On your Ab. Torture Work you are using what appears to be a baseball bat. What is it and where could I buy one?

Hi Zuzana and Frederick,

I’ve been thinking about where you folks might be heading in this large world. As you lived in Canada (Frederick’s homeland) and as Zuzana is from Eastern Europe (which is beautiful), but it can be very cold during winter in the North…so still sticking with Europe maybe somewhere in South? So using a shotgun…it could be either Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, or the Balkans…

Do I win?

zuzana, I love your workouts, and it´s kinda obvious that we all admire your body, me specially admire your shoulders… I read somewere that shoulders respond fast to exercises because they are a small group of muscles… but I have a big difficoult for developing them, my biceps and triceps responds very well, but in my arms, the shoulders doesn´t respond so good.. Do you have anything that could help me, any idea or advice..anything.. ^^
I do 4 different exercises for shoulders, 3 series of 8 to 10reps, with 8 or 10 kgs, depending of the exercise I´m doing, and I pay a big attention to the form, I eat well and rest well too, I think that might be because I´m taking my workouts seriouslly for just 6 months, that might be litlle time for my body to respond, in past I used to exercise a lot, but I had to stop for a year, and has 6 months I back to exercise, I know as you said that is a very long journey, just wanted to know if there´s any advice or something you could tell me, because I saw in a video you saying that you developed your shoulders in a very good way.. ^^
Thanks a lot!
(I loved this workout, there are lots of people who exercises who doesn´t like to do abdominals, I love it!! Those you choose are great!!)
thanks again!

I forgot to say, I posted this ask here because I didn´t know were to post, so I thought it would be a good idea to post in your newest video… and i train my shoulder twice a week, the other days I do bodyweights exercises, and my daylly workouts have one hour and a half duration!
sorry for this mess!

Zuzana,
wow, each time I see you, I am so amazed how great you look!!!! :D
What an inspiration, thanxxx!

Best wishes,

Tina

Hi Zuzana,

I live in Montreal and I want to know where can I buy clubbell?
Buy the way your whiskey grilled pork with couscous is very very good…miam!

Hi Zazana,
What is your opinion on stretch cable exercises? Do you use them in your workouts?

This is a bit out of nowhere but thank you Zuzana. I love your workout routines! I wrote them down (I don’t have a fancy phone to watch you at my gym)and keep it in my gym bag so I always have a training to do (and a lot of choices!). I like that your workout are fast and hard; I sweat like a pig and I feel the torture :)
So thank you, you keep me motivated and I can’t wait to try new workout routines!

Hi Natali,

I wasn’t trying to ignore you, but I just don’t have time to respond to all comments and I already feel guilty about that. My advice for you is to keep going, because the most problematic areas of your body take the longest to improve. If you have just started with fitness then you can not expect that you will look like a supermodel in 6 weeks. It takes time and a lot of effort and that’s why there aren’t so many people in shape nowadays. It is said but everyone is rather looking for a quick fix then a change in their lifestyle. Please read my articles and F.A.Q’s to have a better understanding about fitness lifestyle in general, it will help you a lot. Kind regards. Zuzana.

Hi Olga,

the stretch cables are good to incorporate to bring some change into your routine. I do not recommend to stick only with one piece of equipment or just one type of exercise program. Change is good.

Hi FlaviaRJ,

Try to incorporate some difficult body weight exercises like variations of push ups, handstands, and pull ups. Remember that you have to vary the exercises and intensity for maximum results. Don’t go every time for the same amount of reps and sets and don’t go each time for the same amount of weight either.

Thanks a lot!! I´ll do like you said, I was already variating, but I think that as the time goes I have to vary more, I will do more pull ups, and incorporate the handstands that used to do but i forgot to still continue doing! ^^
It´s hard and i think I´ll have to make and diary of my exercises to keep variating, thanks a lot for the advice!! When I gt better I´ll make sure you know!! Because you had a great guilt in the improvemment of my lifestyle with your inspiring videos and articles!
Thanks a lot again! ^^

I was looking in you tube and I found some videos of power moves of breack dancing, and a book called: monkey see, monkey do, my intention os not dancing break, but those exercises are really great, should see! ^^

Thanks a lot!! again! ^^

Hi Zuzana and Frederick,

I don’t know how my post elsewhere appears here under the name John…but it does. 8-(

Anyway, You should not feel guilt over not replying to every post. One of my first questions here was something you touched on in the FAQ and many questions people ask have answers there. Other questions a doctor or health care professional would better answer.

