How much can the sand bag hold ? it looks terribly heavy :) What do you guys use to fill it with ?

hm…it says I got two replies, though I don’t see any…

  I wonder if they’re in a queue awaiting moderation? as I got some replies and could view them, then got more and nothing happened and there is nothing there!

    probably…I still don’t see them. Unless they got deleted.
Chris Lee

it depends on the size of the sand bag and what you fill it with. mine is sort of medium sized and i’ve got it filled with 15kg of pea gravel. i think some models can hold as much as 60 pounds, and some as little as 20. i’ve also had the same issue when getting replies. not sure why.

  Thanks for the response, Chris ! I actually purchased a Sandbag, but haven’t yet used it. I won’t use such heavy weights as Sean ( not even close :D ), but I was curious of the maximum weight it can sustain.

Again, just love the simplicity of both w.o :)
They look brutal – love it!! And love this little animation at the end of the video!
For Lisa Marie, it is the swoosh, for Sean, it is this little nose rubbing betwitched style ;)

Thanks for the hardwork guys! You are awesome. I have been bodyrocking for 2 years now.
Thanks to you I understood that working out could be fun and that yes you could be looking forward to your next workout. I am a BR addict!!
Love bodyrocking & love you guys!!!

Lisa, Sean & Freddy,

The name of this workout–”I won’t give up”–absolutely hit home with me today. I went for my second weigh-in at the nutritionist’s office and found out, much to my disappointment, that I’d gained back a half a pound thanks to all of those holiday indulgences. Ideally, you want to hear that you’ve lost weight, so it’s the worst of blows to hear that you’ve gained.

Before, when I’d hit a wall, I’d immediately give up. I’d say, “It’s not working”, “It’s not worth it”, “it’s too hard”. This time, I’m converting this setback into fuel… to push myself that much harder. I’m going to burn through my workouts and be more conscious of my eating. I will not give up! I have an excellent support system in my nutritionist, my counselor, my friends, myself and, of course, my fellow BodyRockers.

Therefore, my power word for today is PERSISTENCE!

Thanks for the amazing workouts!

Hi Rachel, keep in mind that as you are exercising your body composition will change…yes you will lose fat, but you will also gain muscle. I suggest that you do some body measurements with a tape measure…this will be the true telling of how you are doing…trust me, I weigh 140 pounds, but I still wear a size 4-6…
- Anonymous
  
  Wow, a 4-6! cool! How tall are you gerri lee?
  At the moment my goal is 140lbs, but I can’t imagine it being a 4-6. but sizes are different now than when I was last skinny.
  I used to be 118 and a size 6-8, and I was 105lbs of lean body mass then! stupid me, thought I was fat then! I think it was the muscle and the weight that used to get in my head. But not long before had been 98lb and size 5.
  - Lvette #1
    
    wow tee_w, 98lb. Don’t take offense to my question, but were you in good health at that weight. I’m just thinking its a big difference between 140lb and 98lb.
    - Anonymous
      
      oh I was a teenager at the time and I’m only 5 ft 1 inch tall, and now I’m kind of fat and 140 is my goal for now, I probably need to get at least to 120bs. those height weight scales say I should weigh 105lbs.
- ♥ BodyRocker Rachel ♥
  
  Great idea, Gerri! :) The thought muscle concept had occurred to me, but I hadn’t thought to measure myself. Thanks for the advice :)
- http://kenjibankhead.posterous.com/ ashtromanius
  
  Agreed. It’s also quite normal for someone who was previously sedentary or just an aerobic exerciser to gain weight while changing up a routine to include weights. It’s mostly water weight and will go away so that’s why having a gauge of circumference measurements and how your clothes fit and how you feel is WAY more important that the evil scale!!! I even need to remind myself of this as I have 20-25 lbs of baby weight to lose still. I also have to remind myself to be patient. He’s only 2 months old! So Rachel (and everyone else wanting change NOW!!!) be patient with yourself!!!
  
  I did only LMs routine today in 9:40.
Anonymous

Don’t worry, I worked out extra hard on my week off and gained 5.5 lbs! oops, already down 1 lb this week though, now that I’m eating (almost) normal again! ha ha!

but I agree with gerri lee, make sure you take your measurements too, because as you build muscle you can weigh more but take up less space!
- ♥ BodyRocker Rachel ♥
  
  Will do! Thanks, everyone! ♥
Lila Alejandra ♥

BIG HURRAY for you, because you are not giving up. I know that the hardest part is the diet. I have issues about it too. At times I can be very disciplined and at times a total pig =( Persistance is the word for you and many others. Good for you Rachel and keep it up!!

Jules

OMG totally awesome workout, thanks sooo much again for this week <3…Fantastic workouts!!!!! xxxx

Jules

I forgot to time myself for Lisa’s workout, but I did for Sean’s…22:45. Wow!! That was a crazy hard bicep workout Sean, but I Loved, loved , loved it!! Thank you soooo much.

hmmm is anyone else having trouble watching Sean’s video? On my computer the video freezes at 8:29. It’s funny because it’s right when Sean is spinning around in the dip station, and he looks stuck with this goofy smile on his face! lol

I’ve wanted to ask this question since I got my dip station, which way is it supposed to be facing? Narrow end forward, or wide end forward, or does it change depending on which exercise you’re doing?

By the way Sean, I really like when you wear your sweats, you just look more comfortable, the lululemon pants just don’t really look like they have give, though you look very fashionable in them. and I really like the cover shot on the video as guy with abs that show in jeans ….
sorry, what was I talking about? hee hee!

I like the top shot of Lisa on the couch too!

Hi Tee :) the narrow part of the DS the front. So face forward when doing any knee / leg raises and when doing reverse pushup type exercises face the opposite direction for a wider grip to work your back muscles.

Great workout, guys! I like the classic lifting moves mixed in to make more of a full body BodyRock-style move like Sean does! I feel like once I do this another time my form will be much better–I had some trouble figuring out the right weight and keeping my balance, LOL. Also, my walker was up on the highest level (my boyfriend is much taller than me), but for the dip station exercise it made it SOOO hard because my arms were stretched up higher above my head, so I think it was more of a lat exercise. Either way, it was rough!

I did Lisa-Marie’s in 7:25, and that includes me running inside and grabbing a new jump rope because mine broke! I used my stepson’s jumprope, but he’s much taller than me so the rope was really much longer than what I’m used to. I couldn’t move it as fast, but it was a nice challenge to have to hold it out at a different angle.

