Good morning everybody!!
Just jumped out of bed and directly into my workout! Here's my scores:
Week 3 Day 3:
1/2 Burpee, Star Jump, 1/2 Burpee 17/18/16
5 Pushups + 5 Triceps dips 2/2/2.5
Sumo Knee Touch + Front Raise 7/10/10
Wide Leg Touch Toe Abs 12/11/11
I was sweating a lot today, but had the feeling it was more strength orientated today, wasn't it? Your opinions?0 -
I just did the fit test today. So I am very new to body rock! I am hoping it will help me drop my last 10 lbs to get to my first goal!0

1) 1/2 Burpee, Star Jump, Burpee - 11/12/13
2) 5 knee Push Ups & 5 Tricep Dips - 2/1/1

I would agree it was more strength today, still a lot of co-ordination involved! My poor left hip clicking away during the sumo squats.0 -

Hi there! how did you find it?
I started at the beginning of may I have a way to go to get to my goal yet but feel like bodyrock is taking mre in the right direction!
I love that I can do it at home and it doesn't take very long so I can easily fit it into my day : )
Good luck0 -

Couplet 1:
1. Towel Plank Drag & Push-Up - knees for push-up - 6/6

I still have problems doing those abs exercises though... cannot keep my lower back on the floor.. does that mean I have to do the alternative and lighter version then?? (I did anyway in the end)0 -

I did like this workout, I like the strength over cardio.
I struggled with the abs to start with, I stuck with what I could do, but then last week I just tried getting right up - took lots of effort - feet coming off the floor, arms out in front - not a fluid movement like they make it look!!
I think the abs flow routine helped as well from wk2 d5 as I found with the 2nd posture I could go down easier than I could come up.
I guess I would say I 'forced' myself to do it & now it seems easier.0 -

Yes it is, i'm also finding that just doing 100 reps of whatever i want is building up more of a sweat for me than their workouts now, i done 300 reps thursday - 60 of which were stepping up on a chair (exactly how lisa steps up on the box/table during one of her workouts) and i could barely walk yesterday! My thighs were killing me, not been losing weight though but i blame that on my food choices :ohwell:0 -
