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

    I think my favorite is incline pushups. I always feel so awesome when I can manage more than 10!



  2. Kate on February 3, 2011 at 10:56 am

    jump lunges! they hurt so good!



  3. michele on February 3, 2011 at 10:56 am

    You aren’t messing around with those macaroons! They look dee-lish! 🙂 My all-time favorite would be planks…regular and side ones. i love to “trim the middle”



  4. christina on February 3, 2011 at 10:56 am

    I know it’s weird… but I LOVE PLANKS.

  6. Jessica @ Fruit and Veggie Tales on February 3, 2011 at 10:57 am

    Hmmmm, favorite fitness move would have to be good old fashioned squats! They really work on so many levels!



  7. Katie on February 3, 2011 at 10:57 am

    I used to FEAR lunges, but now I love them! Standing lunges, walking lunges, static lunges, anything!



  8. Yolie on February 3, 2011 at 10:58 am

  9. Jaime on February 3, 2011 at 10:58 am

    My favorite fitness move is a wall sit–that is the one thing I can always feel in my whole body! Going to like you on facebook right now.



  10. Laura on February 3, 2011 at 10:58 am

    Awesome giveaway! My all time favorite fitness move is walking lunges with bicep curls.



  11. Ali on February 3, 2011 at 10:58 am

    Bicycle crunches!! I “like” you on fb. And I LOVE your blog. You’re such an inspiration to me, and for that I thank you!



  12. Susan on February 3, 2011 at 10:58 am

    i love body pump’s clean and press. i can’t wait to try your famous macaroons!!



  13. Cassie on February 3, 2011 at 10:58 am

    WEIGHTED PLANTS. I put a 10 pound weight on my back and then do three sets of 1-1:30 min. KILLER. but I have never seen better results.

    I’ve never had a macaroon! I would love to!



  14. Sam on February 3, 2011 at 10:59 am

    That would be a great giveaway to have:) Favorite fitness move? Still good ‘ole Wall squats/sits.



  15. Claire on February 3, 2011 at 10:59 am

    I’m a huge fan of a lunge-squat combo set. I also love crow pose. Its my best party trick.



  16. Kaleigh on February 3, 2011 at 11:00 am

    my favourite and most challenging move to date (i still can only manage to do 3 properly – which is a 1000x improvement) is the pushup. I simply cannot seem to muster enough arm strength to get it done. Maybe I should put it towards the beginning of my workouts.



  17. Lindsay McAlester on February 3, 2011 at 11:00 am

    I LOVE some hopping or jumping lunges especially with a weighted ball. When I teach my Stroller Strides class…my moms always sigh with pain before we start! 🙂

    I “like”d you on FB already too!

    Oh I hope I win!!!!!!! 🙂



  18. Lala on February 3, 2011 at 11:00 am

    Plank! I feel so strong holding it. 🙂



  19. Lauren W. on February 3, 2011 at 11:00 am

    I really love to hate the one armed plank, especially when my arm starts to shake. Ugh it burns…but still, it’s my favorite!



  20. ashley@quasichick on February 3, 2011 at 11:00 am

    My favorite move is the mountain climer b/c I have a hard time doing them ..lol
    They are a challenge and something I can use to see how much stronger I am getting!

    I already like you on FB 🙂



  21. Emily on February 3, 2011 at 11:00 am

    I love push ups and doing different varieties of pushups (wide arm, diamonds, ya know…) 🙂

  26. Ang on February 3, 2011 at 11:01 am

    Love, love, LOVE walking lunges! You just can’t beat that bootie burn 🙂



  27. Jessica @ Dairy Free Betty on February 3, 2011 at 11:01 am

    As for fitness move! I love everything and everything zumba!! It has toned up my upper body SO much, my wedding dress looks SO much better after Zumba!!! (PS. My wedding is in 12 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!)



  28. Cailean on February 3, 2011 at 11:01 am

    Hey Gina! Roons look delish. 🙂 I like you on facebook, although I wish they had a love button!! I’m in the process of getting certified to teach Zumba (I do basic training in 2ish weeks) so to keep my abs tight I like to do mountain climbers! Little bit of cardio while working my core and legs and I can always feel ’em the next day!



  29. Katie on February 3, 2011 at 11:02 am

    Lately I’ve been loving on jump-roping! I might be coming around on your burpees though. 🙂



  30. Allie on February 3, 2011 at 11:02 am

    I know it may sound weird, but I really like planks. You definitely feel the burn (and see the results!)
