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!

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.
