Week of giveaways: Final Giveaway- ENDED
This week has been pretty much amazeballs. Thank you again to everyone for participating, sending blog love, and for your kind and wonderful comments. I’m truly lucky to *know* all of you, and am also grateful to the companies who generously sponsored the week of giveaways.
Congratulations to the Home Goods giveaway winner!

“I LOVE the poppy flower wall decals in my kitchen. They do a great job brightening up the space.”
Please send me your info (fitnessista at gmail dot com, subject: HOME GOODS WINNER!) and I’ll get your prize on the way 🙂
Today’s giveaway, the final one, is sponsored by one of my all-time favorite workout companies, along with Livi and Bella.
I fell in love with Physique 57 two years ago, and if we had a studio in Tucson, it would be one of my regular workout spots. Nothing has made my thighs thighs and biscuits burn quite like P57. I’m so glad they have DVDs you can do at home if you don’t have a studio near you, and I’ve done the DVDs quite a few times in addition to the usual workout suspects. I see and feel a huge difference when I have P57 in my life, and anytime I’m in NY or LA I’m excited to take a live class.
The winner of this giveaway will receive a volume 2 Physique 57 DVD, courtesy of Physique 57,
and will also win a Polar FT40 heart rate monitor, which I’ll order for you,
plus a batch of custom macaroons (chocolate, mocha, blonde, super roon with cacao nibs and goji berries, or Meyer-lemon lavender)
and whatever Whole Foods/TJs goodies find their way into the box 😉
I absolutely love my Polar heart rate monitor and wear it for all of my high-intensity workouts. Since I know how much I’m burning, I can get an idea of how much more I need to eat that day, and I always push myself a little harder when I can see how hard I’m working. It’s a fantastic workout tool and was even more helpful while I was pregnant, so I knew not to let my heart rate get too crazy high.
-With the Summer Shape Up beginning this week, this giveaway will end on FRIDAY, 6/15.
This giveaway has ended! Congratulations to the winner, Natalie.
This is my favorite giveaway so far the DVDs and the polar monitor are some things I have wanted for a very long time but I could never afford them on my own! There are sooo many reasons I have been reading this blog for the past four years but mainly because you offer so much variety! I love the Focus On post, they may be my favorite and I go back to them frequently whenever I’m deciding to try a new fitness class or DVD. I’m only 21 but I love the family post because I take of a baby full time, and you have been very helpful! I would like to see more videos! Things like how to’s (more hair ideas please!) , product reviews, fitness challenges/ quick workout videos. Hope this helps 
Thank you so much to all of you for your amazing feedback, comments and sweet wishes. I’m so fortunate to have you in my life, and stay tuned for many more giveaways!
Thank you all so much for reading my little blog and for hanging out with me over here <3
Here’s to another amazing year!
xoxo

