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.

Pike Press Challenge

I have to agree with another Bodyrocker who posted a comment on the bodyrock web site stating that she thought she read the instructions wrong...and I fully agree, after 10 reps I was thinking that 10 minutes of this is really going to be GREAT FUN :(...Steve agreed...it also helps if you start the timer..whoops.  I noticed that around 20 reps...I was able to complete 80 reps in 10 minutes..Steve's results were 80 reps plus 45 knee push-ups...the arms were a shaking after this...but at least I can walk up the stairs now.  Always look on the bright side.  After tomorrows workout I'll still be posting my active rest actives...and then in the second week of "eye"recovery I'll start picking up some of the less stressful exercises from the bodyrock site...keep up the great dedication everyone. This down time will give me a chance to concentrate on my tribal fusion belly dancing.  Here's a taste of that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnYYK07lGFc&feature=related. Rachael Brice is amazing.  She moves like a snake.

    Yeah, this was not very shoulder friendly for the Eidts.

    I did 70 full(ish) form before my shoulders gave out and could lift no more, followed by 32 from my knees. Those were exponentially easier (to my delight)!

    Jody did 103 total...we didn't do them together, and I'm not sure of his breakdown of full form vs. from the knees, but I know that there were plenty of both and his shoulders were on fire for quite awhile.

    I still have a nasty case of the coughs, but am hoping that it settles before the heavy duty, sweaty workouts resume :(

    We'll be thinking of you tomorrow, Kim! Enjoy your new-found eyesight :)
