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.

1000 Jumping Jacks Challenge

Ok so my question here is what is consider a rep for this exercise...it sounds like "half" of a jumping jack is a rep...if that's the cause I just did 2000 reps, because I counted the "whole"jumping jack as 1 rep...which darn near killed me...17 mins it took...and just to start off the workout I did the summer abs workout again and beat my personal time with 11:41...pat on the back.  I'll be dawning on a bathing suit for the first time this year and taking the kiddies to the indoor water park...will be a blast.

yeah! Workout

Yesterday I took the day off...let the body have a little breather.  Today I did this workout which again proved to be a thinker...and a bit destructive.  I took out the karaoke machine and the plant on the piano...no major causalities :) with the monkey kicks,  finished the first part in 4:11.  The mountain climber were brutal and since I already leveled my room on the first part I didn't do the cart wheel but a low lunge side to side.  I average 23-28 mountain climbers per rep.  The 3rd part really burned, completed in 7:01.

Exercise Challenge - 60 Get up

Today was one of those busy busy days...lots of running around, but I managed to get this in.  Completed the 60 with the company of Cargo in 6:17.  Since I was sweating and still had energy to burn I decided to go for a run...which ended up in the rain, but it was refreshing...toured the blocks for 20 mins and then took the pooch out for a walk to cool down.  The first 5 minutes of a run for me are always the worse...it's like my body is protesting and then if I push and don't stop it will give up and then it's more enjoyable.  I think I'll rotate from a run to skipping when the challenges come up.

Summer Abs Workout

I seem to be making this a habit...always entering 1 day behind..I'll work on that.  At first glance all I saw for this workout was the reps and then I scrolled down and read that we had to do it 5 times.  Well....I would still be doing them if I didn't read the full directions, thank goodness.  50 reps x 5 as I originally thought would kill me I think...really.  So after reading the instructions and noting the times I got to it.  I completed this workout in 12:32.  The 4 mins of high knees and Pendulum which was tough averaged on 48/28.

Butt and Fat Loss Workout

I don't think I've done this workout before so I have no other results to compare this too.  I was able to get this done before the rain came.  It's so nice to workout in the great outdoors!!!  This workout took me 17:04...those darn one leg squats...still not all the way down, but getting closer...

Walk it out

Gardening, hunting for Easter eggs and strolling in this "finally" spring weather was my active rest day today...deep breaths and enjoying the sunshine.
