Black womens health = Fitness edition

Black women have a different relationship when it comes to fitness compared to every other group of women, because of racial discrimination and laws that were put in place so Black women couldn't be a stay home wife. We as a collective were born to work for other people, which had created long-term harmful effects when it comes to weight management. As a collective, we are unhealthy. This isn't a bashing fest or red pill rhetoric because I am not a male centered woman. Analysising data and seeing the environment we are raised in ,thier is a huge issue with emotional eating because of stress, being neglected, facing racism and colorism,having the world on our back because many of us were raised in fatherless homes or simply never been taught how to eat properly. Do you know when you don't eat vitamin rich food it's effects your mood/behavior patterns. When you aren't eating healthy and constantly consuming high sugar and salt diet, you don't have the nutrients to regulate your emotions. Fitness is an act that needs to be the standard. Every black woman should have a gym membership and try to go to the gym whenever you can. I know there is a body positive movement that is promoting being " obese is attractive." We as black women shouldn't be part of that because it won't work in our favor. That is for a yt women because they have a system behind them and have more acces to surgeons and other world known doctors because of their privilege. I want more younger and older black women to develop a health relationship with fitness and have a bmi chart in their homes. We as a collective have features that people pay for naturally, now imaging if we start getting in shape and staying consistent with our health. We would be unstoppable whie aging like a turtle. Any black woman that is reading this ... please get a gym membership and create a schedule. buy a nutritional book and make an appointment with your doctor. Here is a list of gyms that have memberships that all tax brackets can join.

Plante fitness - 10 dollars a month

LAfitness- 29 dollars a month

Blink fitness_ 29 dollars a month

Crunch gym_ 30 a month

Class pass_ a fitness app that is connected to affordable pilates and other workout classes( you have to buy credits).

YouTube videos - work out at home, buy weights from Amazon ( watch fitness videos)

Check your insurance . Some insurance or jobs will provide free membership depending on your plan.

lastly- learn the art of always upgrading your life. the more you'll lost weight ppl might start to act funny because your looking better and you'll start to attract men from different tax brackets or women that were use to seeing you hate yourself may start to become envious. Remember, don't let ppl stop your progress... Keep going.

... Read moreThe fitness journey for Black women is often shaped by societal challenges such as racial discrimination and cultural expectations. It's essential to understand the importance of physical health and emotional well-being. Regular exercise not only enhances physical strength but also plays a crucial role in mental health. Engaging in fitness programs can help reduce stress, combat emotional eating, and improve mood by releasing endorphins. A supportive community can act as a powerful motivator. Joining local gyms like Planet Fitness or community programs can provide affordable options for fitness. Additionally, exploring resources like online workout videos or nutrition workshops can empower women with knowledge and tools to make healthier choices. Lastly, consulting professionals for personalized fitness plans ensures that individual health needs are met. Remember, prioritizing fitness leads to improved quality of life, and every step towards health is a step towards empowerment.
