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!
I <3 LA: Walking Through Time on the Old Zoo Trail
Today’s stride took me through LA’s past. The Old Zoo Trail in Griffith Park winds through abandoned enclosures, graffiti-covered structures, and hillside views of the city. Eerie but beloved, this hike is a strange and special piece of Los Angeles history and I walked it wearing my Hollywood cap, soaking it all in.
Statues, Space, and Sweat: What Neil Armstrong Teaches Us About Training for the Unknown
Neil Armstrong. A statue. A reminder.
I stood in front of the Neil Armstrong statue at USC and felt something shift. He trained not just for a mission, but for the unknown. That kind of discipline and vision? That’s what FormaFit is about.
USC will be one of the Olympic Villages in 2028, where athletes will prepare, sweat, and focus just steps away from where that statue stands.
This isn’t just a post about a campus or a moonwalker.
It’s about training with purpose, moving with intention, and staying ready for the extraordinary.
Read how this moment ties into FormaFit’s mindset and the road I’m walking toward LA 2028.

Managing Pain Through Movement and Care
Sometimes pain reminds us to slow down and listen to our bodies. Through mindful movement, careful stretches, and simple recovery tools, I’m learning that managing pain isn’t about perfection, it’s about showing up and caring for yourself, every day.

Why I Built FormaFit Active: Movement Without Limits
When I first started dreaming about FormaFit Active, it wasn’t about being a brand.
It wasn’t about chasing followers, or fitting into a fitness mold.
