My most recent article for Ebony Online takes a look at the "fears" in exercise. It turns out that many women of color are concerned about losing too much in the ass and thigh area, whereas others are concerned about achieving slim, lean, "boyish" figures. The article explores the main reasons why some women are afraid to exercise and lift weights: not wanting to lose too much in the butt area or their sexy voluptuous curves, and/or not wanting to get big and bulky. In reality, exercise and lifting weights can actually help slim the thigh area and tone, sculpt and lift the butt. Although women cannot build muscle like men, some can get bulky if the weights are too heavy and diets are off. Please read the full article "Slim Down, Keep Your Curves and Avoid Bulk" to get some tips on achieving a lean toned physique and also how to keep some shape and size in the rear. Please forward any fitness questions to jadealexis@ebony.com.
Be Fit. Have Fun. Live Fierce!
