Get Fit TOGETHER!

by

This below is the first in a series of featured posts by Les Mills brand.  As always, opinions are my own.   In 15 days I turn 44.  It took me thirty of those years to learn no woman is an island. Motherhood, writing, weight-loss, weight-loss maintaining, FITNESS---- it all requires the proverbial village. Reason #47 I love Les Mills as their science behind GETTING FIT TOGETHER ...

Sidewalk yoga.

by

OAKtown surprises.   Thanks to all of *you* Im walking more. I dont live where I can walk to the store---but Ive CHOSEN to live as though I can walk to the store! I snag my freak flag don my backpack and I walk.  And WALK. I fill the pack as full as I can and I trek home. Not only have I gotten more steps----Ive learned so much more about my 'hood than I had driving, ... Continue Reading

How do you run with a dog?

by

As we've previously established I'm not really a runner. Sure if you wanna play a game of BADMINTON or KICKBALL Im your woman----but regular, traditional, non-tutu'ed running? Not so much for me. Yes if you wanna hold my hand & pull me along there's a *chance* Ill follow and run behind you. Traditional running was not so much for me-----until it was. Recent life changes ... Continue Reading

CHI RUNNING

by

Please to welcome MARCIA. After my experience with MOVING MEDITATION I grew curious about Chi Running.  What is it? Would I like it? How would I ever know? The answer is *always* found in our tribe....     I didn’t intentionally become a ChiRunner. I just ran. I heard things like “She runs on her toes” often enough to think something was ‘wrong’ with my stride. So I ... Continue Reading

MIZ on a pole.

by

  I know.  The title was kinda mean. It actually didnt occur to me what you mightcould surmise this post was about until it was written, edited and I *stopped* to reread the title and then grabbed a sharpie and some construction paper. Alas it's not about SEXXXY MizFit time.  (although Id like to explore that. OAKLAND? lets do a class!) It's about PLAYouts. It's about ... Continue Reading

OM yoga teacher training!

by

The universe whispers us messages and, when we dont listen, they get louder till we do. Ive googled searched high and low and cannot find who said the quote above. It isnt original to me (was it OPRAH?!)---but I *am* living it. Allow me to explain. The Tornado did not earn her nickname because she was docile & mellow. In fact, at night when she wouldnt slumber, Id often watch ... Continue Reading

Breath walking: misfit style.

by

Hello my name is MizFit (hi mizfit!) and Im a fast walker. It's not so much if we're ambling together but alone I tend to walk purposefully---with a destination in mind. A destination and, typically, said destination has a time associated with it. I stride purposefully, quickly, and exceedingly mindlessly. As a result, my recent trip to NYC was a tremendous gift.  I had meetings ... Continue Reading

Why I exercise intuitively.

by

  I became an intuitive eater long before I tapped into the notion of intuitive exercise. For some reason I was able to trust my body's "knowing" with regards to food yet was slow on the proverbial uptake with heeding its messaging about workouts. I created a workout plan. I followed said plain. Period. I do think some of missing the intuitive exercise message happened because of ... Continue Reading

PLAYout at the playground: pull-ups.

by

The other morning a mom at the Tornado's school remarked how fit I look.   She then continued on to say: You must workout all the time. (Aside: You'd be proud.  I spared her my whole CONSISTENCY rant *and* yammers about how LIFE IS MY SPORT.  Ive noticed people's eyes tend to glaze over so Im reigning it in these days.  Go me!) In the moment where I paused & considered  how to respond ... Continue Reading

Miz meets the Street Strider Summit 8r (video).

by

  Before we get started lets pause for a moment to bitch about address how busy we are. Deadlines, blogging, work, family, friends, LIFE yada yada DONE. Now that THAT'S out of the way---Id love to borrow one minute and fifty nine seconds of your day. Close to two minutes you'll never get back and yet less than two minutes to experience the Miz Becomes Phil Dunphy of the AMAZING ... Continue Reading
