my performances. I had been using this routine for only a short while and could already see my body transforming back to the toned and lean condition that is was in while I was a dancer. It seems the perfect combination of using your own strength to hold your body weight up (pole moves), cardio (dancing), and strength and stretching (floor moves) is what keeps my body in the best shape. If this works for me, I figure it will work for most. This is why I decided to teach and help other women achieve their fitness goals.I like the outdoors allot and am always trying to find something new to try. I love going to the beach and walking around and enjoying the sun. We don't get that many nice days here in Oregon to enjoy the sun. I love going to Baseball games.
