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.

Ab-tastic Exercise Challenge

This time of year always seems out of balance.  The weather is crummy.  You might catch a few rays of sun every two weeks...and the cold just seems to drag the energy out of everyone.  Just think though, that spring really is just around the corner...we're already in February and everyone is doing a great job creating an active lifestyle, so when spring arrives we'll be all set to tackle the gardening, swimming, hiking, biking...the fun is endless.  The doom and gloom..stuffy noses and constantly cold feet will melt with the snow. I'm counting the days down until I can start posting my results for these workouts.  Today I just cleaned the studio in the basement, which,trust me was an obstacle of both stuff and nerves...lots of mind over matter....Let me know how you all did with this one.

    Great workout! Sweating bucket loads!!!!

    100 knee raises... did great on each round until I got to 18 then really pushed thru the last 2 to end each set...

    skips:
    rnd 1: 38/49/40/42/49/43/41/49
    rnd 2: 44/46/47/48/48/39/44/42
    rnd 3: 28/28/44/40/46/33/43/41
    rnd 4: 42/36/46/39/25/26/36/46
    rnd 5: 44/42/42/33/36/41/45/48

    Very inconsistent... my rope is not the best and too long for me, so skipping is a struggle...
    Very proud that I pushed myself so hard even when my rope was tangling every 3 skips... I'm learning not to rely on my workout buddy to be my sole motivation, especially when he works nights and it would be so easy for me to wait til he gets home to train....
