Don't forget the main goal of the the Fitness Challenge is for you to encourage other women to work out with you.

Get Active!
Black Women's Health Imperative Fitness Center
The Black Women’s Health Imperative has partnered with WebMD to bring you the latest health care and self-care tools, information and resources to keep you and your family physically, mentally and spiritually well.
I have found the Fitness Center really helpful. They provide you with a detailed assessment of your eating habits and physical activity.
Hair Care
Check out this article on Co Washing (washing your hair with conditioner) at K.I.S.S. It is a great way to keep your healthy if you need to wash more than once a week.

I like the playlist too...And I'm all about some Beyonce...all those trumpets and cymbals make you want to break it down.

I agree with you Afrodoisa. Beyonce has some great workout songs. I'm more of a neo soul type of girl but when it comes to exercise my playlist is filled with beyonce.
Maybe i'll do a beyonce playlist next....
