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.

Exercise Challenge - 300 Killer Squats

Walking is a little slow today and sitting isn't really that comfortable.  At first I thought that 300 squats wouldn't be that bad...ya I know...I'm shaking my head too, but you know, spread throughout the evening in sets of 20...who would of thought that you can sweat so much by simply standing in one spot...not moving your feet at all and just lowering your butt to the ground and back-up...and on, and on, and on...by 200 my legs were shaking.  My buddy Cargo came along for the ride at 30lbs.  I did get to 300, and then tried to peel my pants off my thighs..a few more challenges like that and for sure I will be able to squeeze 1 one legged pistol out, i think...remember to keep looking forward on your down and up for the squat. I found this helped keep my form.
