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 Yogalosophy & Zumba on the Wii. Have been dying to try Insanity & Turbo fire. Dont even know how I could decide if I won 🙂 But I hope I get the chance to try hahahaha
Running! And dancing around the house with my pup!
My favorite choice is Jillian’s 30 day Shred because it is a super fast, yet effective work out (and even with three little ones, I can find 20 minutes to work out!)
Definitely Bodyrockers. But I’ve really wanted to try Insanity!!
Zumba or hula dvds.
I love me a bit of Jillian Michaels, but trying something new would be so so exciting! Thanks Livi and Bella! 🙂
If I am not hopping on the elliptical, I like to do a Jillian or a Barre 3 dvd. Both are tough, but Sadie is just nicer about it.
My favorite at home workouts are the Nike app and Jillian Michaels DVDs. I also really like doing the P90X workouts, the yoga workout is intense! I would have such a hard time choosing between Insanity and Turbofire, they both sound amazing!
I have tried Insanity and almost died! I wish I was kidding but I am not. I was a big P90x-er, but I would love to try Turbofire!
I love outdoor workouts at home…hiking, biking, jogging, dog walking….anything that involves fresh air:)
I love how many comments you get on your posts… shows how much love you spread around. And it’s even lovelier to see how many you get on giveaway days!!
My favorite at-home and on-the-road-hotel-room (I travel for work) workouts are yoga and resistance bands. I keep a resistance band and a travel mat in my suitcase. Knowing that the suitcase is their home helps me when I’m on the road and the hotel gym is crappy. I never have to wonder if I have my equipment because they automatically get put back there when I use them at home!
I really enjoy Jillian Michaels’ workout dvd’s. Quick and sweaty!
My favorite at home workout currently is yoga. Although I haven’t tried too many different ones since my steppin’ days as a kid in the ’90s…oh what memories!!!! Choosing between Turbofire or Insanity would be hard. I’ve heard such amazing things about both!
Hey! Thanks for the give away! I like bodyrocktv.com! It’s awesome!
I’ve always loved Ellen Barrett’s Crunch DVDs, and the free workouts on the Yoga Today website gave me a wonderful foundation for my yoga practice. Great giveaway!
I LOVE pilates at home! Getting creative and making a circuit workout that incorporates cleaning the house is fun and productive, too! 🙂
I would love the non-insanity one! Awesome! Thanks Gina 🙂
I usually stick with Yoga at home or a few freeweights. I would love to try one of these, I’ve heard so much about both of them!
Love Insanity already, but would love to try the other one 🙂
Ooo! I’d love this one!
I’d love love the turbo fire one. It just seems super fun. My favorite at home workout would be the whole plethora to choose from on the fit-tv on demand channel and body rock of course!!
I love doing the “Skinny Girl” workouts at home and Jackie Warner’s Circuit Training! I would love the Insanity video! 🙂 Thanks for the great giveaway!
What a great giveaway! : ) I love old school TaeBo tapes when I work out at home.
I love Jillian Michaels’ DVDs!
Love Bodyrock and ZWOWs. Thank you!
Yay! Bodyrock all the way 🙂
First, that pizza looks A-mazing.
Secondly, I’d love to try insanity. I’ve never been so good with choreography (I remember trying to do Jane Fonda workouts with my mom when I was a kid– didn’t go so well 😉 Insanity seems more up my alley.
My fave is taking my baby in the stroller and doing some lifts with her .. Or walking while wearing her. Also love bodyrock.
My favorite at home workout is jillian Michael’s 30 day shred. A good combo of cardio and weights in 30 minutes 🙂
I really like The Firm workout videos.
Tracy anderson. she gets you burning!
I got the Skogg Kettlebell DVD set for Christmas and really like it so far. I also like Rodney Yee’s AM yoga and am looking foward to trying some of the youtube videos. Thank you for the giveaway. I think I would like to try Insanity next if I won : )
I would love to try Insanity. Some of my co-workers have tried it and said its a killer work out. Right now I am enjoying Zumba dance dvds with my Mom whenever I go home. We crack up because we have no dance ability whatsoever but its a great work out and a lot of fun!
Hey there! Long time reader, first time comment..er? lol.
Fave at home work out: Yogadownload.com 🙂 Thanks for introducing me to it! I’ve fallen for Dawnelle and find it to be a great compliment to my running.
I do Jillian Michael’s dvds at home. I would love to try one of those programs though!
I’d love Turbo Fire! This is awesome!
fav at home workout is prob just turning on exercise TV on demand and picking a random 20-30 min workout! for when i dont have time for a run
I love Jillian Michaels workout if I’m in a hurry. I also like doing YouTube workouts.
I have been doing 30 day shred and loving it! It’s the perfect all in one workout. I also enjoy pop pilates and have gotten many of my girlfriends hooked on it!
I just downloaded the Nike Training Club app for my iPhone the other day, and I LOVE it! It kicks my butt every time.
I love the workout I get from p90x, but I can’t stand tony’s personality, I usually put it on mute! I wold love to try something new!
Windsor Pilates DVDs with the sculpting circle:)
I have been doing TurboFire for about a year and I love, love, love it! That being said I have been considering getting Insanity and so I would love to win that one!
I love any and every Jillian Michaels video.
Wowza! What a great giveaway! I LOVED LOVED LOVED turbo jam, so I’m going to have to go with Turbo Fire! Thanks!!
Love P90X Ab Ripper!
Fun! I love Jillian Michaels DVD’s! I really want to try out Turbo Fire since I love Turbo Kick so much and the Turbo Kick class at my gym got switched to a different class!
This is also my first post. I stumbled across your blog by accident and thoroughly enjoy your daily posts. I love that you fill us in on what you eat along with the pictures of the food and food products. I’m tyring the breakfast cookie tomorrow! The exercise and fitness posts are awesome too. Keep up the good work!
I’m currently enjoy working out at home to Chalene Extreme, so I would be interested in trying out her Turbo Fire! Thanks for all of the great information.
Zuzana’s new ZWOW workouts are my favorite way to work out at home. I also love putting workouts together using the Women’s Health Big Book of Fitness. They are a lifesaver in the winter when my motivation is waning.
I am obsessed with Jillian Michaels. She’s kinda mean sometimes but she is always encouraging she really delivers results. I rock climb and go to spinning and yoga but I always fit Jillian into my week! I’ve gotten my mom into her DVDs too! 🙂
I’d have to go with Bodyrock!
