I did Sean’s 300 Rep Time Challenge today, Mar. 7th, 2012. I wanted to stop halfway through, but I didn’t! For the 3 minute Abs Challenge,  I did 13 full sit ups, 12 Butt Lifts and 10 Bicycles. I’m spent. And have a headache. Going to bed. Bodyrocking tomorrow! Thanks guys!

 I don’t post ALL of my workouts like I used to on here. I actually don’t find it too hard to pick it back up again from my fem issues, lol.

I think what they mean is, there is no rest; for a total of 6 minutes.

Being far from home teaches us many many lessons, that are making us stronger. I’m sending you a big hug, LIsa-Marie! xxx :)

Hi Hawai’i Leah,

Lisa says in the video and appears to be doing, 3 rounds of 30 sec and 30 sec, both work no rest of abs for a total of 3 min.  I’m not sure why the instructions say 18 rounds of 20 20 that would be 12 minutes!  lol

did “Butt Buster Workout” this evening.  http://www.bodyrock.tv/2010/11/04/butt-buster-workout/ unfortunately my earlier workouts didn’t happen due to a phone call.  I answered because I hadn’t started but couldn’t get off the line!  I won’t answer the phone once I start!

Oh well, I’m rather sore from that crossfit WOD I did yesterday.
If I have time after bowling and errands I’m going to do Super Hot Booty Workout tommorrow.

I have to do my March Ab Madness yet and I’m going to do some burpees for Erin, to send good vibes her way for her results tommorrow!

did my march ab madness
40 plank toe touch
40 reptile plank
40 bum ups
40 supergirl planks
40 get ups
total 200 rep for a total for march so far of 1200 reps

plus I did 5 burpees for Erin, wishing her best wishes for her test results!

I’m glad that this routine involves jump rope, because this week I decided on SKIPPING! :) I did this one approx. two months ago, when it was named Pumped up kicks, so I revisited it the way it was back then, with 3 min ab bonus. Here are my scores:  http://focusandfeelfreetofly.blogspot.com/2012/03/pumped-up-kicks.html

Now, emotional eating … I used to be quite a heavy one. I ate chocolate, cookies, salted snacks and grains (etc.) mostly out of feeling lonley or bored. I know how it feels like to comfort yourself with food. It seems pointless, but you feel you can’t do without. You just do it – just eath those unwanted foods and sky high quantities of it. And you meet with bringing yourself down because of it again and again and you sink even lower into that depressed climate you create.

I got over that and I’m SOOOO happy I did. It was a long process (several months, maybe even years). What helped me was talking about me, my problems, my future, what I want, how I feel and what I think. It’s important to pay enough attention to the problem (not food, but self-image, loneliness – whatever feeling you’re trying to distract yourself from by eating), and to making plans for your future actions, positive thinking and bringing hope and feeling strong again. Just by dealing with your problem without focusing on solutions, then you won’t reach any goal or resolve problem. You have to picture your way out of it and focus on all areas of your life, which means taking attention off fitness for a while. It does not mean you should stop working out, definately not, but it should be something that accompanies your life in general. I also started eating paleo and found out that it’s the perfect way of eating for me. It regulates my blood sugar and I have no cravings whatsoever. Bye, bye, emotional eating! :)

I hope that Lisa will find the strength and path to solve her struggles and with her all of you that are facing emotional eating. Just keep in mind that emotional eating is not about eating or food, but about the way you perceive yourself and your life situations. Best!

I can’t understand how to do the Ab bonus-first you say it for 50 sec. and 1 round andthe second time for 20 sec. 18 rounds.Please,explain me,guys.

Yes to both, so I sympathize.  BUT I believe being disappointed in one’s scores is a negative feeling that we need to banish right away, lest it breed other negative thoughts. If you can’t be proud of the numbers, be proud that you DID bodyrock that day.  Think of all the people who didn’t do ANY exercise that day…….chin up.

To question #1 – sort of but I really don’t care if I’m better or worse than anyone else just as long as I do the workout. And to question #2 – I don’t beat myself up over my monthly issues…I honestly believe that my body is telling me, “Back off! You need to rest a bit then we’ll get back to some serious business.” :)

T.Y Lisa you’re amazing!!!!and Freddy and Sean!

What brand are your dumbbells and where can I get them?  I only have to sizes but really don’t have the space for more:/  Thank you so much!  You are fabulous Lisa!  

I bought a cheap little 3×5 “ecotique” notebook from Target last year.  It’s almost full now!  I have to write small, but I like how compact it is.  I can easily fit it in my yogabag, purse, etc.

Question were we supposed to the ab bonus for 18 rounds and 20s of work & 20s of work or the usual of 3rds of 10s/50s of work. I did the ab bonus of 3 rounds with 10s of rest and 50s of work. How did everyone else do it?

So I did the Silent Killer WO http://www.bodyrock.tv/2011/09/27/silent-killer-workout/ this morning wearing my weighted vest at 35 lbs…my comments and reps are posted there if anyone cares to look.  Have a great day everyone.

Hi, I’m new here… and trying to get body to cooperate . Lol! It’s protesting! About how many calories do you burn doing the 12 minute exercises alone? With bonus Abs? And Bonus weighted cool down? My diet is the hardest to get in shape. I hate diets, I love to eat and I like exercise but haven’t done any for a while because of job, but trying to get it back to together. I calorie count which works for me but is there an easier way? I don’t eat much red meat anymore and am almost completely turkey, chicken and fish, lots of veggies, and water and mineral water. I’m from Florida and love my sweet tea and seafood, and even more so grits and pasta. Help if you can. Ps I love love love baked goods. Any suggestions?

