Full Body Blast Workout 2/5

The first exercise in the second part of this workout is one arm row from plank position and you will be using your medium weight dumbbells. Get into plank position squeezing the dumbbells in your hands. Your whole body should be perfectly rigid before your start the movement. Really concentrate on engaging every muscle in your body. Squeeze your glutes, abs, legs, and arms. It is really hard to keep focus on contracting all of the muscles during each rep, but keeping your muscles tensed will give you the best results. From this position pull one dumbbell up, keeping your elbows close to your body and squeezing the muscles on the side of your back. Hold for a second and slowly return to the starting position. Alternate the arms and do 10 reps total.

The second exercise in this combo is a side to side lunge with the medicine ball. Start by standing with your feet wide apart, toes slightly pointed out to the side, and holding the medicine ball with both hands infront of you. Move to the side keeping the motion of the exercise smooth. Touch the ground next to your feet with the medicine ball  keeping your obliques and core muscles engaged. After taping the ball down, drive the ball up across the body twisting your torso and pressing the medicine ball up as shown in the video. Remember to keep your feet in place – the twist is centered in your core making this a great exercise for your obliques. Alternate from side to side for 20 reps total.

Best,

Zuzana.

    Zuzanna–I just started doing your workouts and they are great! You are totally kicking my butt. By the way, you can really see your progression of gaining lean mass and shredding fat through your videos. Thanks for this service!

    Hi Zuzana: It seems to me that the second part of this routine is the same as the woodchops the come across the body. I tried your woodchop workout and it was great. It worked alot of muscles. However, I still am sore. Should I do the second part of this routine even though I am sore. my best Gene Reiss

    Hi!

    Just wanted to dittos all the positives people have stated…your are a real inspiration, easy on the eyes and (as if it matters) I like the clothing to wear…

    Couple of questions:

    I see you seem to have moved upstairs to do your videos. Is this because the space was to small downstairs?

    I’m trying to figure a lower range for my weight and the various online height/weight charts just seem to confuse. Met Life’s work seems out of date and really for 25 to 45 year olds (what is the deal with an 1 inch heal height added to the chart!). So my second question is how would you go about calculating someone’s “ideal weight”?

  • Jon

    Another awesome video Zuzana, thank you.
    I would like to know how much that ball weighs.

  • http://www.bodyrock.tv/ Zuzana – BodyRock.Tv

    Jon, the medicine ball that I am using weighs 8 pounds.

  • Luci

    Hi,

    Is it possible to do this with a dumbell instead of the ball, It is really hard for me to get it before the end of the summer because I live on a small island in Croatia:(

  • http://www.bodyrock.tv/ Zuzana – BodyRock.Tv

    Hi Luci,

    sure you can do that with a dumbbell.

  • Stefan

    Hi Zuzana! I am using some kind of training-bench to do my sit-ups. I put my feet behind some iron adjustable incline levels, but I think only my upper abs are perfectly trained. If I really want to train my lower abs, should I lay down and reach my stretched legs to the sky (lift my butt a little from the ground), is that correct? Greetings from the Netherlands! Stefan

    Hi Zuzana,

    Just recently I discovered this website and I see how great these workouts are. I have tried a few and let me tell you they make you sweat like crazy, not to mention the burn and muscle soreness, but it’s all good…lol…
    I know that getting into shape does take time, determination and will power, and these workouts you have come up with or rather live by are quite motivating for me as well as many others. I do go regularly to a gym, but I feel shy to do weight training there so I do my cardio at the gym and the rest at home. I was getting bored of the same routines I do, but now I am having so much more fun with your workout routines it’s great..thanks alot :)

    Hi Merly, it’s always nice to hear when people are enjoying my workouts :) Thank you for your support.

  • Caroline

    How heavy is the medicine ball?

  • http://www.bodyrock.tv/ Zuzana – BodyRock.Tv

    8lbs

  • Frederick

    Hi Caroline – I believe it was 5lbs.

  • Alex N

    I’ve been doing these workouts 4 times a week for the past 2 weeks and I’m definitely seeing results. Before I even started doing serious exercises, I was already eating healthy, which along with the workouts, have really been helping me lose weight and tone my muscles.
