It is designed to make the public aware of the benefits of a lifelong program of regular moderate physical activity as prescribed by the Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity and Health.

Engaging in a moderate amount of physical activity, such as taking a brisk, 30-minute walk on most days of the week, is recommended to prevent the onset of health problems. “Jazzercise offers a fun and effective workout including a warm-up, aerobic muscle-toning and cool-down segments that nurture a great mind-body connection,” says Kilbane. “We are excited about celebrating fitness and health by offering a free trial week May 1-15 as well as an exciting registration offer of $20 for the first month of classes.”