Sean’s workout: 15:34. I used a 35lb sandbag, a 20lb dumbbell sometimes and always the 2 10lb dumbbells for the bicep curl jacks.

half burpee rows: 35lb sandbag for all rounds
single leg one arm rows: 20lb dumbbell for round 1; 35lb sandbag for 10 on round 2, then doing the last 5 with a 20lb dumbbell; 35lb for round 3, but switching arms after every 5
arms ups: dip station (walker)
curl jacks: 2 10lb dumbbells

And my arms are looking the best they’ve ever looked, by the way! It’s amazing how just adding BodyRock into my life in the last 6 months and just eating well, but never making myself hungry has really made me SO much leaner and tighter. I <3 BodyRock! Please never stop doing this. Freddy, you're the glue in all of this and I know you must be working so hard, and I am soooo grateful. Lisa Marie and Sean are such wonderful hosts–their styles are so different but they really complement each other so well. I don't think I can take the weekend off–I still need to finish Sean's other workout, so I might do that. :D

Just keep being awesome, will ya? ;)

I have pushed through the week with dedication and didn’t cheat! Wooot!!! Now my active rest weekend-activity will be painting my bedroom. :D

Mu shoulders are so sore today, that I really like your workout Lisa for today !
After I will do yours Sean ;)

My Word today : MOTIVATED !!!!

Candice

My power word for today is CONSISTENCY, yesterday it was PRIDE,
I am gonna do this workouts on saturday /today/ because I do them one day later, however this is stilll 6th workout of the week for me!
I dont measure myself or check scale, just mirror, thats completely enough. I just eat clean and usually add some exercises or rounds to the workouts.

http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage.asp?id=VW_STEPH Stephanie

Those are some really good power words. I shall remember those for me to use next week. Thanks for sharing! :_

Nicole Tmy

This might be a stupid question, but are we suppose to be doing both Lisa and Sean’s workouts? Or choose one of them and do one? I have so far just been following Lisa’s :|

Anonymous

I think the option is there for both. sean’s are more muscle building so you can strengthen and build your muscles fast (burn more calories that way) and more isolating. while lisa’s are more cardio, core and then strength building and more allover body. It is your option to do both or do one or the other, up to you!

  Thanks for that :) I was starting to feel guilty that I was ignoring sean for a while but my arms are screwed from the week… sooooo no sean today judging from his biceps….. maybe tomorrow! as a weekend treat? hehe hope the 30 day program is treating you well ^-^

Carrie

I think Sean’s been eaten by the dip station ;0)

Brian

I thought this would be relatively easy. How wrong I was! A pathetic 7 minutes 10 seconds.

Vivi

Just finished Lisa’s workout : 4.43 min.
So simple to read but so hard to do with my shoulders in pain !!! OUCH. Good warm up before Sean’s workout NOW !!!

goodnight guys!

Vivi

Rest day for challenge PU for me because I let my body “quiet”. My muscles are so sore today on back & shoulders !!

Good job Tee !!
BodyRocker_Bonnie

Hi Tee! what’s an ab wheel?
- Anonymous
  
  hi bonnie! missed you lately!
  my youngest son bought it for me for christmas, you’ve probably seen them in a walmart or something. It is a small wheel that has a pipe going through the middle with grips on each side for your hands. you grip it while on knees and slowly roll out in front of you. it works abs, shoulders, chest, arms because your weight is on the wheel. if you are really strong then you do it from a pike position and roll out while only on toes! goofy thing but it was a thoughtful gift. he tried!
  - BodyRocker_Bonnie
    
    Thanks, Tee :) Its good to be back. It was a bad week and with all the new workouts I couldn’t keep up, didn’t even have time to watch them and then figure them out. It made me so grumpy…but, I’m back on track now and catching up a bit and I feel so much better. And I missed all you guys. Your abs wheel sounds like fun – nice way to mix things up a bit. I’m doing #4 this morning. Have a great Sunday.

SCORES:

Time: 8:51 mins .. not the best but hey! I guess that’s why I am doing this 30 day program!

That’s a fantastic score !! :)

My word: CELEBRATE!

Not only because it is my birthday, but because I think we forget to celebrate life in general! :-))) The mere fact that we are alive, that we are bodyrockers, that we made it this far, that we have friends etc, etc!

I won’t give up:
7:58:79

Straight on to Bangarang Biceps:
15:07:51

Seans muscels are AMAZING! On a shorty like me (1.62m) they would look strange though, so I worked with much less weight and thought to concentrate on speed instead. But wow, took me a lot of Whoooooshhhhs to get through it and I was pretty slow anyway. Especially the Dip Station Arms up (in a 90 Degree angle) slowed me down – I wish I could have lessened the weight on those, but I guess that’s what I’m working towards ;-)

Look at me, chatting again. Will do a full yoga session (90 min.) tomorrow.

All the best to all of you!!!

CONGRATULATIONS, Dear Katja :) I will think of you, when I celebrate with my girlfriends later! I hope you have the GREATEST day possible!

This week my word is DO IT.
Lisa’s WO 5.44
Sean’s WO 15.31 with 8kg SB
For the 3rd exercise i did seated pull up.

Minna

BOOOYAAAAH!!! I’ve DONE IT! ….Okay there went my last bit of energy. I am totally wiped out now that the week is finally over.

I didn’t give up: 7:22
Bangarang: 17:43 with a 8kg sandbag (Brutus was telling me to stop from the very second i pushed on my gymboss)

Lisa: I didn’t cheat, not once! Yeeeyyy I’m so proud of myself. Usually i work hard as heck but ruin everything after a couple of days. I’ve found true motivation and dedication. Of course, there are the next 2 days to ruin it but i won’t, not this time :)
I’ve been actively trying to eliminate the won’t “can’t” from my vocabulary.

Have a relaxing weekend everyone, enjoy yourselves. Can’t wait to try the fit test already.

Love, Minna

I just finished my post workout breakfast yummm! oatmeal with some other seeds + half a banana + almonds + skim milk.
I did the workout i posted yesterday on day 4. It was a combination of day 2 and 3 of Lisa marie’s workout with some modifications on some exercises to make it a 20 min long bodyweight only routine. It was intense! All those jumps and the exercise i almost died in was the speed run OMG!

1. 10 high knees & 10 m. runners: 6 sets
2. 2 jump squat + 2 push ups + 1 jump tuck: 6 sets
3. 2 side to side pike jumps + 2 plank jacks: 11
4. half burpees & squat hold: 20
5. Spider knee up push up & reptile push up (2 push ups as 1 rep): 6
6. Jump lunge pulses: 25
7. 4 side jump lunges + 2 tuck jumps: 4 and a half sets
8. 5 mini squats + 5 jump squats: 4 sets
9. 10 elbow to knee jumps alternating: 2 and a half. DIDNT like this…. boring sorry,

:D:D burpee for erin!!

