| I mean, HELLO! Who wouldn't love abs like these?! |
HOWEVER, I did not want to do this alone. Along with one of my sisters and a few virtual "friends" I created a PRIVATE "Group" on facebook so we could share tips, experiences, etc. At first glance, the actual BR website is a bit hard to navigate. It is fair to say, that since it is a "free" service, they have to throw up some adds to help the cause. However, this can be extremely intimidating for a "newbie". Because of this, I have started posting a link to daily BR workout videos, a list of equipment needed and the exercises for each video (copied directly from the BR site). This has really helped all of us in the group streamline our experience with BR. We have about 10 members and approx. 4 of us have done them every day since the beginning. So far, so good.
I am not bored or dreading exercising yet. I have not skipped a day (yet). Who says working out can't be fun AND fast? Seriously, I am sore, sweaty and tired after every workout. In less than 20 minutes?? Yes, please!
Most of us have taken "Before" pics and plan on posting them with our "after" photos every 30 days. I am on day 9 and I swear to you I can SEE and FEEL a difference! No, I am not showing you my pictures just yet.....
I have searched the web for all things BodyRock. Many people find innovative and interesting ways to "create" substitutes for the equipment BR recommends. I personally, have the Dip Station and Sand Bag they use (borrowed from my super in shape sister).

| Dip Station |

| Sandbag (mine is pink). |
The most common questions I have seen in discussion forums, on blogs and websites regarding BodyRock's workouts are, "Where do I start?" AND "What workouts do you do?"
Here you go....
