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

    Sun salutations! And I’ve been following you on Facebook, girl. 🙂



  8. Jillian on February 3, 2011 at 1:35 pm

    My fav would have to be the plank. Nothing works your abs quicker!



  9. Dana on February 3, 2011 at 1:36 pm

    No wonder you are a fitness instructor with your favorite move being burpees. I can’t stand those! Haha! I’d have to say my favorite fitness move is anything with shoulders – maybe overhead press.



  10. Jenna on February 3, 2011 at 1:36 pm

    My favorite fitness move would definitely be plank. Or plank-ing? Either way, I love how good I feel about myself when I can hold it for a way long time!
    “Liked” on Facebook: check!



  11. Reagan on February 3, 2011 at 1:37 pm

    I love to hate burpees!



  12. Sarah S-F on February 3, 2011 at 1:37 pm

    Great giveaway! I will say push-ups. Even though they are brutal they are a great move.



  13. Katy on February 3, 2011 at 1:38 pm

    I’m gonna go with side plank! I did burpees for the first time last night… don’t think I’m a fan haha 😉



  14. Reagan on February 3, 2011 at 1:38 pm

    I also liked you on facebook!



  15. Samantha on February 3, 2011 at 1:38 pm

    I LOVE BURPEES!!!! They’ve sculpted my arms better and faster than lifting weights ever has, and they’re a good cardio blast!



  16. Teresa on February 3, 2011 at 1:38 pm

    Super SImple Dinner = Super Delicious! Yum! Thanks for the giveaway- I have a blasty virtually hanging out with you too 🙂

    My favorite fitness moves are anything with a stability ball. Especially ab rolls!



  17. Samantha on February 3, 2011 at 1:38 pm

    I liked you on Facebook 🙂



  18. Teresa on February 3, 2011 at 1:39 pm

  19. Maria on February 3, 2011 at 1:39 pm

    Wall squats!! I am already a faithful FB follower 😉



  20. Monica on February 3, 2011 at 1:39 pm

    Planks on a bosu ball! I hope I win, your giveaways are always amazing!



  21. Jessica on February 3, 2011 at 1:40 pm

    Holy comments!
    My favorite fitness move is either pushups or planks. I’m bad at both but love how you can really see an improvement as you get stronger.



  22. Amanda @ Cakes and Ale on February 3, 2011 at 1:41 pm

    My all time fave move is downward facing dog. I bust it out everywhere!



  23. Coleen on February 3, 2011 at 1:41 pm

    Lunges. That is one move where I usually really feel it the next day.
    I already like you on facebook.



  24. Amanda on February 3, 2011 at 1:41 pm

    I love planks! A great multitasker.



  25. Erica on February 3, 2011 at 1:42 pm

    I feel so strong when I do JUMP SQUATS! We have a love/hate relationship 😉

    And I’ve always liked you on Facebook! xo



  26. Kimberly @ Healthy Strides on February 3, 2011 at 1:42 pm

    My favorite move is the chaturanga. It took me forever to be able to do them so it was uber rewarding when I got there. Plus, there are fantastic for the arms!



  27. Ashley @ Healthy Heroine on February 3, 2011 at 1:42 pm

    I liked you on Facebook! 🙂



  28. Allison on February 3, 2011 at 1:42 pm

    This may sound weird but wheel pose in yoga is a great fitness move. It stretches (the abs) and strengthens (arms/legs) at the same time. Already liked you on fb!



  29. Misty on February 3, 2011 at 1:43 pm

    My favorite move is either the plank or the astronaut. I already “like” you!!!!



  30. kate on February 3, 2011 at 1:43 pm

    call me classic but i love planks!



  31. Sarra on February 3, 2011 at 1:43 pm

    My favorite fitness move is the “jab & cross”. I pretend I’m punching away my fears 😉



  32. Amanda Hinderliter on February 3, 2011 at 1:43 pm

    My fave workout right now is kettlebells – I’m in love! My fave move is push ups – I love that I can do a bunch of them and everyone is always impressed!



  33. Brie @ Brie Fit on February 3, 2011 at 1:44 pm

    I’m a squat junkie!



  34. Ashley @ Healthy Heroine on February 3, 2011 at 1:44 pm

    I love (and occasionally hate) push ups. Finishing a set of push ups leaves me with a great feeling of accomplishment and strength.



  35. Jessica on February 3, 2011 at 1:45 pm

    Blurpees?! I resent blurpees so much, but they are quite effective! I love push ups on the ball – feet on the ball, hands on the floor. You have to engage your abs to keep your stable so its an added bonus to a regular push-up!



  36. Laurel on February 3, 2011 at 1:45 pm

    Planks…



  37. Laurel on February 3, 2011 at 1:45 pm

    I liked you on FB….



  38. Sarah on February 3, 2011 at 1:46 pm

    I’d go old school with bicep curls – simple but effective!!



  39. Maren on February 3, 2011 at 1:47 pm

    Jump squats!! My legs get soooo sore from them anytime I do them!!



  40. Tayla on February 3, 2011 at 1:47 pm

    Hmmm…..I’m gonna go with jumping rope 🙂



  41. Maren on February 3, 2011 at 1:48 pm

  42. Donna Porter on February 3, 2011 at 1:48 pm

    I am also a “liker” on Facebook..have been so long that it should say “LOVE” instead of “LIKE” 🙂



  43. Lisa on February 3, 2011 at 1:48 pm

    I already like you on facebook!

    For me it’s a tie between planks and lunges while doing bicep curls 🙂



  44. Denise on February 3, 2011 at 1:49 pm

    favorite fitness move is dancing on a mini-tramp! Great Carioca for leaning out and sweating without adding bulk!
    I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to try some roons



  45. Chelsea on February 3, 2011 at 1:51 pm

    Side plank!

    I already like you on FB :).



  46. Patricia on February 3, 2011 at 1:53 pm

    Plank!! So simple, yet theres always room for improvement (that extra 30 seconds is always a little more challenging!)



  47. Catherine on February 3, 2011 at 1:53 pm

    My favorite move is plank, with alternating arms and legs!



  48. Tamara on February 3, 2011 at 1:54 pm

    Does skipping count? Hopefully! If not..then box jumps.

    I’m a long time “like”r.



  49. Maura on February 3, 2011 at 1:54 pm
