As we set our fitness goals for 2013, let these these Working Divas inspire you! Don’t let the straight hair fool you. Women of color like to workout!
Ellen and Lana Ector have transformed their popular group exercise classes into a home workout tape that women can use at home. The Atlanta-based mother-and-daughter fitness duo have put together “Black Girls Workout Too”, an exercise program that pushes females to rigorously increase their heart rate while toning their entire body.
The Ectors are mission-driven with their new fitness project:
“Curves are good..in the right places! Statistics show that 4 out of 5. African-American women are overweight or obese and we have to change that!” a message on their fitness video’s website reads.
Ellen and Lana are the women behind Gymnetics Fitness, a private Atlanta-based studio that offers a variety of workout regimes to women of all ages.
The fitness tape is currently available on the Ectors’ site for $25.
