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

Zuzkalight uploads to Youtube. I don’t know why, but there is just something I really like about Zuzana: her attitude and her workouts, it’s all great. 😀
I love yoga videos! Yoga download is fab- and I’d imagine with a baby on the way I’ll need a lot more at home options!!!
I’ve been working much longer hours lately and find that working out at home is the only way I’m going to fit in working out in my day! Having a new workout program for home would be awesome 🙂
I’m always loved Zuzana so my favorite home workout would have to be the videos from her ZuzkaLight channel on YouTube!
My favorite at home workouts are usually just weight lifting. One day I will have a full weight set to make it more effective 🙂 I would love to have an actual workout like this to do at home, since I have none! I would definitely love the Insanity workouts!!
I haven’t worked out in a looong time….more than 6 months. I’ve heard great things about Turbofire!
I love doing yoga or pop pilates at home! 🙂
I am a second year medical student and LOVE being active and mixing things up, but do not always have the time. Running is always a fabulous option but it is nice to mix things up. I found that bob harpers yoga videos are super similar to the hot yoga classes I used to take. They are power flow and get your heart racing and your muscles aching. Nothing feels better then getting a great sweat out of a workout and this video is AMAZING for that. Thanks for everything, your posts have been very helpful and add a fun blast to the day 🙂
the new york city ballet workout 😀
My favorite workout at home is running, but I also love Turbo Jam and would love to try Turbo Fire. Thanks for the chance to win!
Bodyrock all the way! They’re killer.
OMG I just tried the Dancing with the Stars dvd today. It is my new face workout!
Turbofire!!! Which I found out about through this blog 🙂
I love doing yoga at home. I have a couple of DVDs and I love some of the yoga podcasts for days when I don’t feel like going to the gym.
I love switching it up between all the different options on Cable. It’s a great way to get lots of variety. I also have some great pilates DVD’s.
I love doing yoga or pilates at home as well, usually stuff from netflix or the library. It makes me feel great physically and mentally afterwards!
I love using the Nike Training Club app on my ipod. It walks you through many different workouts ranging from 15-45 minutes! LOVE 🙂
I LOVEEEE working out at home to zumba videos or other dance related videos.
There’s nothing better than working up a sweat and looking like a fool in your own living room 🙂
I love the Jillian Michaels videos because they’re short but still effective! I would love a more intense program though!
The 30 Day Shred when I need to sweat at home!
My favorite at home workout is using my old coffee table in my basement as a high step for some booty-blasting step aerobics!
I am a big fan of body rock and making at home circuits! That way there is never an excuse to miss a workout!
I LOVE watching the Tone It Up girl’s quick videos for at-home workouts!! They are so inspiring and fun! I also like to do a little on-Demanding on tv! (:
I love doing Turbo Jam at home, love me Chalene!
I have a love/hate relationship with P90X
I usually turn on some music and do my own thing, usually because I haven’t found a video I like…. But usually I try free ones. Been meaning to try both of them though
I love doing yoga DVD’s at home, Spinervals on my spin bike, or a circuit workout with weights, jump rope and a kettle bell.
As a mom of four I love at home work outs! Since reading your review I have been researching Turbo Fire for a few weeks! I would love to win!!
I love bodyrock.tv, I’ve been doing their 30 day challenges and I’m hooked!
I use the couch to 5K app for running!
Zumba DVDs are fab as well!! Everyone should dance a little bit everyday!
I have a soft spot for Mari Windsor Pilates, but when I want to get my sweat going I like Tracey Mallett’s Boot Camp.
Before I was brave enough to go to the gym (and I was hugely inspired by this blog!), I would do Jillian Michaels DVDs at home. Now I totally love the gym, and I quite regularly use your awesome workouts…even my husband has noticed a difference 🙂
How sweet of your friends!!! I love surprises like that! I like to run on our treadmill and I try to lift weights as much as I can but we are pretty limited with space/equipment!
I love doing dance games on the Wii! It’s nice to have the option to look like a fool in the comfort of my own home 🙂
I loveeee me some Jillian Michaels DVDs in a pinch!
My tried and true at-home workout has always been running! I don’t have any DVDs [yet 😉 ]
The only workout I do at home is use our (very old) treadmill. I’d love to try a workout DVD!
I usually am a gym rat but just had a little baby girl 9 days ago. So, I’m checking out all of the at-home workout options. I would love a chance to try either of these programs! BTW, I am addicted to your blog…I love reading that you’ve gone through some of the same struggles as I have with breastfeeding, etc.
So far my faves have been Jillians Shred and I’m doing Shaun T now… so fun, so hard!!
I’ve loved doing at home workout videos since I was little and would do the Jane Fonda workout my aunt had at her house. Lately I’ve been doing Zumba because I’m too chicken to take a class! Turbofire sounds like fun!
I like pilates dvds to sweat it out at home.
Insanity!
Thanks to you I just started doing zumba DVDs and I am loving it! I work nights am a single mom so I have to find time to work out here and there. I have had my eye on Insanity for a while now 🙂 I love your blog, you are inspirational I know if you can fit in a workout even having a newborn, then so can I!
Insanity is my all time favorite, but as of yesterday I tried POP pilates and I’m loving that now!
My favorite at home workout is yoga!!!!
Your giveaways are the best! I love doing either Leslie Sansone or Jillian Michaels workout dvds at home!
I like doing Yoga at home 🙂 I don’t have room for doing much else in my tiny apartment!
Ana Forrest yoga videos 🙂
What a fantastic giveaway! I love doing HIIT workouts in my tiny studio apartment…while I watch Friends on DVD. Who needs music when you have Ross and Rachel?!
I have insanity, p90x, and many Jillian michaels DVDs to work out at home, also recently started pop Pilates. I’m dying to try turbo fire!!
Thanks for the giveaway! I love Jillian Michael’s videos. They are perfect for rainy days when I just don’t want to leave the house and don’t require much room, which is ideal.
I’d love to try the Turbo Fire! It’s really hard for me to workout at home, but I think this would be an awesome workout!
