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.

Beat Me In Burpees Challenge

I did this workout today (Wednesday)...Tuesday was a day of rest and swimming with a walk to the park...So 10 minutes of Burpees...who would have thought you could add another twist to this exercise...but here it is the "Dedicated Burpee", fun, fun.  I completed 55 sets in the 10 minutes.

600 Rep Fat Burner Workout

Monday was a day of brutal sweating, and wow this workout was tough.  The first set of reps took me 25:19. I was dripping after this and still had to do another round....so by the time I got to the 3D push-ups I was done, so instead of finishing it there I just left this out and went on to the next exercise.  The second set of reps minus the push-ups took me 25:23.  I literally was a sweating red mess.  This one I can't wait to try again and go for the full 600.  I liked this workout alot more than the 400 because it had more variety in type of exercises...only one set of burpees..ya

Second attempt at the 400 Rep Workout

Sunday I took another crack at the 400 rep workout and I could only get through 2 sets. The first set took me 14:30 and the second set took me to a total of 31:55 minutes.  Went swimming after and did some laps to cool down and stretch out the shoulders and arms...one day I'll do it again, but not today.
