00:00Hey you, how are those fitness goals coming along?
00:04You got those abs yet?
00:06You got those triceps coming in?
00:08You got those biceps poking out?
00:11If you're like us, you definitely made a resolution to get fit, get trim.
00:17But you can't do it alone.
00:19So we've teamed up with the awesome chapter of Black Girls Run to bring you five tips
00:24to help you reach our fitness goals.
00:26Get it together.
00:30Hi Naturally Curly, my name is Angus Smith.
00:33I am one of the ambassadors for Austin, Texas Black Girls Run.
00:37Black Girls Run was founded by Tony and Ashley eight years ago out of Atlanta, Georgia.
00:42The reason why Black Girls Run was started, it was targeted toward African American women to move more.
00:48Even though it says Black Girls Run, you don't have to necessarily run, you can walk.
00:52So it's all levels.
00:53If you want to walk, you can walk.
00:54If you want to jog, you can jog.
00:55If you want to run, you can run.
00:57So we have five tips to help you reach your goal for this fitness journey.
01:01So the number one key I would suggest is prayer.
01:04Prayer is the number one key to help you first have a clear mind.
01:07It also helps you to win this fitness journey so you won't feel like you're alone.
01:12Tip number two would be journaling.
01:14Journaling is a good way to keep up with your exercising, your goals.
01:18And it also holds you accountable during each day to let you know where you're at and where you stand and what you need to do in order to reach those goals.
01:26Tip number three would be patience.
01:28Make sure you are very patient with yourself because you will have ups and downs.
01:32But through it all, make sure you're patient with yourself so that you will not get frustrated and just want to give up.
01:38Tip number four would be a boss never cancels.
01:41So it's important not to cancel even when you're tired or if it's cold outside or if it's too hot.
01:47Those are the days that you really push through.
01:50And once you get started, there's no giving up.
01:53Tip number five I will give you is to have a circle of accountability partners.
01:58When you don't want to get up and that alarm strikes 5.30 a.m., those are the people that you need to have around you to hold you accountable for your goals.
02:06With these five tips, I guarantee you, if you follow them, you will be able to meet your fitness goal.
02:12All right.
02:13I'm feeling like we can do this.
02:15Like we can do this.
02:17Yeah, you just need a group of people dedicated to the same goal as you and this could be your glow up year.
02:23You just need to get started.
02:24So thanks so much to Black Girls Run for sharing their tips with us.
