December 27, 2010 at 2:12 amYour tights are the BEST. I want! Love the stripey lungey bends!
Harriet says
December 27, 2010 at 4:24 amThose tights do rock 🙂
and those lungy things too.
Harriet says
December 27, 2010 at 4:27 amOh and I see the wine in the background!
Is that for after exercise? 🙂

December 27, 2010 at 5:04 amI’m not sure if you are being silly (?) but this is what I needed.
I am new to any kind of resistance training MizFit and had not thought I could just use soup cans.
Thank you from an old lady LOL

December 27, 2010 at 5:33 amThose ARE some rockin’ tights!
I still haven’t worked up to TEN of these Bulgarian split squat thingies, much less TWENTY reps (you go!). For now, I’m stuck with 3 sets of 8 each leg, but I’m still plugging away at them. Between the reluctant quads and my pitiful balance, this may be as good as it gets. I can live with that. 🙂
(Thanks for the lovely, lovely comment this morning. Verrry nice sentiment to wake up to! I could mirror it right back to YOU!)

December 27, 2010 at 7:08 amI LOVE STRIPEY TIGHTS!!!
And yeah. This week? It’s all about doing what you can. Routine? Nah. So random stolen exercises are good.
Lotsa playouts though!
Kimmie says
December 27, 2010 at 7:16 amI laughed when you said hiding from your guests, Miz.
I wish I’d had this on Saturday 🙂

Miz says
December 27, 2010 at 10:08 amthe fancypants clothing emporium known as TARGET 🙂 Same place as the tunic. And the wine.
Stacey says
December 27, 2010 at 10:07 amI love the tights and covet the legs in them as well.
Happy holidays Miz!
Shelley B says
December 27, 2010 at 10:43 amOoh,I’d forgotten about split squats, or as I called them, wobble squats. Looking good, Miz!

December 27, 2010 at 11:18 amYour tights are popular!! Love them too! I think Miz needs a line of tight-wear! 🙂 Love split squats & so great for balance too!
Julie @SavvyEats says
December 27, 2010 at 11:25 amLove this! I often try to do squats/lunges while I’m waiting for things to come to a boil, etc.
Kelly Happy Texan says

LOVE the idea of working out while putting the canned goods away or hiding from guests. Either way. And pour me a glass of wine, please. I see it back there. 🙂
Jenn (Gh) says
December 27, 2010 at 11:46 amYes. Those tights do rock and so do split squats. 🙂

December 27, 2010 at 2:11 pmI love me some stripey tights!! Someday I want a video tour of your sock drawer! I have a feeling that it will be kismet between your tootsies and mine;) Any news on those MizFit socks?!
And I love the kitchen exercises!
Gina says

Mahalo!!!!!!

Ryan @NoMoreBacon says
December 28, 2010 at 7:46 amI know I’m a day behind but I just did these along with the video. I went crazy and held a 12 pack. The split squats are the bane of my existence, but I know how good they are for me. Now, where’d that 12 pack go? (kidding!)
