New Workout Playlists
I always thought the Workout in the Park would be fun (I’ve been reading about it for years), but it just never seem to work with my schedule. Is anyone else planning on attending any of the events listed above, or have you attended in the past?
Word on the street is that Dolvett Quince (the awesome trainer on The Biggest Loser) is hosting the events…
Oh, what I would give to have him be my trainer…even if just for a day. 
Question for the Afternoon:
If you could workout with any celebrity trainer, who would you pick?
Jillian Michaels!
Honestly, I’d love to have Jillian Michaels or Bob Harper for a day. Both have different training styles but both get amazing results. I feel like I could learn a lot from them both!
I’ve been three times in the past ten years and am going to the May 12th event this year!! They get better and better each year, and I’m looking forward to this year’s event!!
I honestly have no idea who I would pick to be my personal trainer. I would need a special kind of person to keep me motivated. Workout in the park would be fun!!!
Oh I would love to train with Dolvett or Bob from The Biggest Loser! I love that so many bloggers have been posting new playlists. I was in a huge music funk :)
I love seeing other peoples workout playlists! Im always curious what others listen to when they workout and it gives me some new ideas to add to mine. I cannot help but to also point out how insanely ripped Dolvet is in that pic. Oh my goodness!
I have only heard of Jillian Michaels, so probably her. She’d most likely make me cry and feel crappy about myself though. But it’s good to have a trainer that really pushes people to their limit.
What about Jackie Warner … that’s her name right? I’d be curious to see what a workout with her would be like!
I would love to attend that event! I’ve always thought that it sounded like so much fun :). I would love to train with Bob Harper…he just always seems awesome haha. But since my fiance is a trainer, I’m happy to let him train me too ;).
Oh Dolvett! He is so gorgeous! But if it were Bob I would totally drive to New York for this event.
Do you count as a celebrity? I think you do! I’d love to workout with you :) Hope that doesn’t sound to sad, but sure we’re all ordinary people at the end of the day (or celebrities whichever way you want to look at it!)
Oh my gosh, Michelle, you are TOO sweet!! Haha, I’d love to work out with you too! :-D
If you ever visit Ireland make sure to give me a shout!!!
Will do!! My husband would LOVE to visit Ireland (as would I!). It’s on our “list” :)
I live in Wicklow, just on the border of county Dublin, you’re 10 minutes from the mountains (though think you can officially call them that) and then only about 30 minutes to the city center. Best of both worlds. Wicklow is a must not miss in Ireland.
I live about 3 hours from Chicago, so I’m kind of tempted to go…maybe if it were a little closer!
Wow, I would love to go to Self event in SF. Looks like fun. Thanks for sharing!
This event looks great, thanks for sharing! And thanks for the playlists — I need new music motivation today like no other!
Would love to go to this … Looks like so much fun! I’d love to work out with Jillian Michaels. She’s tough but she gets results :)
Oh em gee. Dolvett is hawwwwwwwt!!! I’d workout with him :)
I’m all signed up and ready to go!
I love looking at other peoples’ playlists! I always get new ideas from them.
I’d have to choose between either Jillian or Bob – I love both of them!
If Dolvett looks in real life as good as he does in this pic I’d workout with him till I dropped dead of exhaustion, then I’d get up and do it again!
I’d choose you as my workout buddy too :-) Hehe!
I think I would choose Gina, the famous Zumba instructor to teach me how to properly shake it before I start instructing my 1st class haha!!
Awww YAY! How fun! :-D
You know, Dolvet would be on the top of my list. :) I think that the workout in the park is such a great idea! :) Even if you live in a small town you could organize something like this! :)
Bob Harper!! Even though I’m pretty sure he bats for the other team, I still think he’s super dreamy and would want to date me if we ever met.
Too much? ;)
Haha, I think that’s perfectly acceptable ;)
I have to be In San Francisco and join. Sounds exciting.
I went to self’s workout in the park in Chicago a few years ago, hosted by Jillian michaels. I mainly went to see her!
