Healthy Lifestyle Evolution
About Dr. 'Ali
The Fitness Doctor, Muslimah 'Ali Najee-ullah, PhD, is the premiere health and fitness expert. She earned her Doctorate in Anatomy in 2009 from Howard University. During her studies she completed a fellowship performing scientific research on movement disorders at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in the National Institute for Neurological Disorder and Stroke. After earning the Ph.D., Muslimah realized that instead of continuing her studies with movement DIS-order, she would rather tackle the issue of the lack of proper and effective movement in our daily lives. Specifically, she wanted to motivate, inspire, and teach individuals to live a fit and healthy lifestyle. Having a proper diet, and maintaining an active lifestyle by moving our bodies effectively are proactive steps to prevent heart disease and obesity. She transformed her knowledge of anatomy, and the structure and function of the human body into a health and fitness business "Fit and Healthy You with Dr. 'Ali".
Since the inception of the business in 2012, Dr. 'Ali has competed in numerous races, including a marathon (finish time 4:16), a few half marathons (personal best time 1:52), and several 5K's (personal best time 26:39). She has instructed hundreds of fitness classes, from Zumba and strength training (light weights, resistance bands and calesthenics), to cardio jam sessions and boot camps (plyometrics). She has trained dozens of runners to participate in competitive running events, including 5K, 10K, half marathons, and marathons. She motivates and inspires hundreds of people daily, leading by example, posting her own workouts, nutritious recipes, inspirational messages. She is always looking for ways to challenge her physical and mental self to keep her body in fit and healthy shape!
Dr. 'Ali's philosophy on engaging in physical activity is to find what YOU LOVE to do, and then DO IT OFTEN! Find your fitness, then compete with yourself to get stronger, better, and faster. Take each day as it comes, and make today better than yesterday. Take measured steps to improve your diet. Small consistent changes over time yield more lasting than crash diets or fads. Remember, in this lifestyle evolution, it's a marathon, not a sprint!
