I could never hate morning workouts. It’s such a fulfilling way to start my day. These pictures were taking in honor of the work I completed for myself earlier today. Lol 🤸🏾‍♂️🎉

Alright by KendrickLamar came on during my workout and as I’m fighting to do the last reps. the song starts “all my life, I had to fight.” Okay, okay I’m so aligned with this moment. I then thought to myself, damn have I been fighting all my life and what for and was/is it worth it?

Love, Acceptance, Racism and prejudices, colorism, fake ones, jealousy, limited thinking and sometimes for just my own damn opinion to be heard. Some of this things a person shouldn’t have to fight for or against but that’s the world we live in.

Do we all fight? Are we put here to fight…. I’on know just some random thoughts. But here’s what I do know, I definitely have to fight to get out the bed sometimes and through the workouts however. I realize this is where I actually like to fight.
This is worth it. Lol

Truth is I really only love working out once a month and that time is a week leading into my cycle. This last about 2 weeks even during. It’s a non negotiable for my body. Lol Perhaps is because I feel like I’m bloating or I’m craving foods and not denying myself much guilt 😫.Either way, I take advantage of the time.

Consistency can be hard when you have Adult ADHD (it’s so common lately), life happens, or you have others that depend on you, but the point is no matter when… you owe it to yourself to work your body for you.

Anywho, happy moving! 🧑🏽‍🩰🤸🏾‍♂️

Here are some core exercises that although are very leg and glute heavy, you receive a total workout.

I love jumping jacks and I don’t do them enough.

Note:
Finding a workout that you really like is super important. I tend to like dance classes and Pilates. I haven’t found one dope dance class in philly yet though, Any suggestions?

**im not a licensed trainer, I was just once a chubby kid who made working out a priority. I learned many things along the way- so I’m sharing, engaging, and connecting. Be Well! 💫💛🤸🏾‍♂️ by @ajaizz_here

My mom and biological dad had a deal, they were both going to make it to 100 years old. My Dad didn’t get to keep his end of the bargain 😢🥺🤯 (I guess we learn how much control we really have). However, I’m going to do my best to make sure Deni does what she needs to do to have a chance. I moved back home from GA to PA because honestly we needed each other after such significant loss. 💞🫶🏽

She didn’t feel like the gym but happy she decided to go.

A couple weeks ago, I drove to NY to see my homegirl for a spa day and relaxing moment in the mist of my storm. NY is always a vibe even when it’s windy and cold! From Chelsea to Queens, and especially Brooklyn. 🫶🏽💞🍾

Back in 2003, I was introduced to Pilates by one of the best trainers I’ve ever known and worked with Ava from @violetsinbloom_ . She had the girlies all the way together.

It wasn’t until recently I got back into the program in ATL and I love what’s it’s doing for me today. Here’s my recent Pilates journey-

I highly recommend.

Over the weekend we celebrated the amazing life of Queen Auntie Mar.

Brilliant, loving, and beautiful inside and out she left quite a mark on a community, a people that will live with us forever.

Proud to be her niece and part of her wonderful legacy from GHS to community work and development.

Thank you to my friends and family who supported me this weekend and throughout this heavy heartbreak. I appreciate you.

I would say rest in peace but my auntie probably up there bossing the angels around. ☺️😇🥰😘 I’m kidding kind of… 💫💔🫂🕊️ by @ajaizz_here

Mmmm it’s been a minute since I’ve been here, with Pilates, grieving, working, and scrolling, I’ve been occupied. And I had to freeze Pilates 🙄. Grieving has taking center stage and it’s been leaving me tired.

I really just came for the whirlpool and sauna- my back has been bothering me and guess what I was acting like it didn’t and now it’s worse. 😩😂😭😭😭😭. Send help! by @ajaizz_here

Claps all around for content creators. Your timing is impeccable. It took me all day to edit this video and it’s just me speeding up some parts, yes mostly all exercises are sped up and stamping the time.. Ha, but anywho, I like the raw footage anyway. In that, you see the grit, the flawed, the spill over, the abundance and luxuries of life on my stomach and hips. The sweets, the liq., the honey kissed teas I’d sipped. The hormones that bloated me with tears and a little road rage… I release the pressure, letting it out, on the gym floor, my stage. pushing, challenging, thinking, dancing, smiling, balancing.

So Ambitious! Hey y’all as promised to myself I’m back working out and now showcasing some of the exercises that I’m doing. It helps me with my accountability and in the past, I’ve heard I can be a bit motivating. I mean if I can do it, you can too! I’m not training for anything. I don’t have any weight loss or gain goals. I’m just working on toning and shaping more than anything and I like to keep my appearance a little soft.

By working out on and off since I was younger, I have seen a difference in my body and health. So I encourage incorporating movement as part of your lifestyle it’s helpful in so many ways.
