How bout a roon?

February 3, 2011 |

Heyyyyyy 😀 How are you? It’s almost Friday! I guess the Superbowl is this weekend? No idea who’s playing, haha.

After class last night (we had 6 people! yeahh!), I came home for a super simple yet delicious dinner:

dinner

Roasted fennel and carrots, red quinoa and organic pinto beans

While I made dinner, I also packed today’s lunch so I wouldn’t have to deal with it this morning 😉

salad

Salad with bell peppers, fresh guacamole (onion, avocado, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, sea salt, lemon juice, pepper), salsa for dressing + a blueberry smoothie + an apple

    My favorite fitness move is a kettle bell clean and press, I feel those everywhere! There is an instructor at my gym that loooves burpees, he ends every class he teaches with 1 minute of burpees.



  3. Sandy on February 3, 2011 at 12:35 pm

    Favourite workout move: squats!! Yay how fun… haha

  5. Cellabella on February 3, 2011 at 12:37 pm

    I love downward dog and a good set of bicycle crunches!



  6. Christine on February 3, 2011 at 12:37 pm

    Push-ups! They’re classic for a reason 😉



  7. Cyndi on February 3, 2011 at 12:37 pm

    Plank, trying to get these 49 yr old abs looking summer ready and it is helping!



  8. Holly on February 3, 2011 at 12:38 pm

    Favorite all time move- Plie squats with lots of weight! 🙂
    I like you on FB!
    Love those ‘roons!! 🙂



  9. Hannah on February 3, 2011 at 12:38 pm

    Its not really a “move” but I love jump roping! I didn’t really think about it until we did it one day in my aerobics class and I forgot how much fun it could be. 🙂



  10. Rose on February 3, 2011 at 12:38 pm

    The plank is my all time favorite move! Cruches are so old school!



  11. stacey w. on February 3, 2011 at 12:39 pm

    I love the saxon sidebends! I also have to tell you, I ordered new clothes from lululemon and they are amazing! So comfortable and cute and worth every penny! I love the shopping bag that comes with them- it is so inspiring!



  12. Casey on February 3, 2011 at 12:39 pm

    What a great give-away! I’m a huge fan of weighted squats 🙂



  13. Molly on February 3, 2011 at 12:39 pm

    Squats! There are a few variations of them that I really like.



  14. Stephanie on February 3, 2011 at 12:39 pm

    Officially liked on FB. I’m a huge fan of push-ups lately (not-so-fun-fact – back in HS, I destroyed my shoulder so badly that I could barely push myself up in bed, nevermind do a push-up. Failed that part of the President’s test thingy. So, now that I can do 20 in a shot, it’s pretty frickin’ awesome.)



  15. Ada on February 3, 2011 at 12:40 pm

    My favorite fitness moves are burpees as well!



  16. nicole on February 3, 2011 at 12:40 pm

    I really like tricep kick-backs, but my favorite move is a plank! I got up to holding it for two minutes a few months ago and I need to get back to that 🙂



  17. Kathryn on February 3, 2011 at 12:41 pm

    My favorite fitness move is a pushup..so many variations and you dont need anything!!!

    What a delicious giveaway 🙂



  18. Ashley on February 3, 2011 at 12:41 pm

    G!
    My all time FAV fitness move has to be the jump squat! My Rumpelstiltskin requires a bit of lifting and the jump adds in a jolt of cardio. My man loves my bum as much as I do, all thanks to this move 🙂



  19. Jen R. on February 3, 2011 at 12:42 pm

    Ahhh I can see the packaging of the mung bean pasta! Yay for roons 🙂 My fave fitness move is probably the plank with some variations thrown in there (like you showed us in your video) – brining your knees in diagonally is pretty amazing.



  20. Beverly on February 3, 2011 at 12:42 pm

    I love a good old-fashioned squat. I could do them all day and they are so effective.



  21. Laura on February 3, 2011 at 12:43 pm

    is it copying if I say Burpees too? I didn’t know what they were until last month when I met with a personal trainer and she incorporated them into my strength training plan (to learn new exercises in becoming a buff bride for my wedding in May!) They are brutal but at the same time, I love them because I can feel a difference.



  22. Kelly F. on February 3, 2011 at 12:43 pm

    Good old-fashioned lunges work like no other move! Tough, but effective!



  23. Janet on February 3, 2011 at 12:44 pm

    Walking lunges with weights! I can feel the burn just typing this!!



  24. Maryann on February 3, 2011 at 12:45 pm

    My favorite fitness move is any type of ab exercise!



  25. Janet on February 3, 2011 at 12:45 pm

    And I already like the Fitnessista on Facebook if this counts too 🙂



  26. Maryann on February 3, 2011 at 12:46 pm

  27. Jessica @ Healthy Dairyland on February 3, 2011 at 12:46 pm

    I love lunges! Well actually I hate lunges, but I love what they do for my legs and booty. It’s a love-hate relationship.



  28. Kelly on February 3, 2011 at 12:47 pm

    Upright rows, love getting definition in my shoulders!

  33. Jenn on February 3, 2011 at 12:49 pm

  34. Fallon on February 3, 2011 at 12:49 pm
