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 invested in some 10 lb weights and do about 30 minutes of weights when I can’t bring myself to change out of my pjs and go to the gym. 🙂
Jillian Michaels always kicks my butt – no matter how good of shape I’m in!
My favorite is step – I have one at home and a couple of videos to lead me through the workout!
Amazing giveaway, wow! I love p90x or any of the Jillian michaels DVDs. 🙂
I love Tae-bo DVDs! Also, Jillian Michaels.
I like doing the physique 57 dvds or yoga downloads!!
My go to workout at the moment is 30 day shred
I mix it up with P90-X, Insanity, Cathe Friedrich and yoga at home! I would love to try Turbo Fire.
Wow thanks for the giveaway!
My favourite at home workout is One Fit Foodie’s 480 workout. It kicks my butt every time!
I actually really like the Carmen Elektra cardio striptease DVDs, but only ever do the actual workout one that doesn’t involve any stripper moves. It leaves my muscles shaking!
Hey! Love your blog! I love to do Bob Harper at home workouts and Physique 57 since I live in Austin, and don’t have a studio close by…
I’m a bodyrocktv girl at heart!
This is my first time commenting, but I read religiously! My favorite at-home workouts are not really at home, I’m a big runner so I LOVE running! When I come home I like to make up circuits with ideas from crossfit, tabata, p90x, or things I just make up! I also use items around the house when I dont have the right equipment…chairs, gallons of milk..etc. I have been wanting to buy insanity or turbofire, I’m moving to NYC and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to afford a gym membership there!
Love Turbofire! I really look forward to working out everyday after work because the music is awesome and Chalean is inspiring!
I enjoy working out on my wii fit!!!
at home workout would have to be yoga in the bedroom with candles!
Ripped in 30 or running outside are my go to at home workouts!
I love Jillian Michaels DVDs. I’ve only tried the 30 day shred, but for short workouts they’re pretty tough!
Well, I’m a runner through and through, but I really enjoy doing the Tone It Up workouts at home, as well as Hip Hop Abs! I’d absolutely love to get Insanity since Shaun T., the guy who did HHA’s, is the creator!
Mine is good ol’ fashioned Tae Bo. Love me some Billy Blanks!
Would love to try TurboFire!
I love doing Wai Lana yoga dvds at home but would love to try Turbo Fire!
Oooh. That would be awesome, I’ve been trying to decide whether to splurge on one (or both, lol) of those. My fav at home workout is actually Dance Dance Revolution, you know with the dance pad? Though I’m running out of ones I haven’t done. 🙂
Jillian Michaels. Her short workouts are so effective!
I have Insanity and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I would love to try TurboFire! Thank you so much for this opportunity! I love reading your blog 🙂
At home, I like doing The Firm DVDs and Turbofire. I purchased it on your advice. 🙂
Lately it’s just been the treadmill in the garage and free weights!
Have enjoyed Yoga for Weight Loss dvd in the past but am looking for something new!
Ok…so I have been DREAMING of those macaroons ever since I was so lucky to taste them OVER A YEAR AGO. I have ventured to try and make them, bought commercial macaroons, and NOTHING beats the lemon lavender! and now we can fuel with roons and then burn the cals off with Turbo fire?! I’m in love.
I like to do dance-cardio videos at home or simple tabata style workouts! Thanks Gina! 🙂
Right now I’m really enjoying p90x and I was just researching what to do next. These are the two I’m deciding between.
Favorite at home work-out is Jillian- 30 day shred is short and sweet. I’d love to try either of those though!
Like many I am Bodyrocker and I commit to the gym at least twice a week… but honestly sometimes I put my Ipod on shuffle and just make it up. Different songs will inspire different ‘moves’! Of course this only happens when my husband is not home.
*I am a
My favorite at home would be turbo fire! If I hadn’t lost them in the last move! I could really use the new set! So for now my fave is walking/jogging outside!
I love working out with weights at home & doing yoga to yoga tv
What an awesome giveaway! I’ve been wanting to try Turbofire but just couldn’t afford it on a college student budget 🙂 My favorite at home work-outs are yoga videos OnDemand. I’m also not going to turn down a Wifit challenge with friends!
Thanks for the giveaway!! I’m kind of a gym rat, but I do like lifting weights in my living room! Either of these videos would be a wonderful challenge for me!!
I really like body rock. It is quick, easy and effective
I’m just getting back into the workout thang after a long hiatus with some yoga dvds. I really like one with Ms. Jillian Michaels. I need someone to intimidate me from the other side of my tv screen 🙂
I like to try new things at home that I don’t do all the time such as yoga. I really like ab videos or on demand ab workouts that are short but effective, change up routine, and give me ideas. I also like fun workouts that you dance to since you can just throw it in and have a little fun on a day you don’t go to the gym.
I have always done Tae Bo or run on the treadmill! I would love to win this 😀
I’m a big fan of at home workouts since I quite the gym almost two years ago…the best part is since I stopped doing chronic cardio, I gained a lot of muscle tone.
My favorite home workout is a Tae-Bo DVD or jumping rope mixed with time on my treadmill.
I enjoy my Jackie Warner DVD which is a challenging workout in 30 minutes! Thanks for the giveaway!!
I’m in love with working out at home– it’s such a time saver! I love Jillian Michaels’ DVDs, as well as the Physique 57 set. And I’d love to try TurboFire next!
I like doing my own version of a boot camp at home with some dumbbells!
i love doing yoga podcasts when i have a few minutes at home to squeeze a work out in 🙂
I’m doing TurboFire right now! I got it for Christmas and it is great. I would LOVE to try Insanity!
I’d love turbofire! I remember chalene from so many infomercials when i was in high school!
My fav home workout is doing walking lunges across the living room while blasting pandora on the iPod. I’ve been wanting to try Insanity since I read about it on your blog-awesome giveaway!
I love my Zumba dvd’s!
