All Deez Squats…

Neutrals

I don't always workout when I'm supposed to (more like hardly ever these days!) but one thing I don't miss is my squats!! Thanks Idris! lol! I follow a lot of fitness pages & one thing that irks me is the disbelief that hard work & dedication can give you the body that you want. More specifically get you the booty you want! That's how you get everything else you want in life, why wouldn't your body be the same?! I've never been a big booty chick (or even a medium! I'm more of a super smedium) but being a black female, I can honestly say I've been body conscious about it since at least high school. When I started getting in to fitness it was purely to get healthy…

Results Are In!!

Neutrals

Well my dears, #NoWaistNovember has come to an end! I'm happy & sad to see it go! Not to mention the year is slipping away. Before you know it it'll be swimsuit season & we'll be showing off all the hard work we've been doing! Speaking of showing off, I told you guys I'd share my results from #NoWaistNovember & here they are: I ordered & received my waist cincher on week 2 & I can tell the difference. You can also tell the difference between week 3 & week 4- yeah, I fell prey to the "Thanksgiving & slack on the gym" bug. Lol! Regardless of that my waist did shrink from 29" to 27 1/2" over the month!! I wish it would have shrunk more but there's only…

#NoWaistNovember

Neutrals

It's the last week of November!!! -you know what that means, we've made it to the home stretch!! Don't give up now!! Idk about you but it's a slim (& I mean SUPER slim) chance I'll reach my goals by the 30th & I'm okay with that!! My body has changed for the better these past few weeks & I know my fitness journey is far from over! This week we're gonna go out in a blaze of glory! I mean, we're practically ab experts at this point PLUS the biggest cheat day on the planet (aka Thanksgiving) is this week & we should prepare for all the damage we're possibly going to do. #thestruggle lol! Week 4 Time to sweat it out for mouth-dropping midriff like @followthelita!! Let's start…

#NoWaistNovember

Neutrals

Can you feel the burn?!! Alright guys, it's week 3 and by now you should be good in your routine & noticing some changes. You might not have the rock hard abs or the flat tummy you want, but perhaps you've noticed a slimmer silhouette or a stronger core. No victory is too small!! I'm having a SUPER busy week -one of those weeks when you hafta schedule everything (including sleep!) in order to get it all done. But that's still no excuse for missing a workout! As my new gym pal Jesmon told me "Being in the gym all day doesn't mean anything. You can be in the gym for hours & not do anything, or come in for about 30mins everyday & get in a quick, but effective…

#NoWaistNovember

Neutrals

So you've been focusing on your core all week & perhaps you haven't seen much of a change. That's okay!! Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day! & don't let others discourage you from your goal! Now on to this weeks exercises! **I am NOT a fitness expert!!!!** I'm simply sharing routines, exercises & recipes I use I decided to kick my waist training up a notch by ordering a waist cincher (aka a corset). One of my favorite fitness gurus, Jenelle aka GetBodiedBy_J, posted some pics of herself exercising with it on her IG & being that I dream of a banging body like hers I decided to do the same! If y'all coulda seen me tryna wrestle to get this thing on..... Lol! I've only worn it twice…

#NoWaistNovember

Neutrals

I haven't posted anything fitness related in a while, but those of you who follow me on IG know I've been keeping it up (yay me!!). I must admit I feel better than I have in a very long time & I'm definitely gonna continue this fitness thing! I know a thing guys (& some girls, yuck) do in November is "No Shave November" to prepare for the cold weather. Another thing people do in the winter is pack on the pounds. Now I get it, the stuff your face holidays are during this time but since when did gorging yourself for 2 days equal gaining 10 pounds in 2 months? Well if you're on your fitness tip & are silently dreading the cold like me, I'm here to help…

Ya girl is getting in a workout on the regular, eating healthier & basking in the results :-) I've been successful with short term goals & if it ain't broke don't fix it! Fitness challenges are pretty easy to find on IG so feast your eyes on the my latest project It requires no gym equipment, jus open space & willpower!

Get That Core Tight!

Neutrals

So how are you guy's fitness plans going? I'm not gonna lie, the struggle is REAL!! but I've managed to (for the most part) stick to eating healthier & working out regularly. One of the main areas I'm focused on improving is my tummy. I don't have a gut but I'm tired of sucking it in & pretending I have a flat stomach -I wanna have a flat stomach whether I suck it in or not! & while we're at it, might as well shoot for some abs too. lol! Well luckily for me one of my favorite fitness gurus Get Bodied by J posted an intense ab workout this week!

Spot the Block!!

Neutrals

[youtube http://youtu.be/unlhHbpukt8] All my cartoon lovers might remember that goody! It's a silly song but they're telling the truth. All the exercise in the world wont get you 100% results if your eating habits are bad. I know I'm guilty of grabbing a snack or fixing a plate full of food then stuffing (more like OVER-stuffing) my face.until I'm no longer hungry. Prime example- you grab a bottle of soda, juice or even one of those yummy Naked smoothies and down the whole thing. However if you had've "spot the block" before that, you'd see that only 8oz (about half the bottle) is the proper serving size. The issue is a lot of use are on the "see food" diet -we see food, we eat it. We're full but why waste…

#Motivation

Neutrals

Every now & then many of us get a lil un-enthuzed on the road to health and fitness. Whether your body isn't changing fast enough for your liking or perhaps you've hit a plateau -we sometimes get discouraged to continue the journey. Well one of my fit-spirations, @FollowTheLita took it upon her self to help us out & kick us out of our funk! Excellence Over Good If you stop when you’re satisfied with good you may never know what excellence feels like. Sometimes a little accomplishment distracts us from excellence!
