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.

Another Day of Bouldering

It's amazing the power of - Mind over Matter -...You see where you want to go, and then it starts..."How will it get there, can I get there... all those...what if questions"...Today I tried a more visual approach, which seemed to help with "letting go" of both the rock and the "questioning"....Here I go...and voila'...I had the hold...

450 rep workout

Yesterday I tried to do some of this workout...my youngest allowed me to do 1 of the 4 sets of the insane burpees.  The set that I did complete took me 18 minutes,which is kind of scary considering I was still had another 3 to do...???  Sunday I'll see about doing the whole thing...I'm already sweating just thinking about it.

Day Off

Today I didn't manage a workout, because I was recovering from all those squats...I'm still feeling them :(

Game On! 300 Squats Challenge

THIS WAS NASTY!!!...Squats are truly my weakness...I really thought I would never get done. 20:21....forever, and by the end I was a shaking sweating heap..that couldn't make it down the stairs.  I had to do the bum slide down..very sad indeed. I guess one day soon I'll have to repay this one a visit and see if I can shave off a minute.

Hot Attack Workout

I was all caught up, but now, well...only 2 days behind in the postings.  So here we go...I've really had to give my arse a kick while doing these workouts...just can't seem to shift it into a higher gear.  Those one legged squats are still in the far, far off future.  I tried the suggestion by another bodyrocker to use a door frame which worked until I had to get up.  Still not enough strength in one leg to go there.
Crab Toe Touch 36, 31
Dive Bombers 9, 7

Jump Lunge/Mountain Climber Combo: there was no entries here...just focused on breathing

One Leg Hot Attack Exercise 6, 5
Thigh Shrinker Exercise 14, 16

After the workout I went for a 20 minute run.

Sunday's Sun

Today we took the opportunity to enjoy the afternoon in the sun.  We played in the pool and floated about..then we took the bike out for a tour.  It's amazing how every activity requires it's own muscles...my knees felt the biking the most...and then when the kids went to bed I had an evening swim which was awesome...24 laps and some lunges, jumping jacks, high knees and jump squats in the water.  It's funny how it doesn't seem so hard in the water and your muscles seem to handle more...until you get out and then the gravity of what you just did hits...:) Tomorrow I'll start the bodyrock routines again.
