Here in Ohio it looks as though it has decided to finally be Spring...and I am not the only one who is saying "IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!" Well you know what comes with the change of seasons and improvement of weather=SPRING CLEANING! Did you know that housework is a great way to burn those calories? Besides going to the gym this was another way that helped me lose my weight! So if the weather is not motivation enough to get that cleaning done...here is some more info to get you started: These examples are based on a person who weighs 150 pounds. Remember, you will burn more if you weigh more, and burn fewer calories if you weigh less.
Gardening- 49 calories/10 mins; Climbing stairs- 175 calories/10 mins; Cleaning Gutters- 60 calories/10 mins; Loading/Unloading Car- 18 calories/5 mins; Putting Away Groceries- 30 calories/10 mins; Ironing- 38 calories/15 mins; Rake Lawn- 90 calories/20 mins; Washing Car- 102 calories/20 mins; Mopping- 102 calories/20 mins; Push Mow- 148 calories/30 mins; Rearranging Furniture- 150 calories/20 mins; Remodeling- 198 calories/30 mins; Basic Housework- 99 calories/30 mins
If you are unable to get a workout in-start cleaning!! : ) If you're moving, you're burning!! Use calorie counters such as http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc to help you keep track! And remember output must be more than intake! : )

Master Class with Doug & Joan!
On Saturday April 2nd, I got the chance to attend a Master Class led by Doug & Joan Jones (owners of Studio Fitness) at the Newton Falls Community Center. This event was led by Heather Kovac-another wonderful Zumba instructor in my area. The Master Class was a great time filled with high energy Zumba routines! It is always inspiring to see a room filled with people who want t
o be more healthy. As I have said before, Zumba is a great way to sneak in a workout, but have fun doing it too~

Face of Fitness-THANK YOU!!
Hey Everyone! Thank you so much for your support this past week with the Face of Fitness Contest! I ended up 4th out of a whole bunch of women ( over 200!!). I feel extremely blessed to have made it so far in the rankings! I am happy that, through this contest, I was able to share my story with so many people. My whole goal from the beginning was, and still is, to motivate as many people as I can to live a healthy life. Thank you for helping me on my way to achieving that goal!
