Working hard? Miss a class or two? Worried about the pounds "creeping up" on you? Well, here are a few suggestions to help burn calories between classes!
Vacuum & Shimmy
You know how to vacuum, and you know how to shimmy so why not combine the two? Vacuum and Shimmy for 25 minutes to your favorite song and you'll burn 100 calories
Ironing Clothes & Shimmying
Add a shimmy while ironing your clothes for 25 minutes and you will see 100 calories melt away!
Belly dancing For 20 Minutes
Have a minute alone? Great! Turn on the music and give yourself a show for 25 minutes! Not alone? Have kids? Get them involved, have them shimmy with you! Grab your significant other - you never know - they may "out shimmy" you!
Have a few more ideas? Feel free to share!

Want To Know What Else is Making you Fat? - High Fructose Corn Syrup...
We're bringing it to you first, don't fall for the commercial "hype" that is about to hit the airwaves in the next coming months. According to the Corn Refiners Association, "high-fructose corn syrup contains the same amount of calories as cane and beet sugar, is metabolized by the body the same way as these sweeteners are, and is an all-natural product."
Please don't believe it!!
The ad campaign boasts that HFCS (High-Fructose Corn Syrup) is like honey. Well, we guess it could be all natural if one of it's main ingredients - corn starch - naturally soaked in a vat of alphaamylase, trickled into a holding tank of glucoamylase, and after a lovely fungus growth grew on top, the solution could be strained into a container holding industrial grade D-xylose isomerase (sounding natural yet?)
So here's the catch, chemically, high-fructose corn syrup is similar to cane sugar because it too contains 50% fructose and 50% glucose, but since most consumers should limit their consumption of sugar to no more than 32 grams daily and HFCS is in almost EVERYTHING these days, something as simple as a can of soda can put you over your daily sugar limit.
We know it is difficult to avoid HFCS, but these are some of the foods that contain it:
Take a close look at your fast food restaurant order please - according to Foodfacts.info even something as simple at your Subway Teriyaki Glazed Chicken Strips sandwich has HFCS. Click the link to see a listing of restaurants that include HFCS in their menu items
Why Does HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) Make You Fat?
High fructose makes you fat because it's similar to the "party crasher that snuck in through the back door." By bypassing your liver (it decides how to process sugar as it enters the body - store, burn, or turn to fat), HFCS bypasses this process and turns directly into fat.
How To Avoid?
Our recommendation is to read the label. Don't trust the "pretty front" of a package. Instead, look at the ingredients - Especially the first 3 ingredients listed. The first 3 ingredients indicate which ingredients are the majority.
Give us your feedback? How have you avoided HFCS since reading this information?

The Bellydance Blogs Begin Today!
Well, Jade Fitness & Entertainment has done it! We've started a blog!
I'm excited to see what's out there. Bellydance has been around for over 3,000 years and it's finally becoming very popular (thanks Shakira and Beyonce'!)
Our classes have been quite popular as well.
We've decided to go a different direction this year and introduced "Bellydance Your Bun Bun Off" classes in our Chicago, IL location. Wow! is all I can say. Classes are packed AND we lifted, toned, firmed, and shrunk ladies bun buns - by the time the first 6 week session was done - you really could as the old expression goes "bounce a quarter off of your bun bun".
Didn't find one lady that didn't like that!
**smile**
