Get Spring-Time Off the Ground as you spring into Prancercise®!!
Prancercise® tips for getting in shape this year!
1. Whatever mood you are in go with it and use the music that your mood desires, to get you moving..This is all a part of self-expression and connecting with your inner rhythm an integral part of Prancercise®..By not standing in front of a video or class instructor and imitating others you can work through whatever mood you’re in instead of using their moves, with their music ,and their routine…
2. Find different locations to Prancercise® to stimulate your senses and mood..I’ve utilized everywhere from cornfields to mountains..Each place embodies it’s own smells and scenery to embellish your fitness recess..
3.Think of being light and eating light…Embracing a higher consciousness which is reinforced by eating light (such as vegetarianism) and thinking positively are wonderful ways to get the most out of this program..I am able to spring off the ground with ease..such a great feeling and way to keep fit, as we enjoy the benefits of the warming spring- time weather..
Prancercise® is a light-hearted fun exercise that’s gotten international recognition for it’s depth, uniqueness and effectiveness..It get’s us moving without effort because it’s simple, not overly challenging, and fun..It’s even recently been highlighted as a question on the popular game shows “Jeopardy” (April 2, 2014), and “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” (June 6, 2014).

2014 Year of the Horse and Prancercise®
The New Year has passed in a sea of fireworks and whistles. While we rotate 365 days a year around the sun under the Gregorian calendar, the Chinese calendar runs under a different celestial being – the moon. January 31st will begin a new lunar phase and ring in the Chinese New Year as the Year of the Horse. Surely, it will be a perfect year to Prancercise ®.
As the horse stands tall this year, we have a lot to look forward to in terms of surprises. According to the zodiac we can look forward to unexpected adventures, romances and victories for those who swiftly take flight, like the horse, and capitalize on opportunities as they arise. It’s a good year to travel and get off the beaten path.
Energy will be high, meaning this year is the perfect year to put those fitness goals into action. Perhaps the Prancercise ® gallop will be the answer to reigning in all that energy.
According to Wikipedia, 2014 is the Year of the Wood Horse.
“In Chinese Taoist thought, Wood attributes are considered to be strength and flexibility, as with bamboo. It is also associated with qualities of warmth, generosity, co-operation and idealism. The Wood person will be expansive, outgoing and socially conscious. The wood element is one that seeks ways to grow and expand. Wood heralds the beginning of life, springtime and buds, sensuality and fecundity. Wood needs moisture to thrive.”
With Canada already introducing horse-themed postage stamps, clothing brand DKNY releasing an equine collection and Armani Exchange shelving a Year of the Horse t-shirt, the world is forecasted to be catching hay-fever over the roan-trend. At Prancercise LLC we like to think we’re ahead of the times, trotting ahead of the parade in typical Prancercise ® fashion.
Joanna will be joining a motivational radio interview on this concept and her insights with Change Already radio host, Jillian Maas Backman.

Joanna hopes to utilize her growing creative energy this year with a new video and perhaps a very light-hearted book publication. Like a wood horse reflects strength and flexibility, Joanna in her Prancercise® program promotes the same through stretching, such as yoga (can be looked up on YouTube under Prancercise® yoga, or CLICK HERE) for flexibility, strength and endurance through the 4 modes of Prancercise® themselves.
As outlined in the following article Robert Forester points out the advantages of a Prancercise® type movement versus typical running. This article was written prior to Prancercise® being known by the majority of the public, though Prancercise® was created long before this article was written in 1989.
The Nature and Nurture of Running For Fitness
So why not tap into your energy and get off the usual path you take which is likely over-beaten, and cultivate dreams and goals you may have filed away…don’t wait!
As Buddha said, “The trouble is you think you have time.”
YouTube Rewind 2013 – Prancercise® Always
Its been a big year for Prancercise® LLC. Since the initial YouTube viral video craze of May, to music videos, commercials and a lot of network airtime, it’s safe to say we have reason to celebrate as we gallop into 2014.
Recently, Prancercise® owner and founder, Joanna Rohrback, accepted an exclusive invite by YouTube to take part in their video mash-up of 2013.
“To celebrate 2013, we invited some YouTubers to star in a mashup of popular moments this year. Can you spot all the references?” says YouTube Spotlight in its video caption.
Joanna can be found leading her trademark horse-inspired moves to a line of Robin Thicke-esque dancers before all 60 YouTube stars break out into the Harlem Shake.
Yes, this year has been a whirlwind.
“This past year has introduced me to the hypercritical life a celebrity experiences…the groundswell of joy and fun I’ve obviously been able to deliver to masses of people…autographs, pictures with me and hugs,” gushes Joanna as she reflects.
Through all the attention she remains humble and optimistic as the dust begins to settle. “The future holds a host of possibilities. On the horizon some possibilities are a reality show, my own studio to teach classes and, ideally, franchises.”
As the Prancercise® team and network begins to form together we ask you to also reflect back on your year in 2013. Get out in nature, meditate, be thankful for your body and get it moving. Get out there and start to learn how to Prancercise®, the book and short video are a good place to start until we can offer more instruction! Don’t worry what people might think, because essentially your own well-being is reflective of you.
Take it from Joanna herself. “Let them laugh,” she says, “Who would pay attention to a boring, average, everyday video? I am so glad…I have my confidence.”
Types of Strength Training: Pros and Cons
What type of exercises cause the most injuries? It has been shown that weight training causes a hefty portion of sports injuries and some can be permanent. There is very little need to do more than isometrics and isotonics for muscle tone unless your dream is to be a competitive body builder or you’re sold on a very muscular “Macho” image. Flexibility derived from exercises like yoga and swimming, and aerobic exercises like Prancercise®combined with spot isometric and isotonic exercises, can give a person a well-rounded and fit body. I personally use light ankle/wrist weights during Prancercise® and during my pre and post preparation for it.
