otiti paki: This or That: Health & Fitness

This survey dedicated to health and fitness has been making its way around several blogs I follow, including this great one and this fab one. Figured I would join in on the fun!

1. Run/workout in the heat and humidity or freezing temps and snow?
Heat and humidity! Case in point:

2. Have washboard abs or flat abs?
Yes, please. Hah! In all seriousness, given that I was once well over 200 lbs. I?ll settle some semi-flat abs.

3. Dr. Oz or The Doctors?
Dr. Google.

4. Cardio or strength?
Strength! My body is changing every day since I started my own program three months ago.

5. Cravings: Protein or carbs?
Carbs! Namely, cereal.

6. Jillian Michaels or Bob Harper?
Jillian. She always knows it?s NEVER just about the food or lack of exercise.

7. Frozen Yogurt or Ice Cream?
Frozen yogurt for sure. Favorite flavor = cake batter. Favorite toppings = shredded coconut, strawberries, pineapple and chocolate chips.

8. To train: Upper body or Lower body?
Ooohh, tough one. I?ll go with favorite moves: Upper body = tricep dips (so hard!), lower body = deadlifts.

9. Protein powder or food with protein?
Both. Being a weight-lifting vegetarian, I need to boost my daily macros with protein powder. I typically add it to Greek yogurt and smoothies.

10. Lunges or squats?
Weighted squats for sure.

11. Sweet or salty?
Sweet. Always sweet.

12. Workout attire: cute or comfy?
Cute.

13. Body Pump or Heavy lifting?
Heavy lifting. Body Pump goes too fast for me?I feel like I could injury myself.

14. Yoga or Pilates?
Pilates. It?s crazy how effective it is.

15. Nike or Adidas?
Nike. I am obsessed with these tanks and my Nike Frees!

16. Running on the treadmill or outdoors?
Outdoors. It?s a surprisingly great ab workout with all the hills and dips in the sidewalks, trails, etc.

17. Whole Foods or Trader Joe?s?
Trader Joe?s without a doubt. Have you HAD their almond butter?!

18. Summer or Winter Olympics?
After much discussion with my spouse, I have decided the Summer are my preference.

19. Exercises classes or Exercise videos?
Classes. Step is my favorite.

20. Steamed veggies or roasted veggies?
Roasted. My spouse is the king of roasting veggies ? his garlic-roasted broccoli and cauliflower are better than French fries!

Tell me ? working out in hot or cold weather? Whole Foods or Trader Joe?s?
