OK.
Im not traveling.
I totally had the chance to git away but motherhood made that impossible. Le sigh. LE SIGH.
Many many of my Peeps, however, are jetting around & lamenting the busy days and lack of exercise opportunities.
Lament no’ mo my brothers and sisters in fitness.
I give you The Tornado’s Airport Waiting Area Workout Routine (A.W.A.W.R.).
(Filmed on the proverbial down-low so as not to attract airport security…)
Please to enjoy:

November 4, 2010 at 4:28 amHILARIOUS.
I’m heading to Atlanta today.
Dare me to do it??
Helen says
November 4, 2010 at 4:29 amI love how you exercise and fit your daughter into your routines and not exclude her.
I know you’re being silly here but you know what I mean.
Next time ask security to join in!!
Meredith says
November 4, 2010 at 4:32 amOMG those lunges in the first video are classic.
I love you and your girl.
Toni says
November 4, 2010 at 4:48 amThis is my new fave over the grocery store workout, Miz.
Erica says
November 4, 2010 at 4:51 amhahahhahaha- this is almost as good as your supermarket workout video 🙂 Loving the wheel barrel action. Too cute
Lea says
November 4, 2010 at 4:57 amWhere are the tutus? 🙂
You must do a workout video for kids, Carla.
Fun stuff on the go!!
Heather @ Not a DIY Life says
November 4, 2010 at 5:00 amLove it! And I thought of you when I was grocery shopping yesterday. I totally did a few bicep curls with the gallon of milk!!
Teresa says
November 4, 2010 at 5:01 amWhat is the grocery video?
dragonmamma says
November 4, 2010 at 5:53 amAmazed you didn’t have security on your case. Looks like terrorist activity to me.
anne h says
November 4, 2010 at 5:56 amHow fun is that – I’ll have to try this one!
It’s sure to get me kicked out, eh?
🙂
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman says
November 4, 2010 at 6:11 amSo cute. At least you gave fellow travelers something else to watch during the boring wait for the flight!
Joanna Sutter says
November 4, 2010 at 6:14 amI bet you two make good people watching in air ports. 😉 I do a lot of stair running when I have time to kill in airports…but rarely wheel barrels.
Lance says
November 4, 2010 at 9:55 amWe MUST meet at the airport sometime!!
You can be the wheel barrel, I’ll be the pusher…
Amber says
November 4, 2010 at 6:15 amYou read my mind Mizzy!
We are heading to Disney this weekend 😉
I will do and film!!
Carrie says
November 4, 2010 at 6:34 amCarla, this is the best. I am forwarding it to Rich. He says try to workout wherever you can. You set such a good example. LOVE it!
courtney says
November 4, 2010 at 6:45 amOh! This makes me so happy. I love the lunges! It’s so awesome that Tornado gets to join in the fun wherever you go! Yay!
Jody - Fit at 52 says
November 4, 2010 at 6:50 amThere is always a way! Who cares what others think & maybe some will join in!!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Susan EB Schwartz says
November 4, 2010 at 7:07 amhysterical but also inspiring.
Greta says
November 4, 2010 at 7:31 amThat is too cute!!! You’re a freaking animal. I want to be able to do lunges like that! So awesome that your daughter is encouraged to move with you!! She seems like she’s having a blast!!
Irene says
November 4, 2010 at 7:35 amWe are driving down 21 hours to Orlando in 4 weeks. I plan on doing a short workout during every stop. I promise to film it too.
You and the tornado are so incredible.
Ren Man says
November 4, 2010 at 7:48 amWhat is even more hysterical is the crazy stripper-looking woman wearing leopard-print everything and a full face of makeup at 8:00am who was sleeping on the floor on the other side of those chairs!
Eliza says
November 4, 2010 at 7:56 amChair pushups? Why did I never think of that!!!
Eliza says
November 4, 2010 at 7:57 amOh and hope you brought Purell for after.
Laurie says
November 4, 2010 at 7:59 ambrilliant idea
Natalia says

Pure2Raw twins says
November 4, 2010 at 8:21 amThank you thank you for letting me know about these videos! Love them! I will try some of those exercises out during my travel 😉 Thanks again! You are the best!
Sarah says
November 4, 2010 at 8:25 amReading this at airport on my way to foodbuzz!!
Patrick says
November 4, 2010 at 8:36 amA.W.A.W.R…. sounds like the sound I make when trying to bust out that last push up. Or maybe that is the sound you hear of me jogging on my blogs video today.
A.W.A.W.R.!!!!
Yum Yucky says
November 4, 2010 at 8:37 amExcuse me, but I think Tornado’s form is slightly better than yours. 😛
Miz says
November 4, 2010 at 8:50 amindeed. The student hath surpassed the teacher.
debby says
November 4, 2010 at 8:57 amThere’s just no excuse not to exercise, is there!
Oh, the wheelbarrow–I used to love doing that as a kid. You’re a good mommy, Miz.
Oh, and a new Two Fit Chicks–I’ve been waiting for a new episode!
messymimi says
November 4, 2010 at 9:09 amIf you don’t mind what a bunch of strangers think (and usually I don’t, I won’t be seeing these people ever again), you can exercise almost anywhere, in some fashion.
Lance says
November 4, 2010 at 9:56 amLove it Miz!! Your approach to fitness just ROCKS!!
Tom says
November 4, 2010 at 10:09 amOld school WHEELBARROWS!!
Katie says
November 4, 2010 at 10:39 amThis post gave me the biggest best laugh ever!! My favorite is when Tornado is doing dips, but she’s too little!! AHhhhahaaaahahahaaah1!!!!
charlotte says
November 4, 2010 at 10:48 amWheelbarrows in an airport! Brilliant! Now if only I could find someone to hold my feet next time i have a layover…
Gina Fit by 41 Maybe 42 says
November 4, 2010 at 4:10 pmToo funny… I can just picture walking up to a complete stranger…
Gina Fit by 41 Maybe 42 says
November 4, 2010 at 4:12 pmExcellent idea — great way to get the blood circulating during all of the waiting around (and keep the mood up).
Michele @ Healthy Cultivations says
November 4, 2010 at 8:12 pmEcho everyone else that said this is simply epic, classic, etc. I’m so entertained!!!
Dynamics says
November 5, 2010 at 9:51 amThat sure brings back memories of my dad wheeling me down the street. HA!
Colleen Casey says
November 5, 2010 at 10:16 amNow THAT’s what I call dedication! You go girl!
paula says
November 5, 2010 at 11:02 amawww, love how you include the little one… very cute. Gosh, there’s no way I can lift my body weight like that. Guess practice makes perfect. I’ll give it a shot. Not at the airport but using my kitchen chair.
Shelley B says
November 9, 2010 at 10:36 amHow fun! I only exercised on my recent airport trip by walking between stores, shopping. Might have been better off doing some lunges and tricep dips, lol!
RunEatRepeat says
January 12, 2012 at 1:27 pmThis is totally something I would do. And also something my husband would give me crap for…
