My Afrifitness experience

If like me, you've recently had a baby, or you've just put on a few pounds over the festive period-then you'll know that the struggle to get back into shape is REAL. 

So what is this 'afro thingy' I speak of?  Well, so goes the story....

I have been doing some home work out videos here and there to get into shape after having the first lady. That is how I came across Afrifitness- an afro beat interval training workout.  

Yesterday, came time to make this love affair public. Off I went to Husky studios in London, to see what the lady behind this innovative fitness movement, Rachael Okesola had in store. Was I ready to move from dancing along in the privacy of my own home for half an hour to joining a group of people (who in my mind were going to all be fitness gurus) for trice the duration? Well, I was set on finding out and find out I did. 

In all sincerity I can say that the session was enjoyable, and I made it through the vigorous routine without passing out. :-) It didn't feel like a workout to be honest,as I was taken away by the rhythmic music and eclectic dance moves. Rachael's enthusiasm and energy was infectious, the ladies were as varied in cultural backgrounds as they were in fitness levels. The oldest attendee was 65 year old-the lady gave us all enough inspiration to last a decade. 
The next session of this fitness awesomness is taking place next month. I suppose that is my only qualms with it. It should be weekly not monthly!

Will I be attending the next session? Only if you'll join me.

NEW MUSIC ALERT!!! 'So blessed' by Inspired Pintinz #MusicMonday

Prominent Nigerian act Inspired Pintinz returns this year in a whole new dimension -with his brand new single "So Blessed" featuring budding sensation Nolly. I love the message of the song, (especially the lyrics 'many look but few dey see') and the mellow afro beat rhythm. 

The song is produced by A-list British-Nigerian music producer Eminik, thus guaranteeing a beyond average Afro-Pop sound. 

So brace yourself to yet another meaningful, captivating and uplift song and may you be so blessed as you listen.

2016-So far,so good?

16 days into the new year already?! Wow. Time sure does fly. How is the year going for you?  Are you still sticking to the resolutions or are they already out of the window? 

For me, I needed to start off the year by 'unplugging' from everything and spend some time reconnecting with myself. In order to have the tunnel vision required- I decided to stay off all social media and only replied to important messages. 

Here is what I have learned in those few days(I pray it stays with me through out this year and beyond).

1, I am sure you have heard of the saying that 'not everybody that smiles with you is your friend' but I now know that not everybody that frowns at you is your enemy. Cherish those people that love you enough to be truthful, respect you enough to show they disagree with you and are genuine enough to show it.

2,People are watching- I was surprised at the people that reached out to me whilst I have been 'silent' on social media. The messages I received ranged from greetings, to motivation and encouragement. 'Don't give up.' 'I love your spirit.' 'Hope you are well'. Words are not enough to appreciate those that reached out to me; a massive thank you for allowing the God in you to minister to the God in me.  

3, Leading from lesson number 2... It's not about the 'likes' and 'comments', you are inspiring at least one person out there without knowing.

4, Quitters never win, but  sometimes in order to win it is essential that you quit. For instance, quitting bad habits, quitting toxic relationships, quitting negative self talk, quitting fruitless ventures in order to focus all the fruitful areas of your life/business.   

5,To the world you are one person, but to your child/children you're the world.  So it is important to consider them with all the decisions you make. Make their world beautiful and fill it with love. 

6. Never go against your 'gut feeling'-  I made a decision early this year against my gut feeling and I can say I have definitely learned that lesson the hard way.

Here is to a great year 2016 for us all.
