Wondering what a fitness internship is all about? MizzFIT Interns, Katia & Caroline, spill the sweaty beans!
Hi! We’re Katia and Caroline, but have also come to be known as “The Interns.” This winter, we were fortunate enough to be matched with Bianca Jade for a winter externship, a program of very short internships created by Cornell University’s Office of Career Resources. The goal of the program is to give current undergrads opportunities to explore different career fields and network with the university’s huge alumni population. Our time with Bianca at MizzFIT was particularly extraordinary because we’re both huge fitness, health, and fashion lovers! So what better way for us to spend a cold winter break than researching and collaborating with Bianca in a trendy startup office building where originality and entrepreneurism shoot off the walls! Want a peak into the glamorous lives of The Interns? Then keep on reading!
I interviewed Olympic Ski Racer Lindsey Vonn who couldn't have been sweeter or more sporty chic in person. (Yes, that's me--the short one--with her in the pic above.) She may be the apple of Tiger Wood's eye right now but based upon what she told me, she's in love with fitness fashion. Check out my interview with Lindsey Vonn and weigh in on whether you think her relationship with Tiger will make him a changed man.
*** Lindsey Vonn Talks Fitness Fashion ***
ME: Lindsey, when you're getting ready to train or hit the gym, how do you put your fit look together?
Lindsey Vonn: I'm really obsessed with color coordinating everything. So head to toe, it has to match with my bag...with my shoes...with everything. I love Under Armour's tank tops because they allow you to double up. I love neon colors.
ME: What do you feel the most comfortable wearing for your hardest workouts?
Lindsey Vonn: I generally wear short shorts to the gym because I feel...

Resolutions I've Failed
Oh man, I'm embarrassed to even start this list but here goes...
Get to bed earlier. Sleep 6-7 hours a night. (I don't think I ever got more than 4-5 in 2012)
Learn to forgive more. (This is hard esp when you've been really hurt! I tend to hold grudges.)
Eat healthier than ever. Use my new magic bullet. (Yeah, that thing never came out of the box.)
Make sure to find 20-30 minutes to workout on busy days when my normal intense workouts aren't an option. (...nope)
Squash my fears about not measuring up to the lifestyle my friends and family have (y'know, the...
Who said weight training gloves have to look like weight training gloves? Not BodyRock Sport because the fitness-fashion brand is now selling some of the edgiest fitness gloves ($50-$60) we've ever seen!
The benefits of wearing fit-gloves are great. They protect your hands from injury, bruising, chafing and drying out against rough surfaces in fitness environments. Gloves also shield your precious digits from bacteria easily spread through shared equipment. The gym is a fantastic place, just not one you want to take a microscope to. Our favorite BRS glove is The Robin. What's yours?

You don't have to live in NYC or London to enjoy a sparkly evening skyline. Just throw on some Lucas Hugh! This uber chic sportswear collection is meant to be worn both as street clothes and workout wear. The experimental prints and fabrics are unconventional to fitness making the collection a standout option for the gym. My favorite pieces are the full length tights with a high waistline. They suck your belly in and look cute as hell with an over-sized sweater and some knee-high boots.
