Bio:

Jessica Vasquez Cruz

 

Jessica says that as a child she was always described as chubby or plump and this had an effect on her self esteem. She looks back and realises that actually she didn’t really enjoy sports and it wasn’t until she discovered a flamenco class that her young life really changed.

 

 Speaking about her childhood Jessica says "Hind sight is a great thing, but it demonstrates only to clearly that you have to love the activity your involved with to draw the true meaning from the words “eat well and exercise”………young children often blame themselves for being uninvolved when actually, it is a matter of finding what it “right” for them."

 

Flamenco and Salsa dancing became Jessica’s passion and from this she discovered a love of aerobic videos. She used to practice these at home and then started to put together her own routines and plans.

 

This continued for years and finally after the birth of her first child, she trained to become an instructor. She then allowed her true Spanish and South American nfluences to become her trademark and her popularity as a teacher soared as class after class filled out wanting to keepfit to such great moves and great music.

 

7 years on she is now a trainer for "wanna be" instructors and her journey inspires her students not only on technique but also the idea that each teacher is an individual and to focus on developing your own strengths.

 

We are thrilled to have Jessica on the site and her sensitive and intuitive teaching style we know will endear her to you guys as much as to us……Ola Jessica!!

 

What drives Jessica?

Watching other instructors teach to perfection inspires me to keep pushing to do my best. I have a thirst for knowledge and always want to learn more and progress my skills to higher levels. The talent in ThinQ Fitness is incredible and I feel inspired when I see other videos on the site and know and understand the work load which goes into each and every class. The best instructors make it look absolutely easy to teach, to cue, to throw in jokes and to keep their choreography on track, but it is actually extremely hard to do.

 

Why is fitness important to Jessica?

Life is too short to spend it being unhealthy and unfit. Looking after your health is a way of life not a chore. The pursuit of a healthy body is on your terms and no one else’s and should stem from being driven by pleasure not duty. Other people will warm to your confidence, your kindness, your humour and your spirit, not your waist line, so although being in your BMI range keeps you on the right track, it needs to be held as an aspect of your overall health and happiness, not the only thing.


Jessica’s Tips:


• Mix it up, try different types of exercise for variety, balance and to improve fitness levels in all areas
• Avoid big gaps between meals
• Pick realistic goals for you to achieve every 12 weeks….and reward yourself
 
Classes available: London area, G.B.
Specialist Areas: Aerobics, Conditioning, Latin Style.......
Proudest Moments: My children, working for YMCA fit as a tutor assistant and studying for my Certificate in education

Description

Jessica takes us through a great Latino Aerobics workout video.

 

We think that the breakdown is so smooth and user friendly that a beginner could catch on to at least a good chunk of this and after a couple of repetitions be well away and familiar with all the base moves.

 

Jessica has a warm, humorous and chatty teaching style, making you feel at ease and very welcome.....we know Jessica is extremely welcome with us here at ThinQ Fitness and we look forward to allot more classes from this bubbly instructor.

 

Please note this video uses higher quality video when either medium or high is selected in your My Account video preferences. If you experience playback issues please select a lower quality.

It's been over a year now that I had been out of exercising but I always had fond memories of doing this class and I just had to have a go at it again now I am exercising again,and I still have the same feelings....I love this class!! It is so much fun and taught so down to earth and with humour,and I am not doing too bad at picking up the choreography,better in some places in fact than before,but still battling a bit with some of the moves but I am aiming to get it spot on soon; a smile throughout the class :-) Thank you Jessica xx

IM BACK! and Jessica you have worn me out, loving the dancey areobics - love dance but milas a bit too fast for me... ive been getting back into my dancing but had a turn for the worse n got sicker again so ive come back for that little push to do some exercise! i really cant grasp that opposite hand to the leg thing O.o...confuses the hell outta me! i have to say the quick changes are really good, the control you have to have in latino dance really helps the muscles..... i must say im dying to try this in my new red shoes i bought as a treat for losing a stone =D

I absolutely love,love,love this workout and I am getting better and better at learning the moves in the class and I thoroughly enjoy this workout a great deall. I add this class once a week for my cardio as it elevates my heart rate and sweat appears so I know I'm having a good workout. Thanks Jessica and pleeeeease do some more classes especially dance ones!! Have a fab day!!

Hi Caroline, I'm glad you like the class. You are doing the right thing by doing the same class more than once. That is the way that you will familiarize yourself with all the moves etc. Everyone starts the same way. I can remember doing my first home videos and I only really new the moves inside and out because I did them a good few times a week. It will get easier, keep up the good work and I'm sure you will be a pro in no time!! :-)

I really enjoy this class and I regularly come back to it but honestly I do find it very challenging. I am very new to working out and I am not familiar at all with choreography. Iv'e done this class about 3 o 4 times and It does get a little easier the more times I do it but its still frustrating for me personally to get the moves right. So even though I love this class its still hard. But... all that said Jessica is a fab trainer and has a great personallity which adds to the enjoyment of the class. Just like with Pauls beginners step-I SHALL PREVAIL!!!! lol!! x
