“Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah”
Ok, so I’ll admit I was a total 80’s Madonna groupie. My first ever album…yes album, was Madonna, Madonna (the Original). And the first thing I would do when I got home from school was run to the record player, get the music going, quickly push all of my parent’s living room furniture out of the way and start dancing.
And my mother hated it.
Whoa Whoa…not like that. Thank goodness.
She loved seeing me so happy and dancing my heart out. But she’d always say “I don’t like the lyrics of these songs”. Then she’d yell out over the music “JOE!!!” (That’s my dad) “Do you think she should be listening to this stuff?”
All while I am belting out “Like A Virgin….” HaHaHaHaHa
The funny thing is, I didn’t even realize what I was singing.
So you can see, moving has always been in my blood.
I hear music and I can’t help myself.
Then you add in my total nerdy side of loving anatomy & biomechanics and you have an overzealous fitness freak on your hands.
So much has changed since those days, yet so much of who I am is the same.
One other thing that gets me going, gets me excited and inspired to push myself is change.
Yes, CHANGE.
Like the leaves are about to change on the trees overhead here in PA, I am about to make a big change.
I’ve decided to take a leap of faith and jump…
I am leaving my position as the Barre Fusion instructor at the YMCA here in Doylestown and starting my own thing.
Taking JBird Fitness in a new direction and focusing my full efforts on building a community in Bucks County, of people who want to feel great in their body and have FUN with fitness.
It’s a little scary (in the best way possible) but just like my mom used to smile, watching me dance in our living room, I am already smiling from ear to ear envisioning the endless possibilities ahead of me and anyone willing to “jump” with me.
(me, 20 some odd years ago LOL 👉)
So let’s consider this a “To Be Continued…”
P.S. Thank you for being on this journey with me. Without you, none of this would be possible.
Big Hugs,
Janine
