Hi, I'm Gina. Welcome to The Fitnessista! I love blogging about my adventures as a new mom, military wife and fitness instructor, as well as sharing new workouts and recipes. Check out the About page for more info - thanks for stopping by!
That sounds like fun
Hmmm…..
When does the fun begin?
eep! i keep forgetting about this page hahah. hopefully next week when i have internet again, i can get it put together
This isn’t fun related really, but I was just wondering if there was a way to subscribe to your blog? Since I’ve just recently come across I’m having a hoot reading the archives instead of actually doing work at work – it’d be awesome if I got a notice when your new ones go up. If not I’ll just continue to check at my leisure but I thought I’d ask.
Hi there,
I’ve just stumbled across your blog and LOVE it. Have you ever thought about setting up something like a formspring page so people could ask you questions?
i did it for a while last year, maybe i’ll start it up again
Hi Gina-
This is random, but since you teach zumba and said you love to dance. Would you give some tips on dancing? Sounds ridiculous, but I have no sense of rhythm and would love some tips on how to dance at bars, weddings, keep the beat,etc. Thought maybe it could be a fun post?!
that is a fun idea- thank you!
Along with Lissi’s idea…I would love to watch one of your Zumba classes since that seems to be a big love in your life. I do not know if you are allowed to film any while you are at work, but there are always fun Zumba dances on YouTube and I was wondering if you would post one!
sure, it’s been forever since i’ve updated my youtube page
Hello! Love your blog!!!! keep up the good work! If you don’t mind my asking how did you lose 40 pounds? What foods did you focus on? What foods did you stay away from? I am struggling and was just wondering if you could offer any advice. Thanks!!!
here ya go

SOO excited for the fun to begin! (:
I was wondering if you have ever done or will consider doing a post on your favorite things, such as home appliances, (like what dehydrator you use) or what blender etc?
ohh that’s a great idea for a post!
Hey, I wasn’t sure how to contact you, and this seemed like a good spot to do it… My Hubs and I will be visiting Arizona in early spring (specifically the Phoenix and Sedona areas) and I was just wondering if you had any suggestions for things we should/places we should visit (on a modest budget) while in the great state. We’re from Indiana and have never been so we’re REALLY excited! THANKS!
Is this link broken?
Wow! So awesome! Such a great idea and amazing resource.
I love your Focus On post, do you plan on writing some soon? I would love to see one about protein and the importance of meeting the daily needs while working out! Thanks!
Hey Gina! I was wondering if it’d be possible for you to make some sort of “Books” sections on this page. I know you read a lot of great books and would love easy access to your posts on some of the books you’ve read. Thanks!
Great site! I’d be happy to send you the Dance w/Julianne DVDs (and others). Please get in touch!
Thanks!
