From Left to Right-Aaron Thompkins, Ali Johnson, and Jesse Atkins.
Aaron & Jesse were on The Biggest Loser Season 10. The morning kicked off with a "Meet & Greet" with the two stars. Aaron and Jesse then gave motivational speeches where Aaron gave us a little insight as to how life on the the Biggest Loser was. This event was a fundraiser for the American Diabetes Association and to make people aware of Aaron's new program Better Living 360.They also gave me the chance to talk a little about my weight loss success as well...it was a dream come true : )
I shared with everyone how I was about to go on a vacation cruise with visions of the buffet in my mind and all the cute little desserts when out of nowhere right before my foot touched our ship, I received the phone call from Aaron asking me to be a part of this event. That kicked those cravings, that's for sure! I shared my story of going from 190lbs to my goal weight of 125lbs, the b
ad choices I had made in my life, and what I did to correct them and transform into a healthy woman. I looove being a motivator : ) So then the ZUMBA began! The facility we were at had no idea how many people to expect...there were about 65-75 participants-so many,we had to wrap them around the room. Talk about a PARTY!!
Aaron & Jesse had never done Zumba before. Both did a fantastic job-and yes, they both know how to shake it : )
During the first water break, a young lady came up to me with a huge smile and said "THANK YOU!" I said, "Thank you for what?" She replied, "I have never been able to do more than 5 mins of an exercise class because they can never keep my attention. This class is fun and amazing. It doesn't even seem like working out" Ah, the beauty of Zumba...life truly can be a party!
Many ladies from my classes came out for the fun that day! Shown to the right are two girls from my University of Mount Union class. From Mount came an SUV full of students ready to Zumba! Other locations that represented were Deerfield Friends Church of Deerfield, First Federated Church of North Jackson, Boardman Curves, & Friendship Bible Church of Randolph. A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED AND TO AARON AND JESSE FOR THIS WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY!!!
ZUMBA LOVE
