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.

Workout Mash-up!

Ok, I've changed my mind to the "avoid" exercise from pull-ups to one legged squats...At the moment they are impossible, -at the moment-, I think I might become a bit obsessed to master these.  I could only go half way down. I tried the full one, got all they way down, and no getting back up.  So another challenge.  When your done you'll feel this in your gluteus maximus, medius and minimus for sure :) My results:
Snowboarder : 22, 20, 22
Pistol w/kick left: 5, 5, 5
Pistol w/kick right: 4, 4, 4
Push-up w/ lunge combo: 18 full form in 8 minutes
Shelf Butt Lift: 17, 16, 13
Pistol left; 3, 3, 2
Pistol right: 2.5, 3, 3

    Ok...so that was tough, but the hardest part was finding balance! Well, no, the toughest part was trying to do even a half-squat, since my butt is nowhere near getting close to the ground...But those last two exercises were such a challenge to stay standing! And I think I spent a lot of time during the 8 minute push-up lunge combo just trying to remember what to do next. This was definitely a challenge on the brain :p

    It's 9:00 and Jody is still working, so no exercise for him. Just me...

    Snowboarder: 17, 16, 17
    One leg squat and side kick:
    L: 8,8,8
    R: 8,7,8
    Push-up lunge combo: 20 reps, 8 minutes
    Shelf butt: 17, 19, 20
    Half pistol (1/8th pistol for me) and one leg pike:
    L: 4, 3, 3
    R: 4, 3, 3

    Traveling tomorrow for weekend ski trip. I'll try to get my 300 squats in sometime. But will definitely be doing thousands of squats on Saturday and Sunday as we shred the slopes!

    Ok... the single leg squats are seriously NOT fun to do!!!!

    Me:
    Snowboarder 17/19/19
    One leg squat/side kick
    Left 7.5/7/7
    Right 9/9/10
    Push-up & Lunge 14 concentrating on doing mens push-ups... it wasn't pretty :(
    Shelf Butt 13/16/17
    1/2 Pistol & Pike
    Left 2.5/3.5/2 (clearly these sucked!)
    Right 3.5/3.5/3.5

    Craig:
    Snowboarder 16/17/18
    One leg squat/side kick
    Left 7/7/6
    Right 7/7/5
    Push-up & Lunge 21 concentrating on doing mens push-ups... it wasn't pretty :(
    Shelf Butt 15/18/18
    1/2 Pistol & Pike
    Left 3.5/4/4
    Right 4/4/4

    This workout definitely takes balance and co-ordination... which, apparently, we do not have either, ha-ha!
