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.

Push Back- Exercise Challenge

Today I am gingerly moving around the house trying not to make any sudden movements that would jar any muscles of my backside...did you know even standing still requires those muscles :(  It took a bit for my body to ease into this challenge, being a little tender from the last few.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong?..or right...Steve sat out of this one claiming he needed all his lower extremity pain free for his squash game on Wednesday...It took me 16 minutes for this challenge, and then I did some core work on the stability ball...trying to stretch things out a bit.  Boy a hot tub would sure be nice right about now.  It is true what they though,  if your muscles are sore a workout helps relieve the pain by increasing the blood flow and speeding up recovery...something to keep in mind while your pushing through.
