Working out on the Southside
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If you put the words “fitness Fayette Georgia” into the Google search engine, you’ll come up with a decent listing of places to workout for those of us on the Southside and in particular, in Fayette County.
There’s World Gym, Maximum Output, Curves and more. But there’s one place I couldn’t find in that listing and that is a place called Jazzercise.
Diane Hood ran the franchise out of the Fayette United Methodist Church gym for several years, but recently opened up her very own place behind Waffle House on Ga. 85 in the middle of Fayetteville.
As a Jazzercise for years, I can only tell you it’s the perfect exercise for me. There are several reasons why: There’s no intimidation factor at all; Plenty of explanation about how to perform the exercise properly and maybe best of all is the fabulous music to exercise by.
In the hour-long classes, there’s a bit of stretching followed by a cardio workout, then on to abdominal work and strength training and then ending with a good stretching routine.
As I mentioned before, it works for me and it works for me about three times a week. On my off days I do get on a treadmill, but it’s not nearly as much fun. Any of you out there on the exercise path? If so, what works for you?
