I’m pretty sure all of you reading this are aware that people, places and things give off certain vibes and I’m sure many of you can feel these vibes, whether good or bad, even if you can’t explain it.​

​As a black woman, just getting through what most would call an ordinary day, can be quite an ordeal in itself:

• There’s getting up earlier than you have to so as not to reinforce the stereotype that we’re always late
• If someone irritates or even outright disrespects us, we have to navigate away from our fully justified response of annoyance or even rage as to not be seen as “aggressive”
• While all this is going on, let’s not forget that we’re also carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders because everyone thinks that we’re all “so strong”

Energy never dies, it is only transmuted from one form to another.
This means that any negative energy that we are harbouring has the potential to be transformed into something positive. The aim of this article is to inspire you to take control of your energy with the help of physical activity.

​Whether you believe it or not, we’re all spiritual beings having a human experience in this thing we call life.  We consist of mind, body and soul and although these aspects of us are distinct from one another, they are interconnected and interdependent.

The vast majority of people trying to lose weight for whatever reason tend to look to the scales as an indicator of progress.  This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but many other factors have to be taken into consideration because body weight is just one factor.
