Hi Everyone,
So today we had to shoot our workout inside for the first time since we moved to Malta. What you can see in the video is part of our living room. I prefer to do my workouts outside on the roof, but it got really chilly and it looks like winter finally caught up with us even here. It was really great to do a workout submitted by you guys. A special thanks to Tina I am sorry I meant Tania :) Thanks for correcting me trough your comments – who put this routine together for us and took the time to post it in the comments. A lot of you left some really great workout routines and from now till Christmas I want us to work really hard together and do some really intense workouts so that we can relax and enjoy all of the great treats and rich foods that come with the holidays. You are always very welcome to leave me your workout ideas – just keep in mind that I don’t have any equipment here except my skipping rope and gymnastic rings. Today’s workout consists of 10 exercises. I found that you can move through them very quickly but depending on your individual strength and agility some of the exercises might slow you down. I hit the wall with the tricep dips.
Enjoy today’s workout and thanks again to Tina :)
Best,
Zuzana.
Turbo Fat Blaster Workout
1. Plie Jump Squats – 30 reps
Stand with you feel wide apart, squat down and then jump up. Repeat 30 times.
2. Taping Push Ups – 26 reps
Do a push up and then in the plank position tap the opposite shoulder. Do 26 reps total switching arms.
3. Deep Walking Lunges – 30 reps
If you don’t have enough room to do regular walking lunges, then you can do the same thing as I did. Lunge forward and immediately back. Stay low the whole time and do 15 reps on each leg. I counted a rep every time I stepped forward or back.
4. V-ups – 25 reps
Try not to place your legs on the mat through out the exercise. At the top of the movement your body should be in the V position.
5. Get Ups and High Knees – 30 reps
Do 5 high knees and then drop down onto your belly. As soon as you touch the ground with your whole body, get up and repeat.
6. Leg Lifts – 25 reps
Lay on your back and lift your legs until they are vertical to the floor. Keep your lower back pressed into the mat the entire time.
7. Mountain Climbers – 60 reps
Your foot doesn’t touch the ground as you bring your knee towards your chest. Do 60 reps total.
8. Tricep Dips – 25 reps
9. Skaters Jump Lunges – 30 reps
Try not to touch the floor behind you when you go into the Skaters Lunge position.
10. Knee Assisted One Arm Push Ups – 26 reps
You can switch your arms after each rep to decrease the challenge and do 26 reps total.
Awesome! definitley a challenge. Couldn’t do the v-ups though, so substituted leg lifts.
-you’re so inspiring! thanks!!
Hello Zuzanna!
You are much appriciated! Your workouts are short, but they work everything and getting the heart rate up. In the above workout, are you wearing ankle weights? What size are they? Thank you!
Jen
hey! i found your blog a couple weeks ago and have tried a few of your workouts. i LOVE them! quick and to the point.
do you do any form of cardio? running or biking or elliptical or anything? or are your daily workouts just the ones you post on the blog?
Hi!
Totally brilliant workout! Without any fancy equipment!!! Thanks a lot!
Muriel
[...] dips, and knee assisted one arm push ups. You can find the workout on the Bodyrock.tv website here. This is one of Zuzana’s old workouts that doesn’t require the use of an interval [...]
I love doing lunges Lol i always do them for my warm up =) More ab workouts would be great though IF yo have time. Good Luck with getting settled into your new home.
and btw I didn’t know what to put down for the ‘Website’ Section..so i just put my myspace URL
I meant ‘you’ not ‘yo’…i feel so dumb haha
Oh!)) I just finished this workout!)
I loved it – thanks Zuzana and Tania=)))
It tooks me 31 min – I know – I slow=)))))
Not if you did it all with perfect form, because that’s what really matters :)
Hi, Zuzanna!
After finishing this work out a moment ago, I’m so shaky I can barely type!
I just found your website yesterday, but I already made your tuna salad with coriander (I loved it!) and have completed two work outs – the round booty one and this one.