Took yesterday off on account of the weather so today I was all fired up.  Warmed up with a good 45 minute run up and down the hill.
1.  frog/push ups:  5/5
2.  clean and press: 5/6 fumbled with the rhythm on the first try
3.  around the world: 8/9
4.  lunge/twist: 9/10 (using 10 lb dumbbell)
5.  elev push ups: 21/17
6.  abs on dip st: 13/14
I did the 2 rounds of jump rope hi knees in between: 55- 75 depending on my fumbles

Ab Bonus:  I set the timer for 18 Rounds 20/20, without rest interval.  Afterwards as I melted into  a soggy puddle I realized I had done 36 intervals non stop.  I did something like 90 planks to each side and 180 elev knee tucks.  Oh well…my abs are the most resistant to reforming!

Weighted (no time):
1.  shoulder press: 10 reps with 20 lb dumbells (each hand)
2.  bicep: 10 reps at 20 Lbs each
3.  up rows: 10 reps at 20 lbs each  
4.  triceps:  10 reps at 15 lbs each
5.  hammer: 10 reps at 20 lbs each
6.  flys: 10 reps at 10 lbs each

Now to see what happens when I try surfing later today, haha!Great workout, thanks so much!!

You do use your timer, but for intervals workouts, many of us write down how many reps we did in the previous round during the 10sec rest. The purpose is so that if you repeat the workout, you’ll be able to compare your performance.

I have this broken down on my blog, too. Follow this link, then scroll down to the section that says “How are the workouts done?”

I hope that helps!

hi shuku  just to let you know, you’re not an idiot.  you followed exactly what they said to do, 2 rounds of skipping beween each exercise!  it would take 16 min.  when they posted this workout in dec we told them this but for some reason they didn’t correct this when it was reposted.

Thank you for opening up like that to the world Lisa. I never thought I ever experienced emotional eating.. But I think my over-eating happenings might just be down to that – without me even realising it. :-/

Great workout indeed. What a wonderful sweat this was and a really great format to go back to, twice through each exercise to keep the whole workout fresh throughout. Thumbs up!
What is pretty awesome is that I improved my scores from December for this workout!! I’m chuffed to bits because I didn’t peak at my scores and didn’t really think I would do much better… Happy days! :) (OLD scores in brackets!) [Didn't count high knees! I swear the bottom of my trainers have teeth that keep grabbing the damn rope!]
Frog Jumps + Press up – 6-6  (5-5)
Clean + Press + Squat + Press w/ 14kgs – 5-5.5 (4-5 w/ 10kg)
Around The World + Squat w/ 14kg – 7-7 (5-6 w/ 10kg)
Switch Lunge + Twist w/ 14kg – 10-10 (9-8 w/ 10kg)
Elevated Pushups – 13-9 (12-9) [Couldn't keep elevated this time around.]
Oblique + Leg Lifts from Pullup Bar – 10-9 (9-10)

~Abs Bonus… Slightly confused so I did just 4 rounds of 20 on 20 on.
Plank Tucks – 16-17
Left Oblique Drop – 8-9
Plank Tucks – 16-18
Right Oblique – 9-8

Back + Chest Bonus
I timed one round of each exercise consisting of 12 reps. = 3:12.

Fantastic! Thank you very much! x

Right there with you Lisa…moved to Canada last year in Jan 2011 (with my Husband and kids too). Was the best descision we made for sure, thought i was ok but didn’t realise but before you know i’ve gained about 15lbs…too many cream cheese cinnamon rolls! Like you say needed the pick me up to filla hole i guess. But would eat maybe 2 at a time. This wasn’t everyday, but enough…kept it quiet as a guilty secret.
So last August started to try and work out again, with running, worked for a while but really it’s boring up to christmas time (for me anyway as used to be a sprinter and not used to runnign distances), then slipped on ice, twice! really hurt my coccyx and couldn’t do anything for a month!. Can’t afford to go to the gym, so started my fitness DVD again 3 times a week, in January, that got me so far, but again started to stagnate…thank goodness i’ve now found bodyrock! So started with the 30 day challenge from feb in middle March. Thank you for bringing this into my life….feel good and see slight changes happening already. Only lost 7lbs since august, but it’s the change in shape. More definition in the upper body and starting to loose my saddle bags on my waist, lifting my butt etc etc. Will post some pics soon, but really want to give it 3 months, and sweat hard and then show you guys.

So back to business….did this workout yesterday but forgot to post scores.

1) frog jump 3, 3
high knee, 70, 60
2) clean & press 4, 5
high knee 74, 54
3) Around the world, 5 1/2, 6
high knee 60, 50
4) lunge w/ sandbag 7, 8
high knee 60, 60
5) elevated push up (bent knee using stairs) 10, 12
high knee 65, 60
6) knee life, side to side, 9using pair of kitchen stools) 5 1/2, 5

ABS – these were tough so did following
1) elevated feet, knee ups, 30, 20
2) 1 round of oblique raises, 4, 4
then did the elevated knee ups again, and straight abs with a twist for the obliques 16

Weight – did 10 to 12 reps for all, using 5lb dumbbells, or both of these weights in a sandbag

felt real good, then had a skype call with a family member just as i had finished and was told i looked good and trim - made my day!
right onto tomorrows exercise now!

oooh, you were a bad girl again!  lol  (I’m joking!)  :)
