Cher - Month 2, now the fun begins :)

OK - so in this past month I have been sick twice and completely changed my life (career wise) - I would say that is enough for one month, wouldn't you?

So now is the time to eliminate drama, and kick ass!  Last night was the 1st night that I wasn't all stuffed up and snotty - so today is the 1st day of my next 30 day challenge!

What am I doing for said challenge?  Well I don't have a personal trainer (because I am one), but sometimes you just need to change things up.  I did my fit test on Bodyrock.tv's website.  It was pretty basic but gives me a baseline to see my improvements.  I will do my measurements today too (scary for everyone!).

If you are interested in doing this fit test or following me on my journey, stay tuned here - I will give you assistance along the way.  Note - I am doing a variety of workouts, not just Bodyrock - they are quick and effective (with modifications) so I do like to use them frequently.

Catch y'all soon!

OH AND WE HIT 2000 VIEWS!  Thank you for the support!

Cher - Day 18 - Bodyrock'n

So today I went back to check out Bodyrock.tv's newest workout.  What is nice is that they offered 3 variations of their workouts today - Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.  I did a little of all 3! :)  Because of my MVA I also added my physio exercises to my intervals - got everything in!

It's true - you don't need their equipment to make it work.  Because I am a trainer it's easy for me to modify using free weights, body weight or bands.  Some people are not sure what to use - Bodyrock is now telling you the various options you have... and it's all free! 

Check out the workouts I took from today:

And Lastly:

Have a great workout weekend you guys! 

Don't push through injuries....

Injuries suck!  My MVA has been plaguing me from the start.  So I had high hopes for today (as I confessed earlier) - Cardio & Weights.  My workout went as follows:

Equipment: Band & Ball
Location: Home

I started with some shadow boxing - jabs, combos etc for 20 minutes - started getting a good sweat on, but I felt a little twinge between my shoulder blades....so listening to my physio (and my) advice, i stopped.  Weights at this point, maybe not such a good plan.  Physio exercises for the day - good plan.  I went through my movements (which are still tough because I haven't been able to train since June) and finished with my stretches.  I think I am good for today.  I have an outdoor workout with my training partner tomorrow so I want to be able to complete it :)


Training with injuries is not ideal, but working within my limits allows me to still feel like I am training however making my body an even better specimen - It knows how to heal itself, and doing my recommended stretches/exercises is the only way to make it happen.

Quote for today:

Have an awesome weekend!
