Kathy's dancing into strength program

My name is Kathy Lucas, and I'm a CST instructor and dancer here in Japan. Anyone who knows me, knows that I love to push the envelope. I'm mad about exploring movement opportunities that seem to be anatomically impossible. I'm wicked inquisitive, stubborn, and love what I do.

While I've trained in many styles of dance over 30 years, my focus is West African Dance. I'm not a ballerina. My body is a far cry from the stereotypical Ballet body. I have my curves and resemble more of an athletic build; and am sooo fine with that. However, I want to work on creating a physically stronger body (from the inside out). I'm 39 and feel more alive in my body than ever before. Part of that has a lot to do with Tacfit. I've not only seen changes in my body, but it's also sharpened my focus, increased my flexibility, and empowered me. My body feels like it's been injected with stability after my workouts. As a dancer, I find that this is what I need. Dancers are 3 dimensional movers. We move from high levels to low. We move in lateral, posterior, ventral, and circular ways. You name it ... we'll try and do it! So in order for me to be able to explore all of these movement options as a dancer (and more) .... I seriously need to buckle down on my workouts. I'm at the point now where, (as my teacher used to say) ... 'It's put up ... or shut up time!'

Coach Hurst has inspired me on many levels throughout my journey so far. I admire him for the devotion that he has for his work, his keen eye for precision, and the fact that he doesn't give up .... For .... Nothing ... ..! (Ps ... this also makes me bite my nails when I'm around him!) He's just the person that I need for this Tacfit journey!

So here's the deal .... You can read my blogs here, and watch my workouts. 'Holla' if you see or read something that you like or dislike. I love a good debate;)
