If you build it...will they come!?!?!

{45 minute run + 35 minutes ChaLean Extreme}

It's my day off, so I wanted to get in some tough workouts!  Tonight I'll be tag-teaching Turbo Kick.  Justy boy took me out to dinner last night because he's been so busy and wanted to catch up on how things are going.  I know school is so busy for him, and I try not to distract him doing homework so teaching Turbo Kick two nights a week helps me to not only get my exercise in but to refrain from being super distracting!  This week I've also been working on preparing to give a talk in church.  Yes, I am freaking out.  Exercise helps to calm those nerves. 

I've been thinking a lot of how I can get more people to come to the Turbo Kick class.  I just love the workout so much and I really want others to enjoy working out as well.  I think so many times people think that workouts have to be boring, but TK is definitely a fun and powerful class.    My favorite part is that TK not only gives you an amazing cardio workout (and burns MEGA calories), but you work your arm, leg, and core muscles.  Although I have a flabby stomach, it gets tighter and tighter each time I do the workout. 

My problem:  I'm having a hard time getting more people to come to class...  I keep thinking of Field of Dreams "If you build it, he will come".  I want to get more people to class.  And, its not that I want to have the most popular class, but I enjoy teaching a larger crowd, and I really want people to love the program and see the success that I've seen with it.  I've lost 30 pounds in the last year, and TK was one of the biggest contributors.  Its interesting because with all the running I did, I didn't ever really lose weight, I just maintained (during half marathon training).  But, with Turbo Kick...it really kicks up my metabolism.  I love incorporating it into my weekly workouts.

So...my question.... what can I do to build a bigger class?  And encourage people to come have fun?

Maybe a Jamba Juice gift certificate raffle??  However many times you come to class, you get to put your name in the raffle?  And then draw at the end of the semester?    Homemade granola bars for after-class snack?  Hmm..I just can't think of what would encourage people.... Glowsticks?

I'm off to do some housework on my lovely day off....and get some major workouts in to counterbalance my being Miss Piggy last night.  BTW- the only show I really watch is Dancing with the Stars...is anyone else totally suprised Bristol Palin is still on the show?  I feel like I can relate to her, so I enjoy watching her improve...but I'm still shocked!  And..in my opinion..Jennifer Grey needs to go.  No more whining!  Ok, thats enough..

And finally.... remember to kick like a girl!!!    Turbo Kick-- Tues & Thurs 9pm @ the Hart!
