There are a LOT of diet threads on GC. Which is great. We should all be thinking about what we put in our bodies, regardless of whether we go low carb or low fat. But more than that we need to get our BOOTIES IN GEAR!
The black community has higher rates of obesity than the community ing general. We need to watch what we eat and move more.
Sorors, Memberfriends and Sisterfriends! What is your workout schedule? This is your general plan- I know that I don't always do everything I want, but I am really good about doing weights and one day of cardio at the very least! If you don't have a plan you need to start working on one ASAP! We have higher rates of heart disease too!
Here's mine:
M: was 30 minutes moderate-high intensity interval cardio, now 60 minutes African dance
T or W (whenever I have recovered from M): upper body w/weights. My upper body workout consists of:
3 sets of 12-8, starting with light weight at 12 reps for the first set and ending with 8 reps at the maximum weight that I can handle with good form
bench press
pushups
dead lifts
rows with a barbell
hammer curls
tricep kickbacks
8 minute abs
Th: Rest
F: was 30 minutes cardio, now 90 minues of African dance
Saturday: rest/go out and party
Sunday: Lower body with weights:
squats with barbell
lunges with dumbells
deadlifts
calf raises
ETA: If anyone wants help putting together an efficient workout schedule I am happy to help, or point you to a website where you can get really good advice.
