What is Bodyrock? Well….
Bodyrock is an amazing Internet phenomenon that is being rocked across the world. The creators and trainers Zuzana and her husband Frederick post daily workouts that include instructional videos, modifications for experience levels and a great community of like minded individuals who are all striving to live out a healthy lifestyle.
Before kids, I was very involved in the world of fitness. I was an aquatic instructor, a step aerobic instructor, a swimmer, and a runner. Then fast forward a few years, plus 2 kids, a husband that works and travels a lot and you had me unmotivated, with a sore back, and no direction.
Taking control of my physical well being started in 2008, during the revelation of my dietary restrictions. I started by walking in the morning before everyone got up, then jogging (which I just couldn’t seem to do for very long, because I got bored), then P60 which was fun for the 3 months, but then what. Then I found the Bodyrocker web site and I was hooked. It’s like it was crafted for us mom’s who want something that we can fit into the day, with or without the kids, or the husband home. It focuses on power, cardio conditioning and strength training. One big BANG!!! And the best of all is that you feel great doing it…maybe not while your doing it…I remembering several times thinking…this sucks…but I love a challenge and what better one to take on than bettering myself both in body and mind. I plan on being around for a long time…and when I made the choice to take charge of my life and make it a priority it affected everyone…in a positive way…I’m happier, my kids are happier and my husband is happier. I hope that you find the support in your family and friends like I’ve experienced in mine. If not, then you’ll find it here and on the Bodyrock web site. Change and forming new habits takes time, so don’t get discouraged, embrace the journey.

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.
