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

_____________________________________________________________________________

Every now and again, I like to do giveaways just to say thank you for being amazing. I have a blasty virtually hanging out with all of you, and love all of the creative and fun discussion that we have on the bloggy.

so….

    I like the dolphin/plank combo!



  2. Ashley on February 3, 2011 at 12:06 pm

    I love doing chest fly’s on a stability ball!



  3. Lindsey on February 3, 2011 at 12:06 pm

    I already like you on Facebook 😉 AND my favorite move would have to be sit-ups on the decline bench.



  4. Liz on February 3, 2011 at 12:06 pm

    I hate burpees. But I love anything with the BOSU… good, balancing fun!



  5. Britney on February 3, 2011 at 12:07 pm

    I’m a little bit old school, but I kind of love jumping jacks. 🙂



  6. Emily on February 3, 2011 at 12:08 pm

    I could really use some roon lovin!

    Favorite move? Probs walking lunges–they kill my butt in the best way possible.

  7. ellie on February 3, 2011 at 12:08 pm

    I love squats!



  8. Holly on February 3, 2011 at 12:10 pm

    Sumo Squats while holding a 40lb free weight!



  9. Gloria on February 3, 2011 at 12:10 pm

    Mountain climbers! Super hard though!



  10. Laura on February 3, 2011 at 12:10 pm

    I am going to have to agree with you and say burpees! Even though you feel like you want to die doing them, they are so effective! 🙂



  11. Lola H. on February 3, 2011 at 12:10 pm

    I really love squats and push ups! But I don’t have facebook 🙁



  12. Shannon on February 3, 2011 at 12:11 pm

    I love the classic double handed kettlebell swing.



  13. Kelly on February 3, 2011 at 12:11 pm

    I would have to say lunges! Def makes your legs burn by the next day 🙂



  14. Laura on February 3, 2011 at 12:11 pm

    I “like” the fitnessista on fb 🙂



  15. Emi on February 3, 2011 at 12:12 pm

    Ball plank, alternated with ball push-ups!



  16. jeri on February 3, 2011 at 12:12 pm

    my butt and legs like lunges. Me….not so much.



  17. Rachel on February 3, 2011 at 12:12 pm

    Weighted Lunges are my favorite! Especially if you add a little arm action in!



  18. jeri on February 3, 2011 at 12:12 pm

    and I just liked the fitnessista on fbook! what a fun giveaway. 🙂



  19. Tricia on February 3, 2011 at 12:13 pm

    Oh so many favorites! I do love me some burpee with pushup combo!



  20. Michelle on February 3, 2011 at 12:13 pm

    Jump squats are my favorite! I love doing them between circuits to get my heart rate up. They are so tough…in a good way 🙂



  21. Angela on February 3, 2011 at 12:13 pm

    Planks! So tough, but I really feel like I’m making progress when I do them.



  22. kristin on February 3, 2011 at 12:14 pm

    you are the best for doing the ‘roon giveaways! one day i WILL win!

    My favorite move is probably lunges – I think they are kinda fun. weird, i know 🙂



  23. Katie G. on February 3, 2011 at 12:14 pm

    I’m already a fan on Facebook 😉

    My favorite is straight up squats and sumo squats. I like to feel burn! I’m not sure I do burpies the right way…video tutorial?!



  24. kristin on February 3, 2011 at 12:15 pm

    and i like you on FB already 🙂



  25. Jennifer@ Frost Bites on February 3, 2011 at 12:15 pm

    Love PLANKS..every kind, every variation.



  26. Chrissy on February 3, 2011 at 12:15 pm

    Dead Lifts!! I can always feel the burn the next day!



  27. Corinne on February 3, 2011 at 12:15 pm

    I like squats!



  28. brigit on February 3, 2011 at 12:15 pm

    Lunges!!!!



  29. Chrissy on February 3, 2011 at 12:15 pm

    oh…also…I “like” the fitnessista on FB now!!



  30. Natalie on February 3, 2011 at 12:16 pm

    Walking lunges!!!



  31. Cathy on February 3, 2011 at 12:16 pm

    My favorite fitness move is a jump squat!



  32. kara on February 3, 2011 at 12:17 pm

    I cant get enough of the variations to the lung!



  33. Lauren on February 3, 2011 at 12:17 pm

    I’m a fan of deadlifts! Not sure why, but they’re always my favorite part.



  34. Cathy on February 3, 2011 at 12:17 pm

    I also “liked” you on Facebook!



  35. Alexis on February 3, 2011 at 12:18 pm

    I don’t know if it counts, but tree pose. I suppose it’s not technically a workout move, but it’s one that I always look forward to in my yoga practice!

    Wall sits would have to be my other favorite. It’s the epitome of mind over matter when I hit that 60-second mark, and it’s a great feeling of accomplishment (and immediate wobbly-legs)!



  36. Dianna on February 3, 2011 at 12:18 pm

    My favorite is the good oldfashioned plank.
    It never fails to work every muscle.



  37. Susan on February 3, 2011 at 12:18 pm

    My favorite exercise is from pilates; the rollover with a leg raise is my all time favorite! It reminds me of when I was younger and I would bust out with the move on the floor when my family was watching tv at night.



  38. Jenna@frombostonwithlove on February 3, 2011 at 12:18 pm

    I really like seated oblique twists with a medicine ball. Well “like” is relative. All core work is so hard but it feels so good.



  39. Summer on February 3, 2011 at 12:19 pm

    I love lunges! Ok so maybe I don’t love actually doing them. But I love the results!!!



  40. Amy Afonso on February 3, 2011 at 12:19 pm

    I really like Shawn T.’s squat jacks where you touch the floor with each squat. Oh, the burn!



  41. Mandy on February 3, 2011 at 12:19 pm

    Eagle pose in yoga! I adore so many yoga moves though, it’s hard to pick just one 🙂



  42. tea-bag on February 3, 2011 at 12:20 pm

    hmm… it’s got to be sun salutations. i always feel so lengthened and relaxed after i do a few!



  43. Meredith on February 3, 2011 at 12:20 pm

    Bring on the squats!



  44. Kristyn on February 3, 2011 at 12:20 pm

    My favorite exercise is the plank because when I do it longer than I think I can I feel so proud of myself. I feel great after!!!



  45. Maggie on February 3, 2011 at 12:20 pm

    Squats! A classic.



  46. Lauren on February 3, 2011 at 12:20 pm

    Elbow planks and side kicks help me stay strong and lean! Love your facebook page!



  47. Justine on February 3, 2011 at 12:20 pm

    I love doing squats!



  48. Laura on February 3, 2011 at 12:21 pm

    You can’t go wrong with planks. Sure, they hurt, but the results are worth it!



  49. Mo on February 3, 2011 at 12:21 pm

    I love push ups with a dumbell lift – those just slay me, but in a good way!



  50. Carolyn @ Lovin' Losing on February 3, 2011 at 12:21 pm

    I have to say, I think the Clean and Press from Body Pump is my fave!
