Overtraining: LESS can be MORE.
I’m a newbie at the mizfit blog, but I must say i’m definitely a fan. I’m a 21 yr old female (5'4 and around 140lbs). I’m not fat specially since I have a larger bone structure/muscle.

I’m trying to reduce fat and I can’t seem to do that ... Continue Reading

Viewer Mail: So many diets. Which to choose?
I love your site and find you quite encouraging for the active life. I too love to workout, so my question for you is in relation to the energy to keep that active life going. Unfortunately, I am prone to reading nutrition articles and then thinking "that is for me"! Years ago, as a college athlete, I went all Atkins. While I was really trim I did not have energy. Most people around me ... Continue Reading

Playground Workout (video post).
I cant lie to you, People, for some reason the word workout rings mildly depressing to this MizFit's ears. If Im lifting weights, doing yoga , running outside etc. & doing something I love I cant wrap my brain around using the word *work* anywhere in there. If Im forcing my ass climbing on my stationary bike to do cardio for heart health then I surely dont want a reminder that it is, ... Continue Reading
