| "My
belief is that movement is life and you can't be living life to its fullest unless you're
as physically fit as you can possibly be. |
 |
Therefore,
my goal is to motivate you to live a more aerobic lifestyle, no matter how active--or
inactive--you may already be." - Jacki
Sorensen |

A
Summer Collection |
 Ah,
Summer! Summer means the warmth of the sun, beach vacations,
exquisite fruit, and lots of play time! Come play at Jacki's where
we transform exercise--something that's so good for you!--into fun. At
Jacki's, every class will provide you
with a complete and safe aerobic workout, including floorwork to exercise
your abdominal muscles and light strength training. The exercise is
what initially brings us to class, but the classes are much more. We want to touch your heart and stir the passion in you! Work out at
your own level; there's no competition here. We build our muscles,
strength, and balance one class at a time, and we also build friendships
while we learn and laugh together.
If you've never stuck with an exercise program
before, give us a try! Just come to a class
to see
why our students are hooked on the creative choreography that is uniquely
Jacki's. All ages and abilities welcome! Choose Jacki's Aerobic
Dancing, StrongStep™,
or Workout
classes to fit your lifestyle and personality. Make the commitment
to exercise with the program you'll actually enjoy and look forward to. Check the Class
Locator to find a Jacki's class near you. We'll see you in class!

On March 18, 2007, Jacki
Sorensen, along with other fitness leaders, was inducted into
the National Fitness Hall of Fame. The celebration took place in Addison, Illinois. The
mission of the National Fitness Hall of Fame is to "preserve the
History of Fitness, recognize those who helped create it as well as produce
publications and programs which help to produce 'Fit & Healthy
Families.'" The
National Fitness Museum in Minooka, Illinois, is open to the public
and now includes a Jacki Sorensen display. The
museum display includes a binder of stories and comments regarding
how Jacki's aerobic programs have affected lives. If you would like to write
something for the museum display, please do! Mail your written
submissions or Jacki's memorabilia directly to the museum at their mailing address:
National Fitness Museum, P.O. Box 520, Minooka, IL 60447.
Students, franchisees, instructors, and all whose lives have been touched by
Jacki are welcome to participate. Congratulations,
Jacki! We are delighted that you have been honored for all
you have done for us over the years!

Seasons
of Love and Life with Aerobic Dancing |
|
 To
dance is what we do!
To dance is what we love!
Our favorite words are "cues"!
Inspired
by the Seasons of Love session (Winter 2006), the
San Antonio, Texas, Aerobic Dancers and their
Instructors, Elaine Gardner
and Phyllis Patterson, sent
Jacki a heartfelt poem. The presentation is so cute, it's
reproduced here as an Adobe Acrobat file, so you can see their
design talents as well as their creative poem. Click
here* to open the poem in Acrobat (PDF) format.
(Hint: The file is two pages and may take a moment to load,
so please be patient.) Thank
you, San Antonio Aerobic Dancers!

view the poem, you will need to have the Adobe Acrobat Reader
installed on your computer. To install the free Acrobat
