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 - Pull-Ups
Yep, definitely not one of my favourite exercises, but like it was said all the more reason not to avoid it. I did the 3 sets of 5, and it's amazing how I feel this as much in my core as in my arms and shoulders. I wanted to let everyone know that I have been sending replies to the comments that you've been making but I'm not sure where the replies are being sent. So I'm going to start to put a comment on the blog instead. I really haven't been snobbish or anything :) Enjoy this one, and remember to breath.

Woohoo... finally I won a match on the online squash ladder... (bit tougher competition that on the houseleage) 3 games to 2... W L L W W ... had to go to the 5th game...finally things are clicking again...
ReplyDeleteMemphis was alright... walked on Beale St... not 10ft off of it though...had dinner at Itta Bena's and listened to some blues at BBKings Place... Had 2 pints of Lazy Magnolia Beer, and it was gooood... The 2 days of sitting in airplanes and meetings gave just about enough time for my hamstrings to recover from the burpee ladder workout...
What? No burpees on the road, Steve?!? Kim told me that you were going to get your team pumped up for some BodyRock'in workouts in the hotel! Congrats on the squash win, though! I still don't understand how to play that sport without going full-contact...
ReplyDeleteWe both skipped yesterday's workout. I couldn't lift my arms or take a deep breath without wincing from the burpee bull*&^#. So, we did 15 pull-ups today. Totally Assisted. It's so true that this is the one exercise that can make a person feel like a flounder! Oh well, it hurt, so that's something.
To get a sweat on, we also did yesterday's sit-up stand-up workout. Hello thigh-burn!

I did a double up today... this afternoon did the step up workout, then tonight I did my pull-ups... 15 in total and completely assisted... my arms are still in pain from the burpees yesterday; and if you're really-really interested, it hurts for me to sit on my buttocks from todays step-up challenge :( I dread the thought of how my backside is going to feel in the morning *shudder*
ReplyDeleteIt's only going to get better...not..the pistols are waiting for you...be gentle sitting on the throne tomorrow morning...it will feel like someone's lowered it...in this case being vertically challenged will be an advantage :)
