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

    My fave move is wall squats! I hate holding myself in a wall squat but love the way it makes my legs feel after.



  2. Jenn on February 3, 2011 at 8:39 pm

    Definitely squats–makes me sore–in the best way:-)!



  3. Brittany on February 3, 2011 at 8:40 pm

    Side planks are my all time favorite move 🙂



  4. Gabby on February 3, 2011 at 8:42 pm

    Sprint intervals! 20 minutes of bliss! 2 min incline power walk + 2 min sprint + 1 min walk. 4x



  5. Jessica on February 3, 2011 at 8:42 pm

    I’m all about the powerful moves: squats, deadlifts and pushups!



  6. Sarah on February 3, 2011 at 8:43 pm

    My fave move is walk-out push ups! They make me feel strong! =) C’MON ROONS!



  7. Julie on February 3, 2011 at 8:45 pm

    My favorite fitness move is squats! That which does not kill you only makes you stronger, right?!



  8. Tiffanie on February 3, 2011 at 8:48 pm

    I love curtsy squats, they always make my legs burn in a good way. Its like I can feel my legs and bootie getting stronger and firmer after 5 seconds. And there is always a way to make them more challenging 🙂



  9. Tabby on February 3, 2011 at 8:48 pm

    sit ups!



  10. Charlotte on February 3, 2011 at 8:49 pm

    Ah you must be a masochist – I cannot stand the burpee! Even in the best shape of my life, when I was doing them every other day, they still managed to make me feel like an old hag after only a few. My favorite move would have to be a good ol’ bridge (or wheel, in yogaspeak). Nothing like it to clear out all the crapola building up in your spine.



  11. Madison W. on February 3, 2011 at 8:52 pm

    I love backward lunges and planks. They are both so easy to do at home but really pack a punch too!!!



  12. Lori Z on February 3, 2011 at 8:53 pm

    I have always loved walking lunges!



  13. Liz on February 3, 2011 at 8:54 pm

    Skull crushers, I have no idea why though



  14. Kathleen on February 3, 2011 at 8:54 pm

    I am a fb follower already!

    I adore the plank…I just feel hardcore talking myself into five or ten seconds more…I can do almost anything for five seconds more!



  15. Babs on February 3, 2011 at 8:54 pm

    Thrusters with a 50lb bar…they do amazing things for my booty:) Love me some burpees too!



  16. Katie- Microwavin Maven on February 3, 2011 at 8:57 pm

    I agree…. Burpees!!



  17. Sarah on February 3, 2011 at 8:57 pm

    LIKED YOU ON FB!



  18. Heather on February 3, 2011 at 8:57 pm

    I think this is the first time I have commented–love, love your blog! It’s a daily dose of motivation to make healthy choices!

    I have to say it’s hard to beat the pushup for my favorite fitness move. It’s the most effective do-anywhere option, even though I dread every single one.



  19. jen on February 3, 2011 at 8:57 pm

    deadlifts!



  20. Sarah on February 3, 2011 at 8:58 pm

    My FAVORITISTA move de FITNESSISTA is THE RUNNING MAN in a push up position…following a bunch of pushups. Truly gets the heart beating!!!! 🙂 I WANT ROONS!



  21. Laura on February 3, 2011 at 8:59 pm

    I’m already a facebook follower! I really enjoy looking at your blog daily. It’s always a great pick me up 🙂 My favorite move is a tuck jump. They are killer, but when I’m done, I feel so pumped up that I accomplished them!



  22. Ali on February 3, 2011 at 9:00 pm

    does a sun salutation b count? 🙂



  23. Lauren on February 3, 2011 at 9:01 pm

    my favorite move is lunges!



  24. Jennifer on February 3, 2011 at 9:02 pm

    My all time fitness move are sumo squats! Well, it’s a love/hate relationship: I love how they make my booty look in my jeans, but hate when they burn when I’m doing them. I’m an FB follower now.



  25. Astrid on February 3, 2011 at 9:03 pm

    definitely planks!



  26. Erica on February 3, 2011 at 9:03 pm

    I adore football sprints. They help me with my goalkeeping footwork. 😀



  27. danielle on February 3, 2011 at 9:04 pm

    i love squats! and i’d love some macaroons!



  28. Staci on February 3, 2011 at 9:04 pm

    I love doing planks and side planks!



  31. Molly on February 3, 2011 at 9:08 pm

    My favorite move is flutter kick on your back! We used to do it for drylands back in my swimming days and I still love it as the ultimate core worker!



  32. Kristen on February 3, 2011 at 9:09 pm

    I am an FB follower . . . My favorite workout move is the curtsy lunge – works those thighs and hips!!!!

    My favorite move is the plank, I am trying to build up to three minutes! Also, a FB follower!



  48. Allison on February 3, 2011 at 9:26 pm

    I am a huge fan of Jackie Warner’s and I do her personal trainer dvd’s in my dorm room up in NJ with my roommate. My all-time favorite move? Sissy squats (done with heels on weights) and mountain climbers (on Bose Ball).

    And I like you on facebook! Seeing your blog when I’m faced with my limited options at school inspires me to eat healthier and vegetarian! I also love Larabars but I’ve never tried the blueberry muffin one you like. I also want to try amaze-balls. 🙂

  50. Sandi on February 3, 2011 at 9:27 pm

    I hate pushups, but love the results. Planks are a close second.
