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.

On the Floor - Abs Challenge

I'm still walking funny today, as one of you pointed out :) Due to the horseback riding.  It's funny but it sort of assures me that I'm doing it right.  As for this workout...at first I thought it looked really easy and I would be whipping through the reps and posting some really impressive sets...not so much.
The mountain climbers were great, but those straight leg lifts with the arms over the head at me sweating. I managed to get 5 sets of 20 completed in 10 minutes plus  I worked on my push-ups and did 3 sets of 6 full slow push-ups and in between I did some chin-ups for fun.

    You're right. 20 reps of those straight leg lifts at a time aren't as easy as they look! I am used to doing them with my hands placed under my butt for leverage and to keep myself from sliding all over the floor, and I could do those for days, but arms over the head really makes it tough!
    I did 5 complete sets of 20 plus 1 set of mountain climbers and 7 leg lifts.

    Very tiring :P

    6 complete sets of mountain climbers
    4 complete sets of leg raises
    43 crunches to make up for my last botched set of leg raises :D

    and 50 sumo squats (love them!)
