Fashion/Gift

Slip into sneaks that take stress off your knees and heels.

INDOORS OR OUTSIDE, COMFORT IS KEY

Fashion is always on my mind but once I'm on a bike, I want to find my zone and not worry or feel bothered by what I'm wearing. Quality bike apparel will keep your mind on your workout and performance. If you're at a loss for bike-fitness this Spring, consider the options below:

Rent a bike cruiser for a day with a friend (or buy one)

Saddle up at a spin studio like Flywheel Sports

SPINNING MY WHEELS AGAIN!

So I'm back in the spin studio firming up my thighs for summer...and all the cute shorts I plan to wear. To get us motivated (many of you have been requesting bike fashion), I styled the fit-look above with my favorite Spring trend--you guessed it---animal print! What I love about this outfit is that it's a mix of leopard prints at different volumes. Notice how the adidas by Stella McCartney Bike Jersey Tee and Padded Knee Shorts have side paneling with leopard-print jacquard. It adds nice...

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH KAT DELUNA & CUERPASO

If you know who Kat DeLuna is then you know she's a Dominican born pop star who's climbing the music charts. Her dance and hip-hop tracks make for killer workout music and feature artists like Akon. When she's not singing her heart out, she's in the gym rocking hot fitness couture and I have proof! Check out the video above where Kat DeLuna gets Styled Up 2 Shape Up for Univision's Despierta America show by me and Tadeo from the Cuerpaso workout.

YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A CELEB TO GET KAT'S LOOK

Here's what she wore, why it rocks and where you can get it:

Femme Fitale Fitness Zebra Print Gloves ($19.99) for weight training, floor work, spinning and outdoor cycling

Her own Nike training jacket. Nike's Windrunner Jacket ($63.97) in white/cherry/sapphire is a close match.

An MPG Sport bra. The one Kat's wearing in the video is no longer available. Check out newer styles Eris (shown...

I WAS ON THE TODAY SHOW & SCORED WITH KIM CATTRALL

It's been over a week since my debut on the Today Show and I still need someone to pinch me. What an incredible experience--from the minute we entered wardrobe leading up to the live segment! I even got my hair did and make-up done by the Today Show beauty team. Okay, I know my face looks shiny in the vid but I think that's the work of my 3-day Elixir Juice Cleanse which I'll write about soon. Going into NBC Studios, I knew the fitness fashion was going to rock but seeing it all come together behind the scenes with guest Kim Cattrall fawning over my models, was a major high point for me. That's why I'm going to re-live it by telling you more about each of the 4 looks including the outfit I wore. Be sure to enter the BEST GIVEAWAY IN MIZZFIT HISTORY at the end of this post.

FIRST, LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT FITNESS TRENDS FOR SPRING

I'm seeing an EDGY trend and a FLIRTY trend happening in all kinds...

SETBACKS HAPPEN. ALL THE MORE REASON FOR A COMEBACK!

Here’s a little-known law of the universe: even the most well-intentioned and disciplined runner is bound to hit an obstacle on the road to her running goals. Obstacles come in all shapes and sizes—an injury, boredom, a sudden move or change in your routine, or even that pesky little problem I like to call “winter.” Setbacks happen to the best of us, so don’t get down about them—use them as opportunities to change up your game! Even an injury can be a chance to bounce back stronger and more focused than before. 

And of course, everyone knows the best way to jumpstart your motivation is a new addition to your workout wardrobe! To help bust me out of the winter treadmill blues, I injected some fresh new fashion into my routine in the form of new Nike LIVESTRONG Air Max+ shoes and Soffe Animal Print Run Shorts. Then I tested them out on a new kind...

I get on my mom's case about exercise all the time. We work out together whenever I'm in town visiting and take the puggles out for long walks. But when I'm not in town her workout routine falls off. My mom's health is really important to me so I like to inspire her for fitness by drawing from the things she loves. Mama MizzFIT whose real name is Maria, loves fashion and pop culture. These days all she can talk about is Kim Kardashian. That's how I got the idea to make Kim our fitness muse and style my mom with her look.

MY MOM LOVES KIM KARDASHIAN...DON'T WE ALL?

Kim Kardashian is more than a hot topic. She's a celebrity that women all over the world are intrigued by and watch for fashion and beauty cues. How could we not? She's stunning and doesn't hide the fact that she loves getting all dolled up. Kim K lives a glam life and we love her for it. So I'm not surprised my mom is a fan. I just didn't realize to what degree until she called at 10pm one...
