Jill Jayne is a registered dietitian and the energetic, creative force behind Jump with Jill<\/a>, a health program that \"PIC\"makes nutrition and health fun for kids by combining music with entertaining fitness lessons. The live\u00a0Jump with Jill<\/em>\u00a0show has been performed 1,000 times for 250,000 kids all over the United\u00a0States and Europe.<\/p>\n

Jump with Jill has also partnered with the National Watermelon Promotion Board in each of the last four years to help get people excited about watermelon.<\/p>\n

Yes, watermelon has been front-and-center in Jill\u2019s shows, and a headphone-wearing watermelon mascot named DJ Homeslice has been one of the stars. (That\u2019s J. Slice with Jill on the right and DJ Homeslice on the orange pedestal below.)<\/p>\n

DJ Homeslice also accompanies Jill in some of her \u201cWatermelon Workouts<\/a>\u201d music videos. Last year, I showed you Jill\u2019s ode to \u201cRocky\u201d<\/a> (which was shot in Rocky\u2019s hometown of Philadelphia). She\u2019s also created a \u201cFlashdance\u201d-style video \u2014 with DJ Homeslice along for all the action \u2014 which she filmed in Pittsburgh. Check it out below, and relive the crazy 80\u2019s all over again!<\/p>\n
