  1. I love those – so simple! Just “to exercise X body part, do Y exercise”. It’s exactly what I need, because I have a tendency to over-research, to use “I don’t know how” as an excuse to stop me from doing anything. Plus, I think they’d be great for countering “I don’t have time” – just pick one body part and go!

  2. Hi Miz –

    Videos galore! It’s like watching my own little MizFit-athon!

    Workout cards? I’d use them with my kids – make it a game somehow (if the exercises are appropriate). I’d keep ’em in my briefcase/backpack – that’s going to get the most travel time.

  3. I thought I was a fan before … now I think I might just be girl-crushing on you! Love the kitchen exercise and think I might actually be able to do the Blooper Back Plank with no problem whatsoever!!! 🙂

    As for the cards I’m going to have to order them if you don’t find it in your heart to just send me some. They’d be SO helpful at work on the nights when I actually get a break and can find someplace to break a sweat gland!

  4. HeyMiz! Thanks for putting all those videos together. Bookmarking this page for sure!

    The video cards are great idea! I would use them at home and at the gym. I have a hard time getting weight training in, because I don’t know what I’m doing. So these would be like my own personal cheat sheet! Love it! 🙂

  5. Thanks so much for all of these grouped together.
    I wonder if you could just cut and paste and make it a page at your blog?

    Could you burn them to a dvd and sell them for us?
    so we could work out with you at home?

    Thanks!!!

  11. This page is getting bookmarked by me too! Thanks for working so hard to help us all get fit. I love Lance’s idea of making these cards a game with your kids. That’s exactly what I’ll do. Don’t enter me in the contest however, I’ve already got some on the way from Nuruplanet. Thanks!

  12. Wow! Nice collection of vids.

    Those cards are neat. Not sure what I’d use them for…probably for when I get my new workout space set up…another great resource.

    make it a great day.

  14. Thanks, but you can leave me out of the drawing. I’m already playing with a full deck, although you may have heard otherwise.

    I got’s to know: What does your shirt say? All my squinty eyes can come up with is “Love Monster”, but I don’t think that’s it.

  17. I would love to have these in my car — to bring into the gym when I know I have a few extra minutes to work out or to pull out at the park when I’m with my kids and my mind goes blank on what I could be doing to squeeze in a workout.

  18. I would totally bring these to the gym with me instead of my magazine ripouts.
    I had seen them before but not in person. I think I may just buy a pack if I don’t win.

    I, too, would adore a MizFit dvd.

    Any chance for that?

  19. I’d probably just have them at home while working out.

    Wow, MF…the mounf o exercise videos you’ve done are impressive!

  20. Firstly, I love the vid-links. I second the suggestion from somewhere up there that you make this a permanent page on the blog.

    And the cards? I’d store them at work for those long days when I can’t get home or to the gym early but I have minutes somewhere in the day to throw in some exercise.

    In fact, I’ve been thinking about buying a pack/creating something myself from my mag workouts. Might have to get onto that if I don’t win.

  21. Oh i could definitely put those to good use 🙂 I’m pretty much a newbie at using weights etc… and any added motivation would be a great thing!!

  22. Cool cards. I like anything that fits in a pocket, since if I carry a purse, all the junk in the world become magnetically attracted to them. I was scary when I had a diaper bag to carry. I think it weighed 40 lbs., a workout in itself.

    I looked at their site, too… it’s worth noting that they have a neat pack of emergency/first aid cards, might really be worth having for those of us who keep trying (and failing) to remember to brush up first aid skills.

  23. Nina, I saw those too. I almost wanna just get em all since they are so reasonably priced.

    Am I remembering right that there are golf ones too?

    I need to look again…

  24. WOW!!! I am so bookmarking this page, AND if I don’t get the free Nuru cards I’m going to buy them anyway.

    (My fat bet starts today! Unfortunately I dropped a bunch of pounds in the week previous–just nervous or something, I guess. I tried to eat a bunch last night, so as to boost the start weight, but it didn’t work. :-P)

  25. Those cards sound really neat! Anything that helps me shake up my routine is good, because I often get stuck in a workout rut.

    Great tips yesterday, too, and the Mizfit Magazine? Awe-Some! (Just read the post this morning. I’ve been living under a rock for the past week.)

