			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are taking a break from Zumba classes for a few weeks. If you haven&#8217;t already signed up for the email newsletter <a href="http://traversecityzumba.us1.list-manage1.com/subscribe?u=2fc03884c9ca43a31e05de2b3&amp;id=4acb088d5a">you definitely should</a> so that you don&#8217;t miss announcements for the new season in 2012.</p>
<p>Here are three tips to keeping your fitness routine over the holiday break</p>
<h3>1. Stick with a Routine you Love</h3>
<p>When I&#8217;m not doing Zumba I engage other activies that I enjoy or find challenging. It is really important to continue with your regular workout schedule (be flexible enough so you don&#8217;t give up if you miss a day), but what is even more important is to find something you enjoy and make time for it every day.</p>
<p>Here are a few workouts that I do on my &#8220;days off&#8221;</p>
<ul>
<li>Workout Videos: Jillian Michaels, Tae Bo, etc</li>
<li>Running</li>
<li>Walking (you have to really work hard on your walks though)</li>
<li>Snowshoeing</li>
<li>X-country skiing</li>
</ul>
<h3>2. Save Treats for Special Occasions</h3>
<p>Holidays is one of those times that you can&#8217;t avoid a treat once in a while. Go for it!</p>
<p>But save those guilty pleasures for the special occasions during this season. It is important to continue keeping track of day-to-day intake or things can really fly out of hand (I know from experience&#8230;)</p>
<p>Here are a few treats that somehow seem to be ignored in calorie counts:</p>
<ul>
<li>Drinks!! All beverages (especially alcohol, pop, sweetened &#8220;juice/tea,&#8221; eggnog!) are so sneaky, you may want to commit to drinking <em>only</em> water (or tea/coffee) when you&#8217;re not at a party.</li>
<li>Tasting while cooking (every nibble of xmas cookies counts)</li>
<li>Free samples at Cherry Republic <img src='http://www.traversecityzumba.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
</ul>
<h3>3. Balance your Daily Diet</h3>
<div>Starving yourself in-between holiday parties isn&#8217;t going to help as much as you think, and even though counting calories is important eating a balanced diet throughout the break is even more essential.</div>
<div>You may have to adjust your portion sizes to do so, but following the new &#8220;my plate&#8221; guide to healthy eating (the food pyramid is history) is a fantastic way to keep your eating habits healthy and your fitness plan in tact.</div>
<div><a href="http://www.traversecityzumba.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/myplate_green.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-194" title="myplate_green" src="http://www.traversecityzumba.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/myplate_green-300x272.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="272" /></a></div>

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been trying to find a way to keep Zumba Mondays rolling while also simplifying the schedule a bit for summer.. because we all know summertime in Traverse City is cra-a-zy!</p>
<p>I think we&#8217;ve got it!</p>
<p>Monday nights are moving to Lake Ann United Methodist. Class will be at 7pm every Monday &#8211; so don&#8217;t miss it!</p>
<p>This should help everyone since all my classes right now are at LAUM &#8211; Zumba on Mondays at 7 and <a href="http://www.traversecityzumba.com/featured/zumba-toning-starts-tonight/">Zumba Toning</a> on Thursdays at 6.</p>
<p>There is no registration for this class&#8230; it is just the regular $6 drop-in fee. You can save a ton by purchasing one of my <a href="http://www.traversecityzumba.com/featured/save-over-20-on-zumba-classes/">punch cards</a> though! I&#8217;ll have them available at class for those of you who like saving money <img src='http://www.traversecityzumba.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>See you this Monday (June 6) for Zumba Fitness at Lake Ann United Methodist!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Here are three ways you can save money on Zumba Fitness with Traverse City Zumba]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even though I keep my classes incredibly affordable everyone is always looking for a way to save a few more bucks. You&#8217;ve got to these days!</p>
<p>It always makes me sad to hear that someone is missing class because of finances though, so here are few ways that you can spend even less cash to get your Zumba fix each week.<br />
<span id="more-170"></span></p>
<h4>1. Sign up for the Entire Session</h4>
<p>Every so often I offer a session that lasts a specific number of weeks at a discount price. For example, tonight starts <a href="http://www.traversecityzumba.com/zumba/new-class-at-westwoods/">a 4 week session at Westwoods Elementary</a>. Show up tonight to register for the entire 4 weeks at at the unbeatable price of only $20!</p>
<h4>2. Traverse City Zumba Punch Cards</h4>
<p>An even better deal is to purchase one of <a href="http://www.traversecityzumba.com/featured/save-over-20-on-zumba-classes/">my 10- or 20-punch cards</a>. Come to class. Get a punch. Save 20%.</p>
<p>You can almost hear a &#8220;cha-ching!&#8221; every time you punch that card because you know you just saved big time. This is a great option for those that are afraid to sign up for an entire session because you might miss a class. With the TC Zumba punch card you only pay for the classes you attend.</p>
<h4>3. Bike to Class</h4>
<p>Last summer I was riding my bike to class at Lake Ann United Methodist. Not only did this provide another fun way to burn calories, I can&#8217;t think of an easier way to save money right now than by avoiding gasoline altogether!</p>
<p>Try riding your bike to the four sessions at Westwoods. Even if it&#8217;s just a few miles you&#8217;ll save enough on gas money to try my Zumba Toning class on Thursday!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Get inspired by these amazing atheletes!</p>
<p>I spent a lot of years doing workouts like this when I played soccer&#8230; I love that game, but Zumba is a heckuva lot more fun than running suicides!!</p>
<p>Ditch the workout, join the party!</p>
<p>(Under Armour rocks by the way. I highly recommend it.)</p>
