Instagram much? Let's connect there!

Follow me at @MizzFIT_Bianca 'cause I'm curious by nature and want to see what kind of pics you take.

Hopefully a lot of them involve sweat, fitness fashion and healthy eating. Mine do (hint hint). I guess that's obvious. But I like to get silly too...and show you what makes me laugh and smile. I'm new to Instagram and really starting to become obsessed. Is this normal?

FOLLOW ME so that I can see how hard you work and what you wear to find your zone. Show me what inspires YOU!

And just for fun, what's your FAVORITE FILTER?

Tell in me in the comments section below. I've had many conversations about this and can't decide whether mine is Early Bird or Lo-Fi.  I happen to think that people REALLY overuse Toaster! What do you think?

See you on Instagram, my friends!

Normal or Not?

Before I met them, I'd never guess that Karena and Katrina from Tone It Up would be anything close to normal. For crying out loud (as my Grandma would say), they're beach babes! They probably walk down the street with an entourage of hecklers and panty-shot prone photographers. Could these girls, featured in countless magazines and known online globally as the Tone It Up Girls, really be normal?

That's what I wanted to find out because word on the fitness scene was that Bravo had been scouting them for a show. Luckily, I got to meet and hang with Karena and Katrina over the summer and find out more about their journey, including how they found each other and where they're going next. I interviewed them on the red carpet at Pedal On The Pier in Santa Monica...

...and then spent a weekend with them as part of Oakley Women's Perform Beautifully experience in Napa Valley, California.

Being in the fitness world (which can be as caddy and...

Burnin' calories on TV and all I did was stand there.

Morning show host, Virginia Kerr is my HERO! She made my latest fitness fashion segment on the Great Day St. Louis show a breeze. They say laughter burns calories. I must've burned a couple hundred just standing there when she put on the Halo Sport headband. I cherish women like Virginia who get so excited about fitness trends they just can't wait to get their hands on it...or heads into it!

Let's dive deeper into the fitness gems you watched in the video (for more info and irresistible discounts). I know you can't tell from the pic below, but I was so excited to the point of shaking to present these on TV to you! That's what you call a true fitness junkie.

Chicago had no idea what hit 'em when I showed up with Lady Foot Locker and Team Fashionably Fit.

Everything was calm and then BAM!

We had the people of Chicago sweatin' in style. It was fantastic! Everyone who showed up to North Riverside Mall for Lady Foot Locker's new store look launch, was in it to win it. And so was my Fashionably Fit Team (a.ka. my posse). Just imagine the A-Team rocking killer sportswear and that's pretty much us.

We put on quite a show, busting out a fitness-fashion panel, a high energy workout, a fashion show (all with yours truly) and even a celebrity appearance by Adrienne Bailon from the show Empire Girls.

It was intense commanding the attention of everyone at the mall, but it was so much fun and rewarding getting all those people to work out and care about wearing functional activewear. We even got Adrienne to work out!

Of course, I made sure everyone got their stretch on.

One of the best parts...

I'm better on some social media platforms than others. Like right now, I'm rockin' Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. But I've sworn a solemn oath to make more time for Pinterest. So help me out by becoming a follower and I'll follow you back! Let's be pin-pals.

     ** This is where I live on Pinterest **

Please check out my boards and leave a comment on the pins you like.

Here's why I don't pin things (tails, etc) on donkeys:

BECAUSE I HEART DONKEYS! Look at this face...

Donkeys are the sweetest animals. Some of you might already know this but I'm a huge animal lover and animal rights person. What significance does this bear on Pinterest? Well, I'm a softy for cute animal boards. And I really like puggles (I have 2; Shory & Leroy). So, if you've got animal boards for me to babytalk to, by all means, let me know!

Hopefully you'll enjoy my fitness fashion boards on Pinterest. Expect to see lots of fitness couture, transitional...

I can't believe NY Fashion Week is here already!

Should I start crying because it means summer's over or because I can't afford any of the clothes on the runway? I'll just cry out of pure happiness because honestly NY Fashion Week is super fun and it's not about how much you paid for or where you buy your clothes. It's about how you ROCK THEM. So here's a look at how I rock Fashion Week...

How I rolled in style for NY Fashion Week

I started off my day with a fitness fashion shoot in the West Village. I wanted to show MizzFIT readers and followers how you can push the limits of fitness fashion. Yes, I dress this way to rollerskate and yes, my West Village neighborhood in downtown Manhattan is used to it. I like to think that I inspire them and I do enjoy a giggle here and there from...
