This or That?

Here goes it..

1. Coffee or Tea?
I do both, wake up with coffee, maybe 2. Chai Latte can go in the mix. My favorite teas are Green Tea with a little honey and Chai Green Tea w/a little honey. Yum!!

2. Morning or Evening Workouts?
Lately, I have flipped flopped. Since, the weather has been COLD, I've been having a harder time waking up to get my workouts in, so I've done them in the evenings, after my girls are in bed.

3. Spinning to Music or TV?? It really depends on my mood, sometimes I'll watch something on my DVR, sometimes, I just want to turn up the music!!

4. Cravings: Sugar or Sweet?
Lately, it's been SWEETS. Go figure, since there is Halloween candy all over the house.

5. Jumping Jacks or Standing Mountain Climbers?
Dude, both of them are killer!! However, SMC are crazier, works the core too!!

6. Tony Horton or Shaun T?
Shaun T is Bananas, yo!

7. Living Room or Garage Workout?
Garage but I still take it indoors.

8. Weights or Kettle Bells?
Both are awesome for an overall workout. I've been a bar kind-of-girl for the last 9 weeks. 
I have picked up the kb for some halo's and russian twists. 

9. Smoothies or Juices?
Hmmm, smoothies are my friend. And, I kind of want to venture into the juicing world but I'm not in a hurry. And, I actually haven't had a smoothie in a few week. STILL on the search for a perfect blender. :D

10. Butt Kicks or High Kicks?
Wheww, High Kicks!

Go, go, go; Answer them yourself.

This or That?


It's 'Questionnaire Tuesday' on October's Blog a day! Join in, Link up!!


This or That?
1.  Run/workout in the heat and humidity or freezing temps and snow?
I've done them both, in a few different weather conditions, it doesn't stop me; Running in the Fabulous San Diego Weather to Running in the Dry California Desert to Humid Hot Texas Weather to currently Cooler Rainy Washington Weather. It doesn't matter, as long as I don't bust my ass. 
2. Have washboard abs or flat abs?
In all honestly, just a flat looking tummy to work on getting defined. After 3 babies in about 5 years, my stomach area took a beautiful beating. The excess skin is proof that I carried children, as are the stretch marks and I wouldn't trade them in. It's always a work in progress.
3. Dr. Oz or The Doctors?
Hmmmm, I've never really watched either shows.
4. Cardio or strength?
Both, I love to SWEAT!! Running, Spinning, Ellipticalln',  Lifting, Kettlebelling, Kickboxing (with Jillian), Getting in some Intense Yoga, .....I could go on,....burn, baby, burn!
5. Cravings: Protein or carbs?
Carbs!! Protein!! Carbs!! Protein!! I crave both.
6. Jillian Michaels or Bob Harper?
Both!! I love her kick ass attitude and love his drive to get it done harder!! 
7. Frozen Yogurt or Ice Cream?
I haven't had either in such a long time. And, I'm okay with that.
8. To train: Upper body or Lower body?
Lower Body usually wins, lately it's been the upper body I've been focusing on.
9. Protein powder or food with protein?
Food with protein! I don't do powders, just can't wrap my head around it.
10. Lunges or squats? 
Definitely Squats! Lunges always get me and currently flared up my bum knee! Definitely staying away from those.
11. Sweet or salty?
Mmmm, I love them both!! At the same time even, that's right I said it! Don't judge!
12. Workout attire: cute or comfy?
Comfy Cute, after all I'm a girl who loves to coordinate!! Sure, I often get told my socks don't match because they aren't supposed to, Leanna got me in that crazy loud neon sock craze. When I'm at home, I'm usually in workout compression short and a tank. When I'm in public, it's compression capris or tights with tank or tee. 
13. Body Pump or Heavy lifting?
Oh La La!! I've taken a few body pump classes. And, found Les Mills Pump to be in the family. I love it and I'm currently on my 2nd round!! Halfway through, Lifting anywhere from 20-35lbs on the bar during the insane rep effects!!. I also, pre-ordered the next program, Les Mills Combat!! 
14. Yoga or Pilates?
I've actually fallen in love with a yoga/pilates combo!!
15. Nike or Adidas?
Nike, all the way.
16. Running on the treadmill or outdoors?
Outdoors!  
17. Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s?
I h ave yet to visit Trader Joe's and it's about 5 minutes from my place. Whoops!
18. Summer or Winter Olympics?
Either!! Too much awesomeness to handle!
19. Exercises classes or Exercise videos?
I've always enjoyed classes but for the last year I've been stuck at home. Not too bad, I sneak it in the early mornings, naptime or at night.
20. Steamed veggies or roasted veggies?
Roasted! 
Your turn!  Pick a few and share your answers!
