Forever FIT Member Spotlight:
Linda Hahn
 I have to say - I love Linda's spunk! When she first started coming to classes, I reached out to her to join Forever FIT. And her response?? "What the hell! We have the same initials!" She's just too much! I love seeing her in classes. She is a confident and energetic woman that is fun to watch and be in the presence of!
Here is what Linda had to say:
"In March 2020 when gyms closed due to the surge in COVID-19 cases, I was disappointed to miss my 2-3 times a week Zumba classes. I sometimes joined my husband in his online video fitness workouts, but when I heard that Lauren Hanan, an instructor I knew, was holding classes online, but LIVE, I was excited and joined on the recommendation of a neighbor and fellow Zumbie, who said it was great. And it sure is!
I am a 72-year-old energetic wife, mom and grandmom with a very busy schedule even during COVID. I zoom social calls, seminars and visits with the kids. I take piano and Spanish classes and do a lot of reading, cooking and film watching these days. I babysit our youngest, 14 months old. But I always make time for a Lauren class 3-4 times a week. I love them live when I can see friends and the workout has its social element, but it is also so great to use the video classes from Lauren’s library whenever I have time. I can pick and choose the kind of workout I’m in the mood for. I have never felt better. I bet I am exercising more now than before gym closures, because of the convenience of having my own weights, shower nearby and no need to leave the house. It is time efficient! And rain can no longer be an excuse.
I want to add how gentle and encouraging Lauren is. I have seen tapes where the instructors are like drill sergeants. That yelling only serves to give me a headache and is the opposite of motivational. In Lauren’s classes no one is made to feel less than or ashamed. It is really one’s own pace. I am shocked that the duration I can hold a plank has increased steadily. I started out near zero seconds and I felt no embarrassment whatsoever.
My goal is to ward off osteoporosis, stay off medications and feel great. A little tighter tummy wouldn’t hurt either."

Starbucks Beverages
160 Calories or Less
Starbucks is delicious. Period. But, the place gets even better around the holidays! The crave-worthy beverages can warm my soul, curb my sweet tooth, and satisfy that need to splurge!
But, is it really worth the hundreds of empty calories that can result form one delicious latte? I don't think so.
So, I thought I'd share some tips and tricks to get a healthier holiday beverage and still feel festive!
