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

  6. Emma on February 3, 2011 at 4:49 pm

    My exercise love is Burpies (Australians spell it with an i) and in particular I love me a German Kahuna Burpie. Regular Burpie + Push Up + 2 Knee Slaps + Pike Jump = German Kahuna 🙂



  7. Emma on February 3, 2011 at 4:49 pm

    PLANKS! side or regular i feel the burn either way 🙂



  8. Diana (Soap & Chocolate) on February 3, 2011 at 4:50 pm

    Fave fitness move = reggaeton Zumba routines. I’m a hippity hoppin beast. 🙂



  9. Melissa on February 3, 2011 at 4:51 pm

    I love running stairs! But a shuffle twist is a close 2nd!



  10. Tracey on February 3, 2011 at 4:51 pm

    You can’t beat a push-up…good form, on your toes! 🙂 I like that it engages so many muscles at one time.



  11. Kelly j on February 3, 2011 at 4:52 pm

    The pigeon pose really helps me stretch out my legs



  12. Melissa @ Vegan CacaoBee on February 3, 2011 at 4:53 pm

    I have two favorites…tricep push-ups and lunges 🙂 Both tough, but effective!



  13. Jodie on February 3, 2011 at 4:53 pm

    Fave fitness move: Terminator Climbers.



  14. Racheal on February 3, 2011 at 4:54 pm

    walking lunges, you get results!!!



  15. Mary on February 3, 2011 at 4:56 pm

    I love double unders (jump rope!)



  16. Bonnie on February 3, 2011 at 4:56 pm

    Love to do down dog to up dog vinyasa to build the heat. Once the heat is there– planks.



  17. Laura77 on February 3, 2011 at 4:56 pm

    I love lunges and squats….make your bum look so good 🙂



  18. Mary on February 3, 2011 at 4:57 pm

    aaand I liked you on Facebook! I thought I already had 🙂



  19. Stephanie on February 3, 2011 at 4:58 pm

    My fave fitness move is a tie between squats & planks! Both leave you feelin’ the burn 🙂



  20. Shelby on February 3, 2011 at 4:59 pm

    Definitely pilates side leg lifts and circles! The burn makes me want to keep going because the results are so amazing! 🙂



  21. BIOCHEMISTA on February 3, 2011 at 5:04 pm

    Amazing giveaway….As always 🙂

    I already follow you on Facebook 🙂



  22. Lindsey on February 3, 2011 at 5:05 pm

    For “getting it done” I love lunges. But I’ll never, ever forget being able to get into crane pose for the first time and even now I grin every time I do it 🙂



  23. Janice on February 3, 2011 at 5:05 pm

    Bench press definitely – makes me feel strong!



  24. BIOCHEMISTA on February 3, 2011 at 5:05 pm

    I favorite workout move is shoulder raises (with weights). I think one area of the body that’s easy to tone and very noticeable are nice shoulders 🙂



  25. Kate on February 3, 2011 at 5:06 pm

    Crow Pose! It makes me feel so strong, and when I balance in it, I feel more balanced for the rest of the day.
    And a quick question, do your open sky promos ship internationally? Just for future reference….haha.



  26. kat on February 3, 2011 at 5:07 pm

    HEY Gina, my fave fitness move of all time is definitely a burpee with high knees and butt-kicks in between…total body toning, love it! and love ur blog 🙂



  27. Marisa C. on February 3, 2011 at 5:08 pm

    I love push ups! And all sorts of yoga moves. 🙂



  28. Meg on February 3, 2011 at 5:08 pm

    Plank twists!



  29. Jill on February 3, 2011 at 5:12 pm

    Happy baby in yoga. You really can’t beat it!



  30. Heather on February 3, 2011 at 5:15 pm

    Roonies!!!! My fave is lunges with weights, hard, but I love the results <3



  31. Jennie (in Wonderland) on February 3, 2011 at 5:17 pm

    Rooons!

    I love lunges. Especially with the proper form; they work sooo well.

    PS: I already ‘like’ you on FB, silly!! 🙂



  32. Jess on February 3, 2011 at 5:17 pm

    I found you a couple weeks ago and am loving your blog! My favorite fitness move is most definitely the plank. We used to play duck duck goose in one of my favorite classes where you had to be in plank if waiting to be called.



  33. Ashley @ Will Run for Food on February 3, 2011 at 5:17 pm

    Hmmm…possibly crunches? Though I don’t do them often enough! 🙂



  34. tara on February 3, 2011 at 5:17 pm

    I liked the fitnessista on facebook!



  35. Yvonne on February 3, 2011 at 5:17 pm

    Great giveaway! I agree, burpees are killer!!



  36. tara on February 3, 2011 at 5:18 pm

    My favorite workout move is definitely planks. Recently my trainer and I did the craziest version of a burpee! I don’t know if you’ve ever tried it, but as I kicked my legs out behind I went down into a pushup. It was killer!



  37. Alexandra on February 3, 2011 at 5:19 pm

    Planks are amazing and killer at the same time. Definitely my favourite!



  38. Laura @ Backstage Pass on February 3, 2011 at 5:19 pm

    Awesome giveaway!!! 🙂
    My favorite workout move of all time is the squat. Works the glutes, hamstrings, core, quads and calves all in one efficient movement? Love it!



  39. Laura @ Backstage Pass on February 3, 2011 at 5:19 pm

    Also – I “Like” you on Facebook! 🙂



  40. Heather on February 3, 2011 at 5:20 pm

    Pushups. Hands down, it’s the move that makes me feel like a stud! haha



  41. Jennie on February 3, 2011 at 5:21 pm

    squats



  42. rebecca on February 3, 2011 at 5:22 pm

    squat jumps and lunge jumps. when i’m doing them consistently i see such results!



  43. Ashley on February 3, 2011 at 5:22 pm

    my favorite fitness move? pullups! they make me feel so strong! but full disclosure – i cant do them. i use the assisted pullup machine… that counts, right? 😉



  44. Alexis on February 3, 2011 at 5:23 pm

    I have quite the love/hate relationship with lunges. Don’t like doing them, but boy do they get results!



  45. Krista (kristastes) on February 3, 2011 at 5:23 pm

    My favorite is the good old squat! 🙂



  46. Nicole A on February 3, 2011 at 5:23 pm

    I love doing all sorts of different crunches on the exercise ball! And gotta love lunges & squats for those buns! Great giveaway!



  47. fittingbackin on February 3, 2011 at 5:24 pm

    I’d say lunges!

  48. Bonnie on February 3, 2011 at 5:25 pm

    Gotta love old fashioned pushups!



  49. Julia on February 3, 2011 at 5:26 pm

    my all time favorite is the eight angles yoga pose. the first time I did it I felt so strong and it’s still my favorite!



  50. daisy melo on February 3, 2011 at 5:27 pm
