Start your year off with this...

Everyone started from the bottom...and we all will be saying "now we here"....

...a little motivation from Ms. Amber Kelly

I have dealt with hearing negative connotations ever since I was younger. I started becoming very physically fit once I started gymnastics at 6 years old. Gymnastics requires a lot of strength and incorporates a lot of conditioning and strength training. Therefore, I started developing muscles and I could see my body changing year after year. I developed a very strong core and strong legs, but the biggest change happened with my arms. I always ended up receiving comments, both positive and negative, about how massive my arms were for a female. Between the ages of 9-13, I was very self conscious about my arms. I refused to wear tank tops or any other type of shirt that would show my arms. Other kids would always ask me to show them my muscles or they would say that I could beat up anybody who messed me with me (which was and still is hilarious because I have never been in a fight in my life). Once I entered high school, I started becoming more comfortable with my body. I enjoyed the strength training of every sport I played (gymnastics, track, cross country, basketball, and competitive cheerleading). I became more comfortable with my arms and decided to embrace them more. To this day, I still receive comments about how "masculine" my arms look and that I can come across intimidating, but I also get told that my arms are amazing for a woman. I have received many questions from women inquiring about different exercises they can do for their arms, legs, and core. When women confide in me about what exercises I do for my body, it is very encouraging and makes me feel good about myself.  

It has been hard to overcome my self consciousness about my body, especially my arms. However, I have come to love my body, muscles and all. I found inspiration in other women who look like me physically and those aspiring to live a healthy life, Dominique Dawes, Ashley Joi, Angela Bassett, and Jeanette Jenkins to name a few. I encourage other women to find their inspirations as well. Negative connotations can be difficult to handle because they can make you feel insecure and as if something is wrong with you. Nothing is more beautiful, though, than a healthy woman who takes care of her body. In the words of Marianne Willamson, "...Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?" This message has stuck with me for years. If we, as physically fit women, remember that we are all of those things, then we can overcome any negativity because most of the time negative comments from others usually derive from their own insecurities, unhappiness, ignorance, or jealousy. Find your inspirations. Stay dedicated to your goals. Keep a positive mindset. Sí se puede! (Yes we can!)

2014, this is it! This is your year, the only thing holding you back is you!

How does he like those flat Abs

Hey Party Girls,

There are several reasons why we aspire to live healthy and look good. May it be for our own satisfaction, medical reasons, or just cause we want to look good in that little dress, we definitely have our reasons.......But, with these reasons come an added bonus......The guys! looking good for ourselves also means looking good for the opposite sex, and even if we are not getting fit solely for their attention, it just comes with the nature. Living and feeling healthy means you live and feel confident, and well... we know what confidence attracts.....

So, Party Girl Fit did a little research, we got 4 guys and asked them a series of questions. As women we have an idea of what we think men like, but what better way to know then to...just ask! So here we go!

Meet our guys:

Ilbert Sanchez 27yrs.

And here's what they had to say......

Q: Would you rather a healthy women, a women who is obsessed with fitness, or a women who just doesn't really do anything (not necessarily over weight, but not active)?
J.C: A healthy woman that is confident in her skin...it can be unattractive to be so self consciousness about your body.
N.R.: I'd rather a healthy woman, I think the thought of an overly obsessed woman makes me think she doesn't have time for me. If I'm busting my butt in the gym to look good for you, should at least be taking steps to do the same for me.

Q:Does working out with a woman provide another level of connection?
K.W.: Yes, I would like to believe working out with your women would provide a positive level of connection.
N.R.:  I think one time I went with a girlfriend and she ran while I lifted, I don't know it kind of felt good, like we were a fit power couple.

Q: What is the one thing you like to be physically fit on a women?
I.S.: I like a women to have a tight stomach, firm arms, and strong legs.
J.C.: Legs, legs and legs!!

Q:what is too muscular, or overly toned?
N.R.: I think other than bodybuilder there is no such thing as overly toned. I used to think girls with abs were gross..until I dated one, and I thought it was pretty hot. So I kind of look for a toned woman, because those squats work wonders on a woman's backside!!!

I.S: Too muscular is a muscular chest or huge calf muscles the size of the incredible hulk. Huge shoulders, and big biceps. 

 

Q:Are you more likely to approach a women in the gym or out partying?

I.S: Out the gym , unless her body is like Tahiry or Jennifer Lopez in 2001. 

J.C.: A party, because it is more of a social setting and easier to talk and get to know someone.

