Bodyrock.tv: I'm Crazy But You Like It Exercise Challenge 2

So after 3 days of whacked sleeping and eating pattern, sadly I didn't beat my PR for this challenge today.

I completed 54 reps this morning (old: 65 reps) and then did 10 burpees of the day.

Bodyrock.tv: Ab-Tastic Exercise Challenge 3

Today I did Ab-tastic Exercise Challenge, which I did in April & in January.

Unlike the previous 2, this time I actually did the hanging knee raises from a dip station, which made it more challenging than doing ab workout on the floor.

Repeat this circuit 5 times: (each bracket represents each round)
20 Hanging Knee Raises from a dip station / pull up bar
41 sec / 48 sec / 46 sec / 43 sec / 39 sec

4 min interval skipping (10 off/20 on for 8 rounds)
44-52-44-45-39-44-37-47
46-49-43-44-33-38-36-34
49-45-44-42-49-49-44-31
54-40-38-45-43-44-39-48

Total workout time today: 23:39 (old 2: 28:25 // old 1: 25:20)

Extras: 5 Burpees

Bodyrock.tv: 100 reps Super Girl Planks Exercise Challenge -3

I did this in: 3:50 (old 2: 4:38 // old 1: 5:04)

Yay, I beat my old PR! Next time my goal is to finish it under 3 minutes or 2 minutes! :D

10 sec off/30 sec on for 6 rounds Double Unders 4 minute interval training


10 Burpees for Erin

That's it for the day!

Can you tell I'm super glad that I beat ALL my old PRs? And yes that includes the high knees skips because last time I couldn't even whip a single one!

Bodyrock.tv: Dead Man Burpee Challenge

A workout challenge from Zuzana: try to complete 100 burpees within 10 minutes. Watch the video for the proper form.



I completed 92 reps. So darn close!! But I gotta give myself credit for doing this challenge in empty stomach and no dinner the night before. Plus my buns and thighs were still sore from the unassisted one leg squat that I've been practicing lately.

Bodyrock.tv: 10 minute Burpee Reptile Exercise Challenge

Do as many Burpee reptile as possible within 10 minute countdown.

I did 88 reps.

Bodyrock.tv: 300 reps Squats Exercise Challenge

After a long workout 3 days in a row, I was yearning a shorter one for today, so I chose to do 300 Reps Squats Exercise Challenge.

I finished it in 14:02. I broke it into 15 sets of 20 reps to ease up the challenge a bit. My legs were surely jello afterward.

Bodyrock.tv: 500 jump rope jacks exercise challenge

Ok it supposedly 1000 jump rope jack exercise challenge, but with my 1-1.5lbs weighted jump rope, I was glad I could reach up to 500, even though I struggled A LOT. It took me 13:25.

Last time I did 1000 jump rope jack back in December, it took me entire 29:13 to finish off the whole thing. And that time I didn't put any weights inside the jump rope handles.

Bodyrock.tv: 60 Get Ups Exercise Challenge

Happy Birthday to...ME and the first thing I did to reward myself was to do today's exercise challenge. The last time I did this was back in December and I was such a sissy for using one 8lbs dumbbell.

So today, I decided to challenge myself by using my 15lbs backpack, despite my abs/core is super SORE from yesterday's workout.

I finished this challenge in 10:40 - beat my old time despite using heavier weight. Yippe! A nice birthday gift for myself :D

Bodyrock.tv: On the Floor Abs Exercise Challenge

This workout challenge was from Saturday, which I should do yesterday but I decided to take a day off completely. The first time I did this challenge was back in February, but I realized I didn't do the toe touch correctly.

So today's workout breakdown:

In 10 minutes do as may sets as possible for each exercise below:
20 reps mountain climbers - 6 sets
20 reps toe touch - 5 sets + 5 reps

This time I did leg raise and toe touch for every reps, instead just toe touches.

Exercise Challenge: 12 minute Reverse Push Ups

Instead doing Zuzana's Pull Ups Exercise Challenge, today I opted to do my own: 12 minute a set of 5 reverse push ups.

Workout breakdown:

Set the timer for 12 minute countdown and do as many sets of reverse push ups as possible (1 set = 5 reps)

I completed 20 sets + 4 reverse push ups (total 104 reverse push ups)

Bodyrock.tv: Ab-tastic Exercise Challenge

Finally I caught up on Zuzana's workout schedule for this week. However, seems like I'll have to pick up some of her older archive for tomorrow's workout since I didn't see the new workout schedule posted yet.

