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

I love doing my own yoga practice at home! 🙂
i love doing yogadownload.com podcasts in my bedroom! great way to wake up and get motivated for the day or to mellow out after a crazy one. Turbofire looks like such a great time!
My at-home options are pretty slim… I’ve done stuff that was “on-demand” on my tv before. It was good- but I’d love to try Insanity!
My favorite at-home workout is cleaning. I know it sounds odd, but you get that feel-good feeling of having a clean house AND burning calories.
I’m currently loving Jackie Warner’s Power Circuit Training DVD and the Pocket Yoga app on my smartphone.
I love workout videos and swear by the 30 Day Shred.
Thanks Liv and Bell 🙂
I love Jillian’s DVDs, as well as on demand workouts. This is an amazing giveaway, and I would love to try either of these!!!
I used to love the exercise.tv channel, but it’s gone now!
My fave at home option is my zumba live dvd! I love the energy from the live video and ending the workout with Calypso music always puts a smile on my face 🙂
At home I run outside, do a yogadownload.com yoga podcast (I like Dave Farmar), or do Jillian Michael’s 30 day shred. I’d love to do Insanity, though – I’ve got a strapless wedding dress to look smokin’ in!
I don’t normally work out at home, but when I travel, I always take one of the Core Fusion DVDs with me. I’d love to try out either of these programs! I’ve heard so many good things!
I love Jillian Michael’s yoga DVD and running outside! Jillian Michaels makes me sweat during yoga like no other!
I LOVE Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. It never gets old!
That pizza looks fantastic!
I received Zumba DVDs for Christmas and am really enjoying that! Before that I did Jillian Michaels kickboxing – Turbofire sounds awesome – a mix of dance and kickboxing – totally up my alley! Never heard of it before! 🙂
I am always looking for a fun way to shake things up! I have done Insanity but would love to try Turbofire!
My favorite at home workout is Jackie Warner’s Xtreme Time Saver. If I am working out at home it is due to a time crunch and this workout gets it done in 30 minutes.
My girl J. Michaels has it down. So intimidating even through my TV! Insanity has been on my to do list.
Thanks Livi and Bella!!
I, too, would love Turbo Fire. I am close to finishing up Bootcamp at my gym and am ready to go back to an at-home option, but I want it to be challenging!
My at-home workout of choice is the treadmill. It’s not as fun as running outdoors, but you can watch your favorite tv shows while working out.
I haven’t done many at home videos other than yoga but 30 day shred is my top go-to.
I like to do Barre or Jackie Warner workouts at home. Thanks for the chance 🙂
My favorite at home workout would be running the stairs up to my apartment over and over again and doing the free workouts Tone It Up offers on there youtube.
I am desperate need of some variety 😉
For my inspiration to get off the couch I like to follow healthy living bloggers like you! 🙂
xx
Does running outside count as “at-home?” If not then I like to do a Jillian Michaels DVD or p90 plyo.
My fav at home workout is pilates and barre work.
I subscribe to all of the womens health, self, runner’s world, and fitness magazines so I always try to pick out some of the more challenging workouts from the mags. I have done Insanity a few times and loved it!
I have been wanting to try TurboFire!! Seems like a great workout! My favorite at home workout is getting outside and running 🙂
Zumba all the way!! If I have to be self motivating I need it to be fun!! SO the dance meets kickboxing sounds like a perfect fit for me!!
Lately I’ve been doing Crossfit WODs at home. LOVE functional fitness! 🙂
I haven’t really found an at-home workout option that I love but I do like having a treadmill at home (at my… mom’s house which is a billion hours away, haha). Would love to find something that keeps my attention! Thanks Bella & Livi 😀
Right now, my favorite at home workout is walking and the Les Mills BodyPump (at 8 months pregnant!). LOVE Bodypump!
I love to run outside, when the weather is nice. Today, for example, was beautiful. Sunny and 65 degrees! I also like to Zumba on the Wii or DVD, when I can’t make the gym!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I love doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I’ve always seen progress when doing that video.
Oh My!!! This may be the best give away ever! I want Insanity so bad! I currently don’t have access to much 🙁 Health problems deplete financials horribly… but if I hadn’t had the problem I wouldn’t have made such an amazing life change. I guess everything happens for a reason. For now, I walk… boring I know but at least I’m moving 🙂
I’ve been following Chalene since Turbo Jam came out – she’s may favorite at-home option!
I love any Bob Harper workout dvd!
My favorite at home workout tend to come from your site. Or if my boyfriend isn’t home a good zumba session rocks… my dog usually looks at me like “mom’s gone off the reservation again…”
I love Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred for a quick kick in the pants. It’s short, but serves as a total body workout when I’m in a pinch!
Crossfit!!!!! The possibilities are endless, and I love that it focuses on high intensity, constantly varied, functional movements. That being said, I would love to try insanity!
I looove Insanity and zumba so I would love to try out turbofire!
Holy Jesus @ almost 1300 comments!
Anyway, I usually hit up OnDemand and find something that isn’t too corny. A program like this would be helpful for sure!
I love to do anything I can do with my dog…walking, running, and swimming are his favorites!
I love to pull random routines together including running up my basement stairs, jumping jacks, etc. in a circuit-style workout! Also have a small collection of Jackie Warner and Bob Harper DVDs, but would love to add Insanity to the mix! Hugs to Livi and Bella!
Jillian Michael’s 30 day shred rocks
My favorite at-home workout option is to do a Jillian Michaels DVD– better yet, two sections from one of her DVDs. I love the newest: Extreme Shed & Shred. It has two levels that you can combine for a total ass-kicking 75 minute workout 🙂 I also love yogadownload.com and have never been anything less than thrilled with any of their audio/video options.
If you’ve got a daughter named Olivia, she’s going to be the star of the Family Name Game tomorrow morning! Becky and I will want to hear all about her between 8 and 8:10. The first person thru will win some meals to Chick-fil-A too. First or middle name counts…pass it on too, if you’ve got a friend with a daughter named Olivia! – Brennan Thought of you Gina if you go to WGST 91.9 WEBSITE. I love Zuzanas new youtube!
I love setting up a mini boot camp at home. It’s one of the few things that can keep me interested!
I love to workout with kettlebells with my kids.
I roll out my yoga mat and do my own bootcamp! I do bootcamp-style workouts with a trainer twice a week, and I write down the exercises I like so I can kick my own butt at home. My boyfriend always laughs at my burpees and V-ups 🙂
Lately I’ve been loving on Bodyrock 🙂
I actually love Turbo Jam, but I really want to try insanity! Thanks for this awesome give away!