Gerri Lee Schafer

Happy Saturday all.

Lisa Marie time challenge 5:35

Sean’s time challenge 16:14

1/ used 53 lb barbell for the row, did burpee in front of it
2/ used 25 lb weight plate for the first 2 rounds, switched to 18 for the last one
3/ did the first round getting my full body off the ground, last 2 with feet on the ground
4/ did the first round w/low jacks, last 2 without, 32.5 lb SB

my SB has a very narrow profile grip for doing curls, it also only has handles that let me do a hammer grip….if I do this again, I think I’ll just cut out the jacks and use a barbell or 2 dumbbells…hammer grip doesn’t work the biceps in the same way :-(

Gerri Lee Schafer

duh….and my PU for today, sets of 20

reverse on dip station…hey, it was already out

6:24 on Lisa Marie’s and I just did a once thru 10/50 circuit on Sean’s because I just have WAY too much to do today, but it was a good burn anyway. Have a good weekend Bodyrockers!

BodyRocker_Bonnie

Its been a horrible week of energy for me with work and I really missed joining in the fun this week like I wanted to. But I was SO HAPPY to be able to wake up and do these workouts this morning.

Lisa’s Workout: 6:33
Loved this quickie! Will do it often and mix up the dip station stuff.

Sean’s Workout: 18:00
I used a 25lb SB and moved carefully on the1-arm rows so I didn’t tork my back. I loved the half-burpee rows!! The jack curls I decided to modify as a squat and curl instead. I am careful of my knees and I’ve found I don’t like to jump with the SB unless I remove weight.

Push Up challenge (120) :
20 Santana
20 Regular with 2 knee to elbows
20 Regular with shoulder taps
20 2-feet elevated on Ugi
10 SB pushups with squat and press
10 Double Dandies (2 elevated PUs on dip station with 2 ab splits)

Obliques Abs Extra: 3 circuits (135 crunches)
15 oblique side crunches with 3 lb weight – left side
15 (same) – right side
15 V-up crunch with 3lb weight with alt. twist to each side

Have a great day everyone. Thank you Lisa, Sean, and Freddy!!!

BodyRocker_Bonnie

I forgot to say – I modified the dip station exercise that Sean did. I lifted myself up keeping just one heel on the ground and one leg elevated high. Felt like a very good modification for the full body raise. Nice burn on that one, Sean!

How I wish was rocking with all of you, I’m still not able to move properly. I see Zuz is back on facebook…nice to hear from her. Looking forward to her post here. This one month routine is a good idea. My best girl friend had challenged me to do a BCx boot camp challenge on Fitstudio.com to see who is the fittest. She thinks bodyrocking is not so hard since is only 12 minutes long most times. Once I’m well and I’ve gain back my strength I’ll call her on her challenge. She do this challenge for a month and I do her BCx challenge for a month, the loser gets to become a permanent member of the other fit club.
So, I hope Lisa Marie plans to make the routine harder each week.
Keep rocking Bodyrockers, I love reading your scores.

hope your feeling better soon!
I’m hoping zuzana is well too, funny how both her and lisa have the same rope on the same day though.

That’s beauty of HIIT. It doesn’t have to be a long workout to be intense.

Cindy

I did two day challenge today at the gym.
First, I did lisa’s workout
Burpee and pushup/tuck 14-11-11 (made me feel so powerful)
One leg lift commando push up 16-14-12 (love this exercise)
Triple pllank jumps 17-15-13
3 Half burpee/3 rocket launchers and 1 tuck jump 5-5-4
Total time= 17 minutes
Second, I did the 400 rep workout
My time was 9 minutes of pure sweat. I am a quiet person and when I am working out at the gym, I always look for a spot that I can avoid the a lot people around me. When you do these Bodyrock workouts, you have people looking and wondering what are you doing.
I want to give a Hug and a Thank you to Freddy, Lisa and Sean because you are doing so much for Bodyrockers around the world.
Always Love!

Ha ha, yeah, I am not a gym member but I went with my boyfriend to his gym and at first I was self-conscious but once I get into it all my self-consciousness goes away. It also makes me feel good because I know that I’m working harder than everyone around me. :)

Kathy_Bodyrock

thank you so much guys for a great sweaty first week in this year :) todays workout was so nice and I really enjoyed it :))

Lisa´s Workout took me 5:58min.
Sean´s Workout took me 15:51min – I used my 11kg Sandbag. For the “DipStation Arm Ups” I just had my feet on the ground (like seated arm/pull ups).
+Burpee for Erin <3

Have a wonderful nice weekend, bodyrockers :)) enjoy it! be strong with your clean eating diet :))

My word of the day: STRONG!

I achieved the first week! Yay! I took on the word ACHIEVE as my word for this (these) workouts, as I was almost not doing them and taking a rest day.
Lisa-Marie’s 400 rep workout took me 12:16. I did the knee lifts using my pullup bar, which seems to take it’s toll on my arms – also my grip. My hands are so sore… I need to fix my grip :s
Sean’s workout was a killer. I pushed as hard as I could and knew during the second round that there was no third round left in me. I feel good about it though and completed 2 rounds in 11:13.

Thank you guys so so much for the full 5 days of continuous workout, you have lifted me up so high this week and pushed me on to ACHIEVE and not give up. THANK YOU!! x

Ashley

Word of the day: Fun! I was worried I wasn’t up for a 400 rep workout, but then I when I saw it I thought: yay! skipping! which reminded me that working out should be fun! So I cranked the music and did Lisa’s in 10min on the nose. Part two: 15:37, with a break between rounds 2 and 3 for a dance break :D (stopped the timer).

Hey there! I fanally started bodyrocking again, after a month with a cold that wouldn’t go away. I started bodyrocking seriously around april 2011. By that time, Zuzanna was already at an amazing fitness level. So I gave my all and did the exercises with additional weight and really pushing myself to the limit. So then my muscles grew, but my ligaments and joints had a hard time following. I could feel it. Looking back at some of the firsts workout videos Zuzanna made, the intensity was lower : she was starting. So I’ve decided to start slower this time. Really focusing on form and not worry about speed nor reps count. So that’s what my body have teach me. Oh yeah, and I never miss the warm up or the stretching at the end of my workout… of course!

Anonymous

agree! form is always more important than speed, or weight! sometimes going too fast creates momentum and then your not using your muscles fully, and then your cheating yourself, plus easy to get hurt. that is why I modified day 2′s workout as for me trying to put in too many exercises in such a short time, I would have lost form and could have hurt myself! good for you to take care of yourself!

