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

    Facebook is so nifty for keeping track of everything!

    My favorite fitness move would be something not many people do…but doing my off-ice jump workouts from figure skating. Definitely hard work! It’s always fun to see people watching a random gym member jumping around for half an hour.



  2. Beth on February 3, 2011 at 9:27 pm

    I love jumping lunges. Also, fitnessista workouts! 🙂



  3. Sandi on February 3, 2011 at 9:28 pm

    And I follow you on facebook!



  4. Raewyn on February 3, 2011 at 9:30 pm

    Yaaaayyy – thanks for another giveaway! You are so sweet. My favorite move: plank me up! That and Fitnessista moves! 🙂



  5. Michelle on February 3, 2011 at 9:30 pm

    Fav fitness move- the lunge…. In all it’s glory:)



  6. Natalie on February 3, 2011 at 9:31 pm

    I actually like burpees, too. We used to do them in old school swim team practices, and they’ve stuck with me.



  7. Caitlin on February 3, 2011 at 9:31 pm

    Squats! and I have to cheat and add that a second is the plank



  8. angelalovesfood on February 3, 2011 at 9:32 pm

    I love the stability ball where you can do the hamstring curls, so much better than the machine!



  9. Gina on February 3, 2011 at 9:33 pm

    Nothing beats the classic squat!



  10. lindsey on February 3, 2011 at 9:34 pm

    LOOOOOOVE planks. They are so hard but I feel so darned accomplished after I complete them. I still remember the first time I did one full minute. whew!



  11. lindsey on February 3, 2011 at 9:35 pm

    Big fan of yours on facebook!



  12. Nicole @ Making Good Choices on February 3, 2011 at 9:36 pm

  14. jackie on February 3, 2011 at 9:36 pm

    favorite fitness move: combos!!! like lifting arm weights while doing a squat



  15. Tara on February 3, 2011 at 9:37 pm

    I have an ongoing love-hate relationship with burpees! Nothing I hate more, but nothing I love more either 🙂



  16. Brynne on February 3, 2011 at 9:39 pm

    I already like you on Facebook! And lunges are my fave 🙂



  17. Andrea on February 3, 2011 at 9:41 pm

    Squats with side lifts. . . when I don’t lose my balance and take out nearby objects!

    – First time commenting. You’re the only blog I read! LOVE it!



  18. Kasey @ The Balanced Bicyclist on February 3, 2011 at 9:42 pm

    Tricep dips!

    I love/hate planks



  22. Lindsey @Textbooks and Cookbooks on February 3, 2011 at 9:45 pm

    My all time fave fitness move is the classic pull up 🙂



  23. Brittney on February 3, 2011 at 9:48 pm

    Box jumps are my fav!



  24. Melinda on February 3, 2011 at 9:48 pm

    Lunges! Gotta get that booty in shape. =)



  25. Katie C on February 3, 2011 at 9:49 pm

    Squats. Always feel like I get something from them. Love the blog!



  26. Megan on February 3, 2011 at 9:51 pm

    Triangle pose for sure!



  27. Corey @ The Runner's Cookie on February 3, 2011 at 9:52 pm

    I love the simple moves – lunges and pushups!



  28. Dani on February 3, 2011 at 9:55 pm

    I love (and sort of hate sometimes) the lunge!



  29. Eliza on February 3, 2011 at 9:56 pm

    anything that makes the booty burn & hurt so goooood!



  30. Ann @ Running With Chopstix on February 3, 2011 at 9:56 pm

    Anything that gives a good burn! I’m working on doing more pull ups. I’m at one so far haha



  31. lauren alysse on February 3, 2011 at 9:57 pm

    i LOVE chest flys. this is way weird.



  32. Dee on February 3, 2011 at 10:00 pm

    I love squats… and I think I may be the only one! LOL!!



  33. Katy C. on February 3, 2011 at 10:00 pm

    I mostly do yoga to work out (and recently discovered ashtanga–WOW), and I think my favorite asanas are definitely hip openers like pigeon pose. So glorious.



  34. Ashley on February 3, 2011 at 10:01 pm

    side plank!



  35. Rose on February 3, 2011 at 10:02 pm

    Headstands. 🙂 Life is more fun upside-down. Plus, it works my core and my concentration.



  36. MCR on February 3, 2011 at 10:02 pm

    I have been loving burpees lately! They really get the heart rate up!



  37. Katherine on February 3, 2011 at 10:03 pm

    I know that this makes me really old school but I love crunches!



  38. Taya on February 3, 2011 at 10:07 pm

    I love planks – they’re so simple, and yet you can do so much with them! Sometimes I elevate my feet on a step, do side planks, alternate lifting legs…and they make me feel strong! I also love doing sun salutations after a long day – so mind clearing!



  39. Lili on February 3, 2011 at 10:08 pm

    wow! great question! I think I narrowed down my favorite workout move to a plank, it is one move I can do anywhere and see and feel the quickest results! Although warrior 3 in yoga is quickly becoming a new favorite as I am a yoga newbie!



  40. Amy on February 3, 2011 at 10:09 pm

    Push ups are my favorite!!!



  41. Whitney on February 3, 2011 at 10:10 pm

    I loooove planks, is that weird? Took a yoga class where we had to hold them for 3 minutes every class and since then I’ve been hooked!



  42. Liz @ Tip Top Shape on February 3, 2011 at 10:10 pm

    I love the series of five in pilates. Really works your abs!!



  43. Liz @ Tip Top Shape on February 3, 2011 at 10:11 pm

    Just liked you on fb!!



  44. Nikki on February 3, 2011 at 10:15 pm

    I like Burpees too, Gina! Wahoo!



  45. Beth@Give a girl the right shoes on February 3, 2011 at 10:15 pm

    My favorite workout move is squats!



  46. Sarah on February 3, 2011 at 10:15 pm

    Plank! It makes me feel fierce.



  47. Nikki on February 3, 2011 at 10:15 pm

  48. Holly D on February 3, 2011 at 10:16 pm
