Week 17 day 1 bodyrock

New plan- it just isn't easy for me to do 5 workouts a week. I keep having that as a goal and then feeling disappointed. So 4 workouts a week is more manageable. if I get an extra one great if not great.

Also too tough to be on schedule with bodyrock and have to wait for new exercise to post, so I am doing other work outs from archives to give some padding between when the new workouts are posted and when I do them.

Did the Sexy sweat on me work out
1) 1 arm sandbag swing (used 14lb kb) 16, 15, 16

Week 16 day 1 bodyrock

Yes it has been 2 weeks since I exercised last. Trey got the flu and was sick for 10 days and 7 days in I got sick with the flu and I was sick for 10 days.


Nightmare.


Anyway I have been having some pain in my lower back that feels like an achy pulled muscle or like my spine is out. It has made it very tempting to not work out.


I decided today that I needed to get back in the saddle and get to the gym.


Despite 2 days where I couldn't stomach veggies, I stuck to my food plan. Strangest thing is that i lost 2 pounds over the last couple weeks and feel mushy. I have a feeling doing bodyrock keeps my muscles a bit swollen and probably holding some water-which makes me feel tighter? Who knows. I do know that I feel so much better when working out.


I still really didn't want to work out today...but I did.


So i did the workout! And actually my back feels better now than before I did it. 


Strange. Def felt less strong but somewhat enjoyed it. Wasn't clear if I was doing the


 tuck explosive star properly.



Feb 8th tighten it up

Sandbag shoulder lift - used 7 pound medicine ball - 18 21 20


One leg push up jump over 10-12-10

High knees +mountain climbers 3-3-3


Tuck knees and explosive star jump 20-21-19



An bonus: star abs 18


Left oblique plank 19

Right oblique plank 20

Week 13 day 3 - Bodyrock

It has been 4 days in the house with sick child. The past two he can't bear any weight on his legs...I have reached stir crazy at this point and started feeling very down this afternoon.

Took a lot but I got my sneaks on and did the boyfriend workout http://www.bodyrock.tv/2012/04/05/boyfriend-workout/

Set your interval timer to 3 rounds of 50 seconds work with a 10 second rest. This workout is 18 minutes in total. The third round will be your bonus for this workout.

1) One leg push ups jump overs –

2) Leap frog shoulder press – used 10 pound dumbell and it felt super heavy today

3) Quick feet push up- just did 10 high knees in between

4) Star core –man this was brutal for me

5) Core Twist-used 10 pound dumbbell

6) Sandbag Press and Twist- 10 pound dumbbell

Strangest thing- the last two weeks when I have done less bodyrock and no running my weight went down 1.5 pounds. My goal is to maintain my weight not lose- just gain muscle and get stronger. My diet is basically the same 7 days a week so I am confused. Maybe it is I am not holding the same water I do when my muscles are always in repair from doing bodyrock 5 days a week. I don't feel as toned but that is probably mental.

Week 13 day 2 - Bodyrock

Dealing with a sick child since Sunday morning I am a bit wiped out. I did manage to squeeze in a 12 minute workout yesterday. Not so lucky today since Trey woke up unable to walk his legs were in too much pain. This meant that I spent the day on teh couch with him except for a trip to the Dr.


Complete 2 Sets of the following exercises for 50 Seconds on with a 10 Second Rest In-between

1) Walking Push-Up & Tuck Jump

2) 3 Way Plank Jump & Clean & Press – used my hammock bag with a 10 pound plate in it

3) Low Jack & V split abs – I don't have the Equalizer so I just stuck to all low jacks

4) Superman Push-Up – Using little kids table for feet.

5) Stand Up & Jump Abs – used aforementioned hammock bag with weight

6) Sumo Kness & Half Burpee – hammock bag again

Week 13 day 1 - Bodyrock

Oh I am hanging on by a thread here :)

My lower back has been aching and then al of a sudden I am making excuses in my head. I think I need to go back to January or February where there were more 12 minute challenges and hold off on the running for right now. I started lumping them together and working out started to feel daunting.

Anyway, Trey has been sick with high fever and I feel like I am fighting getting it, but couldn't stand idea of not working out today. I did http://www.bodyrock.tv/2012/04/04/sexy-by-summer-workout-brb-leg-butt-sculpt-cool-down/

I counted both knees up as 1 so I am not sure if maybe that means I did 100 high knees for each. I also did a push up for each burpee- except one- I don't think you are supposed to. Oh well. Still felt like a good workout. I hustled and it took me 13:40.

