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

Before becoming pregnant, it was Insanity, now though, its the 10 Minute Solution: Prenatal Pilates. I would LOVE to start the TurboFire program postonce the baby is here!!
Great giveaway! I would love to try Turbofire–I think it would be right up my alley 🙂
I would love Insanity, I’ve been dying to try it! My husband and I currently do 30 Day Shred at home (although he doesn’t enjoy me disclosing that he does it with me) and I have the Zumba workout which I also use to switch it up. This would be an amazing switch up! Great timing – right before summer!!
I have a treadmill at home but would love to try insanity!!!
Hey Gina!
I typically stick to easy yoga youtube videos. I work shift work at a fire centre and I am fortunate enough to be able to work out at work in the down time and over night shifts. Yoga is a great switch up from sitting in a chair all day/night long and I would LOVE some new workouts to bust out with the other gals to make those long shifts go by faster 😉
Happy Wednesday!
Kettlebells!
This is awesome! I love your giveaways and your big heart! Since I live really far from the nearest gym, I have to do most of my workouts at home. I usually just have a dance party on the treadmill, but I also have a home weight bench, a mini-trampoline, and zuuuuumba for the wii! One of these workouts would really round out my home gym!!
I’ve been desperately wanting to try the TurboFire workout DVDs but can’t justify the cost right now!! Working out at home is so much easier than trudging to the gym. Although as the winter has been mild, running outside has been a staple for me.
My favorite at home work option is usually just doing some free weights while watching tv
My favorite at home workout is Tracey Andersen. I do it approx 3 x a week and have definitely seen results.
I recently quit the gym bc I had no motivation for gym equipment and didnt care for the classes provided. I’m trying to stay motivated by doing at home workouts: running, yoga, weight lifting. I would loveee to try either DVD!
I LOVE Chalene and I own Turbo Jam and Chalean Extreme and SO badly want the Turbo Fire! Been going to the gym these days, or running outside when its decent but Id love to get back into a home workout!
I am the anti-gym person. For a good long time, I was obsessed with Yoga Today online. 3 amazing yoga teachers. Now, I also mix it up with BodyRock/ZuskaLight and good old 30 Day Shred.
I do a mix of Jillian Michaels, P90X, Physique 57, BodyRock, and random YouTube vids (yay for Zumba instructors!). I’m always looking for new videos to add to the mix, and I’ve been wanting to try Turbofire for quite some time!
I star in my google reader all kinds of workouts from different blogs I read. I have a lot of options that way to put together my own workout!
After I had my sweet boy, I convinced the husband that we needed a treadmill so that is what I’m chained to most days with a little yoga dvd action mixed in. I SO want to try insanity!!!!
I love having weights and an exercise ball at home to create my own mini strength workouts. I also love the 30 day shred!
My favorite at home workout is a Jillian Michaels DVD. I have two now but they all seem to be great. Would love to add to my DVD collection though and try something new 🙂
My favorite workouts to do at home are ZuzkaLight workout! Short and to the point!
I love working out at home! I hope I win! 🙂
I like Jillian’s 30 Day Shred, but I also love just making up my own circuit workouts at home! I would LOVE to try either of these workouts, but I know my husband would love Insanity more!
I would love Turbofire!!! I purchased Greatest HIITS and I love it, I just can’t spend the money for the whole DVD set. This would be awesome!
Consider the video “liked” 🙂
i bought turbofire b/c of your reviews, and it’s my current favorite! i’ve been looking into insanity as my next step!
I was a Jillian Michaels DVDer for a while, but now I can’t get enough of my mini-trampoline. It makes me feel like I am flying!
I LOVE Denise Austin Videos! You can make them as short or as long as you want.
I love doing the TIU workouts at home! But I have to say I have been wanting to try Insanity for awhile! Awesome giveaway 🙂
Sweet giveaway! My favorite at home workouts are the ones I create myself.. lots of squats, burpees, pushups, ect.. 🙂
Hi Gina! I would love to try Insanity! My go-to workout usually involves a mix of free weights N my Wii fitness Zumba game. It’s a great alternative when I can’t make it out to a class :). I’d love to try something new!
