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.

Marine Corps. Workout

Today I tried my hand at bouldering and boy I thought I was in ok shape but not for climbing.  It's amazing how you can train for one thing...say running and go for miles and miles...then you hop into a pool to swim some laps thinking that you'll breeze by and.... that would be a negative.  That is the same for bouldering...my fingers, hands and forearms are so stiff and sore...they were actually almost numb after a 1/2 hours of climbing the walls...I couldn't even get them to open a knotted string on a pair of pants.  It was a blast though and a great activity to do with the kids. My 4 and 7 year old are like monkeys and by the time we were driving home they were pooped...so instead of them driving you up the wall, make them climb up a few :)  As for this workout...I'll tackle it tomorrow...I'm still working the kinks out of my hands and arms. Proceeding with caution...the eyes handled the climbing, but we don't want to over do it...I hope everyone is feeling a little better...we need spring to come...I have noticed that it is still light out at 5:30, which is a great sign. Till tomorrow.
