First Time Sledding

As a kid growing up, there were many things I wished I could do but didn’t have the money for. Sledding was one of those things.

Growing up in a low-income household, my parents couldn’t afford to buy me the warm winter gear or the sleds that many of my classmates had. So, I resigned myself to watching from the sidelines as I heard about the trips from friends in more affluent neighborhoods.

But this year, something changed. As an adult, I finally had the means to buy myself a sled and the warm gear I needed to stay comfortable in the cold. And so, on a whim, I decided to give sledding a try.

I have to admit, I was a little nervous as I made my way up the hill. It had been so long since I’d last done this, and I wasn’t sure I remembered how. But as I sat down on the sled and pushed off, something magical happened.

The wind rushed through my hair and the cold stung my cheeks as I flew down the hill, my laughter mixing with the sound of the sled cutting through the snow. It was a feeling of pure joy and freedom, and I couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear.

As an African American writer, I am grateful for the opportunity to experience new things and make up for lost time. And while sledding might seem like a small and insignificant thing to some, it was a moment of pure happiness and childhood delight that I will always treasure.

Workout Progress

I’m excited to share that my workout routine has been going exceptionally well lately! I’ve been feeling healthier and stronger than ever, and I have resistance band training to thank for it. I personally chose the WOD Fitters brand because they had a lifetime warranty.

I mentioned it before, but if you’re not familiar with resistance band training, it’s a type of workout that uses elastic bands to provide resistance as you perform exercises. It’s an incredibly effective and versatile way to work out, and it’s perfect for anyone looking to improve their strength, flexibility, and overall fitness.

I was initially drawn to resistance band training because I’ve been traveling a bit here and there but also a lot of the gyms nearby closed down during the pandemic. But what I didn’t realize was just how challenging and effective it would be. From arm curls to squats to chest presses, I’ve been amazed at the progress I’ve made and the muscle definition I’ve gained.

But it’s not just about the physical benefits. I’ve also noticed a marked improvement in my energy levels and overall sense of well-being. And as a writer, having the energy and focus to sit down and work on my craft is invaluable.

So if you’re looking to improve your fitness and overall health, I highly recommend giving resistance band training a try. You might just be surprised at the results.