Gerri Lee Schafer

I’m going to do one of Jess’s WO from her FB page on Sunday morning…Thuper Thexy Thighs WO…now who could say no to that? LOL….I will be modifying the ninja jump knee tucks to straight jump knee tucks though….my brain won’t let me do ninjas….I’ve stopped even trying..If I do them, I just put my hands down and jump through…going for the cardio burn….I’ve really watched my calorie intake this week and am actually down 3 lb already….yeah….but I do miss my wine……

BodyRocker_Bonnie

Whoo!! Good for you, 3lbs!

Lisa’s workout took me 9min 6 sec. I dont have a dip station so I used my ab straps on my pull-up bar to do hanging knee raises. I didn’t do Sean’s workout simply because I don’t like isolating muscle groups like that. And believe it or not some women do build muscle very easily so I avoid too much weighted exercises. Sean did look good in the video though! The workout looked very hard.

thank you for this week’s workouts. i feel great!
scores today:

lisa marie’s: 4:54
sean’s: 14.08

i did the same as br_bonnie and did squat curls instead of jacks for the same reason (knee).

for pushups today:
weighted
pike press w/reptile
santana
press up w/leg lift
tapping

i used the fitness room today, which i never use, because it’s too public. well, it’s a slow, rainy day today and the ballroom was being used far a wedding, so i figured what the hell. i did my workout and thought to myself afterward “well, there’s a nice big mirror here, maybe i should take a couple of ‘after’ pictures”. wouldn’t you know it, but as soon as i take my shirt off and start snapping a pictures, the catering manager walks in looking for me. awkward. good thing i’m her boss…

see you next week

chris

oh, almost forgot. it’s our company’s post christmas party on monday. to ensure that i don’t fall off this fitness wagon, i’ve scheduled myself to open the next morning. wish me luck!

Come on now Chris, lets see the pics :) that was a funny story.

hi guys!

started with lisa marie’s 400 rep workout as my warmup!
still learning on those darn high knee skipping! lol did reverse curls instead of knee raises, am I the only one who hardly feels anything when I’m doing them?(the knee raises I mean!)
time – 8min 2 sec
followed with sean’s bangarang workout.
I used 20 lb in my homemade sandbag. used 10lb dumbbells for the low jack/bicep curl and I jumped then curled as I didn’t like the feeling of the movement when trying to curl. the dip station move I couldn’t pick up my feet nor could I keep my bum off the floor, but I did do little pull ups!
time – 16 min 51 sec

I took a 20 min break then did “wish you would” from day 4. toasted for today!

plus burpee for erin!

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_O4SC43FV7VRLXCETCTRK4FDZIY Audra

My husband and I kept up with the workouts but we cheated last night and had a bit of chinese food. :( To make up for it I did both Lisa and Sean’s workouts and did Lisa’s again once I was done. Will work out hard again tomorrow!
(Got my husband roped into Bodyrock! He already looks better after one week! We took pics at the beginning and will take more after the 30 days to see the difference.)
Here’s my times:
“I won’t give up workout”: 7:17
“Bangarang Biceps”: 10:40
“I won’t give up”: 6:36

Thanks to all the Hosts and Freddy for this awesome site! You all do an amazing job and your all so generous for it!

My score for Lisa’s: 10:31 (with ab rolls on the floor).
Yesterday I was moving to a new apartment so I couldn’t fit it between all the boxes, but today – well, my abs will hurt tomorrow… :D

I’ll take your word today Lisa, Achieve! This next week is all about studying before exams and, of course, stick with the challenge :). Have a nice weekend!

I’m thinking of doing 300 rep nightmare workout tomorrow. sunday http://www.bodyrock.tv/2009/12/17/300-rep-nightmare-workout/
if anyone wants to join me! good nght!

Carrie

If anyone starts to struggle with form in Sean’s workout, as I did – which caused my lower back to twinge – perhaps try what I did in the last two rounds, rather than giving up (which I nearly did) – just switch to straightforward rows without the burpees, and do the single arm rows from a non-moving lunge position. It still really works out your arms, trust me!

So yesterday (Saturday) I did Sean’s Day 3 weighted workout and I had to modify a lot because it did not feel right for my body to do some of the exercises. I also alternated sides after each rep but I still feel a strange pain in places I never felt before. Oh well, gotta do what works best for me and this one obviously did not. (Not your fault Sean :))

After that I did Lisa’s 400 rep challenge. I can’t use my rope inside, so it was just high knees and various ab exercises on the floor (no dip station) – butt lifts, leg lifts, ab crunches, bicycles.
My time was 5:23. After that I danced like crazy for 20 minutes :))

Today I’m going to do Hot Body Beach workout and rest on Monday. Have a great Sunday Bodyrockers!

Jurgita T.

I did this workout today and i complete in 06:30:78 thats realy good cardio….
ps.i cheat a bit this week,thats my bad :P sometime is dificult say no for chocolate or biscuits :(

Anonymous

I did again! Day #5 completed (with British accent;) ! It took me 10 min & 54 sec. I had to modify knee lifts on the dip station b/c pain in my hand joints was unbearable. My son yesterday asked me if I lost weight–I did not think so (& not according to scale), but he observed that I looked better. During this week I ate very clean except for few pieces of extra dark chocolate & couple of glasses of chardonnay. We can do it! I can’t wait to become an enhanced butterfly by the time I shade layers of winter clothes!

Nocar_at16

Could u explain the active rest days? I am so used to hours of cardio at the gym everyday that I’m afraid to take days off… What happens if you don’t take days off to rest? And what happens if u do? If I understood and could rationalize the rest days to myself it may be easier to take the day off.. Also what types of things do u do on your rest say? Thank you for all of your motivation and dedication

http://www.facebook.com/kendra.oberhauser Kendra Lee Oberhauser

They mean do something else active–maybe go for a hike or go dancing. Or just walk. They’re just advocating that you don’t just lie around. I, personally, like to work out 6 days a week, even if a couple of those days are little 10 or 12 minute-ers, so I did another workout yesterday and will do another today and then take maybe Monday off. You should definitely have at least one day off a week to rest from intense exercise. You can actually retard your benefits by not resting. Some people find that resting more actually is more beneficial. The muscles need rest time to repair.

But if you wanted to go for a walk or get out and do something light, that’s fine! Happy ARDing!

