If you can’t get up from the floor… don’t ignore it.
This usually means it’s time to strengthen your legs & core.
Getting off the floor is linked to better health & independence as we age. 🙌🏽

Here are 3 beginner-friendly exercises to help build strength & stability:
✅ Seated squats — 10 reps × 2–3 sets
✅ Lunges — 8 reps/side × 2 sets
✅ Bird dogs — 8 reps/side × 2 sets

Start where you are. Then progress. 🔥

Strong legs support healthy aging.

Save this reel & try these exercises this week. Let me know which one feels the hardest right now 👀💪🏽

Movement. Laughter. Squats. Hula hoop struggles 😂💪🏽

Today, at the Hampton Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. 2nd Annual Medical & Mental Health Wellness Fair, folks showed they can still move. 🔥

Lifestyle medicine can be FUN. 🌱

I never would’ve tried a stacked plank/push-up challenge in the past. Now I’m like… why not? 💪🏽🔥

Even as a physician, I struggled with my own health too.

Lifestyle Medicine helped me treat my conditions differently.

It wasn’t overnight, but I added habits that would have a significant impact:
More strength.
More movement.
More whole plant foods.
More sleep.
More intention.

And over time, these small daily choices changed my health, my energy, and my life.

Now it’s your turn to get your life back. 💪🏽

I’ve heard it’s impossible to tone your legs in your 50s…

Let’s see about that. 💪🏽🔥

I carry weight in my thighs, glutes, and around my knees. And instead of hiding them this summer, I’m committing to change.

Here’s what I’m focusing on:
✅ Strength training & conditioning 5–6x/week
✅ Walking 5K most days
✅ Plant-forward meals that support my goals
✅ Aiming for 100 oz of water a day

Nothing extreme.
Just habits that can be repeated consistently.

If you want to follow along with me:
Measure the widest part of your hips/glutes and the fullest part of each thigh. Same spot every time. Same posture. Same measuring tape.

On this Mother’s Day, I want to remind moms that we deserve strength, energy, confidence, and health too.

I’ll share weekly updates. 🩷

Happy Mother’s Day! 💐

People thought I was okay… but I wasn’t.
I remember how I felt.
Low energy.
Painful joints and muscles.
Emotionally drained.
Not fully myself.

So I made a decision.
To change to age well. 🙌🏽

If you’re in that place right now… just start.
Let’s get your life back…

Supporting everyone else is beautiful… but don’t forget you. 🩷

Women, moms, and caregivers, we matter too. 💪🏽🌴

Somebody cheated as we turned our beach day into competition day. 😂🌴

So much work goes into moments like this. Long days, sacrifices, ups and downs. This didn’t come easy.
Today, we pause and say thank you God. 🙏🏽💕

Grateful for the journey, proud of the young man, thankful for this memory. 🏆🔥

My son was the last athlete to go. He needed a 12.15 on parallel bars to tie for 1st place in all-around. He scored 12.20.

No matter the result, I’m so proud of his dedication and work. 🫶🏽