I really like the On-Demand workouts on my tv. Some of them are actually pretty good, especially the ab workouts or quick toning sessions which are perfect after a run outside! I would LOVE my own Turbo Fire set!!
What a great giveaway.. And that pizza looked YUMM!. My fave at home workout is probably any Jillian Michaels. If I were to win your giveaway I would probably choose TurboFire. 🙂
Well, since I am 9 days postpartum I would have to say that my favorite “at home workout” right now is walking around the block with my little guy! 🙂 Once I’m feeling better, I’ll go back to some Jillian Michaels DVDs but would LOVE to give Insanity a try!
I LOVE doing many of your workouts at home, especially the ab burners!!!
AHHHH This is the give a way I need!!! I have been saving up for BOTH of these for about a month now!!!! AHHH! Okay so my fav at home workout is a little thing that I call “Ball TV”. I sit on my ball and watch tv. But I dont just sit…I crawl, crunch, do leg lifts, toss, squat and everything else you can imagine on my ball. It helps tone me while I catch up with America’s Next Top Model — Which is AMAZING btw with the British Invasion! SOOOO if I won I would want to go insane with Insanity! <3
My favorite at home work outs are my Winsor Pilates DVD. They are so old but it’s a simple 20 min core workout and I never get bored of it!
Hi Gina!! I love your blog so much! I usually check my favorite blogs first thing in the morning, and yours is always first! So much inspiration and fun ideas. I’d have to say some of my favorite home workouts are pilates videos, jillean michaels, and bodyrock. Every once in a while I’ll try my hand at belly dancing home workout videos (because I’m too embarrassed to take a class in public). haha. What a nice giveaway! I’d love to win TurboFire or Insanity, but if I had too choose, I might pick Insanity because my husband would be more likely to participate with me. He gets freaked out when dancing is involved. 🙂 haha
OMG!!! First I will like to thank you for this AWESOME giveaway!
Personally I would love to have the TurboFire..Watching you do it made me want to get up and do it with you!!
Thanks again!
P.S. I borrowed Insanity from a friend and fell in love with Shaun T. Not only is he nice to look at but the motivation was right were i needed it to be..it was like he knew when I needed that extra push. So i have no doubt that TurboFire will be just as good!
😉
my favorite home workouts are ones i find through blog reading! there are so many popping up these days, with pinterest and all, that the resources are endless!
I love Jillian [shred] sometimes and yoga all the time!
I do a mish-mash of moves including crunches, burpes, high-knees, jumping jacks, squats, etc. But I will say, I’m a gym girl!
I’ve been known to make up my own HIIT workout right here in the comfort of my living room. I may look silly, but it’s effective!
I Love making up my own weight circuit workouts with dumbbells, bench press, and kettlebells!
I like to switch between the gym, the basement treadmill and workout dvd’s and exploring our new neighborhood on outdoor runs!
olivia and bella are such great sponsors! haha yay! i did jillian michaels ripped in 30 dvd and thought it was awesome…then i started doing bodyrock’s which were equally as painful (which i loved)! i actually asked for insanity for xmas but didnt get it…waaa waaa sad. anyway, great giveaway!!
TurboFire! I love to feel the burn!
My favorite at-home workout is to do circuits with free weights. My fitness routine has slipped a bit as of late, but with an upcoming wedding (and just for general all-over health/sanity!) I would LOVE to try either of these! 🙂
Bodyrock for sure! Or ZWOW.
I live in an apartment condo, so I have the luxury of a gym downstairs! Elliptical and treadmill are my bffs 🙂
When I don’t go down to the gym, Yoga Meltdown (Jillian Micheals) and Yoga for the Warrior (Bob Harper) are my DVDs of choice. Oh, and No More Trouble Zones too! Would love to mix it up with either of your giveaway DVDs.
I usually just run on my treadmill at home but I would love to try Insanity!
I love Insanity and Jillian’s 30-Day Shred. I’d love to try Turbofire!
I have done Insanity, great work out, so I would love to try turbo fire. With a 9 month old, working out has to be from the home!
