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

    walking lunges and planks!



  2. Liz on February 3, 2011 at 2:28 pm

    Squats! I can tolerate them more than lunges and they work a lot of muscles at once, although down dogs and yoga have been winning out more recently.



  3. Christina on February 3, 2011 at 2:29 pm

    You know, I’ve never had a raw roon!!! I know, crazy!! I’m dying to try one so I hope I win!

    My fav move is a mix between a lunge and warrior pose 🙂



  4. Danielle on February 3, 2011 at 2:30 pm

    My favourite move is a flipturn in the pool – I’m not the best at it but I like it!



  5. nadia on February 3, 2011 at 2:31 pm

    the plank! simple and effective!



  6. Anne@MyZenPulse on February 3, 2011 at 2:32 pm

    I am LOVING standing cable lunge + row drivers… It’s like a crane lunge on redbull!



  7. Jordan on February 3, 2011 at 2:32 pm

    Jump squats and I liked you on fb!



  8. Amanda on February 3, 2011 at 2:33 pm

    Overhead tricep extension! I love working my triceps for some reason. I used to love the squat machine at my gym, but they got a new one and it’s not nearly as amazing.



  9. mama on February 3, 2011 at 2:33 pm

    i think curtsy lunges are an all time favorite of mine! I always feel the burn the next day after i do them!



  10. Amanda on February 3, 2011 at 2:34 pm

    You’re quite liked on fbook 🙂



  11. Courtney (greeneyedrunner) on February 3, 2011 at 2:34 pm

    Shaun T’s power squats! and plie squats, and lunges, and randomly going up into half-handstand on the walls…I guess I can’t pick just one! I definitely love the power squats though.



  12. Cory on February 3, 2011 at 2:36 pm

    Dead lifts into overhead press! I feel the burn every time!!



  13. Marianne in Auburn on February 3, 2011 at 2:37 pm

    Favorite fitness move for cardio interval training has to be Mary Katherines aka (plyometric) jumping lunges. Just want to scream Superstar while doing though 😉 Guaranteed to get the old heart rate up! For weights I would have to say anything that works my triceps especially kickbacks and dips.



  14. Elina (Healthy and Sane) on February 3, 2011 at 2:37 pm

    Chest press because I can lift a lot and I feel bad ass 😉



  15. Alex on February 3, 2011 at 2:37 pm

    Can’t go wrong with good ole planks



  16. Kayla (Little Miss Healthify) on February 3, 2011 at 2:39 pm

  18. Chantal on February 3, 2011 at 2:41 pm

    Burpees are my nemesis! I wish they weren’t though! I’ve always luuuurved lat pulldowns though! That or shoulder shrugs…



  19. Sasha on February 3, 2011 at 2:41 pm

    I love the C-curve (learned in Core Fusion classes at Exhale)…really works your core!



  20. Nicole on February 3, 2011 at 2:42 pm

    my fave workout move is the plank…i love seeing how long I can hold it and set goals!



  21. Liz on February 3, 2011 at 2:42 pm

  24. Chantal on February 3, 2011 at 2:43 pm

  28. Josie on February 3, 2011 at 2:48 pm

    I’ve liked you on facebook for awhile! ; ) I love burpees and mountain climbers, but to really make me feel strong, I like the over head press. I don’t know why I just do.

    Thanks!



  29. Michelle on February 3, 2011 at 2:50 pm

    My all time favorite move are mountain climbers! They are kinda torture but I love them!!! :). And I already like you on FB. 🙂



  30. Alice on February 3, 2011 at 2:51 pm

    Favorite move is the plank and moving in and out of variations of the plank. They’re always a challenge and leave me feeling powerful when I complete a set 🙂



  31. AJ on February 3, 2011 at 2:51 pm

    I know it may seem boring and old school but I love a good push up! Despite being a little more “curvy” than the average fitness enthusiast, I like to imagine I’m as buff as GI jane when I do a push up! haha!



  32. Jen on February 3, 2011 at 2:52 pm

    I LOVE burpees! Is that weird?



  33. Allie on February 3, 2011 at 2:52 pm

    Hmm..thats tough..I am super into planks these days…side and regular on a bosu ball! =)

    Dolphin push-ups!!



  37. Errign on February 3, 2011 at 2:53 pm

    I am all about step-ups on the weight bench and push ups. I lurve push ups.



  38. Rachael on February 3, 2011 at 2:54 pm

    My favorite move is curtsy lunge with an overhead press.



  39. Shareece on February 3, 2011 at 2:56 pm

    Burpees!



  40. Steph51 on February 3, 2011 at 2:56 pm

    Not sure what it’s called, but it’s a Pilates exercise (at least we do it in Pilates class), you’re on all fours and then you can do all kinds of fun stuff with your legs, extend them sideways, up, down, knee crosses down behing the other leg, leg pulses to the ceiling etc. You can also extend one arm and pull the leg and the other arm in – so many ways to work out! And I always feel it, so it should be working :-).
    I love the give away – I never found any mung bean pasta, so I would love to try it!



  41. sana on February 3, 2011 at 2:57 pm

    Pushups! I also add planks and side planks in between sets!



  42. Erika on February 3, 2011 at 2:58 pm

    I love lunges….forward, lateral, reverse…my favorite is with the back leg on a bench….tough but so awesome 🙂



  43. Alicai on February 3, 2011 at 2:58 pm

    The best are the basics push ups/squats. They are always hard and make you feel strong!



  44. Abigail on February 3, 2011 at 2:59 pm