My question is this: I am starting your workout after having taken up running to get into shape. I’m not overweight, but am definitely in need of all-over toning, which running wasn’t providing. Now I am trying to decide if I should divide my workouts throughout the week between running, or if I should just try doing your daily workouts for a while. Would you suggest continuing to run alongside these, perhaps alternating days, or do you think your workouts provide enough cardio? Judging by my heavy breathing and heart rate, I think they may…
Thanks for the input in advance! I haven’t been this excited about working out in a long time. Thanks for all the motivation! :)

Oops – make that “Zuzana!” :)
this turbo fast thing is absolutely crazy zuzi :) Love it…
Thought I’d try this one again! This workout was a very difficult one for me HAHA.
I finished in a little over 16 minutes!
Thank you for another great workout :)
- Brianna
Thank you for showing me a way to work up a sweat with such a short amount of time. I don’t have a lot of time in my schedule so this is absoutely perfect for me. Keep up the great work, guys!
Hi Zuzana!
I’ve been doing your workouts for 2 weeks every other day I work 12hrs a day so is pretty hard to work out due to my work schedule, I love your blog and you motivate me a lot. All I want is to be healthy and fit of course, I’m 138lbs and 5″3. Is this every other day thing enough for me?
Take care!
Hi Laury – it’s enough if you are seeing the changes to your body – if not then you should increase the sessions :)
Thanks for your response, I greatly appreciate it.
Hi ZuZanna,
you are such a inspiration!! I’m almost 40 with 2 young kids , always try to feel,be and look my best. Your workout are just so perfect for me. Weights became a risky bussiness ( i have a hernia). So that type of workout are so greath to poeple who want to push themself without getting hurt.
I notice in your last pictures that discribe the movement you have sexy look ( you eyes) : YOu don’t need to do that! You don’t need to seduce us , we love you already !!! unless you want to target horny men?!. Honeslty , you look good , you are in shape and i like you spirit. Really wish i could meet you and do a workout with you!!
sincerly , thank you
second time i do it and it took me 14:20.. is that normal?? the only exercise i changed was the 1 arm push up .. i did 2 arm push ups knee asisted .. but thats it.. the first time i did the same and it took me 18 min =O…
anyway i love this workout! :D
Would you every consider coaching people??
Hi Zuzana and Frederick!
I too love your workouts! I go to the gym 5 days a week and 3-4 of those days I do your workouts. My only question is…every trainer I have ever had has told me that you have to workout for 20 mins before you even start burning fat. Some of your workouts only take 16 mins. So does this mean I have to do some cardio on top of this to get into the fat burning zone???
Thanks. Kelly
result: 18:21 :)
18:54. First time doing one of your exercises and it was great! Thanks so much for posting these! I am totally hooked, and plan on doing them daily!
i looove this workout. And i just kicked my own butt! The first time I did it, it took me 22 minutes, and i finished it the second time, just then and i did it in only 16:06 minutes!! OH YEAH
If it wasn’t for your workouts, and your incredible motivation, i would not be as fit as i am now! Thank you!
those high knees and get ups really get me. I have to do them in 3 groups of ten in order for me to get them all done! But it’s totally worth it. :)
great workout zuzana!I barely walk!haha 19′ 07”
This was my workout today and I’m very pleased. My time was 17:11.
Last time when I did this workout (1.3.2010) I had to change V-ups to regular crunches because I couldn’t manage even one V-up! Get Ups and High Knees I did only 15 reps and Tricep Dips 15 reps also. My time was at the time 18:12.
So today I did ALL the repetitions and didn’t modify anything and still I was minute faster than three months ago! I’m VERY excited and proud of myself. :)
I just revisited this one and completed it in 18 minutes and 55 seconds. This has always been one of my favorites on your site:) Thanks and hope you are having an amazing time in Italy, looks like it!!
wait no! it was 18 min and 15 secs lol
I beat my pb today, although not by much. 13:35:58 today and 13:58:16 on March 13th. I was struggling a little with my abs today – including trying to balance on the skater jump lunges – they were tired from yesterday’s workout. But I can tell I’m getting stronger, which I love. Thanks again for this site and I hope your vacation is still going well.
