MizFit on TV talkin’ about PLAYouts.
Wed, Nov 10, 2010
While I wasn’t too into the whole Austin’s Fittest Moms photo-shoot idea—-I am really appreciating the opportunity to share with other moms how important it is to GET OUT AND PLAY with our children.
Sure normal person traditional exercise is has its place, Ive just found the afternoons I spend with the Tornado being SILLYactive are some of our best times together.

LOVE the video.
The Tornado and her jumping jacks is priceless.
SO CUTE and really true when you say that you did not want fitness to be something which took you away from your daughter.
You are so wise.
I hope I am like you when I am a mother, Carla.
Love, love, love.
Love, love, LOVE!
Awesome – love it!
Yay!! Love the video
I think the most wonderful benefit of my daily exercise plan, is that my girls see it and want to join me!! My oldest may be a runner and I never knew it. She begged and begged for me to take her running the other day, so I did, along with a friend’s son and my other daughter. We set out at a 10 minute/mile pace (which I’m happy with!) which the littler ones could keep up with and my 9 year olds says, “I thought we were going to go faster than this”. Hmmmm. Maybe I need to ride my bike along side her 
This is so cool! Love it!
Very cool!
Im SO proud of you, Miz.
I pretend I really know you
That’s awesome! And teaching the tornado such good habits!
How fun to see both of you in the clip, doing it together. It looked like the Tornado was enjoying herself, too. Wow, what good habits AND good memories this is building for her.

I love it! My confession – I was not an exerciser yet when my boys were young. Sigh.
YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! EMMA ROCKS THE HOWZZZZ!
GO TORNADO! So cute!
I know how passionate you are about this- very cool that you got the opportunity to share it with other mamas out there!
So cute. I love the little pink track suit!
Very cute Miz.
And this spoke to me. My marathon training takes me away from the twins. They SIT while I exercise.
Food for thought for sure.
Excellent! I love seeing her work out with you, she does such a good job!
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to be like you when I grow up!
You do it right & yes Carla, time will fly by & before you know it, they are grown so you are doing it right!
Oh the good things you are teaching her. She is going to really thank you when she grows up.
This is so awesome!
*high five*

Loved the news clip! p.s. you were the best Mom on it hands down!
I love this piece! And I love that you two have PLAYouts – you are such a great role model.
I love your love for motherhood.
Love love love love it!
Love your point about fitness not taking you away from her. You’re such a great momma and role model to the Tornado.
That was so cool! I loved seeing your daughter do the workout. I need to start doing that with my kids. I’m so excited that we are buying a big boxing bag for Xmas. I can’t wait to teach them on that. I wonder if I’ll be raising some Irish scappers. LOL
Awesome! My daughter, “the hurricane” as my nephew and I refer to her as, loves to workout with her mom as well. She loves it!
Do they make that pink track suit in grown up mom sizes? Please?
Yesssss! Busy moms can be healthy and fit! That’s what I’m discovering as I navigate this same challenge. Fitness is a family event for us and I love discovering ways to make our workouts…er…”playouts” fun and effective for all of us, despite our ages ranging from 2 to 37. Keep up the great work!
That clip gave me the sniffles…so cool.
nice
Very deserving! And dang, Emma has great form with her crunches!
I was hanging out with some of my friends kids the other night and I decided I can’t wait to have toddlers so I can get out and run around and go crazy with them!! There’s a lot of sprinting involved! Tabata’s got nothing on having kids!
great its the nice idea for loose wait.great.
Such a happier picture than the image of a bunch of kids sitting slack-jawed in front of the television, or playing those those stupid “active” Wii games.
Adorable! The pink track suit on Tornado is so cute. Being active with your children is a great way to sneak in exercise while spending time with the little ones. Keep up the great work!
Finding time for a workout and finding time to spend time with your child is not an easy task but incorporating both is really fun. Working out with your child not only makes you both fit but also gives you quality time together.
I really enjoyed your site. I am a personal trainer and love seeing families leading healthy lifestyles.
Thanks

I am always confused when parents lament about how their kids don’t get outside and get some exercise. Be a role model! Get outside and exercise with them! Great post.