Week 12 day 1 - Bodyrock

I didn't get day 5 of Bodyrock in last week. I went to NYC Saturday to spend a short 24 hrs with a new friend. I intended on doing day 5 on Sunday but we stayed up too late on Saturday and by the time I got home Sunday evening I was wiped and then Sunday night my siamese howled all night. Yesterday we had DR and Dentist appointments all day and the lack of sleep really crept up on me and I took the day off. I got pretty discouraged. I am pretty sure this is the first time in 11 weeks that I have taken 4 days off in a row. I had a few moments where my fatalistic side thought to give up. WHAT? Writing that seems so ridiculous!

So my beautiful friend Jessica brought me back to reality and so I got on my gear and did the http://www.bodyrock.tv/2012/02/17/ass-fire-beginners-intermediate-advanced-workout-day-5-week-two-of-the-february-30-day-challenge/

1) Hug Knee Star Jump, 3 Point Jump & Push-Up

2) Over Chair Elevated Circle Abs – I sat on floor and lifted legs up and over a basket of blocks

3) Reverse Elevated Push Ups – did pull ups with legs on stool

4) Step Ups – (Left & Right Leg Alternate) –

Tomorrow is another travel day. Will have to dry to get it in either early in morning or at night.

Week 11 day 4 Bodyrock

Yesterday was a rest day.
Today I did the body rock Hot Pants Workout http://www.bodyrock.tv/2012/03/27/hot-pants-sweat-workout/

I used Treys basket of blocks in place of the sand bag. LOL.

Week 11 day 3 - 2mi Run + Bodyrock

Trey has a standing playdate on Wednesdays for an hour before we have to head to tennis. Today we had to scoot out of here quickly to make it to tennis on time. As we got in the car it dawned on me that I didn't have a hair tie and I was wearing a long sleeve shirt and no sports bra.

As though I wasn't unmotivated enough- nothing like imagining sweating in long sleeve with hair plastered to my sweaty neck and face to get me pumped up. NOT

I started with a 2 mile run. Ugh sooooo not fun with my hair down and long sleeves.

I usually put my iphone in my sports bra (note to self-look into an arm band). I NEED hyped up music to get my butt moving.* Today I was a hot sweaty mess and struggled with the strategical nightmare of trying to keep my slippery when wet iphone from flying all over the place as I did body rock. It is too bad too, because I think I would have loved this workout if properly attired. Despite the sweat and awkward try to catch my iphone as it went flying in every which direction, I enjoyed the workout today, and at one point I will admit I felt a bit Shera - ish all sweaty with long pants and shirt, grunting along. Did Shera wear long pants...hmmm i think she wore a leather bikini. Now that would be really challenging for iphone placement.

I was waaaay too distracted with the iphone situation to count reps. The sweat told me I did a bang up job :)

*I am not completely satisfied with the songs on the Missy Eliot Lose control station-they aren't all fast enough. Please leave a comment if you have a good suggestion for a song to put in to Pandora to get a fast paced music station. No house music please.

Week 11 day 2 - Bodyrock

I must say I just can't imagine being able to do a regular exercise routine that took more than 12-45 minutes at most. So many times I feel I just can't make the time and the only reason I do/can is because the workouts are so short.

Today I did the not afraid workout

I liked it and feel different muscles are sore.

Each exercise had a couple parts so I didn't get through many repetitions.

Set your interval timer to 12 rounds of 50 seconds work with a 10 second rest – & Bust out as many repetitions of the following exercises as you can

1) Elevated Plank & Spider Knee Twist – Alternative Legs – used my stairs - 21, 20, 19

2) 2 x Commando Push-Ups, Commando Roll & 10 Mountain Climbers - 3, 3 1/2, 3 1/2

3) 1/2 Burpee & One Arm Upright Row – Alternate Arms – Using 10 pound weight 12, 12, 12

4) 10 x Low Prisoner Squat Jumps & 2 Wide Leg Star Push-Ups 3, 4, 3 1/2

Abs bonus - did but didn't count

Butt cool down- also did but didn't count.

Week 11 day 1 - 3 mi Run and Bodyrock

Thank goodness it feels like I got back on track tonight. I am pretty sure running keeps me feeling good. I felt pretty low and lethargic the past two days. i haven't run since the beginning of last week. As much as I still don't like running I am seeing the psychological benefits.

I ran 2 miles at 6.5 and then slowed to 5.5 and ran the 3 miles in 30 minutes. Not great timing but I did it. I find it much easier to run outside and really much easier to run with a partner.

it was pretty good. A bit complicated since there was no video and then my bodyrock timer frizzed out after some sweat got inside. Not happy about that. Hoping it will be back working tomorrow. Thank goodness for my friend Jess. I called and asked her how to do exercises, got her numbers and did them since I didn't have interval timer. I used my phone to time it and it took me 15 minutes to do.

