How a 67 Year Old Black Woman Succeeds in Working Out: My Mom's Weekly Fitness Routine [VIDEO]

My mom is a 67-year old retired work out queen! I was so inspired by her weekly fitness routine that I decided to shadow and film her so that I could share it with the world. I definitely want to be her when I grow up.

My mother has always enjoyed being active, but I think she took it to an all new level when she retired almost 13 years ago. This woman hula hoops for 20 minutes every morning to keep her core tight and goes on bike rides for 2-3 hours at a time. She literally spends an afternoon riding through parks, bike trails and even to neighboring towns. What?! Lol! Please know that we are not the same. I rode with her once and never joined her again. Bike riding is not my ministry. Lol!

She does pilates twice a week, and takes an aqua aerobics class twice a week. Whenever she is in the water like clockwork, she swims away from her class down to the diving board, and proceeds to do 400 pull ups! Yes, you read that right! But she would want me to tell you that she doesn’t do 400 all at one time. She does them in groups of 10 or 20. But still!!!! Who at 67 is doing 400 pull ups on anything. I am shocked and inspired all at the same time.

On the days that my mom does pilates she does 30 minutes on the elliptical machine followed by a 3 mile walk on the track. This is all before she even starts her 45 minute Pilates class. I told her she needs a hobby that doesn’t require her body to do it. Lol! I am happy that on the days she’s in the water she follows up with time in the sauna. It’s the only time she’s sitting and doing nothing. I was exhausted just filming everything she does.

My mom’s weekly schedule is consistent. She even walks in the park 3-4 days a week depending on how the weather is. The only time she has ever taken an extended break from her routine was during the pandemic when we were all at home and sheltered in place. But please know that she found other things to do at home to fill that void.

I have been wanting to share my mom’s fitness routine for quite awhile because I am super proud of her and I secretly think she is a unicorn. I also wanted her to see just how other people view her.

Check out the extended vlog below and then scroll down further to watch the Tik Tok video I made for her.

Watch, enjoy and be inspired. Ladies and gentleman, this is what 67 can look like!

Quencie Interviews Singer/Songwriter and Owner of Anise Records - BETH

On March 1, 2022 I interviewed singer, songwriter and owner of Anise record label Beth Griffith Manley. She has sang background for the legendary and iconic Anita Baker and singer KEM. You may have seen her on season 16 of The Voice on Team John Legend and Kelly Clarkston or know her as the daughter of Motown royalty. Her dad was original funk brother pianist, Johnny Griffith and played on so many iconic Motown hits.

What had me most excited about this interview was that I got to ask Beth about being Whitney Houston’s body double in the movie Sparkle! We both share a deep love for Whitney so it was amazing to get a chance speaking about her in the interview.

BETH has a new single "Let Me Be" dropping March 22nd, and on April 15th a cover of Sade's Kiss of Life will be released. It is a collaboration with musician Blair Bryant, who is a prodigy and a musical director for NAJE'.  BETH's second album Get To Know Me will be dropping in June.

9 Reasons Why I Love The New Space Gray MacBook Pro [PHOTOS]

Macbook Pro 13” Space Gray labtop

I love my new space gray Macbook Pro so much that I felt compelled to share with you 9 reasons why! I have been a mac girl for the past 15 years. I started out with a desktop but when I had to lay that computer to rest I decided to replace it with a laptop. I have had my silver Macbook Air since 2011 so, I desperately needed to upgrade.

Not only did my computer move at a snail’s pace, I literally needed the charger plugged in at all times for it to run. Otherwise my battery would quickly drop down to zero! Regardless to how slow it was, it still worked! This is why I have remained loyal to Apple products. They last a long time!

Last week, I finally upgraded and became the proud new owner of a space gray 13 “ inch Macbook Pro with that Apple M1 chip I saw everyone on Twitter talking about. It has 8 GB RAM and 512 GB storage. I love everything about this new computer. Every time I open it to work I feel like I am in the future, but the reality is I had been living in the past. If you’re looking for a new laptop allow me to share 9 reasons why you should get this one!

