    Hey Zuzana,
    I started following you when you first started this website, and then went to Iraq.
    I noticed you’ve made alot of progress and am happy for your results!
    I myself work out often too, and love the progress I’ve made.
    Have you considered competing?

    Hey Zuzana,

    Thank you so much for uploading your fitness videos. They are great!!
    I have a problem. I have really thick Asian legs. I have been doing some leg work outs to get leaner legs, but I feel like my legs are getting thicker and muscular. I think I am cursed with thick legs! I want to wear a mini skirt one day!! I don’t know what to do. Would your leg exercise techniques make my legs thick too? What are some good leg work outs?
    Also, I have been going to the gym lately. What machines should I use in order to loose weight?? Are there any rules? I really want to loose weight.. I want to wear a bikini this summer!! lol Also, I am trying to work for the government, and it requires physical fitness. Please help!

    One more question. Does working out result smaller chest? (girls)

    Hi Hanna,

    To increase total bodyweight by losing fat and gaining muscle you have to follow the zig-zag method.

    Hi Zuzana!

    Do you typically use 5 pound dumbbells for most of your upper body muscles???

  • Zuzana – BodyRock.Tv

    Dear Maria,

    It all depends on certain muscle groups, exercises and intensity of the workouts. If I want to do workout that is really intensive (usually only once a week) I use heavy weight which for me is 20 pound dumbbell or 40 pound barbell if I am doing squats, lunges,bent over rows for my upper back, or dead lifts for my upper legs and lower back. When I do workout for muscle endurance, than I use medium weight which would be something between 8 – 15 pounds and finally when I do cardio workouts I use either just my body weight or light free weights usually up to 5 pounds. Everyone’s strength is different so weight that is medium for me could be very heavy for you or vice versa.

    Julia,
    Don’t be ashamed that you have “shapely” legs. More guys than you imagine like a girl to be in shape and not a stick figure!
    Running will burn off any extra fat. When was the last time you saw a serious runner with big bulky legs?

  • Eric

    How many sets and reps do you do for each one of these excersises?

    I found your site on google. I couldn’t agree more. Weight loss isn’t rocket science like some people would have you believe. It just takes some dedication and discipline. I will definately be back to check your site.
