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

My favorite at home workout is Blogilates! I started following it when you featured them on your blog over the summer, and I’ve been addicted ever since! They are always challenging! I’m so glad you shared them with us!
I’ve been doing the 30-day shred, but would LOVE to try either of those!
Oh my gosh, what a sad video! I love that you use your blog to support good causes! I’d have to say that my favorite at home workout option is a mix between my Nike Training Center app workouts (obsession) and Tone It Up workouts. And I’ve been dyingggg to try Insanity for the longest time now, this couldn’t come at a more perfect time with bikini season coming so soon and my gym membership expiring! How nice of Bell and Olivia to sponsor (:
I was JUST saying how much I want Insanity! I used to do it with my crew buddies in college, and now that I’m starting an accelerated nursing program I’m going to be crazy busy, and too broke to get a gym membership for the first few months (if I had more time it would be worth it, but nursing school is going to eat my life, and why pay for something you’ll never get to use?). My favorite at-home workouts are youtube workouts (I love ZWOD), and jump rope.
omg such an amazeballs giveaway, gina!!! i love everything beachbody and have recently snagged the insanity dvds (craigslist what what!). When i purchased them i was torn between insanity and turbofire and this giveaway would give me the best of both worlds to get my rear in gear!!!
Favorite workout at home is pretty boring…running on a treadmill. With a new baby (one week old) at home I am looking for new ways to get back into shape! I would love to try the insanity program!
I have been dying to try Insanity for a long time!! I have heard such great things about it, and it’s always so fun to mix up your workouts.
My FAV at home workout WAS Bodyrock until Zuzana left…then I read your blog last night and found out Zuzana had her own you tube channel!!!!!! Yea!!!!
My favorite at-home workout option is P90X dvds or my own free weights. I would love to try Insanity!!
Awesome giveaway! Hmmm my favorite at home workout. To be honest, I have a hard time motivating myself to do workouts at home. I would LOVE to change that and find something I really love to do to get my workout at home.
I love strength training at home. We have a gym in our garage and it’s nice to work with weights without having to worry about big muscle heads in the weights room at the gym! Haha!
A giveaway…so exciting!!! My favorite at home workout is usually a Jackie Warner DVD. I’d love to try Insanity!!
My current at home workout is P90x. I like that it is a different workout each day of the week. I also LOVE my treadmill.
love paying it forward! great giveaway! i want to give turbo fire a try!! ahh looks so awesome! need something new to get rid of this baby weight after 2 kids! right now walking is about as much as i can get done, and tone it up girls dvds.
My favorite at home workouts are Jillian Michaels’ DVDs (especially 30 day shred or No More Trouble Zones) or P90X. I also like the Kinect sports game…so fun! If I win this giveaway, I would choose Turbo Fire because it looks like a blast!
I would LOVE to try Turbofire. I’ve seen so many blogs talk about it and I’ve been dying to try it but with money tight I’ve only been able to do the FREE workout videos on Youtube! Thanks for doing this giveaway. My fingers are crossed! 🙂
I love to do yoga at home! I really want to try Turbofire after your rave reviews though! Thanks for the great giveaway 🙂
I would try Turbofire! At the moment, I use my treadmill at home. Thanks for the giveaway!
I am new to working out with DVD’s and I just picked up Turbo Jam. It looks fun and challenging. Please tell Livi and Bella thanks for offering a fantastic giveaway.
I did P90X in college and I LOVED it! It would be great to try TurboFire too!!
My favorite at home work out is a collection of moves I learned from my brief stint with Crossfit. I’ll do kettlebell swings, burpees, wall ball throws, walking lunges, double-unders, and arrange them in different ways: 50x each for 3 rounds, 10x each for as many rounds in 20 minutes, etc 🙂 Nothing fancy!
my fav at home workout option has got to be Bob Harper’s dvds -they are killer! great giveaway – thanks for boosting my sense of gratitude today.
I love the Zumba Fitness video game for the Wii but if I’m feeling old school, I would pop in my mom’s VHS of “Workout with Jane Fonda.”
