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!
Stay Active, Stay Sharp
As we get older, staying active is only half the journey. Staying sharp, mentally present, engaged, and focused,is just as important. In this post, I share how recovery, reflection, and brain training games have taught me to invest not only in my body, but also in my mind for the long run.
Trunk Goals: My Toyota Sienna Beach Loadout
Beach days, done right. See how I turn my Toyota Sienna into a fully functional beach basecamp from a smart trunk changing setup to sun gear, water shoes, snacks, and a boardwalk-ready outfit.
Rusty But Moving: Signs of the Pick-Up
Summer slowed things down, but now I feel momentum stirring again, on the inside and in the field. This post is about soreness, showing up rusty, and still being sharp. If you’re building something in silence, this one's for you.
Venice Birthday: Fruit, Fun, and the Freedom to Move
Birthday joy, street vendors, Muscle Beach athletes, and sunset reflections all from Venice Beach, where movement meets memory. Sin Límites, always.
Chair Yoga at My Desk: A Midday Reset I Didn't Know I Needed
Sometimes the best thing you can do is pause. I’m not a yoga teacher, but today I took a break at my desk, put on some soft music, and let myself stretch. A few gentle chair poses, a few deep breaths and just like that, I felt calmer, more present, and more in control of my day. Movement doesn’t have to be big to make a difference.
Not Every Legacy Has a Name on a Building
I passed a school named after Ben Franklin and it got me thinking ,not every legacy gets a plaque. Sometimes it’s the ones doing the daily work, the builders no one thanks, who leave the biggest mark.
Pan Pacific Park: Movement, Memory, and the Weight of History
Pan Pacific Park offers more than pull-up bars and jogging paths, it invites you to move through memory. From the Greysol Fitness Zone to the Holocaust Museum’s solemn pillars, every step here is strength with purpose.

Building While It's Slow: Why I Train Even When the Work Isn't Flowing
When things get slow, I don’t stand still. I build. I recover. I sharpen. Because staying ready is part of the grind. FormaFit isn’t just about workouts, it’s a mindset.
Alignment in a Scattered World
When others rush, I move with alignment. This post reflects on what it means to stay grounded in chaotic environments, hold steady leadership, and realign when needed. It’s not about control, it’s about presence.
The Week I Grew Wings
I’ve had to work for what I have mentally, physically, spiritually. This week pushed every edge of that. But it also gave me something: proof that I’m not the same. After days of nonstop effort, it wasn’t just rest that brought me back. It was a sacred stretch. This is a story of grind, pain, recovery and becoming.
Steady Is Not Stuck: The Power of the Long Build
Don’t confuse steady with stuck. This season isn’t silence, it’s strategy. I’m not waiting. I’m building. #SinLímites means trusting the long climb.
The Long Game Pays in Power: How Consistent Choices Build Lasting Results
In a world chasing shortcuts, there's power in playing the long game. This post unpacks how small, consistent decisions, in business, fitness, or life, create lasting results. Strength over speed. Integrity over impulse.
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.
I’m Not Trying to Influence, I'm Trying to Live |Journal Entry
This isn’t about performance. It’s about presence. I’m not trying to influence, I’m trying to live, to stop shrinking, and to take up my rightful space.
Here’s more from the Journal: movement, mindset, and moments that keep us in motion.
