Core Workout 4: Chest, Back, Butt, Abs, Hamstrings…

Posted by Zuzana - BodyRock.Tv | In All Videos, Featured Articles

This exercise almost works the whole body, and I have 3 great variations you can try in this episode. I am using 5 pound plates from my bar, but you can use dumbells. Don’t count reps – I have sort of stopped counting reps when I workout now. I keep going till I hit failure (till I can’t do another rep). Doing 12 reps of an exercise then stopping just because you have done 12 could mean that you are missing the reps that will really make the difference in building the muscle that will burn the fat and change the way your body looks. Pushing through and doing 13-14-15 reps (or however many it takes to hit failure) will guarantee much better workouts and much more noticeable results – so stop counting.

Best,

Zuzana

    Hi Zuzana,

    I was wondering if you also recommend hot yoga (bikram yoga) for a good core workout. I’m 23 years old and I’m pretty active, but I’m looking to get more toned and lose some weight (maybe 10 lbs.)

    Thank you! I appreciate your advice!
    Rola :)

    Hi Rola, I really like Bikram yoga and I think it is great way to relax and great stretching for your muscles. I believe that it is also an amazing detox, so it’s great if you can incorporate Bikram yoga into your program but by itself it is not an efficient way to loose fat and get toned body.

    Hi Zuzana

    Firstly, thank you for all your time and efforts to share your wisdom and experience with us and on top of that to maintain this site for the rest of us to continue to follow your example. As everyone has mentioned to you before, you truly are an inspiration and you have inspired me to become and do better!!
    I am currently busy with your Core Workout and am now on Core Workout 4. But the video seems to be missing above. If it’s not too much trouble, won’t you please reload it for me.
    I see you’ve had some requests already, I hope it’s still possible. Otherwise I suppose I can just continue with core workout 5 and skip 4?
    Before I go, thank you again Zuzana, it’s not often that we internet users get free advise from professionals like yourself. you really are a great help to us all :) Thanks
