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

  3. Amanda on February 3, 2011 at 10:44 am

  4. Valerie @ City|Life|Eats on February 3, 2011 at 10:44 am

    ALso, just liked you on FB.

    Wanted to thank you for the awesome almond butter promo. Artisana almond butter is super hard to find in my area and I love the single serve packets for travel 🙂



  5. claire! on February 3, 2011 at 10:44 am

    My favorite fitness move is the squat-press (there may be a more techincal term for it, but thats what I call it!). Hurts so good!



  6. Abby on February 3, 2011 at 10:44 am

    My favorite move would have to be Down Dog. Always feels so good!



  7. Rachel on February 3, 2011 at 10:44 am

    I’ve got to say push ups! I have a MAJOR love/hate relationship with them! lol

    YUMMMMMMMMMMM ROONS!!!!!!!! 🙂

    Can’t wait to hear about your thoughts about the detox.



  8. Megan on February 3, 2011 at 10:45 am

    I didn’t know you had a Facebook page! Exciting…I just “liked” it!

    My fav workout move is squats – it’s very satistfying to instantly feel the burn, and that area can always use some work, right 😉

    Your giveaway package looks amaazing!



  9. Holly on February 3, 2011 at 10:45 am

    My favorite move is real “man” pushups. I feel so strong every time I can do more than I did the day before!



  10. Janna on February 3, 2011 at 10:45 am

    Dolphin plank is my favorite move! It makes everything burn!



  11. Lili on February 3, 2011 at 10:45 am

    Power cleans! 🙂



  12. Sam on February 3, 2011 at 10:46 am

    Jumping lunges!



  13. Tammy on February 3, 2011 at 10:46 am

    Plain ol’ plank!



  14. Sherry on February 3, 2011 at 10:46 am

    This giveaway looks AMAZEBALLS!! I would love to win it!!

    My fav fitness moves change daily. I love lunges and squats, I love doing superwomans :), planks are vicious in a good way, and I love dead lifts those feel so good. Sorry it’s hard for me to pick just one!!



  15. Paula on February 3, 2011 at 10:47 am

    I adore the cobra pose in yoga!! It feels like I am opening myself up for a brand new day 🙂 I do it every morning!! I also love rooons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a superfabulous day!



  16. janae on February 3, 2011 at 10:47 am

    My favorite fitness move is squats. Looks like an awesome giveaway!



  17. Dawn on February 3, 2011 at 10:47 am

    Variations on planks are my fav right now! I already “like” you on facebook!



  18. Sara on February 3, 2011 at 10:48 am

    I love push ups! I couldn’t do them for the longest time so now I do them all the time! 🙂



  19. Liz on February 3, 2011 at 10:48 am

    When I first read the post, I thought you said favorite fitness “movies,” which got me thinking… obviously about the wrong thing! But, I do love Center Stage, which isn’t exactly fitness, but still.

    My favorite fitness move has got to be “high knees” with an added ab twist. It kills after about a minute, but I love it.



  20. Hanna on February 3, 2011 at 10:48 am

    My fab workout move is the walking lunges. Boring but hurts so good:)



  21. Emma on February 3, 2011 at 10:49 am

    My all time favourite workout move is a sit up! Boring and old school I know but I feel a sense of achievement every time I complete a set! Haha =)



  22. Lindsay on February 3, 2011 at 10:49 am

    My favorite fitness move might have to be a front squat push press. Its great for a full body strength move and gts your heart rate sky high!



  23. kt on February 3, 2011 at 10:49 am

    My favorite workout move…push-uos! So tough, but when done right, work my whole body!



  24. Erin on February 3, 2011 at 10:49 am

    I love jump squats.



  25. Kara on February 3, 2011 at 10:49 am

    I love a good dead lift!



  26. Steph on February 3, 2011 at 10:49 am

    I’ve like you FB for a while 🙂
    Fave move is a toss up between lunges and squats. I love that there are so many variations for both!



  27. aneessa on February 3, 2011 at 10:50 am

    ooooo! i just love what we call the “knee repeater” great ab crunch and glute toner!



  28. Jill on February 3, 2011 at 10:50 am

    Lunges, planks, and squats… I love how you feel noodle-y after you do them for a long time!



  29. Kathy on February 3, 2011 at 10:50 am

    If you consider running a workout move, then that’s it for me! haha I love a good downward dog, too, to get everything stretched and opened up. 🙂



  30. SaraRM on February 3, 2011 at 10:50 am

    Walking lunges!!! The are easy for me to do but hurt so good the next day (or2). No matter how good of shape im in, lunges always get me!



  31. Jaclyn on February 3, 2011 at 10:51 am

    I would say my fave fitness move is plank..anything to tighten up the abs 🙂



  32. Tamar on February 3, 2011 at 10:51 am

    I have a serious Love/Hate relationship with squats. Usually, it is more love:-)



  33. Jennie on February 3, 2011 at 10:52 am

    Wow, what a sweet giveaway (Larabars!)! My fav fitness move would be tricep dips.



  34. Kel on February 3, 2011 at 10:52 am

    My favorite move is wacky jacks from p90x! i like it because i can feel it work my core, it gets my heart rate up and its not too hard on the joints 🙂



  35. Amanda on February 3, 2011 at 10:52 am

    I love walking lunches!



  36. Hollie on February 3, 2011 at 10:52 am

    I never win anything!! Here’s hoping! 🙂

    Lunges. They work, and you can do so many variations and do them anywhere!

    Have a great day, Gina! 🙂



  37. Julie on February 3, 2011 at 10:53 am

    Pretty much any arm balance in yoga! Thanks for the giveaway!



  38. amber L on February 3, 2011 at 10:53 am

    Although they are not my legs’ favorite choice, my favorite is lunges and squats. Any variations too! They really help my legs tone up! Thanks for the AB deal. I am definitely taking advantage!!



  39. Claire on February 3, 2011 at 10:53 am

    I love planks! They do wonders for my abs.



  40. Christina on February 3, 2011 at 10:54 am

    PLANKS PLANKS PLANKS!!!! I lurve working my core 🙂
    p.s. you always have the most fabulous giveaways… Gina, YOU ROCK!



  41. Amanda on February 3, 2011 at 10:54 am

    *** i meant walking lunges!!

    Clearly lunch is on my mind!



  42. Betsy on February 3, 2011 at 10:54 am

    Turkish get-ups. TOTAL destruction.



  43. MaryZ on February 3, 2011 at 10:54 am

    Squats! Love feelin the burn!



  44. Laura on February 3, 2011 at 10:55 am

    Oooh I can’t stand burpees! I’ll keep practicing, though 🙂 My favorite are pushups and the many variations thereof – I’m inherently lazy, so a move that hits everything works for me!



  45. Kieri on February 3, 2011 at 10:55 am

    My favorite move are planks and side planks!! CORE CORE CORE!!



  46. erin on February 3, 2011 at 10:55 am

    Kettle bell swings and deadlift!



  47. Danielle on February 3, 2011 at 10:55 am

    My favorite moves would have to be the good ol’ squats and lunges. I feel like no matter how many times I do them I’m always challenged, and there are so many variations that you can do. I would also lunge more just so I could eat more macaroons!!



  48. Brianne on February 3, 2011 at 10:55 am

    I have to say push ups or planks… so many good ones!



  49. Tara on February 3, 2011 at 10:56 am

    Jump squats! They kill me, in a good way.



  50. Carla on February 3, 2011 at 10:56 am

    I think my favorite fitness move is calf raises (one leg at a time off a step). They hurt, but really feel like they’re working! 🙂
