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.

No Fear Exercise Challenge

Today was one of those days where you feel like you got alot accomplished.  I headed to the barn and Lilly and I had a nice morning ride. For a half and hour I was squeezing my thighs together to hold on for dear life while we trotted and cantered around the arena.  Actually I wasn't that bad...it's like riding a bike, except this bike has it's own mind...as per the thigh death grip which I will be feeling tomorrow morning...A good stretch will be in the cards for tonight.  Took the pooch out for a nice afternoon walk and then this evening I had my 3..yes 3...counters for my push-up challenge.  Well I would be lying if I didn't say I was a little disappointed with my reps.  I managed 12 with solid form ( this coming from my personal critique..Steve) and another 5 that slowly deteriorated into the dreaded chicken peck...so I have my work cut out for me to get to 50 full form push-ups. Every other day I will be doing 12 push-ups full form...no pecking, then keep adding 2 more each week.  So if we do the math the date for the big 50 will be June 21 the first day of summer.  No ninja jumps for me tonight, but I'll be back at the scheduled workout tomorrow..can't wait to see how everyone did for this one.

    I'm not ready for a push up challenge just yet...aaargh!

    No Fear Challenge was interesting...especially since I started out barefooted and had rug burn on the tops of my feet after 4 sets! Strapped the sneakers on and completed 54 sets in 10 minutes. The first 10-ish were full form, and I regressed to clapping pushups from the knees after that with a couple full form one's sprinkled in here and there. Oy!

    Jody is out with his buddies tonight, so I doubt he's going to be getting any exercise tonight when he stumbles thru the door!
