So I’ve declared today as get ish done day. You know those items that have been on your to-do list for weeks but still haven’t gotten done? Please tell me you know what I’m talking about. Those nagging to-do’s that are just hanging over your head? Well I’ve got a few of ‘em, and plan to tackle them all – or at least make a decent sized dent in them – today.
I even made a list! Hopefully I’ll be able to plow through it today in between client sessions and client programs.
Speaking of client programs…
A lot of you know that over the past few months, I’ve completely re-hauled my blog. Ever since June, not only my blog, but my way of thinking about my blog, my posts, my blog friends, and my readers has changed – for the better (in my opinion. I hope you agree, too!)
Fun fact: (not so fun?) before coming to the decision that I was going to re-haul my blog (decided on the car ride home from CO) I actually thought I had decided that I was going to stop blogging altogether – during our Colorado trip (I told ya those mountains changed me!) I’m so glad I came to my sense on the car ride home and decided to just give it a little makeover instead of just quitting (thanks to the help of the talented Rita.)
Anywho. Today I’m feeling especially grateful for those who have continued to stop by and read – and for my newer visitors, and I wanted to do a little something to show you my gratuity. What better way than a giveaway?
Part of my blog re-haul entailed combining my old personal training professional website with my personal blog, through my new personal training services page.
You can learn more about it here, but basically, I sign up clients and then present them with:
- Week-by-week workouts, progressing depending on fitness/skill level
- Detailed instructions, schedules, and demo’s – including many that I’ve filmed myself and uploaded to youtube specifically for my online clients
- Weekly tips and check-ins
- Workout calendars, cardio workouts, and strength workouts
I also offer nutritional consulting, in the form of a customized meal plan including guidelines and tips, grocery lists, sample meal menus, and a meal template geared toward the clients’ goals. And if they choose to do both, then I base the meals and meal template around his or her workouts.
To show you all how thankful I am for giving me some conversation on the topics I post about each day, I’m doing a Your Trainer Paige Online Personal Training giveaway! One reader will win 1 free month (four weeks) of customized personal training services including the training services above, based on your goals and fitness levels.
To enter, all you need to do is:
Tell me one of your fitness goals in the comments below.

THANK YOU!
I haven’t been reading blogs much since school started, but I’m glad I stopped by today! I love that you’re doing this! My goal is to work on my strength – and one of my “mini goals” in getting there is getting over my fear of using the weights and machines at the gym!

This giveaway sounds great! I really want to strengthen my core and work my legs
one of my fitness goals is to do push ups…real push ups. They are something that i’ve never been able to do.
I’ve been a long(er) time reader and love your blog. If I still lived in IL I would want you to be my trainer, for sure!
This is awesome you’re doing this giveaway.
One of my (many) fitness goals is to get back into weight lifting. I am so scared to give up cardio for the weights, even though I “know” the importance of weight lifting. I want to be stronger, toned, and fit! I know weights will help, but I don’t know where to start!

I liked your FB page too! Excited for your rambles
Mine goal is to listen to my body and not push it, give it rest and keep active!

One of my fitness goals is to do a 30-day Reverse Lunge Challenge. I hate lunges, but I know they’re good for me, so I’m doing 40 reverse lunges on each leg daily. So far it’s killer but awesome all at the same time

Hi Paige! I’ve been reading your blog for about a couple months now and really connected with you when you went to Colorado. I was born and raised there but moved to Texas a year ago because of my husbands job
. In the past year I’ve lost 30 pounds and just signed up for my first half marathon AND my first triathlon in the before the end of the year. I could use the extra help with training since I’m new at these types of races!!
Thanks-Jennifer
Ahhh love Colorado. Whereabouts did you live?
I was born in Colorado Springs but lived in Castle Rock (just south of Denver) for 10 years. My favorite spot is Brekenridge though, there is something about being in the mountains that calm your mind like nothing else! We are heading back in December to ski!!
I have been reading you for awhile now! I’m so glad you didnt stop blogging!!
My biggest fitness goal is to loose a few pounds and start to tone up again!! I gained a bunch of weight from my old anxiety medication and now that i’m doing it the holistic way and kept the anxiety at bay, I need to focus on getting my old body back!!
thanks!!
kerr
What an awesome giveaway! I want to lose 4 pounds by the end of this month!
I love your new Blog format, Paige!! My goal is to tone up all over and just live a more healthy and nutritious lifestyle!
Paige, I dont comment much at all, but I read your blog RELIGIOUSLY. You seem like such a FUN, down to earth, SMART, witty, person, I wish I could be ‘real’ like friends with you if we lived closer lol
Anyway, I love that youre doing this giveaway! My fitness goal is to work on my booty (I like junk in the trunk haha) and tone up my arms so that I ‘look’ annnnd feel fit! I am trying to incorporate more HIIT and tabata workout because they seem to really work!
Thanks for being YOU!
I just found your blog and am loving the inspiration to make a dent in the To Do list that has been lingering for me as well. I would love to incorporate more strengthening for my spine exercises and yoga. Glad I found your blog : )

