Edited to say: please make a moment to read comment #3. We now return you to your regularly scheduled viewer mail... Miz, I recently started going to the gym and, alas, I have only made one friend. She’s always there for me, tells me where I have been and lets me know where I am going. She is a treadmill. I seem to be a snob to the other pieces of workout equipment. My dilemma is I ...

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’ve always exercised & currently 3-5 times a wk 2 hrs a time (1 hr cardio/1 hr lifting). I only do dumbells but I’m not afraid of the weights. I’m trying to reduce fat and I can’t seem to do that ... Continue Reading
Jyze: wind up fit! (part two…)
Subtitle: Please, if you have not yet, take a moment and ready the first Jyze post. The Tuesday Testdrive which never transpired. Following that post, the inventor of Jyze was kind enough to drop by & attempt (once again) to help me in my failure to Jyze. Hi MizFit Let me assure you, you are not alone! For some people (about 10-20% of humans), Jyze can be hard to use the first time. ... Continue Reading
Tuesday facetime:your questions (video post).
Ok Miz, I need your help!! I love to run and I teach kickboxing but for some reason I hate doing weights. Now that summer is around the corner, and always I really want to tone up my arms and tummy. What would you recommend I do on a weekly basis to hit those areas? httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtDdI4pjbUc Tricep exercise I mention. Monkey bar pullups I mention. Basic bicep ...

Woman Challenge.
Subtitle: Can you believe it has been a year already?! Time flies. Ok, People, it's time again. This year's WOMAN CHALLENGE starts on Sunday (Mother's Day for those of us in the USA) & I'm telling asking you to join me in participating. (You know I must love the idea as Im many, many things but a "joiner" is not one of them.) Beyond the fact I know I can always use some additional ... Continue Reading
BOSU Ball workout.
Have you ever tried the Bosu ball for a workout? I was wondering what kind of cardio I could achieve from this. Thanks! As Ive mentioned before I like to use emails (or questions left in the comments) that will apply to more than one person. Questions that many of us probably have even if only a few people take the time to send them in. Surprisingly (to me anyway) a bunch of you wondered ... Continue Reading
Sets & Repetions: concepts defined (video post).
The first time I ran this video I'd just received a number of emails asking what I meant when I used the terms SETS and REPS (repetitions) when talking about weight training. Ive recently received a flurry of the same questions. Please to enjoy (& giggle at my stammering toward the end). httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aJgt9O2CDM Does that clarify for you? Still stuck with ... Continue Reading
FIRM WAVE & Crosstraining.
We've discussed ad nauseum how Miz is in desperate need of the crosstrainage. I've surpassed being in a workout rut, People. The rut Ive dug for myself is so deep Ive simply plopped down roots and deemed it my new home. And, for the most part, I'm pretty ok with that. I work, I MizFit, I BabyMama, & (I hope) roll as a pretty decent wife/daughter/sister/friend on top of it ... Continue Reading
Monday Facetime: Back plank. (video post)
Yes, People, I know youve seen a lot of my mug up in herre lately. A full week of videos now capped off with a Monday facetime. But this video is different. It comes, if you will, from a prideful place. A place where MizFit is totally sticking to her vow to mix it up & bust outta that plateau precisely as we discussed last week. Please to insert loud shouts & cheers (and ... Continue Reading
How much MizFit & Kelly exercise per day. (video post)
Today's simultaneously answered Twitter question is: Id love to know how much you & Kelly workout per day. Kelly's thoughts: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46OdSb3q9mo MizFit's Musings: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQJ8P3YsUJk My word? Consistent. What word would *you* choose to describe the amount of time you spend working out each day? What are your feelings about ... Continue Reading
