Had so much fun biking around Entebbe. One of the most active ways to tour with the dopest tour guide. We ended up in the reptile village with crocs, snakes, tortoises, etc. See that sun in December. This is Africa 🙂 . . . #eightsnweights #uganda #cycling #FitTraveler #fitnigeria #nigeria #fitafrica #fitfam #biketour #naijafitfam #naijanomads #tripzapp
Team #AirportYoga 🙂 Jokes aside, if you travel as much as I do, it is very very important to move as your body is at risk for all manner of things because of all that sitting on planes. Some tips that work for me: 🛫Take your yoga mat with you, find quiet corners during layovers, and stretch. 🛫Set a stopwatch so you get up and walk to the bathroom periodically. 🛫Try to keep stretching while you sit. Roll your ankles, extend your legs, and roll your neck from side to side. 🛫Bring a good book and stand while you read it for a few mins. 🛫Drink lots of water. Please share some of your tips! . . . #eightsnweights #FitTraveler #travelholic #fitnigeria #nigeria #tripzapp #naijanomads #yoga #yogi #fitfam #fitafrica #fitafrique #traveltips #healthylifestyle
#AbsWednesdays guys! The Russian Twist is amazeballs for your obliques (sides of your abs). Start slow with both feet on the floor, abs tight, and rotate from your waist. Lift your legs only if you can maintain this motion with your abs without putting all the pressure in your lower back.

Stretching after a cold ass run. For those runners who don't stretch enough, your hips, glutes, and even your back are holding on to lotttsss of tension that could build up over time. You don't have to do what I'm doing but these are some examples of great post-run stretches. Are you good about your stretching? . . . #eightsnweights #FitTraveler #fitnigeria #nigeria #fitafrica #fitfam #nigerianrunners #naijafitfam #blackgirlsrun #runnersofinstagram #IBuiltThis #inspiration #weightloss #motivation #yoga #yogi
#AbsWednesdays is the flutter kick. Not much to say on these other than try to keep your abs tight, lower back on the mat, and shoulders down. If you want to be Superman/woman, you could add some ankle weights 🙂 Who is trying these today? . . . #eightsnweights #abs #sixpackabs #corestrength #fitnigeria #nigeria #fitnaija #weightloss
Activate your glute muscles! And of course challenge yourself with some ankle weights. One common mistake I see with these is people letting their lower backs do all the work swinging the leg without control rather than trying to keep everything tight and lift that leg from the booty. It takes control but you feel it more. Don’t cheat yourself out of results. . . . #eightsnweights #fitfam #fitnigeria #nigeria #weightlossjourney #weightloss #FitTraveler #hotelgym #glutes #strengthtraining #muscle
Moving around in these backbends to open up the shoulders. What are you doing to work out this weekend? . . . #eightsnweights #backbend #yoga #yogi #weightloss #nigeria #fitnigeria #fitnaija #nigeriafitness #nigerianyogis
#AbsWednesdays is an oldie but a goodie! #Repost ・・・ #AbsWednesdays! Sometimes we're all gra-gra and forget that slow movements actually put a lot of work on those muscles. Work your abs with these 2 versions of leg lifts. A few things to note: 1) The abs remain tight and the lower back isn't moving up and down. 2) I show you 2 versions. In the first, you need the flexibility to hold your legs up straight, so if you can't, just bend your knees a little like in the second version. Don't worry - as you work more on it, you'll build the strength. 3) Slow and controlled and you'll feel it more. With a smile of course!

#AbsWednesdays! When you do these, it is important to keep your abs tight when the knee comes forward in the plank. Rather than focus on height, focus on using your core to support you through the movement. Try to do 3 rounds of 1 min on each side to really wake up those abs. Who is trying these today? Bye to crunches 😜 . . . #eightsnweights #abs #sixpackabs #coreworkout #fitnigeria #nigeria #fitfam #fitafrica #weightloss #blackfitness
Hello San Diego. Back bending half clothed outside while my east coasters are cold. Move to Cali or nah? . . . #eightsnweights #FitTraveler #fitnigeria #nigeria #fitafrica #fitfam #yogi #yogisofig #yoga #nigeriantraveller #nigerianyogis #nigerianfitfam #travelyogi
Do you dedicate time to stretching? Working out is fantastic but your muscles need some stretching love to maximize strength. . . . #eightsnweights #FitTraveler #fitnigeria #nigeria #fitafrica #fitfam #yogi #yogisofig #yoga #stretching #workout #weightloss #exercise #fitnessmotivation
#AbsWednesdays is the crawling elbow plank. If you have discs, you can actually slide your bad ass self forward and back as you crawl with your elbows. You'd be surprised how much this works your core. Try this for 3 rounds of 30 secs.

Looking to build up to a tripod headstand? Try this with your back up against a wall. Abs tight and go sloooowww. You should be on the center of your head or you’d be putting pressure on the neck. Don’t rush into it. If you can only lift one leg from your elbow, do that until your core is strong enough. PS. This also serves as a great abs workout 🙂 . . . #eightsnweights #abs #headstand #yoga #yogi #nigeria #fitnigeria #fitnessmotivation #motivation #inspiration #yogisofcolor #yogisofig #blackfitnesswomen #fitfam
😂😂😂 Oh so true for me! Have you felt this way during yoga? . #Repost @alexzandrapeters ・・・ *Volume On* These are just a few thoughts that have ran through my mind once or twice (100 times) during a yoga class! 😂🙌 I’d love to hear some of the funny thoughts that you guys have during a class- comment below so we can make each other feel normal 😂
#AbsWednesdays is this plank variation. I'm smiling but I'm crying inside because these are tough 😫 Do them on your knees if this variation is muccchhh for you. If you pick the full variation, try to keep your arms and back straight, and focus on tight abs rather than how far your leg is kicking out. Summer is over but abs are always in season abeg. Feel free to curse me as you are doing it. Whi is trying these today or sometime in their life? . . . #eightsnweights #FitTraveler #fitnigeria #nigeria #fitafrica #fitfam #abs #weightloss #coreworkout #sixpackabs #sixpackloading

Grainy #AbsWednesdays 😝 Two options: You can either try this with your feet on the mat and just lift one at a time, or do it as I’m doing with both feet off. Keep your abs tight here so you’re not straining the lower back!

It's amazing how energized you feel after rest, alone time, and friends who champion you. Next month for me is about gratitude because my mental state is so much better when I focus on positivity and being grateful. Hope you enjoy the last few hours of your weekend and come back refreshed for the week! . . . #eightsnweights #FitTraveler #fitnigeria #nigeria #nigerianrunners #runnersofinstagram #runner #blackgirlsrun #fitafrica #fitnaija #fitfam #runnergirl #weightloss #cardio
#AbsWednesdays! This is tough but what doesn’t kill you and all... There is the temptation to collapse here so make sure you are coming close to the mat but not relaxing all the way when you lower down. Core tight!

Not everyday legs and abs; some days shoulders 💪🏿 Try to lift without shrugging the shoulders or rushing through the movement. Abs tight so you keep your whole body stable! . . . #eightsnweights #fitfam #FitTraveler #fitnigeria #nigeria #upperbodyworkout #barbell #weightloss