I love reading all posts, especially the Family and Fashion posts! I would love to try out Physique 57 workouts!
I would love to see more recipes! All of the food you eat looks amazing!
I love it all, but a few faves are your focus posts, workouts and I have been loving your new fashion posts on hair! I just recently bought the curling iron that you used in your making waves post and followed your styling tips and abolutely love the look! I now use it more than my hot rollers. 🙂 I also love Physique 57…I have the first volume and have been eying the second one for quite some time now. Thank you for all that you do!!
I love your workout tips!
I like the variety of workouts you include on your blog. I would like to see more workouts printable. It is nice to print off a copy of the workouts to do. Thank you for all you do to make this a great blog to read. I enjoy reading it not only for the workouts & great recipes, but for the personal touch you include with your family life. Thank you for the chance for a fun giveaway too!
I LOVE everything about your blog!!!!!! Love the life posts, workouts, meals… everything! Would love to try Physique 57!
I think your blog is really well-balanced, actually. I love that you have different sections– i read them all but I suppose not everyone does, so it’s probably nice to keep things categorized. I am always stealing your recipes, so that’s probably my favorite part. You keep it simple, and I like that, because I’m a little lazy in the kitchen. So maybe…. More recipes and more… Fashion posts? I like outfit ideas!
I love the workouts and recipes. And of course all the updates on your amazing little family!
I loved your waterfall braid tutorial! I think I can actually do it on my hair too 🙂
I LOVE the Summer/Winter shapeups! I can’t wait to start the Summer shape Up this week. It is so great that you take time to create programs for your readers and not just list the workouts that you do. I also really enjoy your focus on posts, I was so scared to try Body Pump, but I read your Focus On post and went to my first class and now I’m hooked. Thank you for all the time and attention you put into the blog.
Wow, what a great giveaway! I love your blog and am now using it as a great resource for keeping fit while expecting my first! The heart rate monitor would be a great addition to my arsenal. Thanks!
I love the variety of topics, but love new recipes and workout ideas!
also pinned avocado pita pizza!
I love that you combine all of my favorite things: Food, Fitness and Fashion!
You’ve inspired me to try to make spring rolls this week! I think I’ll end up putting your tempeh taco filling in them.
I’d really love to see a zumba routine or two from you!
Love the family posts! Your daughter is adorable.
I love the recipes, meal ideas, and workouts! I also appreciate that healthy living and eating is presented in such an accessible way — it definitely feels much easier to incorporate little tips into everyday life. Thank you Gina!
I love your blog and would love to see more recipe posts! Your family is beautiful and I love the workouts and music videos!
WOW…awesome giveaway! Your blog rocks but I especially love your family page and recipes. I have tried several recipes and they have become some of my go to meals. I also love that you blog so often…I know that I check you page a couple times through out the day just to see what’s going on! 😉
another great giveaway! thanks, as always, for hosting these!
i love about your blog: fitness motivation and different ways to think about goal setting.
could use: more pictures of little livi!! heh heh 😉 And, i’m also down for a quick-to-execute work-out challenge. i find it really motivating to stumble on a post that challenges readers to complete a set of exercises that day, or even that week.
thanks again!

I pinned your blog on Pinterest! =)
Fitnessista Feedback –
I love the addition of your future sister-in-law’s style idears. It’s a great way to showcase new fashions, but I do miss your style advice because I loved to see the workout outfits, or for your date nights it was sweet and casual.
I love the recipes! Those are my favorite! Especially when you try new foods that I have heard of/read about but am just not sure how to incorporate it in to a meal or snack (example sweet potatoes done several ways, protein powder in lots of your snacks 🙂 or adding veggies anywhere you can).
I also love the really positive attitude and gratitude you have towards life – despite the changes it may bring. Your blog is so positive to read every day, which is what keeps me coming back.
I would love to see more work out videos with tutorials/how tos.
Otherwise – Keep up the great work!!
I pinned the protein pancakes – the best way to fill you up pancakes!

Id love to see more ab workout and high protein recipes!
My best friend and I have been an avid reader for quiet some time now! I really enjoy the balance of work, fun, family, and food. It makes us realize and remember as the foodies that we all are (hi we’re blogging about it) that there is also more to life than counting calories and eating healthy… you husband and baby girl! I would like to see a few more recipes. I know we all have a way of eating and I enjoy the clean eating style you have, but more breakfast and snack ideas would be great!
PS. I also love how you show your meals and the pilots. It gives me faith that with my boyfriend I can still eat in my comfort zone of healthy, while still allowing him to have more nutrients that he needs, that I might not!
I love the variety of your blog! Fitness, recipes/nutrition, and family! Everything my little heart loves 🙂
I love the exercise posts – anything from what you have been doing to just workout lists and music lists…. It keeps me motivated. I also love hearing your reviews on different exercise programs- and diets (and by “diet” I mean the way one chooses to eat)
I love meal ideas. Maybe include some more specific recipes/instructions, or a post about your favorite TJ’s products? I don’t live near a TJ’s and I always feel overwhelmed when I get to PHX and go to one – I never know what to buy.
Pinned the breakfast cookie to Pinterest!

