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

    Lunges! Especially with weights! They are killer, but so so effective 🙂



  2. Elise on February 4, 2011 at 12:31 am

    My favorite workout move is probably burpees (with jumps!) or mountain climbers. burn, baby, burn!



  3. Katelyn on February 4, 2011 at 12:33 am

    Weighted lunges! Jump squats are good too 🙂



  4. Charlene D. on February 4, 2011 at 12:33 am

    Push-ups are definitely my favorite workout move! I love that I can do “real” ones. Plus, they’ve been an invaluable “stay-in-shape” move for the past 5+ months while backpacking around Africa/Asia with my hubby since I can do them anywhere, no equipment required!



  5. katherine on February 4, 2011 at 12:40 am

    Push ups, I don’t need any equipment just the ground, and it works a bunch of muscles.



  6. Abbie on February 4, 2011 at 12:43 am

    Love me some old fashioned crunches!



  7. courtney on February 4, 2011 at 12:48 am

    Mine would definitely have to be standing bow pulling pose. It’s a stretch but it makes me feel so strong and challenged at the same time.



  8. Angela on February 4, 2011 at 12:55 am

    I love squats! Gotta keep the booty looking good!



  9. Katie on February 4, 2011 at 12:57 am

    Weighted squats! I like burpees, but I always feel like I am going to injure people around me when I try to do them 🙂



  10. Deborah on February 4, 2011 at 12:57 am

    The Superman pose from my Pilates SPX class! Gotta work out that back!



  11. Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] on February 4, 2011 at 1:01 am

    I have never seen so many comments on a giveaway 🙂 Your macaroons must be A-mazing!

    One of my favorite fitness moves are planks – of all sorts!



  12. Baroque Diva on February 4, 2011 at 1:03 am

    Ok… so it’s not EXACTLY a specific move. But my French girlfriend and I love to do our abdominal routine because we named it after the french term for “Crunches”: “Les Abdos Speciale!”. Sometimes a fun, silly name to a mini-ab routine is all you need to get motivated! 🙂



  13. Alicia on February 4, 2011 at 1:03 am

    My favorite workout move would have to be the reverse lunge:)



  14. Lauren on February 4, 2011 at 1:12 am

    i love your step-up leg lifts that were WMOW a while ago, like months ago… just cant remember exactly what you called them!



  15. anne on February 4, 2011 at 1:18 am

    Hey there, what a great goodie package!

    Favorite all time fitness move is probably one from Pilates: V-bend lifting the upper body & legs off the ground so you are balanced on your seat bone, then pumping the legs to give both the arms & abs an amazing workout! Also from yoga, I love the warrior poses, they make you feel so strong & balanced.

    Roons! 🙂



  16. Kaye on February 4, 2011 at 1:29 am

    I <3 Zumba…so anything with booty-shaking is my favorite. It's the only thing that has kept me working out regularly.



  17. suki @ [Super Duper Fantastic] on February 4, 2011 at 1:37 am

    i like squats…



  18. Maureen on February 4, 2011 at 1:38 am

    I love ab workouts! And lunges!



  19. Kristin White on February 4, 2011 at 1:41 am

    Soooo excited about your fabulous giveaway!! 🙂 Pilates teasers and planks on a ball are the BEST! I also love standing on a band and step-touching side to side…you really feel the burn in your outer thighs!!



  20. Jaclyn on February 4, 2011 at 1:55 am

    Ah, I HATE burpees! Ha!!!! I would have to say lunges, squats and/or planks/side planks!! All yoga – esque move, ha!
    Omgosh it would be a dream come true to win one of your giveaways…but every one you host, it keeps getting harder and harder 😉



  21. Katherine on February 4, 2011 at 2:03 am

    Lunges kill me, but they are so good for the bootie!!

    Oh, how I want some macaroons!!



  22. amy free on February 4, 2011 at 2:10 am

    Walking/jumping lunges are a personal fave 🙂



  23. Dana on February 4, 2011 at 2:11 am

    I love squats! Any kind of squat makes me happy!



