by

  If you listened closely on Saturday night you mightcould have heard a loud SCREAM of YEEEEEE HAW!!! From the moment we moved to Oakland I commenced a count down to March 10th when we'd spring forward and the days would get longer. I didnt rock the darker nights in the ATX, but when it was dark nights & still flip-flop warm outside I rocked them harder.  Better.  ... Continue Reading

by

I’m so honored to be sharing with you my passion and heart for yoga. I had the delightful pleasure of meeting MizFit on the yoga mat at our yoga photobooth at the Fitbloggin Conference several months back. If you’ve never done yoga, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Normally, you have to show up on the mat a few several classes, get into downward dog a few dozen times, and relax ...

PLAYout: scooter as exercise.

by

I know you may be tired of my saying this---Ren Man sure is---but it's freakin cold here. I anticipated "MizFit is cold" weather. I know my FAVE temp is around 87 & sunny, I stalked the weather before we moved and saw it was consistently in the 50s. Cool but doable. And then I learned it's 50s in the same way my beloved Pittsburgh is in the 50s: 30s in in the morning, damp, windy, ... Continue Reading

The secret to YOUR 2013 success.

by

Welcome to January. The month where the universe attempts to exploit our insecurities by promising it holds the (expensive) key to a healthier, happier and thinner us. Most proffer a quick-fix solution to goal achievement which, while not entirely ethical, actually makes some sense. Who wouldn’t, if given the choice between fast and easy or arduous and sweaty, pick the former? (thats not ... Continue Reading

I feel as though Ive had ample time to learn of the change, process the change, rant and ramble on all social media channels and in real life about the change and EMBRACE THE CHANGE. Im as ready as I ... Continue Reading

WORLD HOOP DAY.

by

It most likely comes as no surprise I love me some hula hoop. It's PLAY. It's childish. It's exercise without the *work* part of working out. You cant hoop incorrectly/wrong if youre laughing and enjoying. I dont talk much about my hoop-LOVE here because Im definitely no role-model/expert o'the hoop. Even after a few years, Im still an awkward hooper (translation: Ive ... Continue Reading
