Eight Rochester "Jazzercisers" participated in a Timberwolves halftime show that was also a fundraiser for Drug Abuse Resistance Education, as part of a group of 120 Jazzercisers from around Minnesota on March 2 at the Target Center.
The Jazzercisers who performed the routine were not professional dancers. The program offers a fusion of jazz dance, resistance training, Pilates, yoga and kickboxing movements.

Tip of the day
Heloise says
Did you know that you lose most of the nutrients in a cucumber when you peel it? The peel contains all of the vitamins, such as A, B-6 and C. Instead of completely removing the peel, use a vegetable peeler and leave thin strips. When sliced, you’ll hardly notice it, and you’ll be getting some of the nutritional value.
