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

  13. Kari Colchin on February 3, 2011 at 5:48 pm

    My fave move jump squats! Plyo moves kick butt….literally!



  14. Natalia - a side of simple on February 3, 2011 at 5:48 pm

    Lunges! Though I don’t think so when I’m doing them 😉



  15. breakingsilence @ Freshman -15 on February 3, 2011 at 5:49 pm

    I love doing lunges or the bridge after a power walk.

    Oh, and I’m a fan on Facebook.



  16. julie on February 3, 2011 at 5:50 pm

  19. Kim on February 3, 2011 at 5:53 pm

    Love your blog. Does downward dog count as a “move”? 🙂



  20. Sally on February 3, 2011 at 5:53 pm

    I like lunges!



  21. Katirie on February 3, 2011 at 5:54 pm

    Pull-ups or hang squat cleans!



  22. Jenn K on February 3, 2011 at 5:54 pm

    Hello!
    My favorite fitness move is the lumberjack move using a weighted ball. It always gives me a heightened respect for lumberjacks, haha! And it kills my arms and abs, but in a good way 🙂 Hope you have a terrific day!



  23. Leilani on February 3, 2011 at 5:54 pm

    my favorite would be the squat!



  24. Amy Bee on February 3, 2011 at 5:57 pm

    Oh wow I would like to win a giveaway!

    My fav move would be the squat! Love it!



  25. Annette on February 3, 2011 at 5:58 pm

    I “liked” the fitnessista on FB 🙂



  26. Heather Eats Almond Butter on February 3, 2011 at 5:59 pm

    Burpees are your favorite? Really? Haha, definitely my least favorite. I love pigeon pose. That count? 😉



  27. Tracy on February 3, 2011 at 6:02 pm

    I love/hate dead lift-lunge backs!



  28. Jess on February 3, 2011 at 6:04 pm

    Side planks are definitely my favorite—the stretch feels so good.



  29. Kayla on February 3, 2011 at 6:05 pm

    Lunges! Ohmygoodness, the burn tells you they work!



  30. Laura on February 3, 2011 at 6:06 pm

    crunches



  31. Ashley on February 3, 2011 at 6:08 pm

    Walking planks……ewwwww…….but so effective!!!!



  32. Divya Vikram on February 3, 2011 at 6:14 pm

    Push ups and lunges!



  33. Suzanne on February 3, 2011 at 6:14 pm

    Rotating Side Planks! 🙂



  34. Amy on February 3, 2011 at 6:17 pm

    good old fashioned squats! With a jump! But not now, because I’m pregnant! But all the other time



  35. Gina on February 3, 2011 at 6:17 pm

    I love my foam roller and I use it every am to work on my tired muscles!! So, I’d say it’s my favorite fitness move…..before my work out even happens!!! 🙂



  36. Kristin Guess on February 3, 2011 at 6:18 pm

    I like doing a bridge on an exercise ball. I extend my legs and bring them in, but never let my hips touch the ground. It is AMAZING for your hamstrings. I can always feel it for a few days after, but whenever I go to sit and I feel the soreness I can’t help but smile because I know my body is getting stronger =)
    I don’t know if I explained it well so here are links to a couple of pictures:

    After about a minute I promise you’ll feel the burn!

  37. wendy on February 3, 2011 at 6:19 pm

    My favorite “move” right now is probably plank.



  38. Stephanie on February 3, 2011 at 6:19 pm

    Great giveaway! I love plank! One armed plank kills me so good 😉



  39. Hilary on February 3, 2011 at 6:20 pm

    I love/hate the plank…it is tough to motivate myself to do it, but I know it will help me get good results.



  40. wendy on February 3, 2011 at 6:20 pm

    And I also “liked” you on Facebook. I like you for real too:)



  41. Amanda on February 3, 2011 at 6:21 pm

    I’m always a fan of regular crunches, with some bicycle crunches thrown in for good measure



  42. Monica on February 3, 2011 at 6:21 pm

    Oh how fun! Plank and lunges because I feel them the next day!



  43. Natalie on February 3, 2011 at 6:23 pm

    <3 squats!



  44. meghan on February 3, 2011 at 6:24 pm

    Sumo squats!!! LOVE them. I also have a love/hate relationship with pushups. Well..more of a hate/hate but I like that they make me buff looking…



  45. Lauren B on February 3, 2011 at 6:26 pm

    PLANKS….I like to say arghhhh while doing them to really complete the pirate effect. ;0



  46. Diana on February 3, 2011 at 6:27 pm

    I love crunches and ab work, bicycle crunches and planks in particular!



  47. Allie M on February 3, 2011 at 6:27 pm

    All time favorite fitness move is definitely the push up.



  48. Olivia N. on February 3, 2011 at 6:28 pm

    I really love side planks for some reason.



  49. Lindsey on February 3, 2011 at 6:30 pm

    Although I love planks (yea I’m sick like that) lunges with weights always make me wake up the next morning knowing i worked my muscles hard 🙂



  50. Stacey on February 3, 2011 at 6:30 pm

    I love planks! They are awesome!
