dailyMYB: SWEAT IT YOUR WAY.

Forget everything you think you know about fitness. Forget the way you think it should look, how it should go, where it should be, what it should consist of. Forget any cover of any “fitness” magazine you’ve ever seen. Forget all that. Embrace what YOU WANT. SWEAT the way you WANNA. Don’t let anything stop you from digging into your fitness space 100% the way you want to. This isn’t your job, your schooling — this is YOUR recess, your play time, your sweat time, your head time, your soul work time. So WORK it! Do the workout YOU wanna do. Do something crazy! Do something different from everyone else. Do something old school. Rock the style you wanna rock, rock the music you wanna listen to, run your own route, go to the class you wanna hit up, do the activity that gets you pumped up — forget everything else! Stray from the pack. Wonder into something unknown. Bust through self-imagined barriers. Step outside what you THINK you can do—go even further.

Don’t let anything or anyone define your fitness for you. Sweat from your heart. Sweat from your soul. SWEAT IT YOUR WAY.

MOTIVATION: shake off the schlub. Remember a time when people dressed up to get on an airplane? Today we drag onto planes in our pajamas. Similarly, we schlep to the gym in our torn sweat pants and pit-stained tanks. Step it up, people! Take pride in your workout and your SWEATstyle! Find pieces that fit you and allow you to move accordingly. Invest in well-made basics you can rock anytime of day or night. Embrace pants and shirts that show off all the hard work you’re putting into your body, both inside and out. Never let “my workout clothes are dirty” stop you from going to the gym! Rock your own style and embrace your body! Suff at the gym or wherever you get your MYB on! Work it people! Show off all that hard work! #SWEATstyle (photo via NIKEFacebook) High-res

MOTIVATION: shout it proud. There’s a lot of peer pressure going on out there. Pressure to be one way or another. To do something that’s considered cool or not cool by a group of people. But they’re all just followers. You do your own thing. You rock your own style. You show people what YOU think is cool and shake off whatever preconceived opinions they have about it. If you want to get your SWEATstyle on while other people want to do something else, you stick to your plan. You want to sign up for a race and work towards it while your friends think that’s dorky or uncool or whatever, shake it off. If you want to stick to the healthy habits you know are right, you hang on tight to those habits. You’re the cool one taking care of your body and staying healthy the right way. And in the long run, both your body and your real friends will thank you. This body is the only one you’ve got. So treat it right. And shout it proud so that others will follow in your example—and soon you’ll be the “cool” one. Trust. High-res

MOTIVATION: downtownfrombehind (on a bike).

downtownfrombehind is my total BLOGcrush. Take cool people. Put them on bikes. Watch them ride through the streets of New York. Take photo (from behind). Genius. CYCLEstyle is no joke here in New York City. And any city for that matter. Get on a bike and it’s a POPup fashion show. We city-cyclers just ride in style. No doubt about it. 

Speak of….So after just one glorious year together, my bike was stolen last winter from outside my boyfriend’s apartment in Brooklyn. (God punishing me for having pre-marital relations? Doubtful.) I just stood at the window whimpering, “It’s not there! Mike, it’s not there!” Saddest rainy day ever. I need a new bike and I need one FAST. Previous bike (RIP Matilda) was a matte black SPECIALIZED SIRRUS. And it RULED. Any suggestions for my next city/potential racing bike??

Meanwhile, check out this adorable video  downtownfrombehind made:
