I am a “Bodyrocker” and one of the big reasons I created this blog was to create a place to connect and share with other moms, record results and experiences for our daily workouts.
Here is the Bodyrock link. Once you get to the site click on “Home workouts”, and then go into “All Workouts” and click on the post that is 3 days behind. I workout 3 days behind the Bodyrock posts so I don’t have to worry about when they are going to updated it for each day. Each morning I will post my results for the workout of that day and I hope the rest of you will join me. If you would like to have that extra push and accountability, click the link to follow the Memom Body-n-mind blog and each week the daily posting will be reviewed. If there is anyone who needs some extra motivation an email with some words of encouragement can be sent. Speaking from experience this is best coming from a third party person…a husband offering the…and I quote “don’t you need to be working out”, in a very supportive way, doesn’t always have the same affect…trust me, or you can ask my husband. If you check out the site and think, that you would rather go for a run or hike or some other kind of physical activity, please still log your daily workout, and get connected…us moms need to feel connected.

So get your journal book to record your times and numbers…because you’ll want to refer back and see how much you’ve improved over time and then you can set out to beat YOUR personal best.

Here is a link for a free online interval timer that you can use for the workouts.
Remember to always do a warm-up and stretch and a cool-down and stretch for each workout…the Bodyrock site has an example of those posted as well.

Hot Body Workout

I squeezed this workout in yesterday after getting home from selling some plants for a school shin-dig and getting ready to cook a Mother's Day dinner. I'm glad I did it, I helps me take the edge off my mood even though I'm fighting a sinus thing...maybe all that extra blood flow will increase the recovery time...lets hope!! Today however, I just took it somewhat easy and did some outside chores, gardening, cleaned the car...enjoyed the sunshine!!!  Here are my scores:
Side Lunge Jump: 50, 48, 50
Reptile Push-ups : 15, 11, 14 (these are brutal, brutal, brutal)
V-Crunch: 40, 33, 35
Prisoner Squat: 30, 33, 30 (my buttocks are feeling this still)
Hanging Knee Raises:23, 25, 25

Cut the Cheese Workout

Yesterday I took the day off and let my body recover from the last few days.  Today I tucked this workout in the afternoon, while my little one looked on and kept asking me if I was ok!!!, Oh to know that someone cares...I must have looked a sight for such concern.  I liked the breakdown for this workout, it was a nice mix-up.  The plank reptiles were really something...but with the help of my little coach I got through it...here are my scores:
Plank Jump and Reptile: 14, 14, 13, 11, 13, 11
Diamond push-ups: funfun
Leg Lift and Toe Touch: 12, 11, 10, 10, 10, 9
Reverse Push-up
Sandbag Sumo Squat: 15, 14, 15, 14, 15, 14

ABs Now! Workout

This afternoon I did this workout which I huffed and puffed through.  By the end my abs were burning along with my thighs, butt and shoulders.  The super girl planks were fun fun...almost tied with the sumo squats and jump lunges, but the winner for me today was the jump forwards/2jump backs...burn burn.  I completed this workout in 22:53 and did have Cargo with me for the ride...I was done and tired after finishing up...tomorrow might be a total rest day for me...we'll see.

Bouldering Again

Saturday rock climbing classes started again, so I hit the bouldering walls and had some good climbs.  I got some great tips from other climbers regarding techniques to try so I'll put them into action this week or at least try.  My forearms and shoulders are feeling it today.

Friday Fun day

We decided to take the kids out for a FUN Friday to Fallsview Waterpark and we had a blast.  I didn't need to do any kind of workout because combined with the swimming, the climbing and the stair climbing up the many many many flights of stairs to the top of the water slides all my muscle groups had attention.  When we got home I did a stretch and then hit the hay...and dreamed about floating on the waves...