  26. Ooooh, I totally need these. Wasn’t I just talking with you about this the other day – I think it was you?

    I’ve been doing some strength training in addition to my cardio, and I’ve seen some impressive results in my bicep area by doing pushups. I was looking at my arm the other day, straight on and was like “Wow, look at that, I have a skinny-girl arm” and then I moved and realized that by just focusing on the pushups, I’ve been neglecting other areas of my arm, which now looks mildly off-balanced. The tricep area is all loose (blech!)

    Anyway, I would so totally love to have something small and organized like that which I would put in my gym bag. My bag is a bright lime green, my favorite color! I carry my gym keys in there, with the keychain that says Shiny New Australia on it (If you haven’t watched Dr. Horrible and you like Joss Whedon, you really, really should watch it, it’s trippy!) I also keep a towel, my inhaler, a bottle of water, my phone (so I can tweet from the treadmill, god, that’s geeky!), a banana, my iPod Shuffle, and generally a banana or peach in there. It’s got multiple pockets, but sometimes I feel like I’m not taking as much advantage of the bag as I could, and this would give me something else to put in there that I could feel proud about!

  28. I would not use the cards but that never stops me from commenting.

    I think Lynn C really wants them. She wrote a lot. Wow.

  29. LOVE the workout videos. Especially since I woke up with a stomachache and did NOT make it to the gym this morning. 🙁 But! I have weights and a Pilates ball at home, and can do some of this after work! Woo-hoo! 😀

    LOVE the cards, btw. I get so distracted at the gym (I have the attention span of a goldfish) that I finally started compiling a master list of all the exercises my trainer gave me. So every time I go to the gym, I drag my list along and lay it on the floor. That way when I can’t remember what to do, I can look down, scan the list and go, “Oh! I haven’t done THAT in a while!” LOL

  30. LOVE the cards – how great would these be for traveling? Very compact and handy to carry with you. Do they include band exercises (or exercises easily adapted to bands)? Cause that would be the perfect combo…I could definitely see me keeping these in the bag I always use when we travel, with my exercise bands.

    Thanks for the links, I’m definitely bookmarking this post for future easy video reference!

    V.

  33. Oooo, those look amazing. Perfect to drop in your suitcase, thus not having the “I’m not inspired” excuse or “I’m so far from the gym or any equipment” excuse when away from home.

  34. Those are cool! I can so see a game or two I could make up with my girls where we all use those.

    I bookmarked this post too- I never realized that there were so many videos. Awesome!

  35. Miz work out videos all in one compact spot? My dream come true!! I’ve been consistently working out my arms and shoulders using 6 of your videos but feel ready to change it up. This post is perfect timing for me. Thanks Miz! 🙂

  36. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I am new to exercising and your videos are very helpful…and very affordable (in this economy… 🙁 we have to think that way) …and very understandable.

    Thank you again!!

    I really like the workout cards!! They would be very helpful as well!

    PS – I Love your site and you are great! Thank you!

  39. The cards are a great idea! I think I would use them at the gym to mix up my routine. I’ve never varied from what they originally set me up to do and it would make it easier to try new things! You rock Miz.

  43. This is SO helpful, thank you! I do many of these exercises regularly and I know that instead of improving my form, instead I get lazy out of familiarity, so it really helps me to review these.

    *I love the Nuru cards. So handy!

  46. great vids…fun cards…sign me up!

    did an upper body weight routine (so sore!) for the first time in a long time yesterday…those cards sure would keep me inspired.

    happy hump day!

  49. Bookmarked! Love how these are all put together in one post now.

    If I knew anything about dvd technology and all I’d be your volunteer. But methinks I’m better off with the writing stuff so I’ll just volunteer for any help you need with anything for your MizFit magazine 😀

    These cards look super awesome, they’d be loads of fun to use when traveling or to use with working out with a partner. My sister has a love/hate relationship with exercise so this would be a perfect way to get her motivated if she saw these little cards in her bag all the time!

  50. A BIGBIG THANK YOU (and no you arent losing yer mind Bea) to MizFitMag’s Volunteer LayoutWoman SHELLEY for surprising me and adding the video page above.

    You.Are.The.Best.

    THANK YOU!

  52. You always inspire me to try new exercises! Thanks for putting together this great “hit-list”!!

    I think the cards would make me understand more of the “whys” of doing some of the exercises. I’d hang them on my bag to remind me to get busy!

