Just a normal Friday morning, with my "front desk cat staff," Missy and MayMay, waiting to greet my first at-home client. Pilates at my house is purrrrrlates.

Today was a good day! I've completed 59 trips around the sun and today was my first day of my 60th year. I thought very (very) briefly about taking the day off. Then, I decided to do everything that was on my normal schedule. What better way to honor and appreciate the life that I have than to live it like normal?! I got do MELT with my morning class, dance and lift with my Zumba + Lift class, then teach my Wednesday night pilates classes. Special dessert made by me = boccone dolce, Italian meringues with fresh Hood strawberries and cream. Yum!

Thank you to everyone who messaged me, texted, and posted on my pages. Thank you to everyone who came to class, whether you knew it was my birthday or not, so we could share time and space together. I feel very fortunate, and very loved. LOL, even the Zumba home office emailed me today!

I enjoyed this first sentence of her video. People think fitness changes how you look. But really, fitness changes how you live.

ZUMBA + LIFT ON DEMAND WITH BANDS
You asked, I delivered!!!!
Please read entire description before renting, this is a bit different than my typical on demand content.

After many requests, I've recorded a full Zumba + Lift class designed specifically for resistance bands. We cover all the major muscle groups in six resistance training segments. i use a "strong" Sanctband brand therapy band. You could use tubing, Slastix, or Therabands.

❤️Warm-up
💙Squats with tricep recovery
❤️Cardio
💙Biceps with shoulder recovery (optional light leg movement for individuals whose heart rates need to rise and fall more steadily)
❤️Cardio
💙Middle back - single and double arm rows at varying angles
❤️Cardio
💙Chest - slow heavy double arm, single arm light (optional leg movement for individuals whose heart rates need to rise and fall more steadily)
❤️Cardio x 2 - high intensity, lower intensity to cool down
💙Side Hip
💙Shoulders / abs
❤️Stretch

This is a format-compliant class; it follows the rules of a Z+L class as required in the manual and training video. Why is it Gold friendly? (1) The cardio routines start low impact and are very simple. Dancers absolutely CAN work hard with a variety of options. (2) Resistance segments are done considering ranges of motion that are slightly less likely to aggravate typical gold injuries. (3) Some de-conditioned, beginner, and gold hearts don't have adequate recovery rates for it to be safe to do "true" HIIT of high cardio, low cardio, high cardio, low cardio. Thus, I've added small and optional leg movements to promote a more gradual heart rate recovery. The small leg movements do not affect one's ability to do challenging resistance loads with the upper body.

NOTE BEFORE YOU RENT!!!!!
This is a live recording of my regular class. What that means is, it's NOT a fancy production. It's me teaching a live class in an authentic way, drinking water, moving the hair out of my face, and answering student questions. A few times, my feet are off camera. The workout plan is amazing, intelligently planned, and well executed.
IF YOU WANT A POLISHED AND HIGHLY PRODUCED MASTER CLASS, PLEASE RENT ANY OTHER OF MY ON DEMAND OFFERINGS, JUST NOT THIS ONE. This one, rent if you want the content without the polish. With a kid graduating from high school in a month, i didn't have time to polish / produce / record /assemble individual songs.

Short clip of my Zumba + Lift with bands class, from my regular Wednesday Zoom class. Squats with a short triceps section, then return to squats.

Truly, I love the different things I do under the umbrella of Zumba®. However, in the grand scheme of things, I've been overwhelmed with a variety of workload constraints bumping up against family responsibilities and outside items I can't control but to which I must respond. Therefore, I made the very difficult decision to release the state of Washington from my ZES responsibilities. At first, I wasn't going to make an announcement as I'm still a ZES, just with a smaller territory, but I'm getting questions about WA that isn't my jurisdiction any longer so I thought it best to make a small announcement.

I continue to serve you as an instructor of several Zumba® formats (particularly my new favorite, Zumba + Lift tm), a ZJ for Zumba Gold worldwide, and a ZES for Gold for Oregon.

Speak and spread love,

This week's Zumba + Lift tm class will feature resistance bands! Although there will be options for clients using weights, I will be teaching using bands.

Come dance and lift with Nance! Classes are $6 for all my Zumba® classes and specialties.

This class is gold friendly. Can you jump? Absolutely!!! Do you have to? Absolutely not! I layer from low impact upwards; you get to decide how hard to kick your own butt.
