Hi Everyone,
I had another intense workout today and to be honest I am already thinking to take it easy tomorrow. I know I said that I will do 3 intense workouts in a row, but I will rather listen to my body then be a hero. It is important that you do the same thing. You are more then welcome to follow my daily workouts, but remember that we are all individuals and we all know what’s best for us. If you feel tired for whatever reason, then take it easy and don’t push yourself too hard just because I have updated the site with a new workout. There are many things that can affect the amount of energy we have during the day. It could be the weather, stress, lack of sleep, environment, or food that is rubbing us of energy. I think that 2 intensive workouts in a row is pretty good accomplishment, so let’s take it easy tomorrow. What if we do something like 1500 jumps with a jump rope and see how fast we can do it? It’s still an amazing cardio, so we don’t have to feel like we missed something.
Now let me show you what is this 300 Rep Nightmare workout all about.
************* UPDATE: Sorry guys but the video crashed out on us. We were working all afternoon to get this up for you and the computer froze and locked up. When we restarted the projects files were toast :( It was too late to start again with this video so we are going to take another run at this one later. If you can follow from the pictures below then give it a try or you can go back and try to beat your own personal best for a previous workout. **************************************************************************************************************
There are 3 rounds of the following exercises in this order:
1. Snowboarder – 20 reps
2. Pull Ups – 5 reps
3. Side V- Crunch – 10 reps on each side
4. Dive Bombers – 10 reps
5. Hanging Knee Raises – 10 reps
6. One leg Side lunge and Back Lunge Jump – 10 reps on each leg
Start in the side lunge position and then jump up on the standing leg. Do a back lunge and jump up again on the same leg. This counts as 1 rep. I did 10 reps on each leg. You will feel the burn.
7. One Leg Burpee with Santana Zuzana Push up – 5 reps on each side.
Start by standing on one leg, squat down and jump into a plank position keeping one leg in the air the whole time. Do a one leg push up and then twist into a side plank position as you can see on the picture. Bring the elbow down towards your supporting hand and then reverse the movement. Get into a one leg plank and jump into a squat, then jump up on one leg. This was one rep, I did 5 on each leg.
8. One Leg Squat to Roll Back – 5 reps on each leg
Do the one leg squat and roll on your back holding your foot and keeping your leg straight. Roll forward and into the squat again. Get up on one leg while still holding your foot. I did 5 reps on each leg.
Hey Stefan again, this is my abs workout:

btw do u have any way to satisfy cravings?
thnks, and i like the new look ;)

Love love your website! Did one of your workouts today! Could you give a rough outline of what you eat in a day? Thanks!
Blessings Sandra
this might be a ‘dumb question’ but where is the 4th workout or is there a fourth workout?
& it really does help to see the video..
This workout is identical to the ones I do… I always do bodyweight workouts in this way: 10 exercises, more or less 10 or 15 reps in easy exercises and in the dificoults I do 5 or 6 reps, and 3 rounds.. ^^
Loved! But I still can´t exercise because of my neck!
I wish I could do some mental exercise, because I´m always visiting the site! hehehehe!! Maybe it works… =P
Very Good Work!
Congratz! (Your har is really great, the pics are amazing!!)
\o/
Hey Z and Fred,
Sorry to hear about the video. That must have been really frustrating. I get all of your descriptions except the one leg squat to roll back. This doesn’t look like any exercise you’ve done before. It looks like you might do a one leg squat then roll onto your side to do a side crunch but I’m not sure. I’d really appreciate it if you could you give a more detailed description for this exercise.
Thanks,
Ashley
Oh, and how long did this workout take you?
Thanks again,
Ashley
Hi Ashley,
it took me 25 minutes and 31 seconds.
Hey guys,
You both put so much effort into designing and uploading these photos and vids every day, for us to use for free, you don’t have to apologise if for just 1 day it doesn’t work!!
Thanks so much, your workouts are awesome. I had only a little bit of time today to do a session, so I put one together, not unlike one of your previous ones. It was 20 jump lunges, 20 V-crunches and 100 high knee skipping rotations – as many rounds of this as I could do in 15 mins. I was sweating like crazy! Thanks again for your continued inspiration and efforts :)
Hi Nay,
thank for your understanding. Sounds like you had a good workout.
how often and for how long do you exercise each day
Hi ana,
You can see exactly how long and what I do each day if you follow my daily workouts. It is the category on the top of each page. I update the site on a daily basis.
Today I went to me Ol’Elementary school to work out on the Swingset-jungle-gym apparatus. Kid’s just don’t know how lucky they are in comparison. Anyway, here’s my workout I made up
as I went along, actually I didn’t even know I was going to workout today, but the Playground compelled me:
1) Walk around the playground once while doing deep breathing exercises, and chi kung kidney massage.
2) Do 15 push ups, yep that’s good enough. lol
3) 10 minutes on Swing set, really, just sit there and swing, it’s really fun. :)
4) 15 dips on dip bars, then 15 leg raises all the way vertical.
5) 5 minutes on Swing set, while upside down. serious, the health benefits are more than science can fathom.
6) repeat #2 & #4.
7) hang on pull-up bar and shake body like there’s no tomorrow. ( better than a laxative )
The end.
Thank you,
Sxean
It should be illegal to have a blog entry without a video of Zuzana.
hi Zuzana,
for me today is an active rest day because i’m really sore from yesterday’s workout. i’m gonna clean the whole house and start getting my sute case ready to leave to SA.
hehe
have a nice day, hope you’ll fix the video.
best, LisaG
Hi Zuzana
This workout should be called 300 Rep Spartan Workout – Noone will survive
but seriously it’s great, i love it. Will give it a go tonight and I can already predict I will need a long rest after it

