    HI Zuzana! I just started exercising again (I tend to get lazy during these winter months in Canada!) and I can’t thank you and the ppl at bodyrock TV enough for motivating me to get into shape! You really are an inspiration and this time I’m doing this FOR REAL! I really want to change my body, my lower body especially becuase I have very large hips and thighs and a big butt(I don’t mind my butt though, mostly my hips and thighs) My hips are 41 inches!!!! This is HUGE, but luckily I have a small waist, the problem is I think I look too disproportionate!

    I know I need to do squats and lunges, but I’m hesitant that I will just be building muscle on top of my already large legs and making them bigger instead of smaller!

    Should I be doing more cardio (i.e running on treadmill) so that I get the fat off, and then squats to tone? What do you suggest, because I’m really frustrated with my big, jiggly thighs!!!!!!

  • Jason G

    Why aren’t you using your barbell for the deadlift?

  • Elena

    Hi Zuzana

    Just found your site this week. You are so inspiring. I am just a beginner and was wondering, after watching the videos, can you post your total list of equipment you use or reccommend. I want to be able to follow and perform all of your videos if possible. Except I might wait on the the dancing pole work!

    Hi JiggleJiggle,

    Many girls are worried that they will get big from lifting weights – this is a myth. If you want a big, fast and permanent change you have to lift like a guy. Women don’t have enough testosterone to get big from lifting weights like guys. Instead, you will become leaner and get nice and toned body. If you have a problem with cellulite, than you have one more reason to lift weights.
    Best,
    Zuzana.

  • Zuzana – BodyRock.Tv

    Hi Elena,

    I will do that ;)
    Best,
    Zuzana.

    Hi Jason,

    this is a variation that I like.
    Best,
    Zuzana.

  • Zuzana – BodyRock.Tv

    Hi Smarty,

    I need more info. You are a boy right? :) silly question but I really can’t tell from your nick name. I suppose tho because girls are usually not interested in getting bigger biceps :)
    Could you describe just shortly how did your weight training look like for the past year? How often did you train? How old are you?

  • Pavla

    Ahoj Zuzko, musim ti rict, ze jsi super, mas perfektni napady a perfektni cviky. Predcvicuji ve sportovnim centru v Indianapolis a velmi mi pomohlo, jak u toho mluvis anglicky, protoze jsi mi pomohla naucit vyrazy pro ruzne cviky a taky jsi me hodne inspirovala. Holt je videt, ze jsi velmi sikovna. Takze moc ti fandim a jen tak dal…klobouk dolu pred tebou…jsi 1

  • Zuzana – BodyRock.Tv

    Ahoj Pavlo,

    dekuju za hezkou zpravu, jak jsi nasla moje stranky?

  • Pavla

    ahoj Zuzko, az ted jsem si precetla odpoved, ikdyz se divam na tvy stranky porad. Cvicim tady bootcamp, takze jsem zadala do google bootcamp cviky nebo bootcamp exercise a vyjeli jste mi na prvni strance a kdyz jsem to otevrela, tak me to hodne nadchlo. Je to idealni napad, videa jsou zdarma, je to velmi inspirujici a opet rikam, pro mou anglictinu velmi poucne, protoze diky tomu, ze mluvis s ceskym prizvukem, tak ti velmi dobre rozumim. Pracuji v LA fitness, to je retezec sportovnich center po cele USA a Kanade, zminila jsem se uz o vasem webu v centru. Preji moc a moc reklamy a tobe moc a moc energie. Jsi 1 a tady by jsi byla naprosta kralovna.

  • Zuzana – BodyRock.Tv

    Ahoj Pavlo,

    moc dekuju, jsem rada ze se stranky libi a budu se snazit je neustale vylepsovat. Myslis ze by stalo za to udelat ceskou verzi bodyrocku? Ja nad tim ted dost premyslim a vzhledem k tomu ze na videich stejne vic makam nez mluvim tak by se jednalo spis o ceskou verzi vsech psanych clanku. Uvidime. Jsem rada ze jsi mi napsala, takovej hezkej komentar vzdycky potesi. Mej se krasne.
    Zuzana.

  • Pavla

    ahoj Zuzko,

    ja si myslim, ze 100% jdi do toho a rozjed to stejne u nas, uvidis, bude to chvilku trvat, ale lidi si to reknou mezi sebou a to je nejlepsi reklama, urcite do toho jdi. Mas perfektni postavu, jsi velmi inspirujici a kdyz se vam podarilo rozjet stranky v anglictine a sehnat reklamy, uvidis, ze se vam bude darit i u nas v CR. Jen to bude chvilku trvat, zacatky jsou vsude pomalejsi a tezsi. Ale muj nazor je takovy, ze jsem neco podobneho, co delate vy, opravdy nevidela. Je to proste skvely napad.Drzim pesticky….Pavla

  • Pavla

    a jeste kdyz tak o tom premyslim, tak je pravda, ze ceske firmy jsou porad pozadu oproti americkym, myslim v reklame na netu, ale zacala bych asi oslovovat firmy, ktere se zabyvaji prodejem zdrave vyzivy, mysli tycinky, cerealie, sportovni nacini, sportovni obleceni….to mi jen tak slo hlavou. Kazdopadne vyhodou CR je, ze je to mala zemicka, takze si to tam lidi hodne rychle reknou mezi sebou. Tak jeste jednou drzim pesticky a jdu se mrknout na nove video bootcampu, uz se tesim, v tydnu do zaradim do sve hodiny, tak lidi vyplivnou dusi:-]. Mej se hezky. Pavla

    the video is no longer available ..whyyy??