All your feeling guilty with get you is gray hairs!

And it’s a 10 pound Clubbell, folks!

Best wishes,
–Chris

Great work, Zuzana!

You’re rocking the Clubbell!

Hi Zuzana, I am ready to open my Pilates Studio in cancun Mexico and I want to know where can I get the accessories looks like Baseball Bat? Thanks in advance…!!
Regards,
Gabriel.

Hi Chris,

I have noticed the other posts so I thought that you are just using both nicknames for the comments. It is strange because they both came at the same time before I published either of them.
Anyway, I just hope that there will be more people like you trying to help each other so that I can just focus on creating the content :)

Marie-Josée and Gabriel,

You can find Clubbells at http://www.Clubbell.tv, but hold off ordering for just a little bit longer. Soon, Zuzana will have direct ordering links through BodyRock.tv. Support her effort so she can continue to offer FREE WORKOUTS!

Best regards,
Scott Sonnon

Hi Zuzana!
Can you tell me how are you breathing during skipping? Do you take breath in every three jumps? Please clarify. Thank you

Great abworkout. I use to do this one’s a month with a dumbell.

Hi Zuzana,

I think the problem with “us” helping is the need seems to be to have you reply. It’s “please, Zuzana” and I seriously get the impression people don’t read other folks posts. For that matter they seem not to read the directions to the workouts all the way thru. Now I have been just as needy and just as lazy at reading as anyone here.

But, if they do read other folks posts my first suggestion is they look around the site. Check out the FAQ, Diet and Life as both Frederick and Zuzana have some tips that might solve your problem or answer your question.

Also you can search http://www.bodyrock.tv visa advanced search at Google using the domain name and your keywords. An example: look up Clubbell and Sonnon.

–Best wishes,

Zuzana,

I totally agree with Chris. Do not feel guilty!
Maybe you should open a forum for discusions and save some time of yours.
I think many of people here are capable of helping the others.
You are doing some really great and amazing work here. Why not making all this things more simple for you? And also – all these questions under video with no relation to the content are very confusing. Just a good intention!

Best wishes,

Tina

P.S.: sorry for my bad English :)

Hi,

Tina thank you and your English is fine.

If Zuzana wants help answering questions it could be organized.

By the way, I did both the segments of ab torture today with several other ab related exercises and didn’t seem to have that burn I usually associated with a good workout. But, later tonight I was surprised by how sore my obliques and over all core was!

During the workout as an experiment I tried two dumbbells in substitution for the Clubbell doing the “paddles” and they worked fine.

I guess I will wait till Bodyrock.tv has a direct ordering link to buy Clubbells. Besides I’m not sure what weight to get…yet.

Best wishes,
–Chris

How many lbs is your club bell? Thank you!

Tammy,

these clubbells are 10lbs but they are very heavy! If you think that you are in similar shape as me, it might be ok but if you think you might be weaker, then go for lighter ones or one 5lbs and one 10lbs.

Hi Zuzana,
If anyone is looking for a cheaper option of a clubbell, they could bring a baseball bat to a local precision engineer who would have a lathe or a milling machine and they would make them for a lot less?

Dermot

Hi.
Thank you so much for your video. Great exercise!!!
I saw your videos on youtube and came to this website.
They are all very good. ^0^
I wanna have more muscles like you.
Please don’t get surprised if you click my website link.
It’s my violoncello recording as a hobby. :)
I want to say more words but, all words came out
because I’m not a person born in a English spoken country. ^^;;

Thank you again Zuzana.

so do you do 20 reps of 100 skips of jumpe rope????

ZUZANA !!
you rock..! =-]
I’m sixteen and I’ve been working at my body for about five weeks now,
i recently showed my mother and shes 49,
these workouts work for all ages,
i’ve found much interest in learning what you show,
and i’ve noticed some change so far!!!
thank you miss =-]

Are abs like this possible if: You’ve had two babies and are really heavy in the midsection? I mean, if I really work my ass off, for whatever period of time, is it possible? God, I really hope so.

can u use a baseball bat instead od that thing

I love this side type crunch, I just did a bunch of them and my sides are already sore! I ended up using part of a swiffer handle since i definitely dont have a clubbell or the time or money to get one. it may not weigh anything but i think my sides are working from zero…

thanks for sharing! :)
