Zumba, Dance, Mommy Fitness, She Does It All! Amanda Leigh Reynolds

Say Hello to Amanda Leigh Reynolds! 

If you are looking for a way to fitness, I will tell you, She is WONDERFUL. 

Not only is she a great instructor, but she is very motivated, dedicated and optimistic. From personal experience from attending some of her Zumba classes, I had a blast! She really makes it fun and she's personally fun, friendly and outgoing. She is always so happy, and smiley and I absolutley love that about her. 

               Amanda offer's several fitness programs through out each week that vary from dance education to fitness programs.   In the dance education field, Amanda offers dance lessons such as Acrobatics, Hip Hop, Jazz, Stretch & Strength, and Tap for all levels from ages 2-adult at her dance school "Ballet And All That Jazz" in East Greenbush, NY.  At the same location, Amanda offers Mommy & Baby Fitness sessions & Zumba Fitness. How awesome is that? 



I love the concept of Mommy and Baby fitness, So I had asked her to explain more about the program and this is her explanation : "The Mommy & Baby Fitness Workout & Play is an action-packed class and includes a large variety of fun, easy to follow but intense fitness for Mom and Baby. We start with our creative warm up for mom with baby together, a “mommy only” fitness segment (babies are right beside us watching!), mom and baby strengthening and conditioning (we ALWAYS include abdominal and core work) and our cool down stretch and “mommy meditation.  Following the fitness is our huge repertoire of “infant stimulation”; songs, rhymes, fingerplays, kneebouncers, parachute activities, bubbles, and so much more.  

The class concludes with a group discussion, occasional “special guest speakers”, and “show and tell’. A must for every new mom and baby! From May until November, the 90 minute Mommy & Baby Stroller Fitness sessions includes a power warm-up with baby, followed by cross-training exercises for a total body muscular strengthening and conditioning while pushing baby in stroller.  Every session includes an additional (also optional) 30 minutes Infant Stimulation segment consisting of fun parachute play, bubble play, and unforgettable songs and rhymes you’ll adore to play with your Lovey for years to come! 

Say “Goodbye Mommy jeans!” in my 50 minute MOMS ONLY Mommy Boot Camp.  As the class name implies, these sessions are specifically targeted for Moms looking to improve their level of fitness in a “dive right in” environment.  Every session includes cardio blast training, stretching and strengthening, core priming and much more! And finally, Mommy & Baby Fitness™ & Zumba® Fitness combines a 90 minute DANCE & PLAY program!  

You can bring your lovey to watch you SHAKE IT at our Zumba Fitness session then have fun playing interactive games such as signing/rhyming, parachute games and bubble activities during our 30 minute small fry stimulation segment afterwards.  All of my MBF classes are a great way to connect with other moms!  "




I asked Amanda, what is one her most favorite times in her classes. She replied: "There are countless rewards, it's so hard to narrow it down!  To me, the most rewarding is the priceless friendships I have with my clients.  Between the dance families, the Mama's and their babies and Zumba fitness fans included, I really cherish the support everyone has for one another from one session to the next.  I have come upon amazing families through my programs and each family is very admirable and inspiring."

Not only is Amanda a great instructor with many certified accomplishments, and more on the way, Amanda is also a wonderful mom of two beautiful girls and part of a wonderful supporting family.     
                                        

So if your looking to fit a new you, or looking for someone to help you stay motivated, please consider having Amanda as part of your life in health and fitness and friendship! She is so energetic and her personality is amazing!
