BLP Ep #286: Planning Your 2026 Fitness Goals

January 19, 2026

In today’s episode, I bring in an expect to talk about a very common January phenomenon: fitness goals!

First, I chat about the (forced) evolution of my own fitness goals — it’s been a journey, but I feel like I am in a good place right now.

look at me actually using my Hobonichi Weeks this year!!

And here’s what my CG Iron Series tracking looks like in Apple Notes:

Tracking the weights so that hopefully I can gradually increase over the course of the year and compare round to round!

Then, I interview Meg Olander, personal trainer and certified group fitness coach about how to set fitness goals that are realistic AND effective. Meg has years of experience to draw from, and in the discussion she shares her favorite strategies for success, from planning and prioritizing to avoiding optimization to accountability.

Meg’s podcast- coffee AND weights AND a microphone? Basically my life in a photo.
JK but love this.

You can find more from Meg at her website and her podcast, Redesigning Health & Home – she does offer private virtual training if that’s an option you are looking for!

Meg requested I include this note: This episode is for entertainment and informational purposes only. Always consult your physician before starting or changing any exercise program, especially with any health conditions or concerns.