Today I did Ab-tastic Exercise Challenge, which we did a while back in January.

Workout breakdown:

Repeat this circuit 5 times.

20 reps of Hanging Knee Raises (from pull up bar/dip station) or Leg Raises (laying on the back on the exercise mat)  P90X Ab Ripper X move: The V Up Roll ups, which look something like this:

Everytime I reach up to a V, that count as 1 rep

4 minute interval skipping (10 sec off /20 sec on for 8 rounds)

Total workout time today: 28:25.

Bodyrock.tv: 60 reps Side Burpees (30 reps each side)

I was this close to skip the exercise challenge, which technically for yesterday. But I already took a day off yesterday so no excuse.

I beat my old time and finished it today in 6:31!

Bodyrock.tv: Hot Curves Bodyweight Exercise Challenge - Beating old record

This coming week, Zuzana would be redoing all her older workouts - partly because her husband is out of town so no one would be able to video her.

Anyway today's challenge was one from back in January.
Workout breakdown:
Set the timer for 10 minutes countdown and do as many set of:
2 jump forward or back (wide stance, half squat)
10 high sumo knees
Drop down then power up



Today I did 55 reps (old record 45 reps) and proceeded to 20 minute interval skipping (15 sec off/45 sec on for 20 rounds). I really need to work on my skipping endurance so I won't have to trip/stop during 45 sec of work. My upper body back was so sore from yesterday's seated pull ups.

Bodyrock.tv: Capoeira Crab Exercise Challenge (Just Can't Get Enough)

Today's exercise challenge was a bit different from before. Zuzana mentioned she's been taking capoeira class and this move was one of them. It's hard to explain in word so instead just watch her video to see how to do it.


Do 60 reps as fast as possible.

I had to watch the video a couple of times, asked my hubby to see it and explain it to me how to do it before I finally got a hang on it.

I finished this challenge in 13:10.

It looks innocent, but I felt the burn on my thighs a lot and by the end of the challenge, I was sweating like I've just finished an interval workout.

Self 12 minute Exercise Challenge

Zuzana didn't post up her new workout last night and I planned to do one of her older workout which I've never tried before: Banging Body Workout.

But because of the Daylight Saving Time, I couldn't manage to get up at 4:30am (which was technically 3:30am) so I just improvised 12 minute exercise challenge before dinner.

2 minutes squats - 60 reps (this was when I was cooking dinner)

10 minutes burpee - did 84 reps total.

Felt good to sweat a bit. Call me an exercise nerd, but I felt like having ants in the pants if I didn't do ANY workout just for A DAY. Go figure.

Bodyrock.tv: Breakdance Knee Tuck Exercise Challenge

Today was another exercise challenge: Breakdance Knee Tuck which only took 10 minutes. The main thing here was to focus on proper form rather than pumping up the reps.


I tried my best to push as low as possible, though not as low as Zuzana and hold the position for at least 2 seconds. The key here is to go slow..otherwise might hurt the shoulders or twist the wrists.

Although this exercise moved pretty slow, I still got some good sweats.

I completed about 35 reps and I did 2 sets of 20 push ups afterward.

Bodyrock.tv: Pretty Fly Exercise Challenge

Super short 10 minute challenge.

Do as many sets of:
30 reps high knees jump rope
10 reps knee hugs

I did 12 sets.

Bodyrock.tv: Hit Your Butt Exercise Challenge

So after yesterday's super long day and not so good food (read: non Primal/Paleo style), I hit today's exercise challenge.

There's no time limit for this as we could split up the challenge throughout the entire day (except the skipping part). For the first 10 sets I split up from morning to afternoon, and did the rest in the evening after the jump rope.

Workout breakdown:

30 sets of One Leg Half Squat - each leg
1 set = 5 pulses of one leg half squat

20 minutes interval skipping (10 sec off/ 20 sec on for 40 rounds)

60 reps of High Knee Get Ups Exercise Challenge

First time did this in December.

Workout breakdown:
Run in place with high knees for 10 times then drop down. When the chest and the belly touch the exercise mat, power up to a standing position. That's 1 round.
Do these for 60 rounds as fast as possible.

My time: 7:43 (old: 8:57)