My favorite home workout (besides walking with my sweet dog) is the Firm DVD series. I am crossing my fingers for TurboFire.
I usually just run when I’m at home, or do a yoga video on my laptop, but I’ve heard great things about Insanity and have been wanting to try it!
You don’t need to enter me in this…just wanted to say that I’m glad you enjoyed the little care package!!
I first want to say I LOVE your blog. Very inspriring and you have turned me on to breakfast cookies!! At home I will do a Jillian Michaels video or with the Nike Fit Training app. I have recently gotten into running but I would love to switch it up with INSANITY!! Great giveaway! Also-your baby is preshy!
I love any free workouts on you tube and On Demand.
I’ve been wanting to try the TurboFire workout!
those macaroons… MERCY.
my home workout of choice is yoga (call me crazy entering this insanity/turbo contest), especially the yogadownload.com podcasts. i haven’t been doing them a lot lately, but this just inspired me to do one when i get home from work tonight 😉
When I’m not at the gym, I like to use Jillian’s 30 Day Shred. One day, I’d love to try TurboFire!
I enjoy HIIT on the treadmill or P90X. I also like to throw in the occasional pilates video. Great giveaway…very thoughtful.
I would love to try Insanity, I’ve had friends that have had amazing results with it and I think that I personally do better with a hot guy telling me what to do during a workout ; )
I love Body Rock and yoga when it comes to working out at home. I’ve never tried Insanity or Turbo Fire, but I’m dying to!
I’ve been wanting to try Insanity for a while now. Especially with how much you rave about both of these workouts. I love a good sweaty challenge!
My favorite at-home (or in-dorm room) workout is the kettlebell! It’s strength training and cardio all in one! And it takes up so little space and only one piece of equipment.
Longtime lurker, first time commenter here (I feel bad commenting for the first time on a giveaway, but I never feel like I have anything interesting to say!). I actually much prefer the atmosphere of the gym than working out at home, but sometimes it’s just much more convenient to stay home. I have P90X that I do occasionally, but I find Tony Horton a bit…silly. Now Shaun T. on the other hand…:-)
I would love to try TurboFire! I run a lot on my treadmill, but when I use a DVD, it’s usually from Bob Harper’s Warrior set (and I don’t do them often enough, so I feel the burn every time!).
Billy Blanks DVDs! haha maybe that’s old school but I randomly found some of them at school and love them!
would LOVE to win Insanity…ahhhhh Shaun T!! 🙂
Great giveaway, thanks Gina!
My favorite at-home workout is yoga! I also still have the old Tae Bo video tapes, lol…Billy Blanks helped me lose 40 pounds in college, so he has a special place in my heart 🙂
I do a mixture of exercises that I have learned over the years, some routines i’ve learned from different blogs and things my ex-gymnast boyfriend shows me how to do.
I like P90X, bodyrock, and my lovely treadmill! I would love to try the Insanity, my sister did it and really liked it.
I love Jillian Michaels DVDs and P90x. I would like to try TurboFire!!
Currently I do most of my cardio at the gym (treadmill/elliptical), but at home I always do free weights. I usually work out to a Jillian Michaels or Jackie Warner dvd for a little guidance 🙂 I would love to try Turbofire!
OH MY! I want the Insanity workouts so bad! What an amazing giveaway! I try to take my workouts outside (hiking, biking, skiing and snowshoeing) but after a long day at work and disappearing daylight I usually hop on the biker trainer or pop in the 30 day shred.
I borrowed Insanity from my dad and I love doing it at home when I have days off from pilates or boxing. It def is a great workout. I would love to try turbofire!
I’ve been dying to try TurboFire! And my favorite go-to at home workout would have to be Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. An oldie but a goodie 😉 Would probably make me feel better about devouring those roons….
I don’t have any workout dvd’s currently but I do love to do at-home workouts I find on blogs and in magazines! Would love to try these dvd’s though!!!
We love P90x but would love to try Insanity. My husband just asked me if we should order it last night.
