Day 1 of Bodyrock.tv

Alright, so I'm totally biting off a friend on this one, but she inspired me to start my own fitness blog.  I have been working out seriously for about the past year.  I have always been "strong" but never toned, and when I went over 200 pounds, I knew something had to give.  There is this great class at my gym that I have been doing called PT55.  Personal Training (in a group setting) for 55 minutes.  It's a circuit training class that changes every month, but keeps the same routine all month so you can see where you've improved.  Well this month the class is just depressing.  It's more cardio than strength training and that just depressed me.  I hate jumping, I have no endurance, and if you ask me to do more than one thing at once, I either fall over or give you a look that will melt your face off. 

So I've been following my friends gym blog because I am oh-so proud of her for making a choice to be a healthier her.  I have been eating great and working out, but ever since this abhorrent new routine this month, I haven't been back to the gym.   This friend of mine does bodyrock.tv, and after watching a few videos I thought it would be a great idea to try it out.  I mean, c'mon, it's free, you can do it from home, and it looked like it kicked ass.  So tonight I tried it, and holy-hell, I am as sore as I am when I spend an hour at the gym doing my own thing.  I do believe I will be sticking with this for a while.  And just to prove it to all of you out there not reading this, I'm going to keep track of every routine I've done and what my scores were!

Tonight I did the "Booty Shaping Workout"


I had to do the modified versions of the workouts because I don't have a sandbag, and I'm a sissy.  So rub it in.

My Scores:
Beginner Push-up-8 7 8 8 8 8
Bag-less Squat/Push Kick-11 11 11 11 11 11
Beginner Knee Grab-10 10 10 10 10 10


Now, my triceps are burning.  I haven't felt them burn since I started working out.
