Titan Tea, an amazing new tea drink, has asked me to share my favorite "healthy place" as part of their Healthy Place Contest, which you've got to enter! All you have to do is share a healthy spot you love to win a 1-year supply of Titan Tea! A huge score considering Titan Tea is my latest healthy indulgence (because it's electrolyte enhanced tea for active people and because the rasberry flavor rocks). Most of you know me as fitness lover and would probably guess that my go-to healthy place is in a workout class, right? Nope...although I do love myself a sweaty workout. My healthy place of choice is actually on my cruiser bike, riding through the streets of New York City. And what do ya know, I don't even wear workout clothes to ride! When I'm on my cruiser, I totally plug into the city and how it moves. You have to be really careful riding a bike in NYC because traffic and people getting out of parked cars are your worst enemy. Being alert and watching the city...

Seems like every clothing brand is turning to fitness these days. I likeeeey! I knew it would happen. I predicted it 5 years ago when I started Mizzfit.com. As I watch big names bud fitness collections to test their shoppers and see what sticks, it's pretty obvious to me who's got the magic and who doesn't. The "magic" isn't necessarily about the most advanced technology in quick-dry fabrics and high performance yarn. It's about creating pieces with personality that speak to fitness lovers who have a particular style as well as sport specific needs. Active wear with magic makes you wanna move. Capezio is known to many as a dance shop and brand that's been around forever. Need ballet slippers? It's where you go. They've got everything you need for classic and instructional dance. And now they have a studio fitness collection! The magic is in all the shapes, colors and movement. You can see the dancer-style inspiration in each piece. They're pretty and...

I realize that not all of you can afford expensive active wear. Some of the trends I write about are outside your budget for fitness gear, and I completely respect that. Listen…there are things I wouldn’t spend over $50 on either! Money is an issue. I understand this. If I could afford to shop at Whole Foods every week—poppin’ bubbly and makin’ it rain—I would. But my wallet is just not having it…and I don’t actually hang with rappers. We make concessions, right? Then again sometimes you don’t have to compromise anything if you know where to look! I’ve got a stylish solution for your fitness needs and it just so happens you can find it at Target®.  I’ve had Target-itus since I was a kid, way back when I used to get stuffed into the retractable child-seat of their shopping carts. That spot is now reserved for my purse, lol! You can save yourself more than a couple of bucks on fitness gear and look just as good as all your friends shopping at...

These pics from the last #NBGNO event say everything. All I'm gonna write, since as you can see, my mouth is kind of sealed is THERE'S ONE MORE PARTY LEFT THIS SUMMER AND I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU THERE! On June 24th, we stretched together... We ran and sprinted along the Hudson River... We did bootcamp style drills and worked our derrières. We documented our adventure through NYC streets... We turned pedestrian heads at the size of our herd... Then we took things in-store with Holly Perkins and started a "band". Kind of... Followed by catering by Sweet Green (the BEST salads in NYC), and eventually drinks and dance. And, of course, some air-time... A party's not a party (worth bragging about) without a Step 'n Repeat... And some girls gone wildly fit and empowered! It was a perfect Girls' Night Out. See for yourself; more event pics HERE! Darn, I wasn't gonna say anythng. But I guess when it comes to...

Priya Lawrence has 2 full-time jobs. She's a NY state registered Dietitian Nutritionist and a loving mother to Raina, 4, and Trevor, 1. Can you imagine having 2 jobs that require all your attention, passion and love? It seems nearly impossible to me...but Priya does it...and manages to show up on time, twice a week, to the bootcamp class where I met her. She's an outstandingly balanced health professional but says her workout never truly ends. Priya is constantly on the move for clients, and with her kids. I got a few snapshots of her juggling act as I FOLLOWED her on a routine neighborhood walk with Raina and Trevor through Madison Square Park. "I run a growing nutrition private practice, Tried and True Nutrition, Inc. with my business partner, Pam. We focus on empowering our clients to make healthy food and lifestyle choices thru one-on-one sessions, corporate wellness programs and group education." "As anyone with kids knows, my day starts early in the...

The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss & Body Confidence is literally at your fingertips. First, in the form of a compelling book by tapping expert Jessica Ortner. Second, by way of your very own hands. Confused? It's OK, I was too, at first :) I made a video for you to watch about the growing tapping trend and its link to weight loss because it's hard to imagine let alone believe in without some kind of visual. Jessica Ortner kindly shared her time with me to answer all my burning questions. Watch my video and leave a comment at the end of this post to win a copy of Jessica's book and begin your own transformation. It's fascinating to me that you can give yourself therapy with your very own hands! Simply by tapping on the karate chop point followed by the other acupressure points on your upper body, you stimulate the release of toxins and decrease cortisol levels. If you're unfamiliar with cortisol, it's a stress hormone that leads to weight gain and has a...
