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.

Well I got my workout in this morning after dropping the kiddies off at school and it felt good. Even better was to see my improvements.  It's nice to see that all that extra bulk in my legs and shoulders is producing more strength and not just size.  Here are my numbers,

prisoner jump squat: old 23 new 33
Mountain Climbers: old 90 new 100
Clapping push-ups: old 13 new 11
Jump Lunge: old 21 new 32
Bicycle: old 70 new 86
Lunge left: old 10, new 13
Lunge right:old 9, new 11
side crunch left: old 21, new 24
side crunch right:old 25, new 23
burpees; old 10 new 11
