Get Healthy Harlem

I'm also adding this information to the blog. I don't want you to miss out! How have you been? Have you taken any African Dance Classes in Harlem? Well you can at the 4th Annual African American Expo, most of the teachers mentioned in the first blog are teaching there as well as a few others. And the entire event is FREE!

 This Get Healthy Harlem website besides health information also wants the visitor to know where he can find free fitness activities in Harlem. In the last blog we suggested you visit www.africandanceschedule.com to see all the free African dance classes going on in Harlem.

     Should I put the African dance blog under Fitness or Spirit & Mind? That was the question. African dance does have healing effects. African dance is sacred, ancient, should be respected and has positive spiritual, mental and physical effects. As promised we are going to touch on drum breaks and soloing at this time.

One of my New Year's resolutions for 2024 is to ride in Bike New York's 42-mile 5 Boro Bike Tour. I'm really excited about it! I can't wait to accomplish riding 42 miles on May 2 (in 36 days!) and see all five boroughs of the city by bike.

As a Fitness Nurse, I get a bunch of e-mails on this topic.  Why we quit.  Then start again. Then quit again.  The ‘quitting part’, unfortunately lasts a lot longer than the ’start again’ part.

It is a major challenge for many of us.  But why?  Is it the pain of working out?  The embarrassment of going back to the gym?  We know we NEED it.

I had a hip replacement a few weeks ago and my healthy eating and exercising regimen has taken a backseat to recovery.

I am looking to take a self-defense class in Harlem. Does anyone know of one? Any leads would be helpful.
