Working out…not blogging about fitness.

by

Today Im neither writing about a new fitness trend nor cajoling others to GIT TO IT!

Today Im neither fretting about giveaways & nor yammering lovingly about setting an example for our children.

Today.

This morning.

Right now.

Im bring my excuse-laden arse to the kitchen and choosing to do an exercise I love…to hate.

Im lunging.

Please to join me?

I’ll save you a hand towel…

(Later in our morning) UPDATE.

Mimicking? Mocking? It’s such a fine fine line.

  4. Have you thought about making a home workout dvd?
    Is there a place where all your videos are?

    I’m a new fan.

  7. It is 615a.
    Please tell me that video is not from this morning, Mizzy.

    Knowing the Tornado it really is….

    🙂

    • yes from this morning although you KNOW there was a whole bunch of HI I’m MizFit mockage involved….right up till the time I fumbled for the phone video cam.

      Always the way 😉

  8. LOVE YOU GUYS!!

    I do the same thing in my bathroom when I’m drying my hair…only I use ValSlides because my room is carpeted. Multi-tasking at its finest!

  11. I love these videos, especially of the tornado. I will be trying these lunges while I bake cookies and muffins today 🙂

  13. Great! Another exercise to add to my ‘traveling’ repertoir. Most hotel bathrooms will have enough room to do that. LOVE the Tornado’s interpretation. My form is a little similar to hers at times.

  14. And no excuses for not working out today 😉

    I did these to music and felt them in my legs and heart rate.

  15. Yes, Ma’am. I don’t like lunges, either. I consider them penance, but if you can do them, I can also.

    • I laughed when a friend (in real life-friend) tweeted at me this morning that, judging by my videos one would think I only lunged at the grocery or at home.

      I told her INDEED SHE WOULD BE CORRECT.

      At the gym lunging for me plops the WORK back in WORKOUT.

  18. My quads hurt just watching your lunge! I will try these next week – I’m intrigued by the towel idea – but for now, my quads are on a lunge break.

    Tornado is fun as always… 🙂

  21. My friend Adam who is just off major knee surgery had to do lunges in rehab. When the therapist told him to do them, he gave the guy the stink-eye and proclaimed:

    I’m a trainer. I MAKE people do lunges, I don’t do them myself.

    After the therapist made him do his lunges – he called me and apologized for making me do about 100 throughout a 1 hour workout.

    At home, I’ve been known to lunge back and forth across my deck (40′) throughout the day. But why ruin a pleasant day in the sunshine with lunges?

  23. Two things I always like to add to the conversation when it comes to lunges are:

    A) They are more than an exercise, they are also a life-skill.
    B) Really, lunges are just a 1-legged squat. When put in that context, people tend to do with with greater focus and increased concentration.

    BTW: Blair Witch wasn’t so bad 🙂

  25. You have such a pretty kitchen. I love the idea of the sliding lunge.

    Come on, now. Be honest. Is there a blooper reel to this video where you slipped mid-lunge? 🙂 (I just KNOW that my attempts at a sliding lunge would wind up with me toppling over in a very ungraceful, unladylike fashion!)

  26. I <3 lunging. There must be something wrong with me. My goal last summer was to be able to do a football field from one end zone to the other and back. I barely made it, but felt so freaking awesome and couldn't walk right for days! I will try these today!

  29. You are such a great example to your daughter! I can totally envision you having an early morning workout show on Nickelodeon/Disney Channel! Wouldn’t that be awesome?! You AND the tornado! “Workin’ Out With The Mizfits”!!!!! Pitch… fun Seuss-style workout with read-aloud cooldown (you reading your children’s books, of course)!

    A total hit, right?! 😀

  32. It’s weird, I can hardly see the leg-sleeve in this video. For some reason I thought it was more prominent.

    My trainer made me do lunges one of our first sessions and I almost didn’t get back up from one. Now I can do more of them, but I don’t like them any better.

  37. See? I said I was working out not blogging about it 😉

    My vid? Not new
    The childs? From this morning

    Hence the lack o’tattooage 😉

  38. Nope can’t do it. Hate lunges – really worst exercise ever! Cute little Tornado though.

  41. Lunges. *shudder* It’s been a while.

    I’m okay with walking lunges, but with stationary lunges, I always feel like my form is off.

    Maybe I will try these…but probably not unless you come to my kitchen and MAKE me.

    Ugh. Lower body. Meh.

  43. Miz

    I seriously doubt that I could find my way up after doing that lung but I’ll give it a try.

    Little one is super cute. Just like mommy.

  45. I just came across your health and fitness blog. Your article about lunging and your videos included were especially interesting. I especially liked your comments about how to use the kitchen towel to aid in the lunge process. I am adding you to my favorites.
