I am a workout- aholic. I was an aerobics trainer in college and I still wake up 5 days a week at 5am to go to the gym before heading to work. I put a lot of dedication into my body and staying healthy. With all this said, my man MUST workout and have some kind of muscle definition, lets say Brad Pitt is fight club is just about right for me.

You go girl, been a fitness addict for about 6yrs now and exercise for at least 3-4x a week if not that week will be terrible for me. Im more of a circuit training girl and the benefits to the body is incredible. I agree if we ladies keep trim, our men should too, we dont want a man who waddles about with his semi-pot belly and zero muscle definition

@ Eboneyes, my sister I am really proud of you. A lot of Nigerian women don't know or care to know the benefits of working out and staying fit. I don't know your if you have children yet, but working out prior to having a baby helps your body bounce back much faster, so keep it up. I am not married and no kids yet, but I intend to keep fit all my life.

I still do light circuit training, but I love Aerobics, specifically Taebo, It keeps me lean, tight and toned. I am so addicted to working out, that if I miss working out prior to my work day, I get all lethargic and tired. On Saturdays, I dance to coupe decale at home, another form of  dance exercise. Google coupe decale on youtube, it's sexy and fun and if you dance it front of your man, he will lose his mind, lol.

With all this said, a man that does not workout or stay active with sports gets ZERO CHANCE WITH ME. Shikena

Also working out releases happy hormones too what more can we ask for eh?

Oh the coupe decale looks fun

Abekeade08:



Isn't that the truth. Feel free to ask me any questions pertaining to fitness anytime and i'll ask you questions too, hmm I am running to go google kettlebells as i type this.

Yeh!!! A fitness buddy at last . My dear I got bored with the whole cardio/aerobics routine so I started looking for other things and thats how I found kettlebells . They are great, its cardio, conditioning and strength training all in one all under 45mins, aint that a blessing?

Abekeade08:

Yes abi ooh. Wish I had a fitness buddy, I can work out with though. However, no one i know personally ever wants to wake up that early to go to the gym . Do the kettlebells feel as heavy as they look? Are you not afraid of bulking up your muscles? or do the amount of reps you do keep your muscles lean?

Look into Teabo exercises too, they are fun and keep you fit. I introduced my brother to it and he lost 30lbs prior to getting married, since then he has kept up with it.

Dr. Lorenz:

@eboneyeyes
That's wat all women want shey? 

Thats a well known myth hun, we females dont have enough testosterone for bulking up. I got the 8kg and 12kg ones and you swing it about not lift it so your whole body is doing the work. I can tell you that I dont look like Arnold Swats-whats-his name  . Those women who body-build usually are on steroids and heavy protein diets. I have been hearing about Taebo but never tried it  Did you get the DVDs? Im always open to things that will keep my routines fresh

Abekeade08:



oh i am very sure you don't look like Arnold dear. I am just always scared of using anything above 5lbs dumbells because i am scared to bulk up. I keep my arms toned through teabo aerobics which features muscle training with bands. Oh Eboneyes, you have to try Teabo, it will kick your backside for real. It is a very hard work out, but it pays off, you will see  significant changes in your body within 2 weeks max.

Yes sef, make them learn. The thing is they are quite an investment. You have to buy the kettlebells and they are quite pricey but think of it as a years gym membership . I recomend Lauren Brooks DVDS http://www.ontheedgefitnessstore.com/products/index.html. I have The Ultimate Body Sculpt PACKAGE (Volume 1 & 2) and girl its a workout.


Which DVDS do you have? Do you have to use any equipment

Thanks babes, when Im financially buoyant I will look into buying some of the DVDs. There is also kettlenetics http://www.gaiam.com/product/fitness-center/strength-cardio/kits-equipment/slim+-+tone+kettlenetics--8482-+set.do, the kettlebells are lighter and the workout is down your alley i.e aerobics

Abekeade08:

Thanks girlfriend. Kettlenetics is right up my alley. The price aint bad either. I will buy it before the month runs out and give you my own reviews on it. Are you in the US? if so where ? I am in NYC, Oya let me go back to work oh.

@ Uche,

Wetin I do ooh, my broda?

Ebonyeyes:

Not all, im sure there is a market for everyone but since I put in the effort, time and sweat, I hope he does too

Dr. Lorenz:

Oh really now. I don't most of your fellow females would agree with that. There's always a standard criteria where the females are concerned you see.

Ebonyeyes:

Uhmm I dont get you

koolchicco:

Wait a min, so does it mean Faty Faty Dudes like me don't stand any chance?

platinumnk:

Slightly thick, not fat    u better start playing soccer to get rid of your tummy    
how is a girl supposed to lay her head on your chest when your belly is in the way?? 

Well, in that case if you're not looking as tantalizing as these chikalas, then I don't need ya as well!

@ Abekeade08  and Ebony-  You guys rock!

Someone at my job was telling me about kettlenetics but I kinda steer away from strength training . . .
I bulk up too easily,    iget it from my daddy.

So I stick to Cardio with a lil punching and kicking, I use Power 90, The Euphoria Rush is addictive 


Though I miss weight training though . .  . its soo much more fun than cardio 

Abekeade08:



Hello platinum, I saw a post about you being sick, I hope you are feeling much better now.

As you probably learned from my back and forth with eboneyes, I am a teabo cardio queen, but Eboneyes has convinced me to try kettlenetics. My fear is also bulking up from heavy lifting; i always I feel like i will bulk up really fast, if i carry anything above 5lbs. Kettlenetics cardio seems like fun though, so i will definitely try it.

I saw adverts on TV about power 90 though I never tried it. Have you ever tried Teabo?
