I have put this workout together last week on a busy day when I needed some simple, short, but intensive training. My original plan was to complete 3 rounds of 300 skips with the skipping rope, 20 burpees, and 40 backward lunges with a kick up. When I looked at it on a piece of paper, I was kind of worried that this workout won’t be much of a challenge, that I felt I needed so much that day. I thought to myself, I will give it a try and I can always add an extra round or two if necessary. Two rounds of this workout were enough and it took me 23 minutes to complete it. I was surprised how much this workout challenged me, and I have been really looking forward to sharing it with you. Of course it is different to workout at home by yourself, then in front of someone else (all of you). I was trying way harder in front of the camera, maybe I was even showing off :), but the important thing is that I made a huge jump from 23 minutes to 13 minutes and 39 seconds! Can you beat that? So now that I have broken my personal record with this workout, I will increase the intensity and challenge by adding another round. This workout is for everyone who is able to skip and do push ups, squats, and lunges with proper form. If you are not flexible enough to kick up as high as I do, then just do your best. The important thing is that you are up off of your ass and giving this workout a try ;)
Best,
Zuzana
P.S. If you decide to take on this challenge and try to beat my personal record, please let me know how you did. If you beat me you can brag about it :)
the skips were really easy and i did about 900 then got on a tred mill at my friend jenn’s house and ran about two miles i did that yesterday and now my legs hurt like crazy how do you stop that from happening?
Hi Zuzana,
I just want to say how I am doins with these challenge so far :).
First time I was doing it, my score was:
2 rounds in 16 minutes.
Second time:
I managed to do 3 rounds! :) in exactly 20 minutes (2 rounds = 13 minutes).
I think it is pretty good result, at least I am happy about it :).
I will try to beat that next time!
Best,
Tina
zuzana i loved this workout and my best time is 20 mintues 48 seconds…
Hi Zuzana, I am a masters elite track cyclist and a 5.0 level competitive tennis player. I am new to your site and love it. You have so many different videos it is difficult to keep up. My question is could you recommend a video(s) that will help me focus on cycling and tennis specific exercises? BTW, I have also told my wife whom is a triathlete and several of my other friends about your site as well. Thanks for your generosity and sound advice. Hopefully I can remember where I posed this so I am able to read your response.

Hi Zuzana.
I wish to know about a routine for my down back. this is a difficult zone for me and is very hard to remove the fat in this place. I am runner, every day I run between 8 and 12 Km. Enought the fat in my dow back is still there.
Hi Zuzana. I recently was looking to find a workout that I could do at home that would kick my ass, and I went on youtube, where I found this video. Until recently I have been so unmotivated_ I have worked out_ hate the gym_ and wanted something new… but let me tell you that by the end of me completing this workout I felt like a whole new person. My goal was to complete the two rounds in under 30 minutes, and I managed to finish in 27.51 minutes! Which was great! Your site has motivated me so much and taught me so many things I dont think I would have ever known if it were not for you. I thank you so much_ your the best!

Zuzana, I have to say that out of all the workout routines i have searched on the youtube, your videos are by far the best. I have incorporated the majority of your workouts with my routines and with my clients as well. Thank you for the great work. If you ever decide to have a conference/seminar including workout sessions. Please let me know. I will definitely go to your conferences. Thank you Luz M.
Hi Zuzana
Thanks for the workouts, they really do kick ass!
i got the same sneakers you have for christmas so now my feet will be comfortable
Hi,
I know this is a very old workout but I thought I would give it a try in my hotel room this evening (as there wasn’t much room and I had no equipment).
So I did 300 reps of high knees instead of skipping rope and completed 2 whole rounds in 20mins 53secs.
I don’t have a skipping rope. So if i did 300 high knee jumps instead, will that still be as effective as jump roping? thanks.
Hi I m very thankful to you to do this you are so very impressive. i m learning to u. i love exercise. now i m trying to do this at my home and i m enjoying it.
Thanks
