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.

Side Burpees - Exercise Challenge

The fact that I still can't bend my legs to put my pants on or get in the car without grimacing pretty much sums up the enthusiasm for the burpees.  My body surprised me and after the first one when I didn't land on my face in a heap on the floor.  Had my workout partner with me this time, which helped push me :) Completed the 60 full form in 9 mins 10 seconds.  Steve's results 9 mins 26 seconds.

Just wanted to say that everyone is doing AWESOME and your still all smiling and keeping your sense of humour :) The first 3 months are always to hardest to push through.  Keep it up.  Remember this is a life time thing...so we have time to work our way there.

    So when we did these, i showed Kim how i did my normal burpees, and jumped up, then went down into the lowered pushup position and stopped... because i was/am still sore from Sunday...

    that being said all of my side burpees were pushed up from my knees...

    still sore, and not ripped either :P but the team group work out is fun...

    Now I'm feelin' the hip flexors! Holy mother... By the end, I had to jump back twice to get my legs straight because I just couldn't jump no more!
