Aaah push ups, something no one likes to talk about but something anyone interested in losing weight should know how to do properly. Once you have perfected the movements of the traditional push up, you can begin to do variations to target specific muscles or to avoid injury to other muscles. [Professional tennis players use their arms more than any other body part, making push ups essential to any tennis workout.] Most of us hate push ups because they remind us of how lacking we truly are in the strength department.

Seasonal Periodization - Setting Up A Program.
It's a good idea to focus on one particular goal for a period of time and then switch it up to another goal after a set period of time. I've put together a plan that will follow the seasons and help keep away the plateau! Read on for the details.BODYROCK.tv
Hi Bodyrockers, Freddy here. I wanted to share this very touching story that BodyRocker David sent me after reading my post of March 13th where I opened up to you guys about how my marriage ended. It just goes to show that many of us share similar challenges and experiences, and if we keep positive and support each other through the tough times life often delivers “happy accidents” that brings the love and joy back into our lives when we least expect it. I wanted to thank-you personally for opening-up and sharing your story with the Bodyrock community. Our stories are eerily similar…My wife also left me in late August after being married for 16 years (with 2 children 8 year old girl and 6 year old boy) and I have just recently learned that she was unfaithful to me, I had my suspicions but didn’t want to believe it.
Hi guys, Freddy here :) Today we are going back to an older routine because as some of you guys know, Zuzana is recovering from a root canal. She is on a cycle of antibiotics and is still in quite a bit of pain. It was our hope to at least introduce an older workout with a new video, but Zuzana was just not feeling up for it. We will be posting workouts for you guys all week, and hopefully we will be back with a new a video tomorrow :) In the meantime keep up with your training and enjoy today’s workout! This workout is exactly 12 minutes long and you will have to set your Interval Timer for 12 rounds and two intervals – the 10 second interval has to be the first one followed by the longer 50 second interval.
Dirty Bit Workout
Hi BodyRockers, This is our last night in our hotel :) We got the keys to our new house today, and tomorrow morning we will move in, which means that we will do a house tour as part of tomorrows post so check back for that if you guys are curious about what our new place looks like. Some of you guys have been following for so long that you have toured almost every house that we have lived in since starting BodyRock. Not counting some extended stays in hotels, we have lived in 8 different houses since since 2008. Wow.
Amazing Abs Workout
Hi BodyRockers, Freddy here – first of all happy Canada day to all of the BodyRockers on Team Canada :) As many of you guys know, I am Canadian so I will be raising a glass to the Maple Leaf today :) Thanks to everyone who wrote in and shared their thoughts on the pros and cons of having children. At last count there were over 600 heartfelt responses from BodyRockers, and it was especially cool to hear from so many dads on the subject. It seems like a lot of BodyRockers out there have strong opinions about this subject, and overall I felt like many different points of view were represented. Your comments sparked another conversation between Zuzana and I about our own plans, and we have decided that when the time comes we would like to investigate the option of adoption.

550 Rep Fat Massacre
Hi BodyRockers, Here is the last workout of this week. I did this workout for the very first time one year ago when we still lived in Malta. My personal best back then was 32 minutes and 46 seconds and I can proudly say that I have made progress because my time today was 23 minutes and 3 seconds.

Hi BodyRockers, So long story short… about 2 weeks ago Freddy lost his passport while walking around downtown Prague. This little “bump” has kept our travel and moving plans stalled and uncertain. The good news is that today his new passport arrived all the way from Canada so the final race has began.12 Week Beginner Walking Schedule
Consistency is key in creating a new habit, so be sure that you get something in at least 5 days a week. The starting day for this schedule may be changed to suit your needs. Just try to keep your easy and harder days in the same order. If you are particularly tired one week, don't increase your time... just stick with the last weeks schedule. It's ok to take a day off once a week or choose a day to crosstrain .
