Zuzana hi!

What workout shoes do you wear, and where do you shop for your workout clothes? I love your workout shoes, and I dig the fashions you wear for your workouts, Zuzana!

I cook all of my own food and rarely eat out. I also go to school so I am busy but once a week I bake chicken breast, cook ground turkey meat with taco seasoning, poach salmon, steam brown rice, and steam an assortment of veggies (my current favorites are zucchini, red bell peppers, cauliflower, and carrots). When I leave for a day of school I put together combinations of these foods in one-meal size tupperwares. I also use nonfat yogurt with seasonings (fresh chopped onion and garlic or dill and lemon pepper are a couple of good ones) as a topping for more flavor. Raw nuts also go good in the mix.

The cooking once a week takes me a couple of hours, but it’s cheaper and healthier than buying pre-made packaged food. Also, think of it as an investment in a hot body you can show off during spring break!

Hi girls and Freddy,

I’m in my last year at a university in Ohio, and I’ve actually lost 30 lbs, not gained the “freshman fifteen,” since I started school. I only lived on campus for one year, but I always made sure to eat as healthy as possible. Make sure you have lots of salads, and load them with veggies and good sources of protein, like chickpeas and grilled chicken. If you ask a server in the cafeteria, they are normally making grilled chicken for some dish, so you may be able to just buy the chicken and slice it up. Also, no creamy dressing, even if it is low-fat.

You can also have veggie-loaded grilled chicken sandwiches and remove the bun or at least half of it. Eat healthy wraps, carrots and hummus and try to find fish on campus. Of course, no fried fish, but grilled or even smoked even though that tends to add more sodium.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: no alcohol. This is hardest for most college kids, but believe me, it is worth it when on the beach, all of your friends have beer bellies and yours is slim and toned!!!

Good luck!!!

Hi guys – I remember what my old caff had for us to eat – everything was deep fried or highly processed or both. It might be really hard, but just do your best to avoid as much of that stuff as possible. Stick with as much fruit and veggies as possible. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions to help out the girls?

Hey Zuzana,
My room mate and I are doing your daily workouts and doing a month of your “Eating” right and doing two of your workouts a day (one in the morning and one at night) We were both wondering if you had any tips on food choices. Eating at a University is hard especially what we should stay away from in terms of food. We weighed in what the school has to offer and a whole wheat turkey sandwich with lettuce is the best we could get with an apple or banana. Is there any tips or suggestions?
Also we love body rock. We just discovered it and we are confident in your program and excited to work hard for it.
Thank you

That was extremely intense. What a way to start off my round of workouts ! But I’m really glad I came upon your website, since I’ve been wanting to lose weight, but haven’t really had any motivation. My utter envy of those sculpted abs of yours is motivation enough ! I want ‘em too !
And I’m also going along with your no-sugar diet for a month, I’ve been eating too much junk food. It’s good that looking as good as you can be healthy, instead of crash diets and starving yourself to be thin, not fit. Of course it’s a bit hellish, but hey, no pain, no gain, right ?

Thanks so much !

Niki if you lean your upper body just a little bit forward in the lunge (like in the photo) you will feel it in the forward leg more. Also this will prevent you from over flexing your back.