Week 10 day 4 - Bodyrock

This past week was ROUGH! Thursday is normally crazy but this week I was in school from 11:45 until school ended and then the normal after school classes and meetings. I didn't get a workout in.

Friday Trey had the day off from school and we took a hike with friends. That was at least 4 miles but pretty mellow slow paced. I tried to do bodyrock in the evening but when I went to jump up on the second step my left foot didn't make it to the second step and my shinslammed intpo the edge of it. Ouch! It hurt so bad I couldn't complete.workout. It was an active REST day.

Saturday was packed schedule wise but I managed to sneak in Bodyrock before our friends arrived for dinner.

I didn't feel like it was a very intense workout and couldn't figure out if it was that I wasn't pushing hard or if the routine was lighter.


Thursday, March 22, 2012

Week 10 day 3 Bodyrock

Today was tight schedule wise. I am struggling with knowing when to do the workout since I like to exercise before a meal and don't like getting dressed and then getting sweaty. Sometimes doing the workout before lunch works but I feel a bit like a slouch not getting dressed until after lunch. Today I had a lunch date and then had to try to gt work done before Trey came home so I did the workout before lunch and then quickly showered.
I had a hard time following exactly what I was supposed to do the first round through and didn't really feel like it was intense enough. I wanted to write I only did the 12 minutes and neither the an or weight extra. But hey I did the 12 minutes!

Week 10 day 2 - Body Rock and 2mi Run

Today was hot outside! I did my exercise right before dinner.

I find running before body rock more motivating. I was a bit short on time so although I wanted to run 3 miles I only did 2 and I took the hill route. Today it took me 18 minutes. When I got home I did this Bodyrock. http://www.bodyrock.tv/2012/03/14/rock-your-body-workout-bonus-butt-back-sculpt-cool-down/

1) Press-up + Burpee + Tuck Jump x2 & 10 x Straight Punches – Using the pink Sandbag

2) Press-up + Burpee + Tuck Jump x2 & 10 x Hook Punches – Using the pinkSandbag

3) Press-up + Burpee + Tuck Jump x2 & 2 x Straight Punches + 2 x Hook Punches – Using the pink Sandbag

4) 2 x Mid Abs + 2 x Bag Touch Abs – Using the pink Sandbag


I made it about 1 minute through the butt extra and didn't do the weighted workout.

I am definitely sweating each workout now. I also stuck to regular pushups-feels good. I also noticed I can jump much higher on tuck jumps.

Breakfast:
oatmeal
cheese
yogurt
orange

Lunch:
pork chop
cabbage
potato
1tb butter

Dinner:

Week 10 day 1 - Yoga and Bodyrock

I don't know how but I got messed up and somehow did day 2 of the week today and day 1 of the week yesterday. Ack who cares.

This morning I went to hot yoga at The Yoga Spa in Ballston Lake. It was a small class but a good one. Man oh freakin man am I tight! My ego didn't like it very much and I had some defeatist thoughts flit through my mind-like that I will never be flexible. That the yoga poses I have been pinning on pinterest are completely unachievable. Then I had a mature thought...hey this is the first yoga I have done in months and it will take T-I-M-E. What a concept.

Had the same thoughts again while doing body rock tonight at the gym. Man sometimes I can't believe how hard push ups can be!

I can't find my body rock timer so I improvised. Instead of doing the 30/10 interval I did the next best thing I could think of. I did the same reps my friend Jessica posted from the workout- as fast as I could and then took 10 second rests between them.
It was a hard but good workout.

Breakfast:
oatmeal
plain yogurt
cottage cheese
apple

Lunch:
pork cabbage
potato
butter
yogurt
pear

Dinner
shrimp
rice
eggplant ( man usually it is mild but the recent batch is tart and bitter - had to throw rest away)
salad

Week 9 day 7 - Body rock & 2 mi Run

It was a pretty busy weekend. I had a great photo session this morning and when I got home I felt pretty tired, so instead of exercising I chose to lay down and rest and read for about 40 minutes before lunch.

I like to exercise either before lunch or before dinner so after a phone date with a friend at 5, I got on my exercise clothes and headed out for a run. I wanted to do a longer run but I had to get back before Terry headed out to play tennis, so I kept the run to 2 miles (I did take the monster hill though). I was so excited when I got home and saw that I ran it in 17:22 (that's 8 min 41 sec mile!). This felt like great time for me since just 3 weeks ago it took me 20 min +seconds to run 2 flat miles. I don't know how long I would have been able to keep up that pace but it didn't feel horrendous for the 2 miles.

