Leading a healthy lifestyle is difficult when trying to juggle a family and a career, but this week’s local is taking the initiative to revamp the way Murfreesboro works out.

Marie Littrell is bringing back the classic fitness class, Jazzercise. This fast paced and fun workout program incorporates weights, Pilates and dance for a total body workout.

In September of 2009, Marie stepped on the scale and had a rude awakening. She was 30 pounds overweight and incredibly unhappy. Marie remembered how happy and healthy she was as a Jazzercise instructor and decided it was time to once again get healthy.

She began driving all the way to Franklin to attend the only available Jazzercise class in this area. A few months later and 20 pounds lighter, Marie decided it was time to bring the workout to the ‘Boro.

Many people do not know that in order to be a certified Jazzercise instructor, you must undergo multiple screening and testing processes. The official Jazzercise organization has been in existence for 40 years with over 7,000 official instructors worldwide. A committee of instructors releases 25 new routines every 10 weeks for use in Jazzercise classes to keep a modern feel to each class offered.

After much preparation, Marie is ready to share her experience and passion with Rutherford County. She has organized a Jazzercise class starting Thursday, April 1^st at 4:45 p.m. Class schedule as follows:

MON, TUES, THURS at 4:45pm AND SAT at 9:00 am

Location: Trinity United Methodist Church (Fellowship Hall)

2303 Jones Blvd.

Murfreesboro, TN 37129

Contact: Marie Littrell 615-482-0338

 

As a special promotion, Marie is offering the first week free to help get you motivated. Remember ladies, swim suit season is right around the corner and what better way to get in shape than in a group fitness class that combines cardio, strength and stretch in only one hour.

“We welcome all sizes, ages and physical levels,” explained Marie. “I don’t have a perfect body, but I’m real and I’m fit and I’m happier than I’ve ever been.”