It’s winter here so – ice skating, snowshoeing, skiing, cross country skiing, walking. or go swimming, bouldering, take an exercise class, play basketball at the Y, go power shopping in a mall, taking all the stairs! lol walk the stairs in your apartment building, take your kids to the park and play with them – go down the slide, play tag etc,
walk your dog, go for a hike, bike ride, play hockey, go tobogganning, badminton, tennis, surfing – if you are janet in hawaii, paddleboarding, windsurfing, sailboating, racketball,squash,play ping pong with your kids, build a deck, paint your room, sort all your recycling and take it to the recycling center, play tourist in your town and see the sites! is that enough ideas! have fun!

Ho Attack Workout for me today plus Lisa’s Squeezes workout.

I imagine lots of people visiting this site are beginners (being the New
Year, resolutions, start off right ….), This is an amazing site and
you will get in the best shape of your life. You do have to stick with it and keep trying.

if you are struggling with push ups or press ups and have to do them
from your knees – this is how I got to the legs extended types: every
time I did a set I’d try a few with extended legs. Once I got up to 5 in
a row, I’d push to six, then seven and one day I no longer had to do
any of my press ups from my knees.

All of the exercises are tough, but challenge yourself by trying one or
two of the advanced types once you start feeling a bit stronger – you’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll gain
strength that way – but baby steps – you never want to hurt yourself, and get discouraged and stop.

Natalie Anna

Hey Sean, Lisa, and Freddy! I posted this in Lisa’s facebook wall but I don’t know if she got it… So I’ll say it here. I wanted to know if you guys could incorporate more lower back exercises/stretches into your workouts! I talked to my doctor the other day, and she said that my abs are sticking out so much because my lower back/spine is curved too far inward! She said that when I stand straight against a flat surface, she shouldn’t be able to slide her arm all the way through the hole between my back and the surface, but she can. And she said that she sees it all the time. It’s when the muscles aren’t equal in strength and she advised that I work more on my lower back! The reason I look like my abs/lower body isn’t looking any better/toner doing these workouts is because my abs are strong, but my lower back is really weak! And my doctor said it would get rid of the lower back pain if I started working on my back more ): Thanks a bunch!

i have the same problem. if anyone knows some good exercises i’de be happy to do them i’m sick of the ones i know.. :)
Annebel Wind

Hi Natalie,

I am a exercise therapist and I can tell you that it’s not the problem with the muscles of your lower back beeing to weak.. They are probably to overworked because of the way you are standing and moving. The muscles in your lower back are the strongest backmuscles you have.. So training them will give you more pain. If you want to get rid of backpain I suggest you go and see an exercise therapist or a physiotherpist who looks at the way you move, stand, walk, sit and lift things and learns you how to do this in a good way. i see people with the problem you have every single day and treat them. Only I live in Holland so that can not help you.. And with the workouts that you are doing on bodyrock, be carerull with the ab exercises.. If you feel your back with for example leg lifts lying down on the ground.. Than you are dropping your legs to low to the ground.. Go as low as you can with your back still on the ground.. If you have specific questions you can ask me any time.. Hope this will help a little bit.. .

  Hi Natalie
  
  100% agree with you. Some people are naturally lordotic (have a more curved lower back). All the more reason to visit a physio or exercise therapist for a technique that won’t aggravate the problem.
Ejm135

Hi Natalie Anna,
As a chiro, I will second what many of the other posters have said. If you’re abs were tight and lower back weak, you would be more likely to have a decreased lumbar lordosis – not an increased one. The hamstrings and hip flexors are also often involved. Someone posted about “lower crossed syndrome” - which is tight hip flexors and lower back erectors and weak abs (especially your transverse abdominus) and hamstrings – this is very, very common, especially in people that have a more sedentary job/lifestyle. Of course, there may be other things going on as well and without knowing your specific case, it’s hard to tell. For instance, some people are just born with more of a lordosis than others. Keeping muscles that work together balanced is very important to preventing injury, biomechanical stress, and other problems down the road. As others have mentioned, finding a good chiro/physical therapist/exercise therapist/massage therapist/etc. could go a long way in correcting what sounds like a muscle balance issue, correcting any other underlying issues, and preventing problems down the road.
bodyrocker from Australia

Hi Natalie Anna, just to clarify, are you suffering from Lordosis/anterior pelvic tilt in your lower back? If so, I have always had a very deep curve in my lower back to. I have never had any back problems though as this is something I’ve had all my life from childhood. Just a few hints to help you with it, which Im sure your doc has probably already addressed.

If you find your lower back is hyperextending causing you discomfort, try and consciously tuck your hips in just slightly, this should reduce the amount of curvature in your lower back. Not too much though, and don’t forget to keep your glutes tight when in any squat or power position. To help the anterior pelvic tilt minimise itself, the deep core muscles are important in stabilising your spine, however your superficial ab muscles like your six pack and obliques etc, are more designed for stabilising the pelvis which means that the butt sticking out look will gradually reduce. Also stretch out your hip flexors frequently and try and aim to strengthen your glutes as well. This should help stabilise the pelvis a bit more. If you find that your shoulders are rounded forward causing that hunched over look, even slightly, training back is very important, especially your rhomboids, so reverse pushups on the dip station and rows are great for that.

I get these issues with my clients all the time, hope this helps love. All the best :) cheers. Keep rocking.

  ps
  
  As I don’t know the extent of how bad your lower back is, if any of the above even slightly cause any discomfort, consult a physiotherapist. All the best.
Natalie Anna

Wow thanks so much everyone for the info!!! My doctor told me that my abs are strong because when she feels them, she says I have a lot of muscle covered by just a little bit of fat (like everyone has) but then she said my back muscles are weak. So she said to work on strengthening my back. She didnt tell me anything about things be too tight or what needs stretching and stuff like that. So when I looked online I just saw a bunch of stuff about back exercises and stretching. Nothing about my abs maybe being too weak… I looked up some stretches for the hip flexors so I’ve been doing those, but I dunno what I should do about my back! I hear that I have to strengthen it but then I hear that strengthening it might hurt it even more! I dunno what to do!!!!!
- Shirin_ramez
  
  Hey Natalie,
  
  Don’t worry about doing any lower back exercises as you already do enough if you’re doing your bodyrock exercises with good form, same goes for your abs..with your abs exercise just make sure you’re engaging your abs instead of your hip flexors when doing leg lifts and raises. If you start to feel you’re lower back kicking in during ab exercise do a modified version of the exercise instead, as long as you feel your abs doing the work, you’re fine.
  Focus on stretching your hip flexors as it is the muscle that pulls on you lumbar spine (lower back) and make sure to try out the static bridges I mentioned above in one of my posts to
  strengthen your butt muscles, the butt muscle is extremely powerful but many of us don’t know
  how to engage it properly so the lower back ends up doing the work. The hip flexors are worked a lot in bodyrock programs so it’s very important to stretch the often especially if you are a regular body rocker.
  
