    Love the idea of following the new posts! I do find myself looking at the old ones too though. Maybe we should post what we did and a little review of it. One thing for sure, we are ALL feeling the fatigue from these "10-15" minute workouts! Its sure not a Rachael Ray meal-- quick and easy. She is the opposite!!

    haha yea "10-15" minutes of PAIN!

    Sorry about the drive by post earlier. I was at the gym (DH was working so I stole his computer since work had no electric ALL day!) and signed in long enough to see what was up.

    I like the program mentality of the 6 weeks but there's a certain element of her changing it up constantly that makes bodyrock fun. Granted she's away now so not updating regularly but I just went through wrote down a week's worth of bodyrocks and have been using it as a guide.

    Does anyone else struggle with stubstituting for the dipstation? I can figure out a similar/modification exercise for the Ugi but she pulls that dipstation out and I'm like *kitten*!! LoL.

    She once mentioned you could use a walker (for old people) but unless you're hanging around a nursing home where in the heck are you supposed to find one? Lol let me know if you come up with anything, I'm stumped!

    :I think that would work for the hanging leg raises...as a mod. My kiddo has rings on his swing set I could always sprint out there to do reverse push ups! LoL.

    Alisha- Hanging out at nursing homes is my #2 fave Friday night activity. :tongue:

    Just completed this Booty Shaping workout it was a good one and I finally figured out how to set my Gymboss timer for all the rounds, etc and the workout when smooth as butter.

    Awesome job with not only the workout but figuring out that darn gymboss. I had one (before the kids hid it somewhere and can't find it!) and never could easily navigate it. DH has an Ipod touch I downloaded gymboss to and that takes a minute to put together but alot of the intervals are the same so I just save them and go back and forth.

    I got my BR in tonight, missed last 2 days though...needed arest and 1 turned in to 2 with being off from work...but I'm rested and ready to rock tomorrow at 5am.

    I found a tutorial on youtube on how to set the rounds and intervals, the directions that came with it weren't that easy to follow. I feel like a pro now with it :)

    Everyone at my parents would chime in with a YES because I've been stretching my legs like CRAZY! LoL. Monday was the 2 Body Rocks and that JM Ripped in 30. I'm going to attempt to do it again today because I took it light yesterday but we'll see. If I'm not feeling it when I get there I'll opt for the Bodyrocks vs. JM since I do have strength training tomorrow. She kills ya in that video.

    What does your "project swole" workout entail?

    @Mamareese - are you just starting the Ripped in 30? i was doing that one for months and loved it! Now that I've got the hang of the Bodyrock workouts and figured out how to use the Gymboss I am loving the workouts even more. I love the varietyy and that I can do one 12 min workout in the morning and choose another to do at night or whatever.

    Let me tell you this one I am paying for today. I wanted to get another one of her workouts in last night, but I started getting sore throughout the day yesterday so I ended up relaxing and getting a good night of sleep instead of getting up and working out at 4am I slept in till 5:30....woohoo I feel like a whole new woman, minus the soreness haha. Hoping tonight I can do a new one!

    I just started the Ripped in 30 on Monday. I'm doing it 3 times a week, opposite days of my regular strength training. I figured I only use 5lbs (or 10s with the lunges, etc) so it's light enough strength that it shouldn't interfere with the other days...we'll see. I picked it up because I'm giving up the gym membership so I wanted something to off set the weights that I do at the gym. I still do the bodyrocks on Ripped days though...need that extra circuit work!!

    @brenvt- That was is a killer! I've only tried it once when she first came out with it...I love that Pass Ball...DH and I did some ab work last night and I remembered this so I ran with it (lol).

    My bodyrock this AM was the Haven't Had Enough workout. At 5am, I forgot to look up a workout so that's the only one I could pull completely out of my memory. It was good enough for me after the strength training. I also did Cardio Legs & Core but as a set/reps instead of interval. I had some left in me but not enough to pump out another interval rounds!

    Not that I'm bored at work.....but new BR workout... here http://www.bodyrock.tv/2011/08/11/what-you-want-workout/


    Today’s workout is tough, but it’s only 12 minutes long. Think about it before you give up on today’s workout – just 12 minutes and torture is over :) The first part of this workout is 8 minutes long high intensity interval training and you will be doing two exercises back and forth. Set your interval timer for 16 rounds of 15 and 15 second intervals. Both intervals are your max. effort intervals and there is no rest interval in between, so you won’t have time to write down your reps. It’s ok, don’t count your reps just push yourself to the limit throughout the 8 minutes. The exercises are:

    1. Beep! Ugi Climber (15 second interval)

    2. Beep! Ugi Jump Squat (15 second interval)

    I am using my fit ball because it gives me better workout, however you can still get amazing training even just with your own bodyweight.

    Take a sip of water and move directly to the second part of the workout.

    The second part of this workout is 4 minutes long. Set your timer to count down the 4 minutes for you. You will be doing the following exercises and your goal is to complete maximum sets:

    1.Sumo Squat & Knee Tuck – 10 reps

    2.One Leg Ugi Squat – 5 reps on left leg

    3.One Leg Ugi Squat – 5 reps on right leg

    I completed 4 rounds of this circuit during the 4 minutes.

    Enjoy your training and now some Burpees for Erin! :)

    Strength training @ 30 minutes, 1 body rock (Gunz & Bunz -http://www.bodyrock.tv/2009/11/30/guns-and-buns-workout/), and a circuit that I found on toneitup.com. DH thinks my eclectic workouts from heavy weights to the TIU girls is amusing but hey...I don't care how the booty gets worked as long as the HR is up and I'm sweating! :tongue:

    Completed the "What You Want" workout at 6 this morning and was aching by 10:30!!! The one legged squats were killer!! I can lift one leg about 8 inches from the ground (bended slightly at the knee) and squat to about a 140 degree angle (Zuzana’s ankle touches her *kitten*!) Well I guess I could bend down that far too but I would never be able to lift myself back up!! LOL

    My burn for this workout was 175 for 15 minutes. I wish I could burn more during these workouts (seeing as I am practically DYING!) However, I usually burn roughly 10 cals per minute exercising anyway, so I guess its still good...

    Look what I found?! It helps if you, or someone you know, is handy. I wonder if this would be cheaper than finding & buying one...
