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.

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:

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
1 tb dressing

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.

Breakfast
plain yogurt
orange
2 eggs
oatmeal

Lunch
salmon
broccoli
rice
plain yogurt

Dinner

Week 9 day 1 - Bodyrock and Run 3.5

Great workout day today.

On my way to the gym I saw my friend starting out of her house for a run, so I parked in the school parking lot and joined her. We ran about 3.5 miles and it was so much easier to run with someone. Poor Kristin I will probably be stalking her now. LOL.

After the run I headed straight to the gym to do the day 1 workout for the first week challenge of March http://www.bodyrock.tv/2012/03/05/super-hot-booty-workout-bonus-abs-back-chest-circuit/

I got super sweaty and loved it! I felt psyched for workout after running maybe endorphins?

Part One:

1) Plie Squat Jumps & Mountain Climbers

2) Complete 200 High Knee Skips - I love my new jumprope!

3) Jump Lunge & Mountain Climbers - when at the gym I hate all the beeping so I put my gymboss on vibrate but it is super tough to "feel" it go off when doing mountain climbers. PITA.

Part Two:

1) Forward/side lunge combination – Total dork - forgot to use weight and did squat and then side lunges. oops.

2) Sumo Squat & V ab lift – I used the assisted dip and pull up machine - I stood on the foot rests when I did squats and then used the dip handles for v ab lift-total akward to be doing a v wearing shorts-facing whole gym. Hello!

Bonus – Ab Workout:

Holy OUCH! Abs still my weakest area.

Bonus – Back & Chest Weighted Sculpt Cool Down:

1) Standard Push up - belted out 12 regular push ups felt strong and could have done more

2) Close Grip Pull ups – used assisted pull up machine with 55 pound assist. I am 123 pounds so that feels like a lot of assistance to me but I could barely get out 10

3) Military Push-ups - harder to do these-weaker- 10

4) Wide Grip Pull Ups – used the assisted machine with 55 again - holy cow I could only do 6

5) Diamond Push Ups - pretty tough got out 4 then had to go to modified for remaining 6.

6) Decline Push Ups - did 8

7) Bent over Flys - 10 pound weights did 12

8) Reverse Push Up – used bench and did 10

Week 8 day 5 or week 9 day 1 - 2mi Run

Originally I started bodyrock on a Sunday so I counted that as day 1 but the challenges technically are Monday through Friday so when I missed a Sunday I decided to count Monday as day 1. Now I am not sure what to do. Basically Saturday I was out of the house at 6:30am for a meeting and then we had to leave for inlaws half an hour after I got home and we packed car. Today with time change and having to go to church and then leave for home to get to birthday party, I couldn't do bodyrock. I took today and yesterday off of bodyrock and only ran today. I took on a BEAST of a hill almost 3/4 of a mile while at in laws and it felt like running through mud.Going down wasn't quite as easy as I anticipated. Took me 18:30 to do 2 miles. Feel slightly disappointed that I missed another day of bodyrock but glad I did something.
Tomorrow I will start the first weekly challenge for March on http://www.bodyrock.tv

Week 8 day 4/5 Bodyrock

Today I did day 4 of the last week of the February challenge.

I thought it was cool but a bit confusing-also from what my friend Jess who is bodyrocking with me said I knew I couldn't do it straight through.

Instead I set my timer for 12 minutes and just went through doing each one 10 reps. Was a bit slower on the first round because I was trying to figure out what the heck to do.LOL. I made it through 2x- doing 10 reps for each one-I ended a bit early so did a lot more squats with jump at end. Feel like some of these would be really good now that I know what to do. LOL. The ass in the air one was HARD! The plank-up on hands-jump up to squat then do drunk chicken- really felt in my obliques. Sumo ass out was good too. I also liked the pushups at the beginning. Overall liked the workout just took one round through to feel comfy with exercises. The pull ups were with my feet resting gently on floor-our pull up bar is Trey's height.

Week 8 day 2 - Bodyrock

This happens to me every year, January and February are nice and quiet and life starts feeling balanced...and then work starts rolling in and I feel frazzled.

Today the only time I was able to fit a workout in was right before lunch.


Since I don't have an equalizer I usually either use my railing down into the basement or do pushups. Today I did the routine upstairs and used the chin up bar- with my legs up on a stool. I have some serious strength to gain in this area.

I am noticing I feel much stronger with switch lunges which feels good. I didn't do the staggered pushups. I did the first round with some jumping of hands in normal pushup position but then reverted to normal pushups. I am happy to say I did all normal pushups except for the last 5-6 in the last set. Small progress but feels good.

Breakfast:
Plain yogurt
Oatmeal

Week 8 day 1 - Bodyrock and 2mi Run

Yesterday was my son Trey's 7th birthday. The weekend got away from me and I didn't get to do day one yesterday as I hoped.

Today I did Lisa's beginner workout- I was watching the video in the car while Trey was in religion, right after making my grocery list. I was running short on time, I did't even notice there was a beginner, intermediate and advanced. Psychologically I am not sure I like being a beginner, lol, but I am not sure how well I would have done with the intermediate.

I am struggling a bit with work out clothes. My pants seem to fit ok until I start doing mountain climbers and my pants start falling down-then I have to stand up and hike up my pants so I am not mooning the whole gym. Jumping over the ball was quite the site as well.

I detect some pms moodiness/bad attitude, so I will just keep my trap shut and keep plugging a long.

I also ran - I had a really hard time getting through 2 miles last time at the gym. I felt soooo bored! This time I set my interval timer for 22 minutes- to vibrate- and covered the treadmill with my shirt so I wasn't staring at how long I had to go. The vibrate helped me feel like I was getting somewhere.

I ran at 6.5 and did 2.23 miles in 22 minutes.

Breakfast:
Plain yogurt
pear
cottage cheese
oatmeal

Lunch:
2 eggs

Week 7 day 5 - Bodyrock and 2mi Run

Starting next week I will post workouts here daily but I am going to post a once a week summary on Facebook. I am getting sick of my wall being all about my workouts.
Since my food plan is very consistent and simple, posting my food plan everyday feels so redundant. I will create a page with a few sample meals and put a link in the sidebar instead of posting daily.

Work has been intense and this weekend is my little man 's 7 th birthday...how on earth parents of more than one child stay on top of it all beats me. Sooo tempted to blow off the workout today but this blog helps keep me accountable.
So I completed the 600 rep challenge. It took me 17:23.
http://www.bodyrock.tv/2012/02/25/six-pack-abs-workout-day-5-week-three-of-the-february-30-day-challenge/
