Day two of Jazzercise Tropic Heat was jam-packed with various Jazzercise classes.
After breakfast in our hotel room (healthy banana bread with peanut butter and fruit), my mom, sister and I walked to the first class of the day, Beach Club Boot Camp. The Jazzercise instructors did a great job of shuffling people around every three songs or so during this class so the nearly 2,000 Jazzercisers all had a chance to be close to the stage and really feel the energy from those teaching.
The second class was a ballet-type class that my mom, sister and I started taking together, but left about halfway through to check out the expo.
We didn’t buy any apparel, but I was awfully tempted to purchase this lime-green shirt just in case an ‘80s-themed party pops up on my agenda sometime in the future.
Lime green + Off-the-shoulder + Jazzercise-themed = ‘80s party gold
The next class we attended was led by Tim Roberts who was my favorite instructor of the day.
He was charismatic, hilarious and energizing. His class was a lot more dance-focused and participants learned a dance routine that we repeated multiple times to various songs, learning new moves along the way. His music selections kept us guessing and laughing. The Wobble. Beyoncé. Justin Bieber. Call Me Maybe. It was great!
Following Tim’s class, there was a nearly three-hour break that we used to get lunch and lounge by the hotel pool with other Jazzercise folks.
Post-pool time, we changed back into our workout gear to take two more Jazzercise classes to round out the day.

The first class was a Sultry Salsa class led by four Italian guys who definitely played up their flirtatious dance moves and worked the crowd!
Shanna Missett Nelson, the president of Jazzercise, took everyone through the final class of the day with a bunch of other instructors. It was a great way to bring Tropic Heat to a close.
I’m so glad my mom invited me and my sister to join her at this fun event. It was a great mother-daughter experience and my sister and I loved doing something my mom loves so much with her. We had a blast!

Looks like you guys had an awesome time!! And I love the lime green tshirt … brings me back to my childhood!
For some reason, people really associate jazzercize with how people regularly dressed in the 80’s. And, it makes me think of this every time https://pinterest.com/pin/43276846389637753/
Wow looks like you are having a great time:) I love your 80s outfit and by the way your abs=hot, you guys are both so pretty. Enjoy your weekend!

Ahh this looks like so much fun! You ladies look like you had a great time. I think you need that lime green top. 😉
One of these days you are gonna wish you had purchased that lime green top!!

Love this event! That expo looks great!
Looks like so much fun! I would totally try a Jazzercise class if they had them here.
Everything looks so fun! I love that pink top in the first picture – and the green one is cute too 🙂
I used to go to Jazzercise w/ my mom back in high school/college. It was always so fun!
That pic of the 4 male instructors looks like it could be from the movie Magic Mike 🙂
Looks like so much fun! It reminds me a lot of Zumba! What a fun weekend too with your mom and sister! I wish mine would do something like this with me! It looks awesome 🙂
I must say I’m completely jealous. Living far away from my mom is hard, makes me wish I could have an awesome mother/daughter weekend!
Your weekend sounds like so much fun!!
This looks like so much fun! The clothes look awesome too…I kind of wish I jazzercised just so I could wear them!
So fun! I agree you should’ve definitely bought that green top lol.
Love your headband….where did you get it? So cute!
Looks like i’ve been beaten to it… but you should have gotten the top! Looks great on you!!
Looks like you had fun. I love bonding time with my mom and sister and I. I like your workout top, where did you get it?
Cute swimsuit! 🙂
Oh Julie, that looks like a blast! I have never taken a jazzercise class? What is the difference between it and Zumba?
Your so lucky to have your mom and sister there and that they love to be as active as you! I think that is pretty cool.
The apparel looked pretty cute too!
What fun! I’m looking up Jazzercise to see if it’s ever in the Indianapolis area.
P.S. I got Fresh market’s new coconut coffee and it is AMAZING- made me think of you and all your coffee flavors! Try that one- yumm!!!
This was a very special post. Being able to share something with your mom (sister too) that is healthy and active is just awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!!! I hope one day I’ll get to go with my sorority sister from college, we LOVE jazzercise and she might become an instructor! It would be a great excuse for us to get to see eachother since we live so far apart!
Okay, I’m officially jealous! This weekend looks like such a blast… especially the sultry salsa class haha wow! You must be Jazzercised out 🙂 Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!!
Ah! This looks so fun! And btw you look like the perfect 80’s jazzercize babe in that outfit!
You always look awesome but you look awesome in all these photos! Look at those abs!! 😀
That would be so fun, especially with your mom and sister! I wish my mom would do something like that, but right now she’s really into walking every morning. It’s a start for sure! I can’t wait to be home later this summer to hang out with her on her walks.
I just wanted to let you know I’ve nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. I’ve really enjoyed reading all of your fitness tips. You’ve inspired me to try some new workouts, and they’ve really kicked my butt! You can read more about the award in my latest post here: http://fitbuttfabulous.wordpress.com/2012/07/01/who-me/
Have fun with Jazzercise this weekend. My mom and I have been doing Zumba together this summer–it’s a great way to spend time together.
Thanks for being inspirational!
thank you so much, katie!
That looks like a fun girls weekend! Glad you enjoyed your time. Haha, that sweater is so 80’s. I went to an 80’s party and wore an almost identical looking sweater to that one, only it was bright pink 😉
Looks like so much fun!! I wish I lived closer to my mom so I could see her more often!
All of the clothes are adorable!
your abs are FANTASTIC!!
Hi! After a couple busy weeks I’m finally getting around to catching up on blogs, so I just saw this post and I had to comment. A couple weeks ago I was in Orlando for a cost estimating conference (yep, it was as enthralling as it sounds… 🙂 and when I was getting ready to leave at the end of the week I started seeing a bunch of things that said Jazzercise on it and assumed there was some sort of “Jazzercise Conference” starting that weekend. Apparently I was right! 🙂 Now I just wish I could have stayed longer and done the Jazzercise event too!
aw, that would’ve been so fun!
This looks like so much fun! I’ve never done jazzercise but I had a colleague that absolutely loved it.
