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.

MMA Workout (Major Muscle Apocalypse)

Wow.. is.. all I..can .say..between the heavy breathing and sweating.  The bonus for this workout was I had a partner in crime, which was fun.  Boy did he pick a day to start.  INTENSE, but we both finished. If he wants to expand on his experience he can on his own free will.  It's nice to see this spousal partner workout lifestyle happening.  To have another topic to discuss with each other than the usual kids, bills etc..is refreshing and fun...almost like dating again, but the torturous part coming from the workout...I like it. I got my sandbag in the mail for Christmas from Steve, so we picked up some rice and filled her up with 35lbs worth. Our Results:
Steve:
Left Side Leg Squat: 9,9,10,10, 10, 10, 10, 6, 8, 12
Right Side Leg Squat: 10,10,10,10,10,9,10,7,8,12
Burpees: 6,7,6,7,7,7,7,4,5,6
Pull-ups: 7,8,9,7,6,5,4,3,0,6 (Steve used the dip station for the reverse pull-ups)
 
Me:
Left Side Leg Squat:9,8,8,9,9,8,7,7,8,9
Right Side Leg Squat:10,9,10,8,9,9,9,8,9,8
Burpees:5,5,5,5,5,5,5,4,4,5
Pull-ups:6,6,6,5,5,5,,5,5,7 (first one in sets unassisted, others chairs assisted, using pull-up bar, which is still hanging :)

    Um yeah... I felt like i was going to talk to Ralph on the big white phone after that... Some comments on form and such... but anyways, WOW... the side lunge leg squat definitely gave me 'squash butt'

    Other item on how you count reps/cycles/sets...Kim had said 40 sets...in my mind i was thinking 'Holy F' 40 rounds of left, right, burpee, pull ups... mind you it was only 10 rounds of the 4 cycles...but when we got to cycle 7 or 8 and Kim said 22 left! I was slightly anxious...ie i think i will pass out long before that and fall into a sweaty heap on the floor...

    Bottom line...go for consistency and go for broke on the last cycle/set...

    Yes I am sore... :)

    Seriously, when can I start dropping f*bombs on here?!?!

    Jody and I have both been blessed with considerably large, yet strong butts. (Perhaps that was the mutual attraction all those years ago.) So when we see squats, we feel a slight bit of relief knowing that we have potential to finish well! But you add the damn pull-ups and burpees, and it just gets ridiculous.

    We had a stand-off for about an hour post-workout to see who had to walk the flight of stairs to get water refills...Yes,we are sore too...

    Steph:
    Left Side Leg Squat: 8,8,8,8,8,8,9,9,9,10
    Right Side Leg Squat: 8,8,8,8,8,8,9,10,9,9
    Burpees: 4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4
    Pull-Ups: 5,5,5,5,4,4,5,5,4,4 (all chair assisted)

    Jody:
    Left Side Leg Squat: 8,8,8,8,8,9,8,9,9,9
    Right Side Leg Squat: 9,9,8,8,9,8,8,8,9,9
    Burpees: 5,6,6,6,6,6,7,7,6,6
    Pull-Ups: 6,6,6,6,6,5,6,6,5 (chair assisted)

    This workout looks challenging... I will try and tackle over the weekend... I have been working out religiously each day with my staff at school (great work outs and support!). I will have to post my results when they are in. I am inspired!

    I seriously thought I was going to throw up!!!! I had to sub reverse push-ups for the pull-ups (still waiting on equipment) and had to use a 10lb dumbell in place of the sandbag... but as Zuzana says, "just keep moving"...

    Left leg 13/12/10/10/11/11/11/9/11/10
    Right leg 10/12/12/10/7/10/11/11/11/7
    Burpees 3/3/3/3/3/2.5/3/3/2.5/2.5 (I was really pushing myself to do mens push ups... clearly that's obvious)
    Reverse push-up (replacing pull-up) 10/8/8/10/8/8/8/7.5/8.5/8

    4:10 interval skipping
    15:00 Dancing around in my basement to Madonna club tunes.... I really hope my neighbours didn't see that :P

    No workout for Craig today... working nights :(
