Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 's Daily Message SaturdayDecember 29, 2007MY LAST CLASS OF THE YEAR Good morning to all of you! In a little while, I`ll be leaving for Slimmons to teach my last Sweatin` class of the year. I can remember back over 30 years ago to when I taught my very first class at Slimmons. There was only one lady in class with me that very first time but, boy, did the two of us ever have a good time! Since I've opened and taught classes at Slimmons, six Presidents have been through the Oval Office. Let's see, there's Ford, , Reagan, Bush, Clinton and now Bush number 2! And while all of those Presidents worked hard to make our country stronger, meanwhile at Slimmons, I was working hard to make our country`s people stronger. Hey, it takes strong people to build a strong country, right? In the beginning, not only did I teach my exercise classes but I taught my Project Me Classes, too. And I still teach those motivational classes today. I don`t know how many thousands and thousands of people have taken class with me over the years at the Club. Today, there are people who`ve been with me so long that they now have their own children or grandchildren. On some days, I`ll have three generations of one family sweatin` right beside each other. I just love that! Our classes are simple movements that are packed with energy to get you sweatin`. My philosophy has always been...Lift those arms, lift those legs and the sweat will follow! I feel so exhilarated when I sweat because I know I`m doing good things for my body when I do. I`m cleaning out my system and getting my body into tiptop shape. And yes, like many of you, once that beat gets in my soul, I can dance the night away and never look back! We`ve had Christmas parties, Halloween costume parties and lots of birthday parties for my students and staff at Slimmons. I can close my eyes and hear them all from over the years, laughing and singing to the tunes I`ve played for them in class all of these many years. Today, I`ll have a motivational meeting then get everyone up to work out. The studio will be packed and we`ll all make a promise to get healthier in the new year to come. I`ve taught over 200 classes this year. I`ve done senior extravaganzas, lots of classes at conventions and I`ve taught at health expos from coast-to-coast. But when I`m not traveling, I always visit my second home, Slimmons, to work up a good sweat for myself and for my classes! Even when I`ve felt a little sick, I drag myself out of bed, fluff my hair and throw on one of my cute tank tops. Why? Because I just can`t live without my exercise! I just can`t! Exercise wakes me up, shakes me up and makes me feel alive, just like an old Bee Gees song. Exercise makes me feel forever young, like Pan. It clears my mind and gets rid of the negative thoughts so that the positive thoughts can find a home in my mind. Oh how I wish you all could be with me for this last dance of 2007. Today, I want you to put in one of my workout DVDs and sweat right along with us, okay? Have a beautiful last Saturday of 2007!
