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.

Sumo Squat Step up Exercise Challenge

I was going to do this last night, but then I couldn't turn down a coffee date with a girlfriend...you have to take those when you can.  I had a great time as always with her and as always was given a great perspective. So this morning I did this challenge and tonight I will do the next workout. I did 20 reps on a leg and then switch to the other side to complete a total of 100 reps on each leg.  My time was 19 minutes 18 seconds...that include 2 interruptions from my little one :)

    Another good one... call me crazy, but I love the sumo squats :)

    15:41 was my time... getting much better at the chair step-ups; and really, my short legs make squats a bit easier :P

    15 minute run on the treadmill too :)

    Ok, we're back! And feeling like we have cinder blocks tied to our legs...It's amazing what 5 weeks off (!!!) will do to a body :( Will most definitely be sore tomorrow, but I am so excited to get back into these workouts, and to get my butt back in shape (literally).
