I have been taking part in spinning classes at the Jay Community Center since they were introduced in 2005. I started teaching spinning classes in 2006 and became a certified spinning instructor in 2010. I am also certified in CPR.
I like to teach spinning classes using the five common positions known as the seated flat, the standing flat, the seated climb, the standing climb and jumps. As you become acquainted with the class, I will introduce more difficult moves such as running with resistance and sprints. I use a variety of music styles which really moves the class along.
In my spinning class, you will definitely lose inches and become more toned from the waist down. This spinning class, combined with a healthy diet and maybe some added weight training, will definitely help you lose weight. During a typical spinning class, you could burn up to 700 calories. Some of my students have been known to call me the “Spinning Nazi” because I push them to reach their goals (and then some). So come on and join in the fun and see what kind of results you can get from this fantastic cardio workout.
Nancy has been Spinning for about 7 years and is currently a certified Spinning instructor. When she first started she could only do parts of the Spinning workout, not realizing how sedentary her lifestyle had become. Now she has gained muscle strength, muscle tone and has better cardiovascular output which allows for better workouts and more activity. Nancy enjoys Spinning and uses it to improve her overall health and weight management.
Nancy is married to Jeff and has 3 grown children. She is a nurse employed by The Jay School Corporation and Persimmon Ridge. She also works on the family farm raising cattle and grain farming.
Nancy is actively involved with Jay County 4-H as a volunteer and attends Fairview United Methodist Church.
