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!

The Ripple We Didn’t See
Even if we weren’t directly impacted by wildfires, ICE raids, or the government shutdown, Los Angeles still carries their ripple effects, slower business, delayed projects, and quiet shifts in how we survive and stay connected.

Safety is Sexy

Escape Plans and Real Life: Lessons from Arnold, Stallone, and the Long Game
The movie Escape Plan 2 with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone is more than action it’s a masterclass in trust, patience, and the long game. Just like in business and life, success comes from moving in silence, paying attention to details, and knowing your shot will come.
Still Coach Vida
When someone told me to “change my mindset” and “get hobbies,” I realized how often warriors, builders, and movers get misjudged. I don’t need hobbies. I live intentionally, I move with purpose, and I claim my identity as an athlete no matter what. This is for anyone who’s been underestimated but keeps grinding.
I Returned to the LA River
The LA River has been with me since the pandemic, a path where I’ve yelled, planned, pedaled, and even carried a bee on my arm. From bridges and cafés to quiet pauses by the water, every return is a reminder that the river isn’t just a place it’s a companion.
Journal Entry: Keep Going Means Keep Moving
I don’t just train in the gym, I train for the job, for the pivot, for the pressure. As a self-employed working coach, movement keeps me sharp, ready, and grounded. I mark an X on the calendar every time I move, because every stretch, every step, every pause counts. For me, keep going means keep moving, not to look a certain way, but to live a certain way. I’m not just still moving. I’m still building.
When Work Shifts, My Body Shifts: What I’ve Learned About Fuel, Endurance, and Adaptation
Freelance life means constant change and my body feels every shift. One week I’m sitting for hours, the next I’m walking miles in a massive workspace. That’s when I notice the side effects: low food drive, lightheadedness, or the crash that comes from running on coffee alone. Over time I’ve learned a simple truth: when the work shifts, my body shifts. And the best way to stay steady is with pocket fuel, small, dense snacks that keep the fire lit without weighing me down.
Here’s more from the Journal: movement, mindset, and moments that keep us in motion.
Pick what calls you. Leave what doesn’t. The road’s still open.