  If you are starting to experience pain or discomfort in your lower back then it’s time to visit a physiotherapist.
  
  Cheers.
Shirin_ramez

Hey Natalie,

I am a personal trainer and posture specialist, it sounds like you have a posture condition called Lordosis.. And that’s because you hip flexers are very strong and your flutes are weak, it has nothing to do with your abs being too strong. When your doing ab work you have to make sure that you hip flexors are not doing most of the work and make sure to strengthen your flutes cause a lot of times the lower back compensates for what the butt should be doing, so make sure you really focus on activating your butt when you’re working out…that will take a lot of pressure off you lower back especially when you have stronger glutes.

Lordosis is an exaggerated curvature of the lumbar spine(lower back), it’s always good to see an actual professional to correct that, cause in women it tends to get worse with pregnancies.
In the mean time you might want to focus on tilting your hips back which require a slight contraction of the butt when ever you can.
Bridges are also an awesome way of strengthening the butt, the secret is to stop the set when you start feeling it in your lower back. Get into a bridge position and really focus on squeezing the butt, hold that position and as long as you feel it in your butt you good, as soon as your lower back or hamstrings start to kick in and do the work(trust me you’ll feel one of them kick in pretty fast) lower your butt to the ground and take a break. Do this often, it really helps.

Hope you back feels better soon.

Hi everyone, had a busy, but great weekend.. did part 4 yesterday and part 5 today.. Well didn’t do Seans part yet.. Will do that one tomorrow and also the first workout of this week.. Looking forward to it! Loving the challenge so far.. Lisa, Sean and Freddy.. You are doing a great job!
Oh my time :D 8.55 for the 4 rounds..

http://twitter.com/aimsnicho Amy Meran

hello BodyRockers! i did day #5 today, i love this workout because its Cardio and core! i finished it in 8:20mins.. oh and Im 15yrs old. i decided to do the workouts from bodyrock because a year ago when my grandmother died i was very depressed and i started to eat alot,all i would eat would be JUNK food like Pop-tarts and McDonald were my best friends,and it was very bad and i started gaining a lot of weight.. then what i started to realize is that when adults get older that’s when they start to worry about getting healthy,loosing weight,(e.t.c) well i decided to start healthy and end healthy.when i was 13 i weigh almost 170pounds i wasn’t the “fat kid” because im super tall and now im 15 and i weigh 135!!! now im in a healthy weight and im 6ft! (hope i stop growing now) i always have a lot of goals a year ago my goal was to be in a healthy weight now that’s completed,now my other goal is to get a Six-pack like lisa’s or Zuzana’s! haha :)

Anonymous

good for you amy! healthy eating is good at any age! and developing exercise habits is also good! 135 does sound a little light for 6ft, so make sure you’re not getting too obsessive over a number, keep you’re eating pretty clean, enjoy once in a while, eat enough to support your training, and activities. you might have to up your food/protein to build the muscles so you can see your six pack (and the reason I thought 135lb was light is my son is 6ft1 and 130lb so I can see how skinny he is! as a girl it would look different!)

Did Lisa’s workout today with a total time of 5:11. I haven’t done high knees with jump rope in a long time, I now remember how hard it is, especially when you get to about rep 55…

I decided to go back to an older workout and do a leg workout with the 300 Squat Challenge. http://www.bodyrock.tv/2011/05/24/game-on-300-squats-challenge/.

I beat my old score from May 28/11 by 2 minutes and 5 seconds! Today’s time for 300 squats: 8:07.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

just did this workout. my time for the 400 rep one is : 7:51
and my time for Sean’s routine: 15:14- i kinda took my time dunno why :(
i did the Hottie Body Workout from 2009. it was really great- short and intense and i really felt my abs hurt when i got up!

MariaBjørgJepsen

Sunday was my only rest day, after a GREAT night out dancing – so I guess I haven’t been as holy as I could. But I had a fantastic time :) I did stay away from the 2 am pizza, Sean!!! ha ha. Saturday I did Isidora’s awesome 20 min. workout (see Day 4) and today I finally got to this one. I am STILL waiting for my Dip Station to arrive, so I did Hanging Knee Raises from my pull-up bar instead. I can’t jump with rope where I live, so I doubled the regular High Knees to 150 each round, instead.

4 rounds = 04:38.

Sunday was my only rest day, after a GREAT night out dancing – so I guess I haven’t been as holy as I could. But I had a fantastic time :) I did stay away from the 2 am pizza, Sean!!! ha ha. Saturday I did Isidora’s awesome 20 min. workout (see Day 4) and today I finally got to this one. I am STILL waiting for my Dip Station to arrive, so I did Hanging Knee Raises from my pull-up bar instead. I can’t jump with rope where I live, so I doubled the regular High Knees to 150 each round, instead.

4 rounds = 04:38.

Why can´t I see the comments that other bodyrockers make of my own comments? I can´t figure out the dashborad thing =(
By the way, I found this amazing video I just loved. It makes us realize how much we are connected to nature.

Has anybody heard about Nuriche??

I would like to know what some of you guys think about this health supplement and energizer; If it´s worth investing in your health with these products. It seems interesting to me, but I want to be 100% sure.

They recovered very quickly under homeopathic care. However, without fail, I got some cold symptoms which made for restless sleeps. Took Friday and Saturday off from workouts completely to rest &recover.

Warmed up with 10x flights of stairs + light stretches.

12 Min. Workout: 18 Rounds – 10 sec. Rest + 30 Max effort
Repeat sequence of 6 exercises three times.

1.Burpees (w/ Push up & Jump up): 8 – 8 – 8

Okay… so.
Starting with my cheat day. Popcorn with butter also, some peach cobbler. then a “taste” of cake.
With that said, here are my scores for today from Friday’s workout. 5:18, 14:36 Bonus 4min. abs w/20min. skip.
Lisa, IM IN LOVE!! Thank you for the support and straight to the point attitude. GET IT DONE!

If I workout at home, I substitute mountain climbers or step-ups +knee up, landing very softly.

http://moveeatlivewell.blogspot.com/2012/01/jessicas-beginners-guide-to-bodyrocktv.html JessJN

Freddy & Zuzana used to say that these were the only workouts they did. If there is a schedule posted, it usually has 5 workouts a week, with two active rest days. That means do something else fun that gets you moving. For almost a year, they are the are the only ones I have done, & my fitness has improved. I do a workout 5-6 times a week, & about 3 of those I follow with 12-20 min jump roping.

1. you can do the workouts wherever you want! :)
2. if you feel like you’re really pushing yourself at max intensity, then that’s fine. Some people just don’t sweat that much ;) maybe you’re one of them!

