Walkin' ain't cuttin' it

I've been in the gym more frequently now that I don't work those dreadful night shifts anymore. It has become increasingly appaling however that there is an extreme shortage of black women in the gym. Really, I don't want to disrespect any sistahs with this, BUT, just calling it like I see it, most black women are lazy. They rely on their busy schedules as a cop-out, excusing them from physical activity like no one else is busy nowadays. Some black women are in the gym frequently--doing their thing, however, most women who go roll with those lil' 2 pound weights and walk around the track. What is that going to do!? Here's the crusher; most women who do these lazy workouts are the more overweight ones who need be running miles, not walking 2 laps drinking Pepsi upon finishing or going to the taco buffet after the workout. I put it like this, either you wanna work out or not; if you are gonna be lazy, stay at home. Yet, when this happens, another problem arises; some women realize their laziness, and slowly become content on being larger and sloppy. "I'm a big girl" or "Look at Jill Scott, she's big and beautiful". Now, I think Jill Scott is a beautiful woman, but I think women are hiding behind Jill's confidence and using it trying to compensate for their lack therof. It was funny when I heard a girl say that; she knew that if she was still petite like she used to be, that she would have a chubby joke for Jill Scott. The "freshman fifteen" is becomming an obsolete term, because nowadays most black women are at least 40 pounds heavier upon graduation than they were in their freshmen year; and if you're gonna gain 40 pounds before you even try to start losing it, that's a problem. Bottom line ladies, if you don't wanna work out, but you don't necessarily need to, fine; but realize that after I've worked in a hospital for so long, most cardiac patients are women, so be advised that although you still have a nice size and shape, and seem like you can eat what you want, you never know what's going on inside. To the women who KNOW they need to be in the gym, stop being lazy, because you see all of those sodas, double cheeseburgers, midnight meals, and suzy q's are catching up. No excuses!