I came home and wanted to do body rock. It feels like I wimped out a bit this one felt brutal and I didn't have a lot of time.

Set your interval timer to a stop watch 25 reps of the following exercises

1) 25 – Burpee & Push-Up (did all 25- full pushups)

2) 25 – One Leg Step-Ups – Right Leg – (I used 10 pound dumbell and a kitchen chair- after 18 I had to put weight down

3) 25 – One Leg Step-Ups – Left Leg – (I used 10 pound dumbell and a kitchen chair- after 18 I had to put weight down

4) 25 – Elevated Push Ups & 2 Under Knees - Did regular pushups - for 16 and then did modified ones.

5) 5 – High Knees + Drop ( 25 Times ) - This had a push up and was just too long for me- I did 12 only

6) 50 – Mountain Climbers ( 25 Each Leg )

7) 25 Tricep Dips –used stairs

8) 25 Ball Squats –used 10 pound plate in hammock bag across shoulders but didn't use ball

9) 25 Stand to Plank - this felt strange wasn't sure I was doing it right.

10) 50 Jump Mat Toe to Elbow (25 Each Side) - This was insane I only did 11 each side

11) 50 – V Star Switch Abs (25 Each Side) - Also felt too hard - felt totally wimpy- did only 12 a side but did full sit up for 8 of each.

My time 16:35

Week 9 day 5 - Bodyrock

I am feeling crabby and crampy. Lucky for me today was a repeat of a workout from January that I really loved for some strange reason so I was motivated to do it today.


It was a timed routine and I hauled ass because it was right before lunch and I was starving.

I have been doing bodyrock right before lunch- except for the days I meet Terry at the gym. Actually feel blech being on day 3 of no running. I got two runs in early in the week. Will try to get one in tomorrow. I think it keeps my head clear.

I completed today's routine in 12:34

Week 9 day 4 - rest

I was really going to try to do body rock 5 days through but between the busy ness of Thursday and my soreness I decided to go with the flow and take today off. I will bodyrock tomorrow and probably Sunday.

I know I haven't been writing here on my off days but I thought I would mention I eat the same way 7days a week. It is the only way I can do it. Flour sugar and quantities set up uncontrollable cravings for me so I stick with what works...keeping my food simple so I dont have to feel so consumed with shoulds and shouldn'ts. So many healthy friends of mine can balance treats here and there and I think that is the best if it works for you.

Breakfast
plain yogurt
cottage cheese

Week 9 day 3 Bodyrock

So I had a busy day today and had to write down the exercises really quickly. I figured I would watch the exercises through quickly on my phone when I got to the gym, but when I got there my phone had run out of batteries. Oh man-pretty funny-how I interpreted the descriptions.
http://www.bodyrock.tv/2012/03/08/thong-shape-up-workout-bonus-abs-core-mixed-sculpt-cool-down/

I was completely off with the first exercise and did straight pushups...my shoulders are wicked sore the past two days so it was tough!

I did the 12 rounds straight through switching from straight pushups to push up side plank- my attempt at leg straight up to touch toe- another pushup switch sides. Totally wrong interpretation! Holy goodness. LOL

for the second round of two exercises I also did 12 intervals of 20/10
the first one was a bit simpler to figure out. I used a 10 pound medicine ball instead of the sand bag. (got 5-6 each time)

The switch lunges with kick- I didn't put hands to floor- I did standing switch lunge and then kicked. (5-6 each time)

Abs I couldn't figure out if we were supposed to do all three for three rounds for a total of 9 minutes or just each one one time through for a total of 3 minutes. I did 3 minutes total. For the reverse curls I didn't do the stand up-I don't quite have the strength to do it smoothly.

I was too sore and tired to do the weighted extra at the end. It is tough psychologically to not do all of it but it really isn't manageable for my body right now. I have to be mindful when I am sore.

You will notice I eat a lot of the same things for a few days in a row-this is because it is easier for me to cook in quantities so I can grab what I need quickly and just cook for myself a few times a week. My husband doesn't eat any vegetables or fruit and doesn't care for plain potato or rice but maybe once a week. He prefers to eat more breads and pastas.I make my son a small plate of salad veggies each night but he doesn't really care for meat or fish so he eats a lot of beans. Each night I try to make my husband and son something and then just plate up my meal. It is easy and works for me.