Lisas Workout Second Time: 6:01 (last time 7:17)

BUT: Forget my skipping rope at home, so I did High Knees without it. I think that saved a lot of time because I never stumbled :)
Between the High knees I did 2x Knee Raises from the floor and 2x Push Ups from knees!

Sarah G

I did Lisa’s workout in 6:30. I did leg lifts on the ground, with my hands under my bum.. which surprisingly makes the exercise harder! You really feel your abs working!

I did Sean’s in 16:51, with a 20 lb sandbag. I also subbed in push ups for the arm ups.

For a warm up, I walked for 30 minutes :)

Bring on week 2! :D

Sarah G

I noticed something I thought I should mention though. Sean, your workouts are amazing, and you are obviously a tank! However, you look like you hold your breath a lot while doing the moves. I know it’s hard not to sometimes, but it’s not very good for you.
So… breathe Sean, BREATHE! :) lol And everyone else breathe, too ;)

I live in the netherlands, so we’re 6 hours ahead.. So when we started the challenge I did an extra old workout to fill in a day. So this workout was my monday workout, and I loved it! I love Seans workouts allot, they are so challenging! <3 And I really like his explanations, they are so important, because it's so vital to do those moves correctly. So big praise to Sean.

My time for Lisa's workout was : 7 min 45

My time for Seans workout was ; 25 min 18. I did allot of downward dogs, cat and child pose – yoga stands in between to stretch out my lowerback and shoulders, because my lowerback is my weak spot and my shoulder ligament is recovering, so Seans workout was perfect for me. I have used 7 kilos, I can handle more now. I'm going to try 8 or 9 tommorow. :D

The mountain climbers are usually challenging enough that I feel like I’m working hard. Step ups are not as intense, but if I add weight they can be. Thanks for checking out my site!

days 6 and 7 were active rest days. I imagine the next formal workout will be up sometime this evening. I live in the Eastern time zone and the new workouts are usually posted in time for me to write it down b4 I go to bed so I know how my day is going to start after.

Chris Lee

i did the “take it off” workout today, with an abs workout and pushups

18/10/30
HKS 84-84-86
ninja jump tuck 9-8-9
HKS 79-88-88
sb swing 16-16-16
HKS 92-99-90
ab split on ds 14-13-13

pushups today:
fwd towel slide
reptile
dynamic
happy monkey
slo-mo burpees

gerri lee, i took your advice on the burpees and paused after each motion

drop into plank, hold
drop down into pushup, hold
push back up into plank, hold
jump forward into squat, hold
jump into the air, hold :)
land back in squat, hold

they felt pretty good – a lot harder when you focus on each movement.

ok, bonnie, here are the pictures…remember i’m not a photographer!

the first one is summer 2010 i was bodyrocking only a couple of days a week.
the second one is summer 2011 – i leaned out a lot, but there wasn’t a lot of muscle tone
the last 2 are from the other day.

hopefully this works.

see you tomorrow!

nice pics Chris….looking good, your children are beautiful!!!!!!
Today is my active rest day…still waiting for the new post, but will probably do one from Jess’s FB page in the am…the one with all the mountain climbers in it.

I’m also going to try something new to me tomorrow….I always work out first thing in the morning, and I will continue to do that, but I’m feeling pressed for time and a bit worn out getting my push ups done right after my WO…..so I’m going to try doing my PU’s after work and before dinner with some skipping and ab work thrown in ….this will also prevent me from coming home and having “just a little snack” before dinner ….hahahaha

I agree with you on the burpees, much more challenging doing them with proper form instead of with great speed
BodyRocker_Bonnie

Hey Chris, great pics! Your new nickname is Stud’Lee. Just drop the Chris altogether. Ok so you were cool to post your photos so I’ll swap some progress pics. One is of my very first day doing BodyRock (July 4, 2011), and then another is at my 6 month mark on Dec. 4th (holding the Ugi), and then the other pics are from Dec. 29th, after the big push-up party started. I feel like the month of Dec. made a big difference! P.S. cute kids and they are so lucky to have a healthy parent for a good role model. My dad is 70 and blows me away how healthy he is – he is an avid swimmer and has been a great example to me to have fun and stay fit, and make the time to do it.
- Anonymous
  
  Bonnie those are great results in just 6 months! wow!
  and the difference between the 4th and the 29th is great!
  
  I’ve been slacking the last two days on the pushups, but you’ve just motivated me to start again! but I’m kind of toying with the idea of changing them into burpees, because I’m twice the woman you are! literally! lol
  
  over this past year I’ve managed to lose 15 – 20lbs which for me was a massive struggle, trouble with food! sigh! but when I look in the mirror I can’t really see any difference. I know there is but it’s not very noticeable. but I had to go out and buy new yoga pants as mine were falling down - large down to medium! yay! I always thought that since I’m so short 20lbs would be so noticeable! but unfortunately its not! hopefully the next 20 will be a huge difference!
  - BodyRocker_Bonnie
    
    THANKS Tee :) I really feel like the push ups have helped with my abs just as much as my arms. I haven’t lost much weight according to the scale (only about 10lbs), but I’ve dropped two sizes and I know that I put on a lot of muscle and I feel SO much better. Don’t get discouraged, you’ve come a long way and I hear how hard you work and how you don’t ever give up (which keeps me going too, by the way, so thanks!). I believe we have to hold onto the things we can celebrate and pat ourselves on the back for every small win, they add up. Congrats on the new yoga pants, whoot!
- Chris Lee
  
  great progress, bonnie! you look great! my dad sounds similar to yours. he’s 75 now, still rides his bike every day (usually to the golf course and back – about 20k round trip), walks the course, and does it about 150 times a year. he is my inspiration, i guess. it’s funny, but growing up i never thought i would turn out to be as dedicated and disciplined as he is (or even wanted to), but bodyrocking and being a part of this community has really turned things around for me. i get it now.

wow chris,you look super fit! good for you! your kids are adorable as well I can see how that might have been a little awkward in the gym! lol

rest your arms. Lactic acid buildup in the muscles is one thing (and still signals a need for caution but you can work through it) but when you are sore like that in the connective tissue (as I was also from day 4) you need to rest. You don’t want to work yourself into injury so you are out for a longer time. Focus on other body parts and be careful how much weight you are lifting. Personally, I think Sean was crazy to double the weight in his sandbag. It is important to challenge ourselves but we need to do these things incrementally. Most of all. Listen to your body. It is important to get appropriate rest and prevent injury.

