You thought we’d do Chest, Shoulders and Triceps this week, didn’t you?? I’d even go so far as to bet that at least one of you thought of your move…maybe you even videotaped it in advance??
Well, I went all sorts of crazy and decided to switch things up on you! Gotta keep you on your toes.
WE’RE TAKING A REST DAY!!
Which means, no moves…
Don’t cry. We’re still doing videos. Just not active ones. You can even stay in your pj’s if you want. Just hide the chocolate chip cookie pie out of the camera’s view. Or heck, keep it. Adds flair.
The theme for this week’s Tuesday Trainer is Meet Your “Trainers”!! Holla! (what?)
Basically, you guys are going to submit vlogs of yourselves answering some questions I’ve come up with. I tried to keep them fitness related. (Although, I really DO want to know how much wood would a woodchuck chuck.) So in your vlog, you’ll answer the following:
- What do you wear while working out?
- What is your favorite footwear?
- Favorite post workout meal/snack?
- What’s your next fitness goal?
Here’s my “Meet Your Trainer” video:
Any Carolina fans out there?? Coincidentally, that was the very shirt that I wore the day that Travis fell in love with me. Side story: In our early days of dating, I took him on a vigorous hike in WNC. This was during that period of time when you’re still trying to impress the other party (those days are long past). By the time we summited the mountain, I was schweating profusely and so embarrassed. Travis told me then and there that he loved that I would feel so comfortable as to sweat in front of him. Then he hugged and kissed this naturally sweaty girl.
I like to think that my sweat smelled so attractive that he was cast under a spell. Present day, he still does the dishes and tickles my back. And I make SURE to sweat in front of him on a regular basis. It’s the little things.
Back to Tuesday Trainer….
Some helpful guidelines:
- If you’ve never participated in Tuesday Trainer, you can still submit a Meet Your Trainer!! Anyone can participate!!
- Don’t afraid to be yourself! “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” — Steve Jobs (R.I.P. Steve)
- Wear comfy clothes.
- Try not to ramble on – submissions should be no more than 4-5 minutes long.
- Remember to introduce yourself and your blog.
***DEADLINE for submitting moves is Monday night, the 10th, at 8pm EST. Again, go here to learn how to upload your video!***
P.S. LAST CALL for entering the O.N. Casein Powder Giveaway! Go here to enter!

Allie Finch says:
Cute idea! So nice to get to know you even more.
lindsaymwright says:
Allie Finch – you best submit a video this week!
Allie Finch says:
I really really will this time. I always want to — I even rehearse! I am such a wuss…or get too excited & go off. This is a good way to introduce myself though. ;)
Allie Finch says:
How long does it normally take you to upload videos to YouTube? It’s taking f.o.r.e.v.e.r. It says I still have 46 minutes. ahh…it’s going to be close.
Allie Finch says:
Ok, you are totally going to kill me. Technically it’s late, & I sort of went over the time limit. Worst “trainer” ever.
lindsaymwright says:
Watching it now!
lindsay says:
oh this is fun! what do we say? should I get the hubs to talk instead? hehe. I can’t wait to see everyones interview!
lindsaymwright says:
NO – James can totally answer the questions WITH you…but you gotta be in it too!!
Christin says:
Okay you so had me fooled…I was even paying extra attention in my BodyPump class on arms yesterday! lol
lindsaymwright says:
lol…well, I’m sure you can guess what the week after this will be then! ;)
Christin says:
haha, right?? I’ll be ready! And also looking forward to this week though…such a great idea, and your video is so adorbs!!
Heather @ Better With Veggies says:
Such a great idea! My goal for this week is to do it this weekend, instead of last-minute Monday night. :)
lindsaymwright says:
since there’s no workout to plan for this week, take all the time you need (except seriously, don’t wait TOO long) :)
Kristin @ eat healthy. be happy. live well. says:
I loved your video and hearing you talk! I hope I don’t get too twangy when I do mine :) I love this idea and I will definitely research how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if he could!
ps- I have never heard about the rules of workout style with the tight top and baggy bottom and vice versa….I guess I’ve been doing it all wrong!!!
lindsaymwright says:
But you look SO cute in your outfits…not like you’re trying hard at all! I just like baggier clothing.
Ameena says:
I envy your ability to put together a cohesive and very cute video! I am incapable of putting myself on camera so I admire those who can!
lindsaymwright says:
lol…I love that I’ve fooled you into believing I’m AT ALL put together. lol..PLEASE do a video, girl!
Katie says:
Oh my word, I’m in love with your accent (and you) – I’ve never heard it in your short TT videos!
Also, just so you know – this is like my worst nightmare to talk in front of a camera, but I’ll doing it for you anyway.
lindsaymwright says:
It’s Southern, with a hint of potpourri.
And thank you – can’t wait!
britt@knewlywifed says:
Oh please oh please someone help me figure out how to make a video and upload it! It would be soooo very fun!
Kristin @ eat healthy. be happy. live well. says:
Britt, I don’t know what kind of computer or camera you have, but I use my Macbook Pro to make my videos. I just set it up and use PhotoBooth (a program it comes with). Then, I load it onto iMovie (another program on the Mac) and I can upload the video directly to YouTube from there. I hope that helps!
Heather @ Better With Veggies says:
If you have a smartphone with video – you may be able to record it using the phone & use the Share feature to post it directly to YouTube.
Christin says:
a lot of digital cameras also have a video setting…I use my Kodak on the video setting, and then upload it to my computer, then to Youtube :)
Bonnie says:
Love this idea! How fun to include a rest day and a give everyone the chance to lean a little more about one another! Also, the “schweaty love story” made me smile. Love you two!
lindsaymwright says:
Bon – my plan is to have a rest week every once in a while and ask different questions every time! Will help us get to know each other’s personalities. How’s your day going?