  • Zuzana – BodyRock.Tv

    I checked the video and there doesn’t seem to be any problem with it.

    Hi Zuzana!

    I really like your videos, and I want to know what can I do to burn fat in the middle area and I don’t have gluts at all, so are this
    exercises for that area?

    The other question is Where are you from?,..your English is amazing congratulations on that!,..you are helping learn some terms in English I didn’t know.

    Thank you,

    My

  • Zuzana – BodyRock.Tv

    Hi, you can’t burn fat from a particular area by doing exercises for that part of your body. You have to work all of your muscle groups. Squats are the best for toning your glutes.

  • Mel

    Hi Zuzana,
    I am a huge fan of your videos!!! I am a champion Irish dancer and I’m trying to cross train so I don’t damage any more joints than I already have, but I don’t know any exercises that target the inner part of the leg, do you have any suggestions? My kind of dancing works nearly everything but the inner leg, so those muscles aren’t nearly what they should be and it looks out of proportion.

    Thanks!
    Mel

    Ahoj Zuzko,
    hledala jsem opět na internetu inspiraci na nové cviky do hodin fitbiku, který předcvičuji už 4. rokem a velmi mě zaujala tvá videa na youtube. Zuzana mi znělo moc evropsky a tak jsem pátrala až se dostala na bodyrock.tv. Některé tvé cviky mě velmi inspirovaly a už jsem je zařadila i do svého tréninku. Skoro 4 roky závodím ve fitness. Takže stále hledám nové a nové cviky. Musím říct, že u této stránky nezůstanu jen chvíli. Jinak Ti přeji hezký den a hodně úspěchů. Ahoooj!!

    Wow you look great!

  • vanessa tan

    Hi, I have watched your video and I am impressed with your workout.

    May I know which workout would you recommend if I wish to reduce the
    fats around my tummy and waist?

    thanks

  • raz

    Dear Zuzana,

    I have been following closely to your website and exercise clip for over months and quite frankly being a fitness addict, I am very impressed with your work and contributions for the species like us,.. I have bought GYMBOSS timer like yours and starting to benefit the 20 minutes interval cardio workout that you have demonstrated. I have done few and its killing me but the result is totally amazing.

    My question is… can i do this workout everyday? and I realise that all of this cardio exercises are focusing on the lower part of the body. Can i creatively add another 4 different exercises using the same Tabata Protocol (20 / 10 exercise interval for 8set) that focuses on upper body development ie. bicep, tricep, back and shoulders .. Having this fusion I will have 9 different exercise (adding the initial 5 of your) and for over 36 minutes of back to back exercise?

    Is this advisable or I am just dreaming?

    Many thanks and take care..
    Raz

    Hey Zuzana, I realize this is a little off topic, but I wasn’t sure where to post it. I live Up North, and winter is coming, so I was curious if you had any take on snow shoveling as a seasonal exercise.

    A fair number of heart attacks are attributed to shoveling driveways and the like because of how quickly the action gets your heart rate high and keeps it there as long as you keep shoveling.

    I don’t know how much time you’ve spent doing this sort of thing and maybe it falls outside your typical area of workout for its own sake, but if you felt like looking into it I would be interested to see what you come up with.

    thanks

  • qianhui

    does bench press and other weight training that work on the chest/boobs make them small?? Coz it does burn the fats ard it right? I can’t find the ans from the net, all these boobs getting small replies are heard from ppl.

    Hello amazing ZUZANA!

    I’m a stay at home mom and wife and I find it so difficult to get motivated since I feel so tired most of the time. But, after finding your website and seeing your hard work show through your fit body…well, that’s inspirational! Thank you, and I hope to not lose my motivation to finally be toned by swim suit season and beyond!! I will “just do it”, with your awesome site.

    Happiness and Health to you,
    Heather

    Zuzana, my lower back tends to ache after I do a few of these deadlifts. What can I do to fix that? :/

  • Paola

    Hi Suzana,
    I have been training to hard for about a year and a half using heavy weights but I am still waiting to see any change in my body. I am a thin woman. I am 5.6 inches and I weight 110 pounds but i dont get tone yet and my muscles are still small. I train 5 days a week and trying to change my routine every 4 weeks.
    What can I do or how can I train to see my body like yours.
    Thank you
    Paola

    I really needed some exercises like that!
    Unfortunately, when you don’t have enough time to go to the gym to work out, it makes problems. I guess if you started you need everyday stimulation.
