I am no BARRE-bie

by

I am a regular size woman who found her fitness groove at the ballet barre. Before walking into my first class, I had the following thought process that perhaps you too can identify with: I am too FAT to take this class. I am going to suck at this because I don't have the right body shape: long, lean, ballerina body. When I was six years old, I quit ballet. Ooops I missed out on the ... Continue Reading

Domestic Violence Awareness month: Free Spirit.

by

Ive tweeted, facebooked & yammered here about the many welcoming & interesting people Ive met since our move.  Joshua Safran is a prime one example.  Ive invited him here today to chat about his memoir, Free Spirit, because I wanted you *all* to meet Joshua Safran, too.  His story is an important one and one rarely told from the male perspective.   Carla is my friend and ...

How to purchase and care for a yoga mat.

by

Once upon a time I was invited to speak at an event in NYC.  The event was great, but what eclipsed even that were the people I met.  People like Danielle. One word for you about Danielle:  TotalGirlCurshIBeggedHerToComeHereAndGuestPostLovenessment. Please to enjoy. 15 years ago, I took my first yoga class and borrowed a mat- it smelled like feet and I couldn’t stop thinking about the ... Continue Reading

It’s ok to be a night owl (guest post).

by

  What do you consider sleeping in? Are you one of those people who get up at 0'dark thirty to run or workout? Or are you a card carrying Night Owl? I'm a night owl. I've been one since I was a child. I remember still being awake in my bed most nights when my parents would check on me on their way to bed. I can't tell you how many nights of my life I've been up past ... Continue Reading

Protect Your Health, Save the Planet, Fatten Your Wallet (guest post)

by

Please to welcome Heat.  Quite frankly I can no longer recall where we met---I just know I learn something from her daily.  She's wise.  She's insightful.  She's green in a way I currently only aspire to be...   Often, when people think about "green" or "healthy" products, they also think "expensive." In some cases, it's true that "leveling up" is more expensive. Organic produce, most ... Continue Reading

The Clumsy Girl’s Guide to Barre (guest post).

by

Hey y'all! I'm Presley and I blog over at Run Pretty. I tend to ramble about all sorts of life and fitness nonsense, so it's pretty hard for me to sum the ol' blog up. Luckily for me, Carla is generously letting me share my thoughts on Barre workout classes today. Bless her for helping me find at least a little direction in a post for once. Fact: I am not a ballerina. Well, I ... Continue Reading

My one year crossfit affair (guest post).

by

I debated recently whether or not I wanted to post about my one year anniversary with Crossfit because I think my take on it is a little bit unique. But then it occurred to me that I should write about it because it is unique. My Crossfit anniversary was actually in July, so about a month ago. Prior to when I began in July of 2012 I had been circuit training and doing HIIT for about three ... Continue Reading

You Don’t Have to Be Hardcore to Do Crossfit

by

*Hi, I'm Ericka and I blog about running, fitness, Crossfit & more over at The Sweet Life! I'm excited to be guest blogging on MizFit today about one of my favorite things! Most of the time, when I tell people I do Crossfit (that's kind of a lot with me!), people respond with curiosity, surprise and actually -- a level of respect I never expected. I'm automatically labeled "hardcore" ... Continue Reading
