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

    A good ol’ push up 🙂



  2. Shannon on February 3, 2011 at 6:35 pm

    My favorite fitness move would have to be lunges! Simple but effective 🙂



  3. Jillian on February 3, 2011 at 6:36 pm

    i think… plank. needs to be done more in my life 🙂



  4. Erin D. on February 3, 2011 at 6:37 pm

    My favorite workout move? Corpse pose! My least favorite because it’s so tiring (but awesome at the same time)? Walking planks! Those things are so killer!!



  5. Anya on February 3, 2011 at 6:39 pm

    burpees with a pushup at the bottom OR the T-plank 🙂



  6. Rachel on February 3, 2011 at 6:41 pm

    Squat kicks! They burn so good! 🙂



  7. Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin on February 3, 2011 at 6:43 pm

  8. Danielle on February 3, 2011 at 6:44 pm

    Planksssss:)



  9. One Healthy Apple on February 3, 2011 at 6:44 pm

    I love mountain climbers- in the sense that they work and make me want to cry!



  10. Erin on February 3, 2011 at 6:46 pm

    I love mountain climbers!



  11. Christine on February 3, 2011 at 6:46 pm

    My favorite move would have to be bicycle crunches. Planks come in a close second.



  12. greenbean on February 3, 2011 at 6:46 pm

    lunges!



  13. Jen on February 3, 2011 at 6:52 pm

    My favs are push ups and bicycle crunches



  14. Nuffio on February 3, 2011 at 6:56 pm

    Definately lunges!!



  15. Kate on February 3, 2011 at 6:56 pm

    It was said earlier, but I agree – PLANKS! Simple, yet hits so many muscle groups at once!



  16. Darien on February 3, 2011 at 6:56 pm

    i love anything with smallish (5-10 lb) free weights for arms workouts. AND i liked you on FB:)



  17. Alyson on February 3, 2011 at 6:56 pm

    Jump Squats all the way!



  18. Tessa on February 3, 2011 at 6:56 pm

    Squat Jumps! They hurt so good 🙂



  19. Lauren on February 3, 2011 at 6:57 pm

    Jump Squats! Oh wait, that is my least favorite, LoL. But it’s seriously the one that kicks my butt every time so it’s secretly my favorite.



  20. Lindsay @Brownies For Brunch on February 3, 2011 at 6:59 pm

    I loveee the plank! I have had “olympic” competitons with my friends and the plank is always my forteit! It hurts but it hurts good 🙂



  21. Lindsay @Brownies For Brunch on February 3, 2011 at 6:59 pm

    I like on da FB!



  22. Julie on February 3, 2011 at 7:00 pm

    I love jump squats too!! <3 <3



  23. jen on February 3, 2011 at 7:00 pm

    without a doubt plank & side planks – love them.



  24. Jessica on February 3, 2011 at 7:02 pm

    LOVE planks!



  25. Melissa on February 3, 2011 at 7:05 pm

    I like bench press because I lift pretty heavy for a girl and it makes me feel all hulk-like



  26. Lisa H on February 3, 2011 at 7:09 pm

    Hands down…planks! Every”body” should love a strong core! Have been a reader of your blog…but also just liked you on FB!



  27. Erin @ the office appetite on February 3, 2011 at 7:13 pm

    My fav are planks – the sideways ones because they always make me feel super wobbly!



  28. Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter on February 3, 2011 at 7:14 pm

    Anything on the balance ball. They make my abs so flat.



  29. Anne Marie on February 3, 2011 at 7:14 pm

    There are currently 1,059 comments. Holy moly! If I get this it will be my lucky LIFE! Haha, I like plie squats, because they hurt so gooood.



  30. Jen on February 3, 2011 at 7:15 pm

    Pull ups! They make me feel like I can do anything! 😉



  31. Heather C on February 3, 2011 at 7:15 pm

    aahh burpees, really? I think my favorite is tricep dips – because I can instantly feel the muscle really working.



  32. Laura on February 3, 2011 at 7:19 pm

    I like squats the best. I feel really strong doing those since it’s my heaviest weight in Body Pump.



  33. Joanna on February 3, 2011 at 7:20 pm

    I’d have to say yoga moves…downward dog or tree pose.

    I’m already a facebook follower. 🙂



  34. Karen on February 3, 2011 at 7:21 pm

    Push-ups and all the variations. Such a good all over fitness move.



  35. Erin on February 3, 2011 at 7:22 pm

    Planks!



  36. theorist on February 3, 2011 at 7:22 pm

    child’s pose. good for physical fitness and digestive fitness :^)



  37. Alexandra on February 3, 2011 at 7:24 pm

    My favorite move has always been the bicycle crunch!



  38. Lisa on February 3, 2011 at 7:26 pm

    JUMPING LUNGES!!!!



  39. Amy on February 3, 2011 at 7:26 pm

    The ‘roons look delish! My favorite move has to be the squat. I used to dread doing them, but once I learned the proper form, they completely toned by lower half. Legs, glutes, abs….nothing has been so effective!



  40. Kat on February 3, 2011 at 7:27 pm

    Planks..only because when I’m done, I don’t have that far to fall to the floor 🙂



  41. ALEXIS on February 3, 2011 at 7:27 pm

    my favorite is between crunches and wall sits.



  42. bobbileigh on February 3, 2011 at 7:29 pm

    Of course I like you on FB and my fave move are squats, they feel easy for me but get my heart rate up and I can really feel them the next day.



  43. Laura on February 3, 2011 at 7:29 pm

    My favorite workout moves include anything on the Bosu Ball. That ball makes any moves that have become mundane or too easy on their own instantly harder!



  44. M.E. on February 3, 2011 at 7:30 pm

    going to have to go with burpees too. Even though they kill me!



  45. M.E. on February 3, 2011 at 7:30 pm

    I’m going to have to go with burpees too,even though they kill me!



  46. Jennie on February 3, 2011 at 7:32 pm

    Planks! And sometimes lunges as well.



  47. Wendy on February 3, 2011 at 7:32 pm

    Plank!



  48. Ariela on February 3, 2011 at 7:32 pm

    My all time favorite move? The pilates teaser! It took me years to work up to it, but I feel so strong and graceful when I do it :-).



  49. Kady on February 3, 2011 at 7:33 pm

    I really like floor sprints (in a love/hate kind of way)!



  50. Brianna on February 3, 2011 at 7:37 pm

    I love jump squats!! Basically move from Insanity too!