I’ve been stalking your blog for a while now and really like it! One of my fitness goals is to incorporate more cardio blasts and circuits into my workouts to make them more efficient.
I’m so happy I found your blog! I love it! (And I love the giveaway.) One goal is to get back into a workout schedule – I do best when I’m in a routine. Another one is to tackle strength training more! (Now I’m going to LIKE your FB page!!)
Right now my only fitness goal is to drop ten pounds. I’ve been trying my very hardest lately, and have had absolutely no luck at all.

My current fitness goal is to run a half marathon in October!
One of my fitness goals it to take some time off of running this fall to focus mostly on strength training and flexibility. I’ve destroyed my body training for race after race this year. Time to give it some extra attention.

My fitness goal is to tone and tighten up all over. I am an avid runner but tend to leave strength training by the wayside (awful I know!). So I’d like to learn new strength training routines to incorporate into my workout schedule.

Also I’m already a ‘liker’ of your fb page!
Its really amazing what you’ve been able to put together, your new site is so user-friendly, and full of helpful posts!
I am struggling at the moment with what I want my current fitness goal to be! I am an avid runner, currently sidelined with a foot injury, which has completely turned my training schedule upside down, since all the cross training, strength training, etc. that I was doing was to support my running. I am hoping to start doing triathlons next spring, since I already swim and bike, but I’m not really sure how to structure my core training and strength/ recovery plan.
This is a great giveaway! One of my goals is to change things up a little bit with my workout routine!

My goal is to tone all over, but I would love to focus on my arms. captainliss40(at)gmail(dot)com
I’m totally lacking motivation right now so one of my fitness goals is to find some motivation! I love fitness and I love working out but right now I just can’t seem to find anything to hold my interest.
Congrats on your redesign! I have feelings of quitting at times as well. Sometimes it just takes stepping back and redefining priorities. Glad you stuck with it!

Kaitlin @4loveofcarrots recently posted..Notre Dame Home opener
Since having my daughter over a year ago, my fitness goals have changed dramatically. Right now, time is limited so my goal is feel healthy and to work out (cardio/strength training) 2-3x a week.
My fitness goal is to get healthy. I have slacked off for about a year now (since getting married) and Ive gained like 20-25lbs. Its awful. I am just now getting my workout mojo back but its frustrating because I cant just jump into my workouts like I used too.
I want to tone my thighs and core!
I want to lose 30 by my 30th! I spent my 20s being 25ish pound overweight (thanks college) and I’m ready to lose! The only problem is I don’t know too much about nutrition and all I know about working out is burn more than you eat so I pretty much do the elliptical or take a class at my gym. I want to learn the correct technique for moves and what they target so that I can do them on my own!
One of my current fitness goals is to run 10km without taking breaks! I was up to 10km a while ago but it didn’t last long and I had to take walking breaks.
I want to be able to do 5 unassisted pull ups in a row!
And I liked your FB page!
I definitely want to work on my abs and my arms. I need to really focus on the abs region more in my workouts and maybe start taking pilates classes again.

Hi Paige, I just finished my 4th mini marthon this morning!! I’ve walked all four of my mini’s, I’m afraid to take the next step up to running! Do you think you could help me start enjoying running! I’d love to see my running career to take off! Thanks!
My goals are probably so similar to many clients. Lose the last few kgs of baby weight and get my core back into gear.
Jess recently posted..Lacking Motivation
My biggest fitness goal right now is to run a sub 30 minute 5k… In my Vibram fivefingers

How do you like running in the Vibrams?? Did you run in a stability shoe before?

Hi,
I’ve been an avid reader for a really long time, and love the way you approach fitness and life in general. I would love to have a more defined upper body, and feel confident to go a lift weights with the boys! Also planning on doing a half, here very soon!!!!

Right now my main fitness goal is to get in my best physical condition by including a variety in my exercise routine and monitoring my eating habits more closely.