  56. Wow! So many new things to try….
    Thank you so much for taking the time to link to all of your videos. I guess I’m out of excuses for being bored with my workouts now! Add the cards in and I’d have new exercises for the rest of the year! ^_~

  58. What a great idea! When I rave about anything besides my running and yoga, which people seem to get, the biggest comment is – “how do you know what to do?” Lucky for me, I have a lot of background knowledge having been a gymnast and diver for the first 18 years of my life (conditioning, conditioning, conditioning – hated it but had to do it to get strong enough for the fun stuff), but that would be GREAT for someone needing a pocket guide. And I’m sure I’d learn a thing or twenty myself. 🙂

  59. Am. Blown. Away. By. Your. Post. Today…..what effort it took to compile this physical love note of empowerment.

    Rock on, MizFit, rock on.

    You are undoubtedly my hero.

  60. I would bring the workout cards to work…. I work for an athletic dept. and unfortunately I am the only one here that doesn’t know what I’m doing with exercise training. These cards would be a huge help!

  61. LOL at comment #10 about the pocket MizFit.

    Although I do think you could fit in my pocket!

    Right alongside the cards I want to win so I can use them when I travel.

  62. Thank you so much for this post as I am ALWAYS looking for new strength training exercises.

    Oh my gosh – I WOULD love those cards and get so much use out of them as I love getting creative and using my own body weight. Somtimes, I just get really tired of my dumbbells and need something new to keep me motivated.

  64. I would use the workout cards for my days that I’m supposed to be working out at home…sadly for me, I have C.R.S. syndrome and can only remember a couple of the exercises that I’ve learned in my workout classes. These would really help me!

  65. Love the cards. My crazy imagination suggested this: a MizFit hologram that appears before me several times a day and says Do this! Now! Like this! 1, 2, 3 …. That would be really great. :>)

  66. I would probably use the cards on my (now frequent) out of town travel days. But they would probably be very useful to me at home.

  67. I adore the new page as I can not find things when I have tried to search.

    What’s the story with the bracelet?

  72. That is fantastic! I mean the cards would be great, but just having links to everything is so awesome.

    Thank you so much!

  74. These are a big help. I quit the gym to save money and am determined to workout every day. Rock on…I have to get your bracelet too! Toys are gr8

  75. feel free to email me always with suggestions/ideas for facetime videos.

    Things you’d wanna see me stumble thru, errr, elaborate upon.

    xo xo,

    Pocket MizFit

  81. i never knew skull crushers were really supine extensions. i can’t decide which i like better…

    for *me* they are two different exercises!
    Skull crushers use a straight or e-z curl bar.
    Supine extensions always dumbbells.

    anyone else?

  83. Thanks for all of these videos! The cards look cool.

    And, most of all, thanks for your supportive words on my last post. I really appreciate them!

  85. i’ve been seeing these around the blogosphere and they look super cool! i think i’d keep them in my backpack for when we go on roadtrips. i always plan to get in exercise while we’re away (and i do if the weather is appropriate) but i never get around to doing any indoor strength training. these would be perfect to have.

  86. Thank-you so much for posting videos. I didn’t even think to look up “chickenbus.” LOL!
    I’ve been doing a ton of strength workouts.
    With 3 monhs under my belt, I’ve been thinking I am going to ramp it up. These videos will help!

  88. Thanks for the links! Checked out a few and they are pretty amazing! If I were anything near as fit as you it would be greattt!!!

    And I would love to win those cards!

  91. Hi Miz,

    Thanks for the ton of links. No excuses, eh?

    As for the cards, I think I’d tote them around during the workday, sift through them during meetings, use them as motivators, leave a few in strategic places around the house so my dh can pick up a few ideas “on his own,” share ’em with a gym pal.

    MizFit Mag? A great idea! Hope it works out –

  92. The Planksplanation sounds like a worthy cause I might find on a ballot somewhere. Vote for Prop Plank. My core says no, a million times no. Recount not needed. It’s a No.

    Someday, someday Miz I’ll get there…

  93. This is fantastic! Thanks for doing what you do! I am always looking for quick things I can add in when I have a few extra moments in the evening. Your videos are great.

  94. Great demos! The cards would be fantastic to have on all my work trips (hotel gyms are so often sub-par).

  95. I want some cards!! I often do a workout with regular playing cars but it involves having an accompanying list of exercises which means I have to plan ahead and/or be in my living room and these cards just seem PERFECT and AWESOME for me I want I want I want!

  96. ooh, i guess i do them normally with a bar… Do they work different muscles using dumbells vs. bar? (besides more stabilizers with the dumbells)

  99. Sorry for the immense critique, but I’m really loverlike the new Zune, and wish this, as vessel as the superior reviews both other grouping feature cursive, leave help you determine if it’s the compensate for you.
