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 right now is Physique 57, it has totally transformed my body after having my baby last year. I almost thought I would never be myself again! I would love to try turbofire, I have Insanity and lurve it!!!
My best option is WiiFit, but I’ve been wanting to get some workout DVDs so this would be great !!
My favorite at home workout is going for a good long brisk walk or run first thing in the morning when the world is still quiet and all mine. 🙂
what an amazing giveaway! i use jillian michaels DVDs- either ripped in 30 or the 30 day shred. i’ve done p90x in the past, and love beachbody workouts and would love a chance to win!
I love Jillian Michaels DVDs, but I have been wanting to try Insanity for a while!
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your blog – especially all the baby posts cause my little guy was born just 3 weeks after Liv. It’s been really fun reading about all your new mom adventures since I’m in the same boat. Keep up the great work! 🙂
My favorite at home workouts include Body Rock, Zuzka Light on Youtube and plain old dancing around my living room like a lunatic…..
My husband is a personal trainer, so we have quite the mini-gym set up in the basement. I love a good HIIT or total body weights workout at home!
I am currently working with Jillian Michael’s right now but I also enjoy BockRockTV.
My favorite at home work out is yoga. I love going in our spare bedroom for some alone time with my mat.
I love doing Bodyrock if I can’t make t to the gym!
My favorite part of working out at home is that there’s so much to choose from! I like to piece together workout clips on YouTube from Tone it Up, Pop Pilates, and Tracy Anderson. Or just turn on music and dance 🙂
I am pretty simple with Jillian Michael’s new 30 minute workout DVD, so winning one of these would be an awesome way to spice it up!
I have been experimenting with bodyrock lately but wishing I had an instructor to push me through. Would love to try turbofire!! I hear it’s fun!
I love BodyRock! Quick and sweaty goodness 🙂
Sometimes I get inspired Blythe concept of working out wth just ny body weight. You’d be surprised how much you can do without any equipment. I’ve made myself pretty sore by playing around with different and positions for push ups and foot placement for lunges.
I absolutely loooove doing at-home yoga off of DVR or doing Wii boxing 🙂
My favorite workout option at home would have to be Bodyrock or any of the DVD’s I’ve managed to stock up on.
My favorite at home workout these days would be the PIYO I heard about on your blog. I do believe it was a guest post but it was a great suggestion, I now have four of the DVD’s and love each one!
My favorite workout at home is the Exercise OnDemand channel! So many options!
I run outside when the weather permits, but for a rainy day I love the Physique 57 Dvd’s. I’ve been wanting to give Insanity or TurboFire a go though!

New York CIty Ballet’s stretch dvd
What an amazing giveaway! Woo hoo! I usually just create circuit workouts at home, so I’d love to try something new!!! 🙂
Ive been doing a lot of workouts at home boot camp style found on pinterest. Its free, makes me sweat, and no excuses!
My first comment…ever! I’ve fallen in love with your blog…so much good info on food and exercise and even that occasional fashion update (and i work at Ann Taylor so I love that you included our stripes in your last fashion post – hehe)! Anyway, I don’t work out at home very often but when I do I enjoy YOGAmazing! It’s a free podcast from iTunes – it’s pretty good! I also will occasionally borrow the abs class of p90x from my neighbor 😛 Thanks for having such a great blog with great info! Consider yourself book-marked 🙂
yay! thank you so much for saying hi 🙂
I love working out at home! And with a little one on the way I could definitely use some more variety. My favorite home workouts are doing videos. It keeps me motivated to keep going. I also enjoy running/jogging outside. I can’t wait to get back to that.
I like Jillian Michael’s 30 day shred. It’s a super quick & but challenging workout when you cant make it to the gym!
I love walking! Boring, but t’s my fave!
I love to go for a run outside if weather permits. If that isn’t possible i like Jillian Michaels 30 day shred workout DVD.
PS
i love reading your blog and your new baby is just the cutest!! congrats!
My favorite at home workouts would have to be yoga and Zumba. I’m new to Zumba and look like a complete dork, I’m sure, but at least it’s at home where the only ones who see me are my daughter (who Zumba’s with me) and my dogs. I’m also a Chalene fan, so anything Turbo is good, although I’ve only tried Turbo Jam so far.
Beautiful baby! Congratulations!
If I’m working out at home, I love to do P57 videos or Jari Love weights videos. I also love insanity, and id really love to try turbo fire!
I love doing yoga or pilates at home!! Or running around with three silly kids!
P.S. Livi is such a cutie!!
I like getting my namaste yoga on at home, because I always feel self conscious doing yoga in public. I would LOVE some TurboFire to bust my booty over summer and keep me occupied (high school teacher so I have 2 months off)
Having a new job with longer hours and longer commute has made me truly appreciate the time I do get to work out at home when I can’t make it to the gym…lately I have been doing Yoga off of YouTube or circuit workouts in my living room, but I am also a fan of Turbo Jam and Jillian Michael’s workout videos. Have always wanted to try Turbo Fire!
I love bodyrock for at home workouts!
I use my EA sports for the wii a lot but I also love the on demand fitness channel. It has lots of workouts so there is always something that sounds fun.
I love spark people’s DVD’s.. all different kinds and they always keep it interesting!
I don’t have many options for working out at home – usually run, bike or head to the gym, but I do love doing kicking drills in the pool in the summer – it is a complete change!
Hello! I’ve been following your blog for a few months now but this is my first comment 🙂 My hubby is also a pilot but flys commercially for the airlines. I would love to win the Turbofire DVDs. I workout both at the gym and at home and I think these DVDs would be awesome!
Thanks!
I don’t really have a specific at home workout option – I sometimes do youtube videos, but I’ve always wanted to get some DVDs especially Insanity.
Since I had some issues with my back lately I’ve been doing these Yoga videos on youtube…they’re all in japanese (?) but they work amazing for me and I can still watch and see what I have to do. Maybe I will even learn another language while doing so lol.

My first time commenting, and I just want to say THANK YOU. Not only for the great health and fitness tips, but for making me feel like I know you- and your newly-expanded family 🙂 As for at-home workouts, you’ve gotten me into Bodyrock- quick AND kicks my butt!
I’m just starting out with Beach Body’s Brazilian Butt Lift… my buns are so sore right now but I love it!
Hi Gina! My favorite at home workout currently involves bands… nothing special just different exercises using the bands. I also have started getting into running and I am following the Couch to 5K program! LOVE IT 🙂 Thanks.
I used to love doing the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels. It was nice that it was only 30 minutes but I got bored doing the same workouts all the time. I’ve heard great things about turbo fire. I love the turbo class at my gym.
I’d love to win!
Much like everyone else, I love BodyRock and Jillian Michaels. In high school I used to do Billy Blank’s Tae Bo and it was awesome!!
I love doing yoga at home. I also walk a mile every night around my block and ride my bike 5 miles every Sunday – I would love, love, love to try the Turbofire! What an awesome giveaway!
i must say, i do love p90x but not all of it! specifically, i enjoy the core synergystics and the yoga x videos! i have heard that insanity is, well, insane.
It’s a toss up between a speedy Jillian Michaels DVD or dancing around to loud music for hours 🙂
