Today is my final workout of the Rocktober challenge. Week 4 started for me last Tuesday and I finished my 3rd workout of week 4 today.  The exercises for this past week of the challenge were tough.   Especially the push up jacks and the side plank with the hip dip and leg pull in.

I am also including my week 3 in this post as I was unable to blog about it last week.  I had my parents visiting and my kids were also out of school for a few extra days for a little fall break.  Life seems to get in the way of blogging sometimes for me.   Week 3 was also challenging and I really enjoyed some of the exercises from that week.

Below are the photos from weeks 3 and 4.  I did not have time to do collages for week 4 so  I have just included some single photos of some of the exercises from that week.

I really enjoyed being a part of this challenge group on the Betty Rocker group page through facebook.  Lots of great and interesting people who participated in this challenge from all over the world.  The workouts were something different from my normal dvd’s and books I use.  I also really have noticed more definition in my arms, abs and back after completing this 4 week challenge.   I was also working out with my Cathe Friedrich dvd’s on the days I was not using the Rocktober workouts and doing yoga on the weekend.  I try and workout 6 to 7 days per week for 25 to 45 minutes per workout – depending on my time available and the workout I have planned.  I believe the key to success with any workout program is your commitment and then planning a time and place to do the workout and following through.  The end results are worth the time you invest – not just to be physically more fit but to have better overall health, more energy, and confidence.

Now that Rocktober is over I will be continuing the use of my Cathe dvd’s and doing a little more yoga.  I will keep you updated on my future workouts.  I am also planning to review a new yoga book I have been using for a few weeks now.  Please subscribe via bloglovin, email, or RSS feed by clicking on any of those icons in the sidebar to stay updated.
