New Rock Your Body Workout 2: Chest Press

This is the second part of the new Rock your body workout which targets your chest. You will be doing 3 sets of 40 reps again and change the movement of the exercise slightly every 10 reps. The fist ten reps will be a standard chest press at a normal pace, the next 10 reps you will be alternating your arms pumping slowly up and fast down. The next ten reps you will press up fast with both arms and bring them slowly down, and the last ten reps you will be pumping only half way up and all the way down.  Take a very short break between each set. Try to keep the break under 1 minute. For this exercise you should be using lighter weights than you would use for the deadlifts. I am using 8pound dumbbels.

Best,

Zuzana.

    Thanks Zuzana for the tips. I discovered you yesterday off of youtube. Keep it up. I will try you cartio/ab routine tomorrow for my cardio day. you need to put out a free dvd download with like some of you best and make a order dvd with even more features. I like your vids because there is no soft music in the background. It is raw and hard breathing like what a real workout sounds like. Nice work

    Hi, Zuzana. Thank you for providing these free workouts– they never fail to motivate me! You obviously have an amazing body, and I’m wondering when you started working out (how long it’s taken you to get into your current shape?) I’m also curious as to what your shape was when you started working out…

    Thanks!

    Alisha

    Hi Jesse, thanks for the nice comment.

  • Charles

    Zuzana,does it matter, if you start out with the one arm chest movements?

  • Lance

    Zuzana,

    I know this may sound like a strange question, but I am an artist so visuals matter a lot to me. :)

    Would you mind telling me what type of camera you are using to shoot your videos… and if you use any special lights?

    Your dedication to quality shows in all aspects: visuals, content, and your ability to make hard work fun!

  • The Captain

    Thank you Zuzana for the tips. I discovered your stuff on youtube like 2 days ago. I like the jog in place 50 steps then leg kicks for cardio. I will try that one day. I myself have been lifting for like a year now and I need new workouts to challenge my muscles even more. I subscribed to your channel on youtube also so I can be kept up to date with your vids. I think you should make a free dvd download also so I can play it on tv and workout also and show the vids to women who want to get fit also.

    Again thanks.

  • Mike

    Great site and instruction, Zuzana!
    Would you explain why you do 3 sets of 40 rather than 3 sets of, say 10 with greater weight?
    Also, has your diet changed (more fruit and veggies?) since you last posted the diet video?
    Thanks!

    Hi Zuzana,

    I have left a question but i can’t find it,so i ask again :)
    I will be going on holiday for two weeks and i won’t be able to use jym or do my weight training.Can u give me some advice please,on how i can keep myself in shape for those two weeks..Many many thanks

  • Zuzana – BodyRock.Tv

    Hi Helen you can easily keep yourself in shape just with body weight workouts. That’s what I was basically doing the whole summer last year and it was great. You can check out this bodyweight workout for example. You can get really creative and put together really amazing routines. Don’t worry about not having any equipment.

  • Mike

    Hi Zuzana,
    Could you please explain why you choose 3 sets of 40 rather than 3 sets of, say 10 with greater weight?
    Also, has your diet changed (more fruit and veggies?) since you last posted the diet video? Whatever you’re doing seems to be working.
    Thank you

    I found great improvement of my muscles when i did only those two exercises in my routine, in the final of the sets my muscle seems very very rigid! Just what i wanted because i´m kinda strong, but my arms are not much rigid, and i could neer get rid of that! i´m sure that with those exercises i´ll be able to get what i´m looking for. I´m still doing strenght series, but those ones are killing exercises!! great routine!!!
    Thanks for being a really good motivation!!! =]

  • Zuzana – BodyRock.Tv

    HI Charles, it doesn’t matter which movement you start with.

  • http://bodyrock.tv Helen

    Hi Zuzana,

    Thank you for your advice,i will definitely use bodyweight workout.

    You are big inspiration to me,and you always keeping me motivated.

    Also i couldn’t help noticing that you are using weight with number 30 on it,i just wondering are these weight in kilos or pounds.At the moment im using 4kilos for my legs and 3kilos for the arms.

  • Mike

    Hi Zuzana,
    I found the answer to my first question by reading the written description on workout 1 in this new series:
    “This is a great workout for burning fat, developing muscle endurance, and improving your cardiovascular system.”
    You were very clear on the instructions from the start, as usual!
    Thanks

  • Zuzana – BodyRock.Tv

    Hi Helen, those are pounds. I have currently only 3 pairs. 8lbs, 15lbs, and 30lbs.

  • James

    Hi, I have a question.
    How do you find the desire? I used to workout and now I just dont have the desire? Do you have any inspirational words?
    Thanks

    Zuzana,
    Thank you for your great website. Have you tried crossfit workouts (crossfit.com)? You may enjoy some of their community knowledge. If you are competitive, the Crossfit Games are held in July for the most fit in the world.
    Also, the best nutrition seminar I have been to was by Robb Wolf (robbwolf.com). I have no affiliation with either but think they are great fitness resources that are also posted on the Internet.

  • Kim

    So, nice!!

    I want to have a perfect body just like you!~

  • Lloyd

    Excellent, as always!

    Hi,

    I would just like to ask why you only do the half movement on the last set. I was always taught that half movements like that would limit the overall movement on the muscle over time. Basically saying that overtime with this exercise, it would be difficult to completly straighten you arm. Am I wrong to think this, or is it because out of the 4 exercises, only one is half movement and the other 3 balance out this effect.

    Aloha Zuzana!

    I’m tracking my fitness for one year and luckily I found your videos on youtube today. I was going to go with some other “well known” intense fitness videos but decided to stick with yours because of the variety you provide. I really LOVE the “REALNESS” of your videos…I also have a site and I’ll be posting a link to your site for my friends and family who are joining me. I will definitely keep you posted on my progress…it would be nice to see how everything turns out with me only using your workouts and tips. I’m excited! Thanks again!

    Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing your knowledge with us all!

    Mahalo nui loa!
