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 favorite workout move is a jumping jack. They are simple but are a full body workout that you can do anywhere, anytime!



  2. Julie @ Wearing Mascara on February 3, 2011 at 10:25 pm

    I would LOVE to win your ‘roons! I’ve always wanted to try them 🙂 My favorite move right now is “Bow Pose – Dhanurasana” in Bikram Yoga. I love it because I feel like my body was made for it. Just liked you on Facebook too! *Crossing my fingers!*

  5. Melissa on February 3, 2011 at 10:36 pm

    I rediscovered planks today after doing variations of ab exercises the past few weeks, so they’re currently what I’m looking forward to doing on my next workout! Your goodies look amazing (and that salad you packed for work looks delic)!



  6. Sarah on February 3, 2011 at 10:38 pm

    My fave fitness move would have to be a wall sit. Love what it does for my legs!



  7. Alicia on February 3, 2011 at 10:39 pm

  22. Kelli on February 3, 2011 at 11:07 pm

    Maybe planks, because I am determined to do them well. My life will not be complete until I taste one of your ‘roons!



  23. melinda h. on February 3, 2011 at 11:10 pm

    Lunges! I feel like they do the trick for lower body and you can do them anywhere! 🙂



  24. Casey Thomas on February 3, 2011 at 11:11 pm

    My all time favourite is side kicks badd ass kick boxing style. Love! 🙂



  25. Kristin on February 3, 2011 at 11:11 pm

    I like pushups, burpees, anything step aerobics related, and tricep push-ups (the yogini in me lives for these). I also really like deadlifts, lunges and squats, they just make you feel strong.



  26. Brittany (Eating Bird Food) on February 3, 2011 at 11:11 pm

    Burpees, Gina?!?!? No way, I loathe them.

    I think my favorite fitness move is probably planks. They’re the best.



  27. ezzie on February 3, 2011 at 11:15 pm

    I love burpees too! I feel so powerful and accomplished after I finish a set 😀



  28. Abbie on February 3, 2011 at 11:15 pm

    I love doing dead lifts and lunges. They hurt and burn, but I know they are making me stronger!!



  29. Sheila on February 3, 2011 at 11:16 pm

    My favorite exercise are barbell squats, I am working my quads, glutes, and core. They have really helped with my balance as well! Also, they are great for
    your booty 🙂



  30. Tyler on February 3, 2011 at 11:18 pm

    Lunges and I have a love/hate relationship.



  31. Gretchen on February 3, 2011 at 11:18 pm

    Push-Ups! They make me feel so strong!



  32. allie on February 3, 2011 at 11:19 pm

    pushups (while listening to Jesus Walks by Kanye…because it makes me feel BAMF even though I can only do like, 15)

    Look how many people want some ‘roons!



    • Fitnessista on February 4, 2011 at 12:09 am

  35. ALev on February 3, 2011 at 11:27 pm

    Mary Janes!



  36. Maddie on February 3, 2011 at 11:30 pm

    Sun Salutations! Great cardio if you go one breath per movement! Plus they can be done ANYWHERE! Just thinking about it, I got up to do one. Totally Zen now.



  37. Valerie on February 3, 2011 at 11:36 pm

    Lunges! They make me feel so strong and do wonders foe the booty!!



  38. Sheema on February 3, 2011 at 11:41 pm

    Anything that involves jumping…jump rope, jumping jacks…whatever!



  39. Aylin @ GlowKitchen on February 3, 2011 at 11:42 pm

    Pull-ups—the feelings of finally being able to them without help makes me feel so powerful!!



  40. Jessica on February 3, 2011 at 11:45 pm

    Hi! I met you in person at lululemon today 🙂 Thought I’d try my luck and enter the give away. Favorite fitness move= jumping lunges/squats!!
    Can’t wait to try dance trance! Hope you can make it to zumba soon. Hope to hear from you soon 🙂



    • Fitnessista on February 4, 2011 at 12:20 am

      hey girl!

      xoxo



  41. Tage on February 3, 2011 at 11:49 pm

    jumping rope! it’s great cardio, works your legs and your arms, plus you can take a jump rope anywhere!



  42. Emily on February 3, 2011 at 11:51 pm

    Oooo. I know many people can’t stand them, but I LOVE doing planks. So fun. I usually grab a book (sometimes a textbook, sometimes a novel for fun), set my intervals (by sections in textbooks or specific page increments) and get to reading and planking! Slowly building up your strength is great – I had done that for years and never thought to measure how long I could hold the plank. Now? I can hold a plank for six minutes and twelve seconds. AWESOME.



  43. Sarah on February 3, 2011 at 11:54 pm

    I love “the curl” & pretzel ab exercises from core fusion classes – they are incredible and seriously work!!



  44. Stephanie on February 3, 2011 at 11:54 pm

    squats and lunges.



  45. kathleen on February 3, 2011 at 11:58 pm

    Mountain climbers! Ooohh they hurt so good!



  46. Brittany on February 4, 2011 at 12:08 am

    Lunges and squats are my favorite workout moves. I like to feel the burn! That goodie package looks so wonderful I’m sure who ever gets it will be so excited 🙂



  47. hope on February 4, 2011 at 12:09 am

    Sun Salutations! I am in college and don’t have much time or space for workouts but I can do these in the morning and they make me feel great and ready to go for the day!



  48. vera on February 4, 2011 at 12:11 am

    my favourite move would have to be a lunge…boring, I know!



  49. Erin Smith on February 4, 2011 at 12:15 am

    my favorite workout move is the 100’s in pilates, i can really feel the burn!



  50. Yvette on February 4, 2011 at 12:21 am
