Share the love {giveaway}
*******************This giveaway has ended as of 12:24 EST (3/8/12). Thank you so much to everyone for entering and stay tuned for more giveaways in the future!
Don’t you love when something totally unexpected makes your day a little brighter?
(Gorgeous full moon last night! Now if only I knew how to make my camera photograph it like an actual moon instead of a dot, that’d be kinda cool)
Well, that’s what happened yesterday 🙂
First I was excited to see a package that didn’t have the Amazon smiley face on it –those tend to pop up over here pretty frequently- and then I saw “perishable food” and things got even more ridic.
A package of Chicago foodie goodies from our good friends Mara and Adam 🙂
Carol’s cookies, Garrett’s popcorn and a deep dish pizza. No words.
I couldn’t open the popcorn fast enough….
and put the pizza in the oven, just in time for the Pilot to get home from work.
Random acts of kindness are truly amazing, and whenever someone does something nice for me, it makes me want to share the positive energy with someone else… so I thought it would be a great day for a giveaway- it’s been a while since we’ve had one of those over here!
After reading the comments on yesterday’s YouTube fitness post, I remembered that many of you also enjoy working out at home, so I thought I’d share one of my favorite at-home workouts with a blog friend:
Winner’s choice: Insanity or Turbofire
You can read my reviews in the links above and decide whether you would prefer a drill-based high-impact workout, or a dance meets kickbox high-energy workout. It makes it even harder to choose because Shaun T. is fun and verryyyy nice to look at, and Chalene is a firecracker of motivation and energy.
All ya have to do:
-Leave a comment with your favorite at-home workout option
(If it’s your first time commenting, I’ll be approving those throughout the day, so no worries if it doesn’t show up right away)
This giveaway is sponsored by Livi and Bella- the winner will be chosen tonight at midnight EST and announced tomorrow am.
To sweeten the deal:
Hope you have an amazing humpday!
See ya later with a Family post.
xoxo

YOGA, YOGA, YOGA!
Circuit workouts!
I love Turbo Jamand Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, but I’d love to try something ridiculously hard like Insanity at home 🙂 I’m probably too chicken to try that in front of an audience at the gym
My favorite at home workout are the ones you post here! 🙂 I can always count on them to give me a great burn for my time! I love how even the shorter workouts create great results! Also, I think I would love the Turbofire workout as I am a Zumba and Kickboxing girl myself! Love you and the blog! Keep up the great work!

Hi! My name is Griselda and my favorite is TurboFire! I would love to try Insanity though! 🙂
I have tons of workout DVDs that I do at home, my favorite workouts are by Cindy Whitmarsh, especially here Incredible Abs series. I also like to do strength training, as I have a few different sets of weights at home.
Oh gosh, they both sound fabulous options for a workout. Right now my favorite at home workout is a spin workout on my stationary bike….intermixed with some tennis ball throwing for my pooch who loves when i am in one place and she can bring me her ball to throw her. I get a good workout with a nice distraction and she gets a workout fetching the ball – Tired me after – tired puppy after! win win 🙂
THanks for hositng such a generous giveaway. COuld really use a little motivation right now and a new workout would certainly help. HUGS
I love doing yoga at home, but would totally love to try turbofire after your review!
My favorite at home workout is definitely yoga. Love dimming the lights, putting my mat down, and becoming a yoga noodle.
Definitely yoga. When I’m at home, I tend to enjoy doing more stretched focused workouts, so I can spend time running and doing other more cardio intense workouts outside. LOVE THE GIVEAWAY!
Had been doing Bodyrock but fell off the wagon with the new hosts. The I found myself in a bit of a rut, just exhausted at all times. But now that Zuzana is back doing her own thing, I will be trying to pick it back up with those!
After reading your reviews I think I’m more of a Insanity girl.
My favorite at home workout is weight training with my dumbells and some music on 🙂
My favorite at home workout is pilates DVDs or just crazy dancing alone!
my favorite workout at home is walking on the treadmill, riding my bike on the trainer or brazillian butt lift =)
I would love to try Turbofire. Chalene is such an inspiration!
I love to do yogadownload.com and pop pilates! SO much fun to get in a quick workout or a nice stretch after a long day of work!
My favorite is body rock , but because of my back pain i can’t do it any more.
I like the Julian Michaels DVD’s
That video is unbelievable, Gina! Absoultely bawled my eyes out. I’m so floored and moved by the family’s positivity, courage and strength. I’m going to share this with everyone I know! <3
I love Turbo Jam and do it frequently at home, I love Chalene’s energy and music through out the videos. She makes the time fly. Would love to add turbo fire to my collection
Guess I’m too late lol but I would say my favorite at home workout is Walk Away the Pounds AND Turbo Jam. So you know which workout I would have chosen.
And ohhh Garrett’s popcorn. I just tried it for the first time a few weeks ago when I was flying out on a biz trip (there is a Garrett’s popcorn stop in the airport). Yum.very addicting.
