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 - Sandbag Sit-ups and Hell Week

I need to name my ricebag...become one with the "ricebag" :) If you have any good suggestions let me know...Maybe "cargo"...one of those unisex names...anyways...100 sit-ups with my 35 lb Cargo...near the end I really had to push to get all the way up...feelin it already in my abs, forearms, shoulders and back...and they were finally feeling a little better from all those pull-ups....Remember to breath and Core Tight.

    Oooh "Cargo" then you can paint an "S" on it, the you can say, "Go S Cargo Go!"... (parallelism to why'd the snail paint an S on his car? So people would say "Hey look at that S-Car-Go..." (Badum psshhhh)

    Anyways, I didnt do it... I played squash this evening and played 5 close games, where I didn't win any... oh well, its about how you play, not always the outcome right? Close call to which workouts produce more sweat...

    Or the S could be for 'Steve'...Kims throwing Steve's bag around again.....

    LOL...funny, Steve...

    I doubt our bag o' books comes close to ten pounds, let alone 35 (!) but we each did 100...with rests after each set of 25.

    Why aren't we ripped yet?
