  4. Hey Mizfit,

    I cracked up at your short but funny post! (And yes, I just HAD to sneak a peek at Mark’s abs, though I don’t even know Mark.) (And I also have to admit that after seeing that, I couldn’t concentrate on the rest of the post.) Thanks for the laughs!

  5. three things:

    Do you really do the lunging across the parkinglot? hilarious.

    who films those videos when you are not in your house?

    Can you show us how to do the stiff legged things you say made your glutes sore?

  6. hahahha love your lunging to the bank. I always try to park further away when I can! It is nice to have the time to just walk and clear your head!!

  7. I do this 😉 except the lunging 🙂 For sure, people in this little small town would think I lost it! You can get away with it though……..seriously………it made me laugh in a good way!

  9. Stiff legged deadlifts! Unfortunately I’m not flexible enough in the hammies to do conventional clean deadlifts (I think that’s what they’re called), so I just started trying stiff legged deadlifts. The main problem I’m having is trying to focus on the glutes and hamstrings while also trying to focus on maintaining the straight back 😀 Should I just go with no weight till I can get that sorted?

  11. FLG? I am ALL ABOUT the weight free until you can do the mind/body AH HA! and feel an exercise in the right place.

    additionally with STIFF LEGGED DEADS I get so so so sore if I havent done them in a while my first few sets are always really really light.

    (uh, thats a rambling YES to your question)

  13. this is the exercise CLICK HERE

    and, again, (hello dead horse! it’s MizFit and Im here to beat you!) do the exercise first w/out weights to get the FEEL and then add lightlight weights and progress from there.

    questions?

  15. OK the lunging to the bank made me smile! 🙂 I couldn’t laugh because last week I lunged to and from my mailbox in my apartment complex. 🙂 Nobody saw me, so I tell myself. I’ll have to try the stiff legged dead lifts, that looks like a great butt workout. I was a big Linda Hamilton T2 fan, talk about badass!!! 🙂

  16. I’m not sure my small town can handle me lunging in public. yet.
    Miz? If you come here and do it with me I will.

    I shall start small and lunge around the house.

  17. natalia?

    loved T2. I have a cell from the movie hanging in my office and linda (back then anyway…not sure about now as methinks she has grown more passive (life not muscles) with age. need to read up on the Hamilton) was the reason I started lifting.

    and alissa? youre going to lunge around your house to destress in between writing out checks/pay bills. yes?

    send the airplane ticket and Im on my way to your small town.

    WAIT.
    is it cold there?

    you may need to come to TEXAS.

  19. Tee-hee…Miz, you are EVERYWHERE and I love it!

    Gotta try the deadlift, somehow I missed this one when it was on the first time. That was a rough month or so for me so maybe that’s why. But it looks awesome and I’m always looking for glute exercises! (Sitting on them all day at a desk means I need to work them extra hard to combat the gravitational spread.)

  21. ok. nerdALERT.

    for those of you in a rush and not watching the video.

    *protect your backs. dont ROUND but imagine keeping your back almost flat like a table.
    *inhale as you sloooowly lower and exhale as you rise up and focus on using those glute muscles to lift you back upward.

    remember those plastic birds people used to prop by bird baths? the ones which would dip in and out of the water?

    kinda like that.

    and TB? I thought the same thing—though I surely WOULD NOT so I wasnt gonna make the comment 😉

  24. I know, Dr. J.

    how HIP would I have been to say my fave exercise was flipping tires or using a sledgehammer or some such.

    Evan? Here’s a link to ALL my videos (the dumbbell presses and dumbbell flyes are in there. the barbell squats are asofyet unfilmed.).

    (dont ask about the chickenbus. being silly bit me in the arse as I can now NEVER change the name w/out re-uploading all the videos. wanna offer to do that for me? :))

  28. Just started doing barbell squats. I’m using fairly light weights (at the moment.. they seem to need to go up every week!), and I’m using the squat box instead of the Smith. Find needing to concentrate on balancing the bar is a great way to focus.

    (I’m finding the same thing in doing BB benchpress… concentration is prime when you’re working alone!). Here’s I’d much rather use the Smith.. but it’s usually hard to get.

    And damn, Mark has got fine abs! Distracted me completely for a while…

  30. I park in the furthest spaces and run to and from my car. You look so cute doing your parking lot lunges I’m feeling just about bold enough for that, too. Ever do ’em with Tornado on your back? Go mommy go!

  31. I lovelove the flat bench barbell as well Deb.
    Makes me feel like Im Ms. Olympia (or Linda Hamilton or…who is even roughtoughandBUFF these days as a woman?)

    I guess mark is doing something RIGHT with his PALEO LIVING!

    hmmmmm 🙂

    and I guess I DO lead a fear based life, tfh.
    I will run (ok jog) across a lot with the Tornado on my back but lunging? Im afraid Ill break a hip.

  34. I swear I have also seen you lunging in the grocery store.

    It’s funny you use chickenbus.
    I always use mudhen. (but not for youtubeness)

  35. I just wanted to tell you that I got my Dr. Sears book, Toxic Fat in the mail today! I’m so excited to read it! Thanks again for having the interview with him and the give away.

  38. Thanks for linking all your videos Miz.
    Could you add a place on site where we could find them, too?

    I love the facetimes and am creating a workout!

  40. Are you a Monty Python fan by chance?

    My son saw me watching your video and tipped me off to a non-exercise stress reducer. The Monty Python Ministry of Silly Walks skit is hilarious- and laughter is healthy stress relief, right? (I watched it on youtube).

  41. lol, i was about to mention the ministry of silly walks skit, and i’m glad someone else did too. that’s what your video blog reminded me of 🙂 (it was also informative! walking is a total stress reliever. and i guess lunging is kind of fun in its own way..)

  42. ok I need to revisit that skit as, for some reason, Im not a huge MP fan.

    the husband? **huge**

  43. HUGE fan, Miz Fit … in fact, I’m working on my dream board right now, based on your vlog.

    But I wanted to let you know — on the site that you linked to, the first link to your page (the one about stiff-leg deadlifts) does not work.

  44. thanks Katy.
    And yes DANGNUBBIT 😉

    I’m gonna link all videos in a sidebar soon….for now here’s a direct link to my CLICK HERE youtube channel!
