Finding Fabulous: Fit over 40 and Feeling Good

It was April 26, 2014. Angelique posted a pic on Facebook.

Status read: Taking my fitness journey to the next level with my new trainer. Stay tuned for my transformation! 

Ya girl, Minista Jazz, tuned in, and babes, Angelique did not disappoint. 
Here it is, nearly one year later, and Angelique Miles made it to that next level, the one after that, and still is on the road to…well, she's unstoppable!  

As if she was on a vertical treadmill, Angelique quickly climbed the fitness ladder to success. This is my WEDNESDAY WOMAN CRUSH.  

Finding fabulous would seem like an effortless task for this beauty from Queens, NY, but instead she tells of fights and scars from her youth that left her feeling a self conscious for many years.

The thing is, when Angelique was a kid, she wanted to be an archaeologist, so it makes all the sense that she would one day decide take a personal excavation. From the deep dig she found and revealed a spark that was within her all along.

A powerful shift took place, and who has emerged is this confident, courageous, and charismatic woman, committed to sharing her inspirational journey with us.

Her sparks of insight have been lighting up the networks because Angelique recently launched her fitness blog, THE MILES METHOD. Go there to discover the wonders of Kangen alkaline water, tonics of turmeric, and the benefits of bikram yoga balance.

Whether she is spinning, running, or lifting, this future philanthropist is a master at post workout glory.

Let me take a selfie

I freakin' live for her gym selflies. Her reflective images loudly proclaim, "I am who I say I am, I've become who I said I would become, I will be whatever I decide to be, and I am so happy being me."

From her heart to yours…get sparked up by Angelique Miles:

You spend a lot of time in the gym, when you are not earning your muscles, how are you earning a living?

I am an independent entertainment consultant. I host and produce special events, I do music clearances, and other music-related projects.

If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing?

The perfect life to me is taking several fitness classes a day in different places, traveling the globe and weekly massages. But eventually, I would probably tire of that and feel the need to contribute and give something to society. I would give to charity or volunteer work a lot more actively than I do now.

If today was the last day of your life, what would you want to do?

I would want to have a great meal and spend the whole day with the people I love that love me back.

10 weeks of dedicated action

What can you do today that you couldn’t do a year ago? What will you be able to do at this time next year?

I can stay on the Stairmill at level 10 for 30 minutes straight. Last year this time I could barely do 15-20 minutes at level 5. I don’t know how to swim, so I would like to do that by next year.

If karma was coming back to you, would it help or hurt you?

Angelique & Ginuwine

Business-wise, it would help me. As a music publishing executive many years ago, I gave many people great opportunities and huge paychecks to provide for their families. I’m guessing that has to come back to me in some way.

What have you done that you’re most proud to have achieved?

I have managed to be in incredible shape at the age of 48.

Describe the next five years of your life, and your plans, in a single sentence.

To be an inspiration to 40+ women all over the world to live their best, fit, healthy, & fabulous life.

When it is all said and done, why do you get granted access into heaven?

Because I did the best I could. *** I LOVE THIS ANSWER***

Health and happiness are like peanut butter and jelly, you need both to get that special favor.

As for me, I know I need to get back on my fitness flow so while you are reading this, I am running to the gym.

I got my SMS Sync 50 Wireless Headphones so if people talking about my jiggly booty, I won't hear a thing… NOISE CANCEL boo! Shoot, I'm too focused and busy dancing on the treadmill, hands in the air, praying that when I am 48, I'll look as fabulous as Angelique Miles. 

Stay fit ya'll!

Hearts & Sparks,

MJ