• 1. I saw so many tweets about how much faster the M1 chip helped the speed that I was most excited about this feature. The Apple-designed M1 chip is a giant leap in CPU, (Central Processing Unit) GPU (Graphics Processing Units) and machine learning performance. I love how quickly I click and open things all over. You’re gonna love it, especially if it is an upgrade like mine was. The lightning speed you will experience using this laptop is thrilling.

• 2. I now have up to 20 hours of battery life to work and without the charger! I used to be tied to my charger because my computer was so slow. This new laptop has the longest battery life ever in the history of the Mac. Whoo-hoo!

• 3. The 8-core CPU delivers up to 2.8x faster performance to fly through workflows quicker than ever. The speed that I experience with having multiple windows opened while I multitask projects is what I now live for. It makes working so much easier and fast!

• 4. The HD camera for Face time calls or going live is crystal clear. My reflection in the camera is crystal clear. I immediately noticed how improved the camera was as soon as I opened Face time for the first time. Also, the 8-core GPU with up to 5x faster graphics for graphics-intensive apps and games

• 5. 16-core Neural Engine for advanced machine learning

• 6. 8GB of unified memory so everything you do is fast and fluid

• 7. Super fast SSD storage launches apps and opens files in an instant

• 8. The fact that I use my finger to unlock my computer! You can’t open it unless your’e me. Touch ID didn’t even exist when I got my first mac book air 11 years ago. I love this feature.

• 9. There is an emoji bar on my computer! It sits right above my keyboard. The bar also highlights words that I use often so I can just click the bar to insert the word. And my most used emoji’s pop up automatically. I was not ready for that bar, because it was so new to me, but I absolutely love it!

Floyd Marshall Jr. Interviews Founder and Host of Studio Q, Quencie Thomas [VIDEO]

I am always the one doing interviews so, when Floyd Marshall Jr. of The Independent Film Association of Philadelphia asked to interview me I was very reluctant! That’s absolutely no shade to Floyd that is always my first response to anyone who wants to interview me.

My first question is always the same, what are we going to talk about? Floyd replied, your interviews of course! And that’s just what we did. I had a great time talking about how I got started interviewing celebrities, how I founded Studio Q and sharing some behind the scene stories.

Quencie Interviews Artist, Jerell Gantt on Instagram Live [VIDEO]

On June 29th I interviewed Artist, Jerell Gantt live on my @studioqtv Instagram. Jerell is a phenomenal artist who specializes in immortalizing black culture, black style, and black history through art. Hailing from Washington D.C., and now residing in Atlanta, Ga, Jerell expresses his personal dispositions through visual creations.

I discovered Jerell (@imitationbyjerell on Instagram) through one of his many viral videos of his art. So many celebrities featured in his creations have both reposted his work on their social media platforms as well as purchased his work. Many times I have seen his work sold as soon as he posts! Yes, he’s that good! What I love most about Jerell’s art is how he pays homage to icons in Black music, sports and history. Check out his Etsy shop and make sure to follow him on Instagram @imitationbyjerell and Tik Tok @imitationbyJerell

Quencie Interviews Torres Strait Islander, and Tik Tok Creator Scottie Savage on Instagram Live [VIDEO]

It was so wonderful to interview Torres Strait Islander, Scottie Savage. I posted one of his Tik Tok videos to my Studio Q Facebook page and it garnered over 1 million views in less than 2 weeks. I decided to create an Instagram Live series to interview content creators who went viral on my page.

Aside from Scottie’s video going viral on my facebook page, I also wanted to interview him because of his deep connection to his ancestors and his culture. The dances featured in the viral videos are ones that honor his culture.

I was beyond impressed that someone so young would take the time to make others aware about their heritage in such a profound way. I also love the way Scottie honors his grandparents and showcased them in his social media content. His content both educates and entertains his audience all at the same time.

It was so cool to discuss Scottie’s culture live and direct from Australia. One of the great things about technology is being able to connect with people form all over the world and learn about them. I loved talking to Scottie so much that I immediately made him my internet nephew! I am so looking forward to his future. The way he shares his culture with the world is amazing and I hope is something he continues to do.