I stumbled upon your blog a few months ago and ever since then, I have followed it daily. I love all of your workout and recipe ideas. However, what I appreciate the most is your honesty and willingness to broach complicated topics. With the addition of Olivia’s and Bella’s pictures, you have made it into a well-rounded and informative blog. I am even giving Zumba a try today due to your high praises.
More gluten free recipes!
I really enjoy the mix of fitness, family and personal life that you share. It keeps things mixed up.
Well I don’t pin or tweet but this giveaway looks awesome! Always wanted to try your maracoons! I love that you separate your blog into separate parts (family, fashion, etc.) definitely makes it easier to pick and choose what to read based on each readers interests. Also I have been loving your dinner recipes so keep them coming!
I love seeing the workouts you post! As a new fitness instructor, it’s always nice to see what other instructors do:)
Tagged you on the FB. LOVING that bfast cookie… and also as always the AMAZEBALLS!
Cant wait for summer shape up– I”M READY!!

I love the recipes you post! I have probably made 90% and there isn’t a bad one in the bunch.
Love everything about the blog! Honestly!
Can’t wait for Summer Shape Up! I’m pumped!
I can’t say I have any suggestions for the blog since I sincerely believe it looks great and is very user-friendly to find things! I always appreciate the time and effort it takes for you to put together the workouts for your readers and I truly thank you. I can’t wait to get my booty into shape with the Summer Shape Up! Thanks for all that you do and for keeping your readers inspired 🙂
I am living in Chicago this summer and walking around so much! I would love to see how many calories I am burning each day so I know how much to eat each day and how long to work out for in addition to walking. This would be so helpful! Thanks!
I love everything about your blog! Maybe a few more recipes here and there would be awesome. 🙂
Your roons are the stuff legends are made of, that’s all I have to say about that!
I’m loving your mix of life with baby, workouts, healthly food ideas, etc. I really enjoy coming here each and every day to see what you’re up to. Your “focus on” posts are a new-ish addition that I really like! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wondered about something only to find that you’ve “focused” on it that week. Congrats on this blogiversary, G$!!!!!
I love seeing the workouts you post! It helps me vary my routine and your workouts are always great!
Whoa what an awesome giveaway! I kept getting more and more excited as I read through your post – I love Physique 57, I’ve been wanting a heart rate monitor for awhile, and I have been dying to try your macaroons! I love your blog and am always excited to read your latest posts 🙂 I especially love all of your workouts, particularly circuit workouts and your Shape Up programs. I really like when you post pictures/ videos to explain moves, or have links to more information about a particular exercise. Keep up the awesome blogging! Oh and I always love to see pictures of Liv 🙂
I love the “focus on” posts!
I love your blog and especially your tips for quick, healthy meals that you can modify if the man in your life doesn’t eat the same way you do. Also, as I’ve made progress in my fitness goals and become more of a “Gym Jane” I’ve enjoyed your workouts more and more. Just keep going is all I ask!
I’ve been following your blog for a while now and love that you incorporate a little bit of everything. Fitness, family and fashion. The first thing I do every morning is check out your blog and see what’s new. I look forward to your seasonal workouts an inspiration to all. I would like to see more in the fashion page, but it’s not that vitail. I hope i’m the lucky one for this giveaways. I often comment but never win.
Have a nice day and keep doing what you do that inspires us everyday.
Thank you
Sandra
I love the blog as it is!! I like seeing new ways to do basic movies like the 10 ways to crunch or 10 ways to lunge, and new recipes! If you would keep those up they really do help a lot to keep your body guessing and keep you from being voted. Thanks Gina!
I pinned your Workout in the Park – I love that you only need a bench to do all of the moves! http://pinterest.com/pin/81909286943229862/
I love love love your posts! I just wish when I clicked on a link it opened in a new window instead of directing me away from your page.
I tweeted about your awesome giveaway 🙂 https://twitter.com/#!/stephanieblind
Enjoy reading the blog. You have a great balance, like the focus on post. Keep on keeping on, the blog keeps me coming back!
I like that your blog is a mix of fitness tips and experiences from pregnancy+motherhood. I’m in the same age-zone you are (no kids yet), but I like reading up on your experience because it makes me feel like I’ll be slightly more prepared when the time comes.