  24. Susan on February 4, 2011 at 2:15 am

    One of my favorite moves is a strength training move – kickbacks (though tricep extensions are cool, too). It’s awesome to feel that underused muscle get a workout 🙂



  25. Kristin Moschetti on February 4, 2011 at 2:22 am

    My all time favorite is sprints on the treadmill!!! Requires concentration (to not fall off) and is perfect when I’m stressed out.



  26. Tiffany on February 4, 2011 at 2:40 am

    Tricep dips! Nothing seems to tone quite like it. 😉 As always, the roons look amaze.



  27. Hannah @ Hannah Lives on February 4, 2011 at 2:59 am

    I love planks. Any ab workout really. It’s always the one body part that I think needs work, and so I relish in doing abs in any routine, class, video, etc.



  28. Andrea on February 4, 2011 at 3:49 am

    Squats! I feel like I’m actually doing something when I’m doing them 🙂



  29. Floey on February 4, 2011 at 4:47 am

    Riding my bike! Of course 🙂



  30. yolande on February 4, 2011 at 4:54 am

    I love burpees , hoping lunges, and mountain climbers 🙂 feel the burn haha



  31. Sue on February 4, 2011 at 5:28 am

    I love mountain climbers!



  32. kate on February 4, 2011 at 5:42 am

    mmmm roons!!! I love lunges!



  33. Lyssa on February 4, 2011 at 6:03 am

    Favorite workout move?? Gotta say the kettlebell swing…painful after awhile but really affective at working the legs and getting my heart rate up!



  34. Brandi B. on February 4, 2011 at 6:18 am

    My favorite move has to be bench press–for some reson it makes me feel powerful:)



  35. Megan on February 4, 2011 at 6:43 am

    I loved the plank workout video. I teach pilates and I added those moves in right away. I also loved Bella trying to get in on the action. When ever I leave my mat out, my dog thinks its specifically for him to lay on:)



  36. Carrie on February 4, 2011 at 7:09 am

    I’ll pick walking lunges for my favorite move, if it’s not too late to enter the contest.



  37. Andrea on February 4, 2011 at 7:15 am

    My favorite move is the plank. Hits the core and arms – my two favorite places to work!



  38. Tara on February 4, 2011 at 7:39 am

    I LURVE burpees. They kick my tail but I feel fantastically fit after finishing them. They working everything in one!



  39. Sarah on February 4, 2011 at 7:55 am

    I’d love to try those and that goodie box looks like fun too!



  40. Beth on February 4, 2011 at 8:04 am

    I just started doing squats with a kettlebell and I must say I’m in lurrrve, might be my new favorite move!!



  41. Melissa on February 4, 2011 at 8:12 am

    The plank is my favorite. Hurts so good!



  42. shannonmarie on February 4, 2011 at 8:14 am

    Wow! That’s an incredible response. I’m a huge fan of standing abs. So much more effective than traditional crunches.



  43. Maddie on February 4, 2011 at 8:30 am

    Weighted lunges!!



  44. CaSaundra on February 4, 2011 at 8:33 am

    I like sit ups!!!



  45. Sami on February 4, 2011 at 8:33 am

    my all time fitness move is PLANKS 😀

    love those babies!

    xo



  46. Jamie Z on February 4, 2011 at 8:38 am

    Squats with heavy weights!!!!



  47. Emily H on February 4, 2011 at 8:42 am

    I loooove me some burpees! I always throw those in at the end of a workout before I stretch just to push myself that extra mile at the end!



  48. Hanna on February 4, 2011 at 8:49 am

    I like push ups and pull ups!



  49. Kathie @ Frugal Fit and Fabulous on February 4, 2011 at 8:53 am

    i love burpees too..and yes im a fan of your’s on FB



  50. Amanda Z. on February 4, 2011 at 8:57 am

    My favorite workout move is the snow angel – high plank with feet on towels – you slide feet in an out at a fast but controlled pace. Thanks so much for this giveaway. Everything looks awesome!
