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 - Hanging Knee Raises

This one could have been called "how long can you hold on", cause my hands were on fire...felt this in my forearms and hands and shoulders, and when that numbed up my abs started their protest. Because all the doors in our house have old style mouldings we had to get crafty on how to hang my pull up bar.  My hubby rigged it up and reassured me that the 2 screws acting as the "door frame" will be fine...so far he's right. My time was 2:45 mins. As for the skipping I figured that vaccuming the whole house and washing the floors and running up and down the stairs cleaning up my "sorting" piles will act as the cardio today.

    Considering that I can't raise my arms without assistance from yesterday's workout, I think it's an accomplishment that I did this at all.
    3:15 minutes

    Jody is sick today. (He couldn't even drink a beer during the football game...pretty solid proof of his un-wellbeing...) No knee raises for him today :(

    We're pretty psyched to see the men join in too, though :)

    Craig did his at the gym using proper equipment and form... 3:00 minutes even

    Me... using my make-shift dip station... 1:50 .... clearly it's easier using the dip station :) I also completed 300 free-style skips... still trying to work my way up to 600 free-style skips :)
