Southern girl turned New Yorker, Emily Newman (me!), is on a mission to build MYBnation one booty at a time by transforming sad lonely workouts into social, inspiring challenges! Get moving! Any way, any how.
“Wickedly pumped for my first ever yoga class tomorrow with Emily. I’m gonna downward buddha the fuck out of this weekend.”
My boyfriend, Mike.
After a discussion about whether or not NFL footballers do yoga, Mike signed up for his first yoga class ever tomorrow (thank you Justin Tuck!). How was your very first namaste experience?? Any experience for my (6’4” 240lb) boyfriend, Mike?

MYB mayMADESS* workout #1 of 20: soccer.
*join the 20 workout challenge, now!
From ages 8-20, soccer ruled my life. I played year round in North Carolina growing up, traveled the entire state for games, and played some in college (though took a sharp left turn when I discovered a hip hop dance troupe and dove head first into that - you can never predict these things!). But Mike (leBF) and I try to find all kinds of ways to get our MYB on (soccer is to me as football was for him growing up). Sometimes the gym just doesn’t do it for this guy, so we change it up between weights, basketball, soccer, football — and yes, sometimes even bowling. Lucky for us, there is both a park AND a bowling alley (actually 2) right near our apartment.
Anyway! Workout #1 of 20 was completed playing a friendly game of soccer (some thrown elbows and all). 19 more to go!!

MOTIVATION: cross training.
Little morning football with the boyfriend to get our sweat on. Followed by a little basketball at the gym. Game to 21. So what if he’s got a foot on me! Bring it on. Only lost by 2.
Cross training can take all shapes and sizes. What’s your favorite sport? Tennis? Swimming? Soccer? Who do you wanna challenge? Your friend? Your crush? Your roommate? Girlfriend/Boyfriend? Husband/Wife?
Change it up! Challenge a buddy! Bust out of your routine! Get out there. Have some fun!! MYB!!!
MOTIVATION: putting in the work.
Big goals take big work. Even small goals take big work. And you need that push, that desire, that need to succeed pushing you every day. How bad do you want it? And how hard are you willing to push?
(Thanks to Dave B. for the video!)

MOTIVATION: namaste.
Super Bowl Champ & New York Giant Justin Tuck does his signature NAMASTE, aka “TUCKING.” Not the first Giant to incorporate yoga into their football workout!

HAPPENING TONIGHT! 7:15PM! See below! GET YOUR FOOTBALL/MYBsweat ON!
ANNOUNCING MYB: training camp edition!!!
You miss the days of team sports, right? You loved gameday but what you really miss is the glory of PRACTICE! That group effort you put forth running drills, honing your skills and keeping in tip top shape through the sport you loved. You’d much rather hit the field to get your sweat on than going to the boring gym. Well NOW YOU CAN.
Introducing MYB TRAINING CAMP: football edition. We’re running “football practice” that’s a throwback to your high school sports days and a hardcore workout in disguise.
**You don’t have to be a former football star to partake in the action, either! But a love of football helps. Chicks and dudes are all welcome!!**
MYB training camp will take place on
Tuesday, November 29thTHURSDAY, DECEMBER 1st at 7:15pm in Brooklyn’s McCarren Park. And it’s totally FREE! Details below from Mike V:!!Hey all,
We can come off of Thanksgiving and work off some of that extra stuffing!Tuesday 11/29 7:15pm at the McCarren Park football field (the one with the lights and running track).
That field is always in use so we probably won’t get on the main part but there are smaller areas behind the goal posts that will serve our purpose just fine.
To those of you that are curious, here’s how the class will work.10 minute stretch
20 minutes plyometrics
20 minutes agility drills (cones, karaokes, explosions, backpedals)
10 minutes instructions
30-40 minutes position drills (catching, running, pass coverage)
10 minutes hard conditioning
10 minutes cool downI’ve budgeted these times a bit on the high side, so we’ll probably run shorter than anticipated. These times are intended for a full team workout as opposed to 7 people.
Of course no one is obliged to stay the whole time but to get the full workout, it’d be best. Can’t wait!Email: moveyourbootyblog@gmail.com for details!

MOTIVATION: group MYB.
Amazing action today on our makeshift football battlefield!! A tight game that proved these guys can take on any sport! Nothing like a crisp fall pick up football game!!

MOTIVATION: fall is for football.
Off to the park to play!

MOTIVATION: doing what you love!
The philosophy here at MYB has always been find a way you LOVE to sweat—and do it! Whatever it is! It’s the only way to keep yourself motivated and excited. If you hate the gym, don’t go. Do something else! Life is too short to punish yourself on the stairmaster 45 minutes a day (unless you LOVE the stairmaster).
For many of us (including Mike here, pictured above), we hark back to our youth when sports ruled our lives. For him, football represents all that’s right in the world. And he’s looking to get his MYB on playing & practicing with others who feel the same way! Check out his post below. Please pass along to anyone who might be interested. I think there’s a ton of potential here for “team practice” style workouts that both dudes and dudettes might really get into!!

post via Mike V:
Hey I’m looking for someone (a former WR or RB) to meet up and help one another stay sharp on the football field. We ideally would meet up in Brooklyn or in the mornings to run routes to stay sharp.
I’m a former QB just looking to get some gridiron exercise through the winter and to keep my arm from rusting so that I don’t become some old guy who “used to throw a ball pretty well.”
Let’s be real here.. I’m not harboring aspirations to walk-on to an Arena team or any shit like that. I just wanna have fun and throw the ball around (but on a bit more of a serious tip with someone who knows what they’re doing to an extent). I love football and love tossing the pigskin.
Would be great if we could get a few guys together and run some pass skeletons.
MOTIVATION: sunday football.
Off to McCarren Park with Mike to throw the old pigskin around on a fall Sunday morning. Move Your Booty now. Brunch later, people!!

MOTIVATION: the comeback kids.
So tonight was the first night of flag football. And we lost. Big time. But we can only improve from here, right? And we may have lost, but we sure looked good doing it. Going for a win next week!
