Yes, It’s Possible To Have Relaxed Hair That’s Strong — I’m Proof

I couldn’t tell you what my natural hair looks like, even if I tried (I imagine it would be coily and tight, coarse and thick). And I couldn’t tell you how to even begin to manage my natural hair, even if I tried. It’s because I have no memory of it — I can’t remember what my hair looked like before the age of seven, when my mother started taking me with her to our neighborhood salon in Brooklyn to get our strands relaxed. As a child, my hair...

Improves Cardiovascular Health: Walking is a cardiovascular exercise that helps strengthen the heart and improve circulation. Regular walking can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, and improve overall cardiovascular health. Aids in Weight Management: Walking can help burn calories and contribute to weight loss or weight maintenance. It's an accessible form of exercise for people of all fitness levels and can be an effective component of a weight management plan. Strengthens Muscles and Bones: Walking engages various muscle groups, including the legs, glutes, and core. Over time, regular walking can help strengthen these muscles and improve overall muscle tone. It also promotes bone density, which can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. Boosts Mood and Mental Health: Physical activity, including walking, stimulates the release of endorphins, neurotransmitters that promote feelings of happiness and well-being. Walking outdoors in nature can also reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression, leading to improved mood and mental health. Increases Energy Levels: Engaging in regular walking workouts can increase energy levels and reduce feelings of fatigue. Even a short walk can help boost alertness and focus, making it an excellent option for a midday energy boost. Enhances Sleep Quality: Regular physical activity, such as walking, can improve sleep quality and duration. Walking in the morning or early evening can help regulate your sleep-wake cycle and promote restful sleep at night. Reduces Risk of Chronic Diseases: Walking has been linked to a reduced risk of various chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and metabolic syndrome. It can also improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control in individuals with diabetes. Improves Joint Health and Mobility: Walking is a low-impact exercise that is gentle on the joints, making it suitable for people with arthritis or joint pain. Regular walking can help improve joint flexibility, reduce stiffness, and enhance overall mobility. ______ D I S C L A I M E R “How long does it take to see results?” One member sees results in 10 - 30 days does not mean you will get the same results like her. It’s because your body is different and unique (you have a SMALL BUILD or your starting size is BIGGER). And because there are so many different factors at play: how often you workout, the types of your workouts, body types, body weights, genetic, your age, food choices, meal portions, daily habits, lifestyle, living environment, you are being in calorie deficit or surplus, etc. – means that how quickly you see the results does not solely depend on my workouts, it’s the team work between YOU and I. Beginners (newbies, who never/barely exercise) and members with an average fit body, they often see results faster because their bodies adapt easily to the new changes. If you are not a beginner (even if you take a long break), your body needs more time to switch from old to new routines. And because of the differences among us (fitness goals, sizes, shapes, ages, health and physical conditions…), you should not rely on my workout as a substitute for, nor does it replace, professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Begin with your level, stay consistent with the programs/weekly plan on my website, build healthy eating habits, limit unhealthy foods and surround yourself with motivations. You will see results like many Inshape members do. Remember to take your Before photos and share your progress to inspire us ♡
