About this Diario
Movement. Mindset. A long, active, and useful life.
Welcome to the FormaFit Journal, where we show up real, stretch often, and move with purpose.
Stay Active Means:
Daily movement, not perfection. Stretching, walking, dancing, resting. Staying in motion, even when it’s slow. Being connected to your body and what it needs. Movement is medicine. Movement is freedom. This is how we live fully, every day.
Stay Sharp Means:
Mental clarity. Self-checks. Movement with awareness. Presence is power. Discipline is care. Thought is action. Awareness is key. Inspired by thinkers, movers, and the freedom to grow.
Stay Ready Means:
Prepared, not pressured. Gear in the bag. Sunscreen in the car. Backup plans, backup snacks. One less excuse. One more reason to move. Being ready is how we protect the spark. So when the moment comes, We Go!
What I Carry, What I Notice
I stopped mid-walk because something felt off. She hadn’t eaten. I handed her a GU and stayed awhile. That moment reminded me why I always carry what I do and why staying present matters just as much as staying fueled.
Let’s Talk Socks: The Unsung Gear That Can Make or Break Your Miles
Socks might seem like a small thing until you’re 7 miles in and ready to rip them off. Here’s how I choose my socks for races, trails, and training days, plus my non-negotiable foot prep routine.
Why I Rotate My Shoes: A Trail Strategy for Staying in Motion
When the work is slow and the path is quiet, I still lace up and go. One of the best moves I've made? Rotating my shoes. This trail-tested strategy keeps my feet fresh and my spirit moving forward. Here’s how it works and why it matters.
Back in Motion: From Miles to Muscles
Sometimes coming back to movement isn’t about performance. It’s about remembering what you enjoy. From long walks to slow strength, here’s how I’ve been rebuilding from the ground up.
Zuma Day, Cloudy Mind: Why I Go Anyway
Zuma didn’t give us sun, but it gave us something better, a space to breathe. From water shoes on cold sand to supporting ice cream vendors by the shore, here’s why I show up even when the skies stay gray.
Redondo Pier Walk + New Kicks
A walk on Redondo Pier turns into an unexpected moment of inspiration. From fresh seafood to California’s first surfer, here’s to bold steps and bolder ideas.
Concrete Moves: Switching Up the Walk and Still Bringing the Heat
Back on the path where it all began this time on foot, in concrete runners, and fully in my power. I switched terrain, shoes, and strategy to keep the fire lit without burning out. Tomorrow? The beach gets this same energy.
It’s Not the Gear. It’s the Movement
After some time off, I’m back on the trail sorting through what still works and what’s ready to be replaced. I got new shoes, not the ones I expected… but they were the right ones. This post isn’t about fancy gear, it’s about movement, confidence, and earning what carries you.
Head Down, Heart Open: A Walk Through Silver Lake Reservoir
A walk through Silver Lake Reservoir reminded me that presence is power. From the open meadow to a quiet prayer box asking, “What are you thankful for?”, I moved slow, head down, heart open and I wrote one word: movement.
All That’s Required Is to Show Up and Move
I didn’t make my 7am trail plan, but I still showed up and moved and that shifted my whole day. All that’s required is to show up and move.
From Sunday Stretch to Sunday Stride: A Walk Through LA State Historic Park
Sunday Stretch turned into a Sunday Stride through LA State Historic Park — a walk layered with motion, memory, and meaning. From Metro tracks to monarch weigh stations, concrete quotes to views of City Hall, this was more than a walk, it was a reminder that movement can connect us to place, history, and our own magic.
Rolling into May: Movement, Freedom, and Why I Ride
I don’t ride for speed or stats. I ride to move, to breathe, and to feel a little more free. Bike Month is a reminder: movement can roll with you.
Beach Mode Unlocked: My Go-To Outdoor Gear for Sunny Days
Beach mode officially unlocked. I’ve been building my summer gear stash and now that the heat is here, I’m ready to move, rest, and repeat.
Walking with My JBL Clip Speaker Made My Hike Way More Fun
Movement hits different when there’s a soundtrack. My JBL speaker kept me moving, smiling, and feeling unstoppable on today’s trail walk.

Coach Vida and the FormaFit Team
Not every celebration of freedom needs fireworks. On July 4th, we stood beneath the Korean Friendship Bell in San Pedro to hear its sacred sound. The bell was a gift from Korea, built with intention, cracked on its first ring, and cast again. Now, it rings in four frequencies and on this day, we rang it too.
