THE ROOTS OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH
On this day February 7, 1926, Carter G. Woodson, initiated the first celebration of Negro History Week which eventually led to Black History Month.
Carter G. Woodson was a smart dude! He received his Ph.D from Harvard University back in 1912 and in 1915 he founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History to encourage scholars to engage in the intensive study of the black past.
Prior to this work, the field had been largely neglected or distorted in the hands of historians who accepted the traditionally biased picture of blacks in American and world affairs. In 1916 Woodson edited the first issue of the association’s principal scholarly publication, The Journal of Negro History, which, under his direction, remained an important historical periodical for more than 30 years.
Just call him the God Father of Black History Month.

THE GREENSBORO 4️⃣🖤❤️💛💚
62 Years ago on this very day… 2-1-1960
The Greensboro Four: Ezell Blair Jr., David Richmond, Franklin McCain and Joseph McNeil. All four were students from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College.
The Greensboro sit-in was a civil rights protest that started in 1960, when young African American students staged a sit-in at a segregated Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, and refused to leave after being denied service. The sit-in movement soon spread to college towns throughout the South. Though many of the protesters were arrested for trespassing, disorderly conduct or disturbing the peace, their actions made an immediate and lasting impact, forcing Woolworth’s and other establishments to change their segregationist policies.
This is the month in which we will tell stories both past and present of what our people had to go through and what they accomplished in spite of this obstacles. May we continue to overcome the wounds of our generational trauma that we all collectively share. Instead let us use it as motivation to carry the legacy of chasing excellence and being proud of our resilient spirit.
We’re not even close to where we ought to be but we’re still closer than we’ve ever been. Keep fighting ✊🏾

I’ve perfected my CCFIT MUSCLE Program on myself, my personal clients, several HS Athletes and even ran it as a 2x/week program for GPP Populations when I owned the gym.

This is designed as 4-day/week strength training program that changes every 4-weeks. The primary objective is to build lean muscle, core stability and overall strength for anyone of any fitness level.

3️⃣ Benefits Of 1-on-1 Personal Training
1️⃣ Get the Right Form
To get the maximum benefit from your workouts, you need the right form.
Unless you’re staring in a mirror during your entire workout, it’s hard to know if your form is right or not. And even with a mirror, there might be things that you miss about your form.
A personal trainer will be able to correct your form as needed and help you get the most from your workouts.
2️⃣ Customizable Workouts
Every person is unique, and you might have unique requirements or restrictions that only a personal trainer can effectively help you with.
For example, you might have a fear of using certain machines or equipment that your trainer can help you with or work around. Or, you might have an old injury and need exercises that will take that into consideration.
Your personal trainer’s job is making training personal. That means taking into account all the things that make you unique, and designing the workout around that.
3️⃣ Set Goals Effectively
A personal trainer will help you set realistic, achievable goals and push you to reach them.
On your own, it’s hard to know what goals are good for you. You may want to see progress right away, and get discouraged when you don’t.
A personal trainer helps you make a plan that works for you and stick with it, keeping you motivated even when it seems difficult. They’ll help you know what you need to do to reach your goals faster, so you avoid doing excess, ineffective work.
