Hi Everyone,
Hope you all are doing well!
I want to do a live video this week… I’m just not sure of the day or time yet… but I will post here and on the community youtube tab. 🙂
My new mic is supposed to be here today… but it’s not showing that it’s out for delivery yet…. so hoping it gets here today so I can try it out and if it’s good I’ll use it for the live. Yay!
See you guys soon!!

PS… I added to the CliftaFit banner.
Hi Everyone,
Have you all been watching my NEW Youtube videos lately?
I have about 12 or so new ones about my new journey… FIT BY 50! I will turn 50 in October and my goal is to be fit again by then. I haven’t yet defined what fit is to me, but I’ll know it when I get there. It won’t be all about looks, but more of a feeling of fitness and wellness… and being able to do physical activities with more ease than when I first started my journey on January 2, 2017.
At the start of my journey… everything felt hard. I was actually a little surprised at how hard everything actually felt. It made me really see just how much I had let myself go over the last few years. So basically.. I guess I could say that I just want to feel better overall and get back in touch with my body again and feel stronger than when I first started. I started out as this being a “Fit By 50” journey, but once I got going… this will be an on going journey to become my BEST version of myself… physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually!
Here’s is the very first video to my journey that I didn’t post on my CliftaFit channel…. I posted this on my Little Buff Cowgirl channel.
I hope you all are watching my journey! And as of a couple days ago I am down about 4 lbs. and feeling better !!! 🙂

Hi Everyone,
I hope you all are having a great Memorial Day weekend!
Just checking in with you all to say I’ll be posting another video soon. Probably in the next couple days… just taking some time off this weekend… it’s been a while since I’ve had a 3 day weekend. I rarely get 2 days off in a row… so 3 is magical… lol. 🙂
The next video will be my Vlog #4, which was my 4th week of my journey back to fitness. I only did 2 workouts that week, but still made my goal of 2-3 workouts per week, which is what my goal is right now.
Thank you all for your support and following me on Youtube and any of my other social media sites! I really appreciate it!
Take care… and sending Blessings to you all!!
Train hard, Train smart, and Stay Safe!!

Hi Everyone…
I’m trying to coordinate my website with my youtube channel and really want them to work together. So I guess you could say that I’m in the process of getting organized! Yay! lol
I’ve shot a lot of footage the last week or so and sometimes it takes a while for me to edit it… so… what I’ll start doing is trying to post what video will be coming up next for my CliftaFit channel. That way you get an idea ahead of time as to what I’ll be posting on my channel. I’ll also be posting ALL of my workouts here too for my journey back… some of my workouts will be in video form on my channel and others will only be listed here… so make sure you check here often so that you catch everything because there will probably be some workouts that I won’t be able to film, but ALL my workouts will be here. Did that make sense? lol
So check here often to see what’s coming up! 🙂

Hi Everyone,
DAY 1- LEGS— DONE—- Check 🙂
This was my first leg workout on “My Journey Back”. I actually thought I might be a little sore today, the day after, but I don’t notice any soreness… yay!
Anyways… I had a really short workout before one of my clients, which, even though it was quick, it actually made my legs a little shaky. I’m kind of surprised that I’m not sore, but glad that I’m not. Means I can do a little more next time. I just didn’t want to push it too much the first day back. No muscle soreness and even more important… my knee and hip feel really good. 🙂
*Here’s the workout… 3 Rounds of the circuit below (Non-stop until done)
Walking Lunges …………… 5 lbs. x 10 reps
Bench Step Ups ……………. 5 lbs. x 10 reps
Stiff Leg Deadlifts …………. 45 lbs. x 12 reps
Single Calf Raise …………… Bodyweight x 15 reps each side
*After the above I did…
3 sets of Hip Abductors…. 40 lbs. x 20 reps
Hope you all have a great day!!

Hi Everyone,
I have a new video on Youtube and thought I’d add it here too in case you haven’t seen it yet. It’s my CliftaFit Update video.
Hope you all are well,
Clifta
Just a little note to say that I haven’t forgotten about you. I’m still working on that post that I said I was working on back in December and I am almost done with it. It’s hard sometimes to put things into words just right so they make sense… and I may be trying to make it too perfect, lol… but I wanted to make sure that I had this first post update after being gone for 2 or so years to be good so you know what I’ve been up to. I’m sure it will go easier after that. I’m planning on having it done by next week. Would like to have it done sooner, but am really busy this week. I promise it’s coming soon. 🙂
I’ve started making changes to this site as well as my Youtube channel. I’ve been playing around with new banners and am getting closer to being back on a regular basis. I’ve been revamping myself and will be revamping my sites as well. It’s time to step into the NEW!!! 🙂
What do you think of the new banners? They may be changing again, but so far this is what we have.
Anyways… I’ve got to go for now and I’ll be back soon!
Take care… hope you all are doing well,
Clifta 🙂
