I’ve heard it all now….HAHA!!
Yesterday i heard a lady say she wasn’t going to work out because she didn’t want to mess up her hair. I said WOW!! I mean maybe its me and with no disrespect to anyone’s ethnic heritage but I have heard black women say that they don’t like to swim because it will mess their hair up. But working out? What could possibly happen? Don’t you sleep on that same hair when you go to bed? How is training gonna hurt it? Is it gonna fall out because of the intensity of the cardio? Or is it gonna go flat from you doing too many squats? Or how about this one….you will get split ends from it getting caught in the cables while doing cable crunches? I need answers to this. I’m gonna sit back now and enjoy celebrating something that I haven’t celebrated too much this year, a Florida State victory and decide whether I order the UFC 104 PPV this weekend while i enjoy these replies…

you know sista’s sleep in a chair the day they get their hair done…don’t pretend to not know this
October 23, 2009 at 2:53 pm
But the new do only lasts a couple of days…just get yo hair did on the days off from the gym
October 23, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Not a clue.
But last year I did see a woman on the treadmill at the gym with her hair in curlers. I could only hope, for her sake, that she had a super hot date at some formal event that evening.

ok i’ve got a lady in spin class that has hair in rollers, sun glasses says the lights hurt her eyes…news flash the lights are turned off, she wears her waist band, you know the one they tell you will make you sweat, on the outside of her clothes cause she doesn’t like to feel sweaty. Wayne, the hair is just the top of a list of 20 reasons why "girls" don’t go to gym.

Al if she comes in the gym like that, she better have Brad Pitt for a date

Fitclubmom, a little lesson on black women, they will say just about anything and most of the time it will keep you rolling. Even though the part of Madea is played by a man in Tyler Perry movies, she pretty much says everything a black woman would say.

c,mon Stu, you know that the only man that takes his hairdresser to the gym in England is Elton John…HAHA!
October 23, 2009 at 3:16 pm

October 23, 2009 at 3:18 pm
ok here’s the first one that comes to mind was told the reason she doesn’t work out is it makes her hungry and she trying to loose weight not gain. true story!
October 23, 2009 at 3:21 pm

LOL too funny…now I see where Renew’s list originated! I wear a cap to the gym because I don’t do my hair to go…why do it for it to get messed up with the sweat? I don’t workout on the days I get my hair done though- it’s called a rest day haha
October 23, 2009 at 5:42 pm
I don’t even know what to say. I think I’m gonna make a new friend request to renew1 though. Let me comb my hair first though…..
