Congratulations to all of our contest winners! It was extremely tough choosing the top three entries to receive prizes out of all the heartfelt and creative entries we received. In fact, we decided to add one extra prize so that we could choose four winners! All the entries were top quality, and we sincerely thank you all for entering. You're all winners at Jacki's!
Barbara's winning entry: WHY I'M STILL HOOKED ON AEROBIC DANCING From the first moment I heard that catchy music and those exciting cues and I saw those fun dance steps, I was hooked, and now, twenty-six years later, I'm STILL hooked, hooked on Aerobic Dancing! It is today and has always been a total and complete workout, imaginative, challenging, innovative, and above all, FUN! I love that you can work out at your own level of fitness and the only person you compete against is yourself. It's exciting and you feel like a dancer because the routines are choreographed simple dances. You actually get lost in the music at the same time you are strengthening your muscles, your cardiovascular system, and your entire body. Aerobic Dancing not only makes you want to move, it makes you think! What a great combination! It's also the fastest hour you will experience. When the exercise community changed from high impact to low impact, Aerobic Dancing changed with it. When importance was being placed on resistance training and weights, Aerobic Dancing made that training an integral part of its program by introducing Vertifirm. When students wanted another option apart from paying for a complete Session at one time, Aerobic Dancing began "Pay As You Go." As music trends changed, Aerobic Dancing widened its repertoire to include the latest and most current selections of all types of music while still retaining some of those oldies and goodies for fun and nostalgia. Aerobic Dancing seems to attract people who are open and caring. These people tend to remain in class year after year, always looking forward to the new Sessions when new dances and new steps are presented and the magic continues! Others have tried to copy Aerobic Dancing but there is simply nothing like it anywhere. After all these years, I can still hardly wait for Monday morning to come so I can get back to class! If I'm in a good mood, that's when I want to be in class. If I'm having a hard day, THAT'S when I want to be in class! It's one solid hour when the outside world and all its concerns are on hold and I am full of energy and happy to be alive! Yes, I'm still hooked on Aerobic Dancing!

Anne's winning entry: I am Still Hooked On Dancin' for one simple and wonderful reason...I fell in love with Jacki's Aerobic Dancing the first time I saw it in a demonstration at a mall. It was if someone had touched the real me....as if Jacki had put this program together just for me. I signed up immediately to take classes and within a year I was teaching. Jacki's choreography is so dancey, creative and fun! I just love the dancing! And when I think of all the wonderful people I have met through classes, workshops, demonstrations, conventions and the SuperSite, it's hard not to burst out in 'dance'. Imagine how empty my life would have been without all these connections to so many wonderful people? For me it's all about love...love of the dance...love of the people.... Thanks, Jacki, for keeping me Hooked On Dancin'.
Pam's winning entry: I'm still hooked on Jacki's Dancin' and I don't get it. I hate exercise. I hate to sweat. But two or three times every week for the past 2 years, I've driven my amazed self 10 miles away to stretch, bend, crunch, and dance. I'm told it is exercise and I know I sweat, but it feels different. An energetic lady who inspires us to move with the beat leads the classes. Her positive, fun attitude is contagious and I hardly realize I'm following her every move. The dance tunes fill my head and I find myself humming them all through the week. Each class I see familiar, smiling faces. After class, as I wipe the sweat from my brow, I wonder how it got there. Did I really have a workout? It didn't feel that way. I was humming the beat, perfecting my moves. I was having too much of a good time to actually be exercising. I guess it's a trick. I love some good magic. And it's the magic that keeps me hooked on Jacki's Aerobic Dancin'!
Congratulations to all of you from FitnessStuff and Jacki's Aerobic Programs SuperSite!
