Body Rock day 4 & 5

Okay okay, I kinda fell off the body rock trail! Thursday I thought a day off wouldn't hurt, right? WRONG! Mostly because the next day I felt even more lazy! Long story short, I body rocked on saturday and sunday(4/29/2012)- body rockin' in the house toniiight! (: And as a consequence of my laziness I will be body rocking for 7 days straight, which I actually don't mind because I am beginning to push myself more C:
Anyways, day 4 wasn't so awful, in reality I wasn't able to follow the feb. 30 day challenge day 4 so I did the day 4 from the 30 day challenge before that(same with day 3). The workout didn't feel too difficult(sign that I have to push more!). Although, I did sweat a lot, so I must have burned some fat. Afterwards I barely felt any soreness. I think that it is only my abs that are a little tender (when I laugh).
Just a little tidbit: I don't know if anyone else is noticing them about their arms, but I feel like mine are toning up a lot C: It's really funny because now I find myself flexing a little, haha
Even though day 4 felt easy it was day 5 that kicked my butt! I followed the feb. challenge and these were my scores: 10:14 minutes & seconds , high knees
[R1(round 1)-45, R2-71, R3-56, R4-71, R5-110, R6-50, R7-80, R8-80], and the cool down was 12:28 minutes and seconds (plus and additional set for 2:12!). I actually found myself breaking a lot and also having difficulty with the push ups ): (I'm gonna work on that) In the end I am more motivated to push myself more!
BTW I'm also doing yoga on the side so that might help with my results C:
Well, til tomorrow everybody!

BODY ROCK DAY 2 & 3

Okay! Friday was my second day of body rocking and then today, Monday April 23, was my third day (:
Friday morning I decided to do my body rock in the morning-to help with last times soreness. I don't think I did that much better ): but I sure was trying haha (: After the work out I got ready and left the house. I soon noticed some soreness in my arms and the back of my legs. At first it felt like no big deal, but I ended up taking a pain killer the next day to deal with it. Fortunately it was all gone by the evening and I was able to dance all night (prom) which was great! (:
This morning I woke up late so I ended doing body rock in the evening. This time I began the 30 day body rock challenge (DAY 1-my day 3. lol) http://www.bodyrock.tv/2012/02/06/february-30-day-challenge-fit-test/ . The fitness test wasn't difficult at first and then it got a little more difficult. My results ended up being 20 squat jumps, 11 push ups, 10 burpees, 40 high knees, 12 switch lunges, 17 tuck jumps, 8 tricep dips, and 11 straight abs. I know, I know, I am sooo athletic (; With the fitness test done, I am getting more and more excited for body rock C:

BODY ROCK DAY 1

Recently I did some semi training for a football game that was just for fun and suddenly I wanted to do more. I wanted to jump higher, run faster, be stronger, and (most of all) HEALTHIER. So when my sister was visiting yesterday and we got on the subject of Body Rock, I exploded with questions. Trying to learn as much as possible I asked questions like “how fast will I lose weight?”, “will it get boring?”, and the typical “Am I going to lose my curves?”. I'm not a trainer or anything so I can't really they are the same for everyone (or even that they are correct), but from what I gather the answers are simple.

1)Weight Loss-It's going to be different for everyone depending on many factors, one being age. Most likely the older you are the slower the results will be and the younger the faster.

2)The Challenge-with body it seems as though more and more are contributing videos. This would then create a living, breathing program, meaning that your body will never get used to it because there is always something new.

3)Curves-You can never isolated muscles to make them stronger. So when you work out you will lose fat EVERYWHERE. BUT you will keep your ratios and possibly gain a little more curves. I am not saying that you will definitely lose your chest and I am not saying that you will definitely gain a chest. What I mean is that your back muscles may get stronger causing a different appearance of a figure.(also not guaranteeing anything because genes are also involved)

With this and more I became excited to start Body Rock.

Now to give some background you should know that I have never really been athletic. I have always been scared of getting hit in sports so I never played. Also I started doing intermediate yoga not so long ago, but I am not too fit just thin/skinny. Of course, I didn't take this too much into account before my first body rock, that work out kicked my butt C: no joke, haha.

At first I was okay beginning one of the warm ups and then by the end of it I just kept thinking how out of shape I am. Seriously, just the warm up got me racing. Then I began the actual workout (studying the modifications first http://www.bodyrock.tv/2012/04/16/my-body-rocks-workout-beginner-tutorial-abs-bonus/ )and withing the first 2 minutes I swore I was going to die(lol). Don't get me wrong it was a great workout and all, but ohmygosh I had to stop a lot due to some slight nausea(drinking water just before might have been my downfall). Close to the end I was close to just ending it. Fortunately I didn't give up and just kept going. When it was all over I basically just fell onto a bed. Then after a few minutes of watching ABC's “Scandal” I went back and did the cool down. Thank goodness the video was basically some yoga moves- that I could handle (: Even though it took me a long time to finish I couldn't help but feel accomplished c:

So there it is you guys, my first experience with body rock. I laughed, I cried (mostly cried haha), and finished with a sense of accomplishment. For those also beginning this journey to a more fit body or those who are far into it, please feel free to leave comments (:
