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

    So sweet of you. !!! I tell ya, I have been jonesin for your ‘roons since trying them at HLS!

    Current favorite is a move Jackie Warner uses in one of her dvds- cant think of the name of it, but you get down in a squat and go down to your knees one at a time then get back into the squat one leg at a time, and repeat. YOWZA!



  4. tammy on February 3, 2011 at 11:49 am

  5. Kristin on February 3, 2011 at 11:49 am

  9. megan on February 3, 2011 at 11:50 am

    I love burpees too! Actually, I hate them, but they are a challenge and who doesn’t love a challenge!



  10. Faith on February 3, 2011 at 11:50 am

    Does running count as a move? How about Zumba? Well those are my favorites either way!



  16. Patrizia on February 3, 2011 at 11:50 am

    Squats to burn that booty!



  17. Lauren on February 3, 2011 at 11:50 am

    Hmm I’d have to say my favorite moves would be planks/anything I do for my core, I always feel so strong after!

    It would make my year if I won your giveaway!!! Roons and a care package?!?! You’re soo good to your readers 🙂



  18. Krystal Ary on February 3, 2011 at 11:50 am

  21. Meg T on February 3, 2011 at 11:52 am

    I like planks! All sorts of planks really: on elbows, on hands, to the side, or on a bosu ball. They are all fun!



  22. Carol C on February 3, 2011 at 11:52 am

    Aww your giveaways are the best!

    I love planks, chaturangas, and squat jacks!



  23. emily on February 3, 2011 at 11:52 am

    my favorite workout move is the walking plank. so effective in such a short period of time! thanks for the giveaway!



  24. April on February 3, 2011 at 11:52 am

    I think squats are one of my favorites!

    I have been giving one of my friends those little packets of Justin’s nut butters in the mail sporadically just to cheer her up. She is in love with them!!



  25. Caitlin on February 3, 2011 at 11:52 am

    If we’re talking yoga, camel pose (in Bikram) is my favorite. Otherwise, Squats are my favorite! What a FANTASTIC Goodie Package–and Macaroons? YUM!!! Thanks for hosting a fantastic giveaway!



  26. Annette on February 3, 2011 at 11:53 am

    I love squats. Like with a weird passion 🙂



  27. Meg T on February 3, 2011 at 11:53 am

    I alos liked you on facebook!



  28. Amanda on February 3, 2011 at 11:53 am

    I like doing up-downs (when you go from hands to forearms in a plank position) because it’s good for cardio and strength training. By the end, I’m shaking and there’s a pool of sweat on the floor!



  29. Laura on February 3, 2011 at 11:53 am

    Plank! But now, also your “V” sit ups from WSU Week 1. They kick my abs into shape….!



  30. Dorry on February 3, 2011 at 11:53 am

    I love planks! My day doesn’t feel complete without them. 🙂



  31. Elizabeth on February 3, 2011 at 11:53 am

    I also love burpees! Lunges and planks are great too.



  32. Tristan on February 3, 2011 at 11:53 am

    I agree with you…burpees all the way! They work everything! I liked you on Facebook a long time ago 🙂



  33. Lina on February 3, 2011 at 11:53 am

    My favorite fitness move is the 1-legged dead lift. It’s graceful, reminds me of dancing, and totally tones the part where your leg meets your butt! Of course, I totally liked you on good-ol’ facebook as well!!

    Hope you’re having a great thursday!!



  34. Beth @ bride in the little white dress on February 3, 2011 at 11:54 am

    I love doing dead lifts with hammer curls! 🙂



  35. VeggieGirl on February 3, 2011 at 11:54 am

    All-time favorite fitness move = holding lunges/squats for a long time. Feel the burn.



  36. VeggieGirl on February 3, 2011 at 11:54 am

    I like The Fitnessista on Facebook



  37. suzanne on February 3, 2011 at 11:55 am

    I love squats 🙂 All different versions!



  38. Michelle @ a whole lot of life on February 3, 2011 at 11:55 am

    My fav. fitness move is bicep curls. They make me feel super hardcore.



  39. Angela on February 3, 2011 at 11:55 am

    I love wood chops with pulley machines!



  40. Michelle @ a whole lot of life on February 3, 2011 at 11:55 am

    I just liked you on facebook!



  41. Andrea G on February 3, 2011 at 11:55 am

    My favorite is actually a “discovery” I made on your blog when I was working out before my wedding: The double leg lift on the stability ball. I love the workout it gives my hammies and I found that it gave my core a decent workout when I was posed correctly and using my core to keep myself stable. LOVES IT!



  42. Marie on February 3, 2011 at 11:55 am

    Planks for me!



  43. Tara on February 3, 2011 at 11:56 am

    I love planks, add another move with them for better toning: leg lifts or rows. oh love to feel the burn!



  44. Erin (Travel Eat Repeat) on February 3, 2011 at 11:56 am

    Mmm… yummmmyyyy! I like jumping jacks. An old-y but a good-y.



  45. Joanna on February 3, 2011 at 11:56 am

    I hate burpees! But I love plank and all the different variations you can do.

    I liked you on FB!



  46. Melissa @ Running with Needles on February 3, 2011 at 11:57 am

    I love squats! Even though I can barely walk the day after I do them, they’re getting my legs looking good.



  47. Vicky on February 3, 2011 at 11:57 am

    My favorite fitness move is the squat!! Love the burn!



  48. Jill on February 3, 2011 at 11:57 am