K.W.: Where ever is the best situation.

N.R.: Definitely at a party, because like i said earlier the gym is a private experience for me. im not there to be friendly or social im there to go to war against my body

 

 

....So Party girls here you are Lets us know what you think about what these boys had to say!!

Decembers Working woman is here!

Hey Party Girls,

This month we have something a little special for you! During the Holidays we get caught up in all the stresses of gifts, money, food, and preparing for Christmas that we forget to stay healthy and maintain an outlet to keep us sane. I'm particularly excited about this months working woman because she is a great example of doing what makes you happy and enjoying life 100%....

This months working woman is Amber Kelly, an amazing example of embracing healthy, life, and fun! Lets check out what she had to say how maintaining her sick body is a priority in a hectic life!

Q: Where do you work and how do you manage to workout, have a social life, and maintain a relationship?

A: It is very difficult at times to manage working out, having a social life, and maintaining relationships with friends; however, it is not impossible. Sometimes, I have to write out a daily schedule in order to visually see when I have free time to devote to various things. I currently work at a charter school in New Orleans, Louisiana and I coach gymnastics at Westbank Gymnastics in Gretna, Louisiana. It has not been easy working two jobs and finding time to workout and spend time with friends, but I do the best I can. I fit in my workouts on days when I do not coach late, which are typically four days out of the week, and I socialize mostly on the weekends. I am a firm believer that you make time for what you feel is important.

 

Keep checking back as we get a little deeper than normal with this Working woman, and follow her on IG @ayekellyy

You can have your career and your health!

Before Thanksgiving, lets finish out this month with more from our Working Woman who Works out! I encourage you to enjoy all the things this month has to offer. Enjoy the turkey, ham, sweet potatos and anything else your heart desires! But, I also you encourage to maybe not enjoy them all in 1 hour people, enjoy them with the continued celebration for all your knowledge of exercising! you know, that thing called the gym.

Here's what Racquel had to say about her healthy busy lifestyle.

Q: How do you manage to workout, have a social life, and maintain a relationship?

 

A: It's all about managing my schedule. I manage my workouts on my schedule the same way that I manage my meetings on my schedule. This includes coordinating my hair maintenance around my workouts as well. On busier days, I aim for a quick 20-30 minute run instead of a 90 minute yoga class. This allows me to save time to spend with friends and my boyfriend without the expense of missing a workout. My boyfriend and I sometimes workout together, which makes for a fun date.

Q: Whats your favorite exercise?

 

A: I've always been a runner. I enjoy pushing myself to my edge. I've found that running and yoga are the perfect balance for me. I love Yoga! I have been practicing Yoga for a year and a half and have developed a social life within in the Yoga community in my city. Yoga allows me to focus on my inner and physical strength. With Yoga I'm able to set goals, track my progression, and just have fun while I workout!

 

Get Motivated, it all about how you feel, not how you look! Looks will come with confidence!

 

Love and Sweat,

Happy Thankgiving

November's Working Woman who works out, Racquel Hudson

Hey Party Girls,

As you Know Party Girl Fit loves to keep all women motivated, there are no excuses in life and living healthy should be a priority!
For mommies we had a great feature on Christy Joy, the baby Fat Boss! Last month's working woman who works out was Yenory Suejay Garcia.
This month is Racquel Hudson, and we are so excited to have her motivate you guys!

Check out what this Amazing woman had to share about how she lives healthy!

Job Title: Assistant Vice President, Strategic Consulting for Comerica Bank

Q: What is your take on dieting and staying healthy? Do you enjoy life and all it has to offer, do you workout to stay healthy, do you workout for the enjoyment?

A: "Just eat the damn cookie" is my motto. I literally have a sign in my apartment with that quote. I'm a proponent of healthy eating. I find that I feel better and have more energy when I maintain what I consider to be a relatively healthy diet. However, eating one burger, under normal circumstances, for a healthy girl who exercises won't kill her.

I'm a sucker for tacos and a great burger and I allow myself to indulge every now and then. I don't stress myself out about maintaining an extremely limited diet. It doesn't work for my schedule. I think it's important to find what works for you. I'm not a fan of temporary/fad diets. Short term dieting typically leads back to the original results. I prefer to take a balanced approach.

 

I work out for the mere enjoyment. I love the edge and often find myself craving the adrenaline of a tough workout. The health benefits are an added bonus.

 

Check back all week as we reveal more about this working woman!
