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

    HIIT workouts! They still get me dripping sweat every time but I can tell I am growing stronger and faster because of them.



  2. Melissa on February 3, 2011 at 4:11 pm

    My favorite is definitely box jumps with a squat. Burpee’s used to kick my butt, but Box jumps are my new nemesis! Gotta love the burn!!!



  3. marisa j on February 3, 2011 at 4:12 pm

    I love Planks!



  4. erica l on February 3, 2011 at 4:12 pm

  5. Catherine C. on February 3, 2011 at 4:12 pm

    Lunges and I have a love/hate relationship! Right now, I’m loving them! They make my legs and booty look tight and tone!



  6. Lisa on February 3, 2011 at 4:14 pm

    I would love to try your roons!! My favorite workout moves are backward lunges (though I don’t like forward ones) and shoulder raises. I love shoulder workouts bc I see the definition right away!



  7. Whitney on February 3, 2011 at 4:14 pm

    My fave fitness move would have to be push ups!They’re super challenging and u use ur whole body:)

  11. Kelsey on February 3, 2011 at 4:19 pm

    My favorite move is a straight leg deadlift. They make me feel strong!



  12. Vanessa on February 3, 2011 at 4:19 pm

    My favorite fitness move changes all the time, but currently it’s a squirm — boy do my abs feel it the next day! Courtesy of Jillian Michaels!



  13. Anu on February 3, 2011 at 4:20 pm

    pike/knee tuck combo on the stability ball!



  14. Ashley on February 3, 2011 at 4:20 pm

    Well, right now since I have a broken foot and am very limited,I am really into doing skull crushers. I can listen to the doctor and take it easy, but I’ll never stop working out my arms! When I can stand, I like doing side lunges cause it feels so good to get the inside of my thigh… yeah, it’s not extreme, but I love em.



  15. Joanne on February 3, 2011 at 4:22 pm

    Love the old school push-ups 🙂



  16. Sara on February 3, 2011 at 4:22 pm

  20. Ari @ The Diva Dish on February 3, 2011 at 4:24 pm

    I love your short blast of cardio! You did a video on it, and it love it! I have a 6 month old and sometime don’t get “30 minutes” of cardio in…all together…lol But short cardio moves adds up =]



  21. Carla on February 3, 2011 at 4:24 pm

  26. Caryn on February 3, 2011 at 4:27 pm

    dang! if you ever open a roon shop, i think you’d have a booming business! 🙂 i think i have a three way tie for my favorite fitness moves: forearm stands, roundhouse kicks, and jump squats.



  27. Amelia on February 3, 2011 at 4:27 pm

    I agree that burpees are awesome, but I really LOVE squats!



  28. Mandy on February 3, 2011 at 4:27 pm

    Planks for sure! They work EVERYTHING!



  29. Hannah on February 3, 2011 at 4:28 pm

  39. Susan on February 3, 2011 at 4:34 pm

    I’ve been dying to try your macaroons- I’ve heard great things!! Favorite exercise is lunges with weights.



  40. molly on February 3, 2011 at 4:35 pm

    What an amazing giveaway! My favorite move would probably be planks. Simple but effective!



  41. Alicia Plascencia on February 3, 2011 at 4:36 pm

    My all time favorite fitness move is the good ol’ squat. So simple and so effective!



  42. Victoria on February 3, 2011 at 4:36 pm

    sumo squats or side plank with rotation. Burpees are freakin’ awesome, though, too!



  43. Marianne Soukas on February 3, 2011 at 4:38 pm

    Hello Fitnessita!

    I’ve been wanting to talk to someone about this, and you’re the only one I “know” who’s gone through it. I’ve been vegan for years, and recently added dairy, and now added chicken as of yesterday. I am wondering how you explained it to everyone who makes you feel bad about your choice, and how you explain that you won’t be eating steak now that you’re eating chicken. I’m also feeling like I’m being selfish by eating it, and don’t know quite how to make it pass. I keep telling myself that people will always eat chicken, so my support of locally raised and well treated chickens does more than completely abstaining from it.

    I hope you’re okay talking about this.

    P.S. I have a food blog too, and I’m super nervous about telling my blog readers. Any tips?



  44. Nancy on February 3, 2011 at 4:38 pm

    Squat with press. More bang for your buck. 🙂



  45. Molly on February 3, 2011 at 4:40 pm

  46. mavis on February 3, 2011 at 4:42 pm

    squats with weights….feel the burn 🙂



  47. Paige on February 3, 2011 at 4:42 pm

    Keepin’ it classic: I adore crunches.



  48. Jenna on February 3, 2011 at 4:43 pm

    favorite fitness move? definitely Superman’s….Supermen? hmm. Either way, we have a love/hate relationship. 🙂



  49. Arden on February 3, 2011 at 4:43 pm