You guys are awesome, and REALLY encouraging! Every time I see a move, and I think I can’t do that because I don’t have (insert object) you guys give a variation and it really takes away all my excuses! So keep up the hard work, there are new people finding out about you all the time that you are inspiring!

Do we count each “jump” during high-knees as 1 or every other jump?

Mmghia

Everytime the rope rotates around is one.

Sarah Spencer

Yes, I know. I’m a week late….I just did the Fit Test. I suck. Really badly. That’s what a week without Bodyrocking will do to you. BUT! I made up for it with a healthy meal: rolled oats with frozen mixed berries, some almonds and one tsp brown sugar. Hehe…

Squat Jumps-30
Push ups (Knees)-12
Burpees-7
High Knees-90
Switch Lunges-8
Tuck Jumps-10

ok, no one attack me please for asking this.. I have been a follower for over a year and fully support the new hosts and changes… however, is it ok to ask if Zuzana will be doing anymore posts or is she no longer a part of bodyrock? Curious and just asking.. I know anytime people mention zuzana everyone replies with negative comments… this is just a question for freddy or Z :)

So I missed the workout from last Thursday as I was resting for a race so I did it first- the one with 12 rounds of 10 and 50.

Burpee with pushup: 12, 10, 9
reverse pushup 13, 13, 13
triple plank jumps (counting each plank as a rep) 13, 13, 12
kneeups on dip station20, 18, 16
and then I did “I won’t give up in 9 minutes 33 sec. before doing about 1/2 of Sean’s w/o in a very slipshod manner and will not bother reporting the time. I would however like to say that I ran an 8 km race on Sunday and took 2 minutes off my time from the same race last year for a personal best on 8 km of 50:47. I know that BR has helped me alot with that two minutes because in Feb last I turned my ankle so badly that I couldn’t run again until August. That is when I started BR (Marchish) and there is no way I would be in the shape I am now if not for BR keeping me going until I could run again and now of course I do both. Glory Be! Thanks to the whole BR team!!

they post them usually 7:30pm EST ( eastern standard time) so you have to adjust for whatever your time zone is. Also if you wish to work out in the morning, pick an archived one and do the new one Tuesday!

Sooo I don’t have a dip station so I held onto my pullup bar. This was definitely a grip workout because my forearms were killing me because they were so tight. The next day I definitely felt sean’s back workout. Both great workouts.
Lisas time 7:34 and Seans time 13:30 Woooo!

Robin L.

Hey Freddy, I have to tell you in the last week, I’ve had comments about my body, even by other fitness trainers. One trainer said she was jealous of how I look. he-he. The other said I’m in great shape.

A couple days later, I saw an old friend in the market. Kellie said she has seen me around town and noticed how LEAN I looked. We talked for about an hour in the market and I decided to turn her on to my secret. Bodyrock.tv. so now I’m mentoring her. She LOVES bodyrock and thanks me over and over for letting her know about it. I had to tell her how the site the operates because it can be a litttle over the top for beginners.

I think this is what you are talking about when you said WORD OF BODY in action. I’ve been bodyrocking for almost 3 years. I’m not a long endurance kind of person and this type of exercise is just plain fun. I’m a health and fitness success coach and mentor and bodyrocking is a big part of training for clients and myself.

The best part is I just turned 62 and I’m mentoring women much younger. woo hoo!

I LOVE BODYROCKING. I love the site. How it was and how it is now. Thank you. Thank you

P.S. I’m on a 7 day challenge for myself. Be active everyday for 7 days. I’m on day 4. So fun. Robin

I did Lisa’s in 8 .05 and Seans in 20. 46 with a 25 pound kettlebell. Absolutely loved the single leg rows. so much fun. The first burpee to row slowed me down because I felt like the row position was awkward to me. as a lifter, the row position is different , and i felt like the crouch position after the burpee wasn’t targeting my lower back.

hi sissyo,

as I was writing that comment I realized that sizes must be different as I was a stick when I used to wear a 5 or 6 and now they seem to have size 0. can’t imagine anyone being much skinnier than I was then! I have refused to buy clothes for years so I’ve mostly bought sweats and yoga pants which don’t have numbers! lol I’m not concerned about what size I wear (except the big sizes!) or what weight I will be but how I look in the mirror! I want to see my hard earned muscles! but I am realistic, no six pack as more poor baby belly will always obliterate it, but a flat tummy will be nice!

It was christmas goodies, gained in less than a week and now taken 2 weeks to get back off! but I did! I’ve been working out for over 30 years gaining 5 lbs of muscle in a week ain’t gonna happen! lol

Just did Lisa’s workout my time was 7:22. I didn’t do Sean’s because I don’t have the equipment either. I did leg and butt toning moves that I learned from other workouts instead. Thanks guys! Can’t wait to start week 2!

Just finished day 5, awesome. I feel so great. My time was 9 min 36 seconds for Lisa-Marie’s didnt time Sean’s. I am proud of making it this far, I am a mother of three kids under the age of 5 and love that I can do this before they get frustrated that I am not paying attention to them. And I still feel like I have worked my body harder then I ever have. I feel just like the mom you quoted, its one of the things that has kept me from working my body so hard, that i just didnt have enough time to do an hour workout with my kids. I am proud to say that with keeping my diet in check and doing this challenge I have lost 5 pounds already. I almost can’t believe it. Thank you again for all you do!

Hi everyone :)
When Lisa says 75 High Knees, does it mean 75 per leg or just 75 as a total ?

Miss_Muffin

Thisone was really fun! Sean’s workout nearly killed me but I survived ;)
I did the beginner version of almost everything but here’s my times anways:

Lisa’s: 9:12
Sean’s: 22:32 (a lot of breaks in there heehee)

Can’t wait for tomorrow!

the 75 knee highs….are they 75 EACH LEG (150 total), or 75 total each time around?

Do you guys usually do both trainings? Lisa’s and Sean’s?

I love how short and effective these workouts are! I’ve done other workouts that can last up to an hour, as a stay at home mom that’s really hard to do with two young kids. Even thought they are short they really work. I’m really sore in my shoulders today, and probably my arm’s tomorrow thanks to Sean’s workout. In Lisa’s workout it was like I forgot how to count in round three and four. haha When I would get to about 60 knee ups I was breathing so hard that it was hard to concentrate on counting. Thanks again for another great workout!

Lisa-Marie’s workout

7:17
-I did high knees and reverse crunches.

Sean’s workout

16:48
-I had to really modify round three. For the single leg row I took out the knee lift and just stayed in the lunge position and did 15 rows on each side. For the Jack Curls I strictly did curls no jacks. My forearms are still on fire. ;)

time was 7:47!! getting stronger and not giving up!! Thank you Lisa for being such an inspiration!!
