So, after bodyjam on Tuesday night, we must have been high on endorphins cuz we got a little goofy. We challenged Matt to find 10 ways to use Cindy's scarf. Vote on your favorite by posting a comment to this blog entry.

#1 - LASSO LIKE A ROCKSTAR!

#2 - ANYONE FOR DOUBLE-DUTCH?

#3 - BOLLYJAMm'in

#4 - IT'S CHILLY, BUT I'M HOT!

#5 - KISSIE KISSIE
 (Don't worry... Matt doesn't kiss EVERYONE who comes to bodyjam. This is his wife!)

#6 - Jam Hostage

#7 - MADAME BABOUSCHKA

#8 - THREE LEGS ARE BETTER THAN 4? (Watch out, Matt! Cindy's pretty fast!)

# 9 - Not sure exactly WHAT he's doing here. Also not sure I want to wear my scarf ever again.

#10 - WHAT'S A PARTY WITHOUT A LITTLE "PUNCH"?

Thanks to everyone who came to BODYJAM this week for Launch! We danced til we couldn't dance no more! We had a ton of great feedback.... you loved the routines and you loved the way your calorie burn was off the charts! The good news is.... we're doing it again. The next 2 weeks will be full of the same freakn awesome routines.

If you weren't there, you missed some crazy stuff! Alison even did a handstand.

We'll be posting pictures on the events page within the next couple of days. So, be sure to check back.

Jam on!

Last night, I was doing bodyjam to my dvd in my fancy dance studio (which amazingly enough looks a lot like a bedroom). My 3-year old son came in and said "I want to dance too mommy!" He's pretty good! Watch for yourself.... (I love this kid :-)

Ok, so Alison, Cindy & Matt are all on our way to our practice session tonight. We are gearing up for our next BODYJAM release. Mark your calendars people (Nov 4)--- you are not going to want to miss this one. I haven't been this excited about a new release in a long time! From latin to tribal explosion, the roof is coming off with this one. The music is sweet, as always, including one of my faves -- Party People by none other than Fergie. So fun, and so cardio.

You can start practicing too! Click here to check it out.

As an instructor, we get this question all the time. Obviously everyone wants to make the most of their workout time and maximize caloric burn.  Me too!

There's no clear cut answer since there are so many variables. Every person is different. But lucky for me, I have a BODYBUGG, so I know exactly how many calories I burn. If you're not familiar with the BODYBUGG, it's the coolest thing to hit the weight-management scene since... well, since I was born at least! It's a tool that measures how many calories I burn with 97% accuracy.

Let me start out with the bad news. A few months ago, I started working full time.... at a desk. Don't get me wrong, I completely love my job, but I'm going crazy being so sedentary. On a typical day at work, my BODYBUGG tells me that I burn a whopping 77 calories per hour on average. Pathetic, I know.  That equates to about 1 piece of Halloween candy.

Now for the good news. I burn 447 calories an hour in BODYJAM. WHAT? That's right. Saaaaaaweet! Now remember. every one is going to vary according to body size, fitness level, intensity level, etc, but this should at least give you a general idea.

The crazy thing is, so far, I have burned more calories in BODYJAM than any other group fitness class I've taken while wearing my BODYBUGG. Even more calories than those kick-your-butt classes where you end up limping out the door, gasping for oxygen. But, I just don't even realize how hard I am working in jam because I am literally having so much fun.

I know I've seen a few other BODYBUGGs out there in class. If you're one of those people with one, give a comment here and let us know how many calories you burn in a bodyjam class.
