fitness fashion

What gets you to the gym on days you don't feel like going? For me, it's ALWAYS been fitness fashion. I love clothes, shoes, accessories, and the feeling of being well put together--yes, even for the gym! If you love fashion, I think it's crucial to inject it into everything you do, especially if it helps you complete a task with more OOMPH. And God knows, fitness requires OOMPH! Here's a way to get some... Join my #StyleUp Challenge on the new BurnThis app!!! My #StyleUp Challenge on the recently re-designed BurnThis app (which is totally free to download RIGHT HERE on iTunes) is officially LIVE! The challenge is quite simple and the prize is quite big. I'm asking everyone to snap a pic of their favorite outfit, fit look, accessory, or fitness fashion product. The only catch is that it has to be something that motivates you to sweat (i.e. not a glazed donut). Tag it with #StyleUp and you're entered to win my latest Quarterly Box with over $100 of fitness goodies...

Just like there's an app for your every need, there's a box, too! My Style Up 2 Shape Up box with Quarterly Co. has been in the fast lane since it's inception, and my has it grown! The last box, themed "Endurance + Holiday Mastery" completely SOLD OUT! You can watch my unboxing video about it above. I drop hints midway through about #MIZ06...but they're just spoilers....'cause I have to keep you guessing a little :)  Watch me unbox my Holiday Quarterly Box here! I must say, I survived the holidaze without much downward spiraling on account of food, drink and pure laziness. I went to lots of yoga and Shred415 classes in my hometown. I even ran outside! The "Endurance + Holiday Mastery" box really helped me to stay focused. I design these boxes for myself, too (as much as I love all of you!). My Yoo Tracker, which I clipped to my purse and gym bag, was the "Big Brother" looming over my every choice. So I took the stairs more, hailed less cabs and grunted out...

There’s no turning down the lights on Carrie Underwood’s bright stardom because she just beat Beyonce to the punch of launching her own fitness line. The trend in activewear these days seems to be famous musicians starting their own fit collection. Makes perfect sense to me! I can only imagine how much these super stars have to workout to look so incredible, and a true diva likes to do things her own way. On Wednesday, December 10th 2014 in New York City, I listened to Carrie Underwood talk about what inspired her to launch her CALIA by Carrie Underwood collection with DICK’S Sporting Goods where it will be exclusively available for purchase starting March 2015.  She had needs—just like all women do—and she felt like many brands of fitness clothing weren’t being designed with the feminine fit and accents that women want to see when they look in the mirror. The collection is soft, feminine and versatile. The boldest print is a dark wild...

As a Mizzfit.com reader, you already know that the activewear market is booming. And all the competition amongst retailers means that companies have to innovative to thrive.  Translation? Today’s active gear is more stylish and inventive than ever before. These picks represent just how today’s companies are stepping up their games and creating one-of-a-kind items every fit gal will fall in love with. Lululemon’s Patience Tank Lululemon is a brand that many fit fashionistas love. The company is known for its high-quality and ultra-flattering clothing that’s beautiful. So it should come as no surprise that this tank dazzles. I loved how lululemon combined two other styles—the elegant back of the Free To Be bra with the deep V of the Deep Breath tank—to come up with the Patience Tank. The straps hold it in place while you move and the V-cut gives this top an extra sexy touch. The back of the tank is made out of mesh so it breathes well. It’s also...

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...
