This past week we finally saw blue skies & the sun here in PA. It was so refreshing and gave me that extra little boost to re-rev those engines I was talking about last week.
If you missed last Sunday’s newsletter, click here to read what I’m talking about. But I’m not going to rehash the past or dwell on the ickiness of life’s happenings lately.
It’s a New Day…And I’m Feeling Good. (Thanks Nina Simone 😉)
I know this might not be fair, since I've already gotten over the hump for myself, but someone’s got to give you a nudge. Well, more like a BIG shove…but metaphorically of course. Otherwise, that would make me down right rude.
So here it goes.
I need you to up your game.
There…I said it.
It may sound obnoxious of me to ask more of you, especially right now. As we have all been asked to go beyond ourselves the last year for everyone we know & even all those we don’t.
But now it’s time for YOU.
Time to rebuild.
Time to focus.
Time to feel good again.
Time to LIVE!
Live it up…Play, Enjoy Life & Have FUN!
2021 in JBird 🌎 is not only about changing your body, but even more. It’s about connecting the dots between exercise and its ability to create a freedom like no other.
Movement effects how you see yourself & has the power to lift you up.
It clears your thoughts, making you more present in your day to day life.
It builds strength but it also subconsciously builds your confidence.
It reminds you to explore, break through boundaries & play.
It’s like a smorgasbord of emotional transformations sitting right in front of you and all you need to do is get up and move.
We’ve been in limbo for too long.
With that said…
Take the initiative to break thru the status quo.
Here are three ways you can completely change your emotional state of mind in just minutes.
Get Moving Right Now & See The Transformation For Yourself!

Looking for a Boost in Energy?
I had FUN this past week looking back at when dance fitness began to creep back, excitedly into my life. I had no idea JBird classes were on the horizon but I was willing to play with moving in a different way to inspire the change I knew I was looking for. This is one of the first You Tube videos I posted 3 years ago. A lot has changed since then, but moving this way still makes me feel AMAZING & in a dreamy state of mind.

Cardio Moves - "Dreamer"
The Moves:
Butterfly - Feet wide, arms expand open & close 3x, followed by hands to heads and down
Swivel Lunge Low 3x with palm press across low, middle and high followed by 2 Jacks
Alternating Punches to the Sky 4x with Step Touches followed by 2 Arm Circles & Hip Pops
Having Trouble Focusing?
Hone in on your center by doing Tree Pose. By clearing your thoughts to focus on balancing, you will disregard anything that is not important and re-center your priorities.
Tree Pose How-to:
Step 1 Stand tall, shoulders back & down and the crown of your head reaching to the sky.
Step 2 Activate your right standing leg. Keep your hip bones level and pointed forward. Turn your left knee out and draw your left foot to the side of your shin or to your inner thigh, above your knee. Pressing your foot and thigh together, press your left knee back, keeping your hips stable.
Step 3 Bring your palms to your heart in prayer. Lengthen your tailbone down and lift up through your torso. Stretch down through your leg.
Step 4 After three to five breaths, release your arms and your left leg, bringing your foot back to the floor. Repeat all on the other side.
Want to Ignite Your Confidence?
All you need is 14 minutes and the drive to wake it up!
