    lol @ the title. But hey, its the work out thats important!
    There is a huge perception that black women refuse to workout for a number of reasons. Hair being #1.

    Really!!!!????

    Man I will say this. That first day I was sore. My legs were on fire. I love the workout though. The mother in the DVD keeps me going amd motivated. She and the daughter look great. I'll be popping it back in my DVD tonite.

    Study after study shows that we respond positively to seeing people who look like us, whether it be in schools (hence the need for diverse teachers) or workouts. It doesn't mean we do best ONLY seeing people like us, but how many workout DVD's are all white girls, maybe with a token guy? I have noticed that in at least one Leslie Sansone Walking Away the pounds has a token black guy in with all the white women. It is always nice when you can wrap up your token gestures in one package </sarcasm>

    Chris Powell's Extreme Weightloss Workout has some diversity and level 1 is a good starting place for someone who has a low fitness level.

    30 Day Shred might be another one to try.

    Nice to see so many black women come out of the wood works and respond to MFP threads. Why isn't there this much response on other threads?? There shouldn't have to be "black" in the title for y'all to come out and show yourselves. Cmon sistas!

    This is the first I am hearing about this DVD. I might have to check it out.
    I don't do home video's but Phaedra's is a top seller! Get your workout on and you will have great results too.

    And Phaedra's has a video too. I must be asleep though life.

    its said that black girls dont want to sweat out their hair-dos that they spent hours in a salon to get perfected... so they opt not to workout.... but now that diabetes and heart disease have killed off their prior generations, younger black women are getting smarter... there are many who have given up perms ( contains carcinogen) and others who just find other ways to deal with the hair issue...

    I am grateful for organizations like "blackgirlsrun" and "blackwomendoworkout" among others ( there is a black folks swim or something close to that which is another goody because its not a lie that most blacks never learn how to swim) ...


    changing perceptions, changing realities...changing lives...BRINGING SEXY BACK!!

    I love natural hair on black women. So pretty. Heck, I love natural hair, lol. Mine gets very little done to it.

    That's too bad that hair can have such an impact on someone's life. I get it--well, as much as this white girl with baby fine hair she hated growing up can get it--but I still think it stinks.

    A few people are saying they have never heard of women, primarily black women, avoiding working out because of fear of ruing their hair style. Quite a few non-black women posted on this thread and could relate. There is an article attached as well
