Zumba: Party Hearty for the American Heart Assocation

Join me in a special Gab with the Gurus Radio Show on Fri., Feb. 25 at 2 pm EST (listen live or later). This show will tell you how to help raise money for a good cause, the American Heart Association, and acquaint and promote Zumba®, an exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow, calorie-burning, Latin-inspired, downright-addictive dance-fitness party™, that blends red-hot international music, created by Grammy Award-winning producers, with contagious moves.
Since its inception in 2001, Zumba Fitness — created by “happy accident” by Alberto “Beto” Perez — has grown to become the world’s largest – and most successful – dance-fitness program with more than 10 million people of all shapes, sizes and ages taking weekly Zumba classes in over 90,000 locations across more than 110 countries.
Party-hearty-main.jpg In a special Gab with the Gurus Radio Show on Fri., Feb. 25, you’re invited to learn how to Party Hearty at a Zumbathon in your community.
By this, I mean, attend a special, red hot Zumbathon in your area, get a good hearrt-healthy workout and at the same time, your donation will benefit the American Heart Association (AHA), whose mission is to help you build healthier, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
So far, more than 400+ Zumbathons nationwide have been held.
For this show, we will chat with Shahidah Ansari, an official Zumba® Jammer and teacher and co-host of the Zumbathon in New York City on Feb. 27. Plus, you’ll hear from a representative of the American Heart Association. Other guests coming.
The New York City benefit for the AHA is honoring Bonnie Appelbaum, who was diagnosed with heart disease seven years ago, underwent a bypass surgery and was blessed with a full recovery.

Institute for Integrative Nutrition: Discover the Joy

Often, I’m asked where I went to school to study health and wellness.
As a grad of the student of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), it’s my pleasure to spread the word about this amazing school, which has a fabulous mission.
The school seeks to play a crucial role in improving health and happiness, and through that process, create a ripple effect that transforms the world.
Because of getting so many questions about IIN from would-be students, I even created a post here on the Sugar Shock Blog to answer them.
But yesterday, I was honored to be joined by IIN staffer Sharon Stevens, who was kind Sharon Stevens210 enough to answer your questions about this school.
She appeared in one of the final programs of Sweeter Holiday Summit, which featured 35+ experts in health, wellness, personal empowerment, the Law of Attraction, abundance and more. (It was an awesome program — I urge you to check it out and take advantage of the Super Sale.)
* Anyhow, Sharon kindly answered a bunch of questions about the school to help those of you who may be interested in attending. For instance, she told you:
* What is a health coach?
* Who are some the leading instructors at the school? (Hint: Big names in health and wellness.)
* Where Health Coaches work.
* How attending the school can be a life-changing experience.
* What you can expect to learn at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
* About some graduates of the school, who’ve gone on to make major contributions.
* How the program is delivered.
* How you can take advantage of a special offer if you enroll this week. (You’ll receive a special Self Care gift bag.)
* How you can find out more about the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Email admissions@integrativenutrition.com or call now with questions or to enroll:

Hurrah! Computer Fixed!

After a fabulous weekend getting inspired and exhilarated by the Hay House I Can Do It! Conference in Tampa and listening to such fabulous people as Dr. Wayne Dyer, Cheryl Richardson, Marianne Williamson, Robert Holden and Dr. Brian Weiss, I came back home to a tempermental computer.
Suffice it to say that a virus blasted my computer to smithereens.
Firefox wouldn’t stay open — it was shutting down often.
Sending emails was pretty much impossible.
In short, my computer was so sluggish, sputtering and malfunctioning that I was fearful it would just die in the middle of my Sweeter Holiday webinars/teleseminars.
So I had to make a tough decision. I had to cancel last night’s programs with Gift Guru Robyn Spizman and acclaimed hypnotherapist Steve G. Jones. Don’t worry: we’re rescheduling them. How awful it would have been if my computer had shut down in the middle of a program!
Heart-smiley-face-download For hours — I think it was five, maybe six or seven — my computer guy worked hard at fixing my computer.
He had to take out my hard drive, put in a new one, install a new Windows 7, move over all my data, including the book I’m writing (Beyond Sugar Shock for Hay House), set up my email account again, etc., etc.
Tadum! I’m now a very happy woman with a super fast computer that’s making it possible to get my work done so much quicker!
My computer guy says it’s now even better than now. And thankfully, I have lots more space, too, because I was running out of space, too!
So we’re back today for the Sweeter Holiday Summit. Join us tonight’s exciting programs at 6 pm Eastern with Steve G. Jones and 8 pm Eastern with Law of Attraction expert Eva Gregory.
