Motivated by the lack of information about Black Women's Fitness issues, I am creating a Community for Black Women to voice their concerns and discuss issues related to physical health. I will share information about my experience. We all know that the Black Women's experience has its complexities. From the prevalence of diabetes and breast cancer in our community to not working out because we just paid $75 dollars to get our hair done, there are a ton of issues!

Fitness Goddess of the Month: Tekeema
Tekeema is the founder of Virtual Workout Crew, Inc. VWC is a group of over 70 professional women who motivate, inspire, and encourage each other through today's technology (facebook, texting, email, etc.) to exercise and live a healthy lifestyle. VWC was founded in April 2009 by Tekeema after she was sick of living an unhealthy lifestyle.
She decided to join a gym and workout 5days a week...to date, she's lost 42lbs and several of her members have lost well over 70lbs. They never workout together and the members are all across the US, from NC to Detroit, to Wisconsin, to VA, to NY, to FL to CA. In March 2010, she became a certified Funky Fit Group Fitness Instructor.
In June 2010, about 20 members are taking a trip to Miami, FL to celebrate their one year anniversary and all of their weight loss success. Want to learn more about Tekeema and her member's success? Check out www.virtualworkoutcrew.com
Great job, Tekeema! Your story continues to inspire women all over the country. Congratulations on becoming April's Nubian Fitness Goddess! We look forward to hearing more success stories from your crew!
