podcast is back (+ a giveaway!)

Hi from Tucson! Exciting news today: the podcast is back! I took a little bit of a spring break to get my creative mojo going, and wanted to take some time to narrow down the type of content I wanted to provide. I didn’t expect it to grow as quickly as it did (thank you!!!), and wanted to make sure I was giving you the best content possible. I took a couple of months to brainstorm, interview guests, and relaunch with a more strategic vision.

So, here we are!

I’m very excited for the newest episode because I’m chatting with my good friend and macro coach, Emily Field, RD. Emily is extremely knowledgable, down-to-earth, and I love chatting with her. You can check out the podcast notes + a full transcript of the episode here. 

Exciting news: Emily is going to be teaming up with me for this year’s Summer Shape Up! We start the party on June 24, and she’ll be providing the meal plans, grocery lists, and macro counts for your nutrition goals. 

To join in, make sure you’re signed up to my newsletter. This way you’ll be sure to get all of the info first!

    I would love to hear more about core strength and how to incorporate into daily/weekly strength and running – I think it’s super important and an area of weakness for me (especially as a runner).

    • Noelle on June 5, 2019 at 2:23 pm

      I’d love to hear more about working out with chronic back/neck and joint pain – how to navigate that, figure out what works for you without aggravating everything for a week, etc. 🙂

    • Eileen Liebel on June 5, 2019 at 2:23 pm

      I would love to hear about eating nutrient dense foods and a topic about eating to live versus living to eat…how about daphne oz as a guest???

    • Monique on June 5, 2019 at 2:57 pm

      I’d love to hear about pre and postpartum fitness. I am expecting my first child, and there is so much conflicting information out there. It is sometimes overwhelming.

    Gina – I actually just discovered your podcast and am really enjoying it so far! I started with the Burn Boot Camp episode, and it inspired me to start carving out time in my schedule to work out and prioritize my self-care. Sounds cliche, but I needed to hear that! Thanks so much — looking forward to listening to more topics <3

  19. Jen on June 5, 2019 at 1:45 pm

    I would like to hear about exercising with knee arthritis and/or knee injury.

  20. Marci Agnew on June 5, 2019 at 1:46 pm

    Podcasts I think would be great

    1) A pregnancy/postpartum expert to go along with all of the great information you already have/provide
    2) I always love a pod-cast on different life-hacks people have
    3) Staying consistent with traveling with kids (fitness wise)

  21. Christina Pope on June 5, 2019 at 1:47 pm

    More on fitness and pregnancy!

  22. Kelsey on June 5, 2019 at 1:49 pm

    I think something on balancing types of workouts would be great!

  23. Stephanie on June 5, 2019 at 2:07 pm

    Amazing! I love seeing what happens after people take a step back and take time to bring more shape and focus.

    I think I would love to hear a podcast that’s a sort of roundtable discussion on different fitness professionals in the industry and in similar (or similarly aligned) sort of ways–like, a barre3 instructor and a Body Flow instructor and a yoga instructor and a pilates instructor and maybe some sort of holistic health/wellbeing professional all coming together to talk about ways they advocate for integrated health, wellness, fitness, wellbeing in a mind-body sort of a way.

    (I hope that makes sense!)

    • Stephanie on June 5, 2019 at 2:09 pm

      ALSO, I just subscribed to the podcast in itunes! I can listen to it when I am making my Les Mills RPM and Les Mills Body Flow playlists for each week! 🙂

  24. misty on June 5, 2019 at 2:14 pm

    maybe interview Melissa about the Whole 30 or the people who founded Orange Theory? Like how did they come up with that concept and what made them franchise it?

  25. Liz on June 5, 2019 at 2:14 pm

    I’d love to see you have the ladies of Forever 35 to chat about skincare and makeup! Other fun guests could be Lauryn and Michael from the Skinny Confidential.

  26. Liz on June 5, 2019 at 2:15 pm

    I’m already subscribed and so excited you’re back with a new episode!

  27. Liz on June 5, 2019 at 2:16 pm

    I already left a review 🙂

  28. Margaret on June 5, 2019 at 2:18 pm

    I would love to hear about rebuilding your core after pregnancy. I also had two large babies and am currently in PT to work on closing my ab separation but I am surprised by how little info there is out there on how to recover safely and effectively.

  29. Maeghan on June 5, 2019 at 2:20 pm

    I would love for you to have Anne Mauney from Fannetastic Food on the podcast to discuss intuitive eating and how to cultivate a healthy relationship with food.

    I’m subscribed to the podcast on Apple Podcasts 🙂

  31. Jody on June 5, 2019 at 2:22 pm

    I’d love to hear/learn more about Perimenopause. For many of us it starts much sooner than we’d expect in our 30’s and may leave us banging our heads about sympytoms when it all comes back to hormones and how they change in the phase in our life leading up to Menopause.

  32. Maeghan on June 5, 2019 at 2:22 pm

    I left a podcast review on Stitcher! Great work 🙂 I love listening to the podcast on my lunch break while I take a walk or in the morning when I am getting ready for work.

    Id love to hear about maintaining relationships, both for friends and spouse, especially after kids! Oh and life hacks are always great!

  35. Becca on June 5, 2019 at 2:24 pm

    Consider having Isabel Foxen Duke about her approach to body image and dieting.

  36. Liz on June 5, 2019 at 2:36 pm

    Love the podcast 🙂 I’d like to hear an episode about picky eating and getting kids to try new foods. I’d also love to hear episodes about eating/fitness from perspectives of people who live in different countries.

  37. Vicki Lantz on June 5, 2019 at 2:41 pm

    I love to hear advice on how to balance training and real life.

    I’m always looking to hear more about skincare!

  40. Meghan on June 5, 2019 at 2:47 pm

    I’d love to hear more about incorporating workouts into a busy day! I’m a full time working mom and by the time I get the kiddos dropped off at daycare, work, pick them up and back home again my only options are 4:30 am (not going to happen ;0) ) or late in the evening!

  41. Catherine on June 5, 2019 at 2:58 pm

    Hi! I would love to learn more about how diet affects our hormones in positive and negative ways. Such an interesting and important topic!

  42. jennifer on June 5, 2019 at 3:07 pm
