Fitness has always been an important part of my life, since the age of 8. I remember propping a camera on top of my television to record myself doing different workouts. I was the kid in middle school that took gym entirely too ​seriously.. the dodge ball champion to be exact! My peers hated it, but the gym teachers loved it! I ran track in high school, it only lasted for about a year.. I got tired of not coming in first (I know, I know.. bad sportsmanship). It's not until recently that I found love in lifting weights and building muscle. Before then, I would be the cardio queen. The elliptical machine was my getaway and I would be on it for hours. I started this blog because I feel as though black women have a bad rep when it comes to being in the gym. Many people feel as though we don't take our health as serious as we take getting our hair or nails done. This blog will put our fit sista's on display and encourage others to live a healthier lifestyle while showing them how to.
