In recent studies doctors are alarmed at the fast-rising increase of obesity among the African-American population in this country. In particular around many of the southern states (i.e. Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, etc.). This has beem mainly due to poor dieting, lack of exercise and mental/emotional stress.

However, there are many programs and avenues one can take to prevent having an unhealthy lifestyle and habits. Many African-Americans are simply not concerned with their health unitl it becomes a health issue. Because of this, many African-American continue to practice unhealthy dietary habits and traditions passed down from generation to generation such as the consumption of greasy foods, pork and excessive amounts of red meat. In addition, of the ones that do exercise, many of them do it for moreso their image than health. Although over the past few years, many African-Americans have turned away from the shallow ideologies of just having an external look. Many have become more health-conscious and strive for a more positive and overall healthy lifestyle. Here are a few tips to help you discover the "fitness guru" in you!

 

a) to burn fat – work aerobically, high-impact cardio (i.e. Jogging, Cylcing)
b) to train for power and speed – a sports specific workout (i.e. Boxing, MMA)
c) to reduce stress – a more meditative – stretch oriented workouts (i.e. Yoga)
d) overall fitness – a bit of eachof the above goals. (i.e. Cross-Training)

Once you have decided on your workout goal it is then important to assess what you have to work with in your given environment. A few general assumptions can always be applied no matter what your geography.
