Can it really be twenty years? Please say no. It seems like just yesterday I finally retired my last pair of High Top Reebok Freestyle Aerobics shoes. Next thing I’ll be talking to Gin Miller all about the beginning of Step Aerobics…. Hey, that’s not a bad idea… maybe I should look into getting her on the show 
UPDATE: Here is the interview I did with Gin Miller. http://www.groupfitnessradio.com/fitness-presenters/episode-9-gin-miller-and-twenty-20-years-of-step-aerobics/

You guys, the first thing I want you to know about Fred Hoffman is what a genuinely nice person he is! I so enjoyed talking with him. We discuss a number of the many projects he is involved in and his presentations at this years IDEA Conference in Aneheim, CA, August 12-16, 2009. He has a lot of experience and knowledge to share with us. I am certain he will be on GFTR again soon so keep a look out for him!

Meet Suzelle Snowden, President and founder of FitBodies, Inc. Hear from Suzelle how you can travel to exotic locations and stay at fabulous all-inclusive (yes, this includes adult beverages) resorts as a traveling fitness professional. I’ve had the opportunity to travel with FitBodies over 25 times in the last 12 years and it has been great for my marriage and family.
If you are interested in how I make it work for me, let me know by posting a comment below. If there is enough interest, perhaps I will do a separate show on the ins and outs of traveling on a budget as a fitness pro. Enjoy!