Hi Zuzana,
Your workouts are amazing, I am used to doing cardio followed by some weight to tone my body.
I have noticed that your workouts are short and intense and that many of them last 3-5 minutes. In this case, do I need to repeat the exercises for additional sets or does the workout last 5 min. total?
Thanks
HI Shakti,
my workouts don’t take 3 to 5 minutes, that’s some misunderstanding. I say at the end of each video how much time did the workout take me to complete and it is about 20 minutes on average. This particular workout took me about 25 minutes. You do all of the exercises in that order as I have posted the pictures and you do 3 rounds. Read the post carefully and see how many reps I did for each exercise before you start the workout, so that you get the most out of it.
Ahoj Zuzko a Ferderick chci se zeptat jestli to co ty delas na tech kruhach je a ma stejnej vysledek(ucinek)jako na pulL up bar ja sem si koupila tu iron gym bar vsimla sem si ze si ty kruhy zacala pouzivat docela casto.Jenom dodatek ted chapu prOc si se odstehovala tam kde je porad teplo ja ziju ve UK dneska tu napadl snih a jeste ktomu mrzne.Vsimla sem si ze kdyz je hnusny pocasi tak se mi nechce nic,no nejak to musim vydrzet.Co si myslis o P90X chtela bych vedet tvuj nazor protoze mas zkusenost.A to dnesni cviceni ja si myslim ze ke kazdymu cviku pisete dostatecne vysvetleni a to to neni cesky ale mi vime jaky jsou lidi co mluvi(jenom)anglicky bez urazky (tvemu manzelovi)
Dekuju za predchozi odpovedi a drztese
Ahoj Stanio,
pull up bar nebo kruhy, to je v podstate jedno, ale je fakt, ze na tech kruhach je to obtiznejsi. Ja jsem si sama poridila ze zvedavosti p90x a musim rict ze se mi to v celku libilo az na to, ze kazdy workout je na me moc dlouhy. Ja davam prednost kratsim a intenzivnejsim. Taky se mi nelibil jejich cardio workout protoze to byl spis takovej aerobic, coz teda ja vubec nemusim. To je ovsem vec nazoru. Jestli se me ptas zda ti p90x muze prinest dobre vysledky, tak pak musim rict ze ano – pokud vydrzis a nezacne te to po case nudit.
damn where is the vedio girl :)
Sorry about the vídeo. Could be a great idea post a clasic workout vídeo regards
Ahoj,
promin, ze pisu cesky, nejak se mi dnes nechce morit se s prekladem :) V souvislosti s uvodnim clankem – jednodussi workouty mam radeji. Preci jen jeste nejsem v nejlepsi fyzicke kondici a kdyz jsou ve workoutu cviky, ktere udelam stezi jednou, tak si je musim upravovat a to me trochu otravi. Moc fajn jsou ty sestavy, kde jsou jednodussi cviky, ale hodne opakovani, treba. A i to muze byt svym zpusobem narocne… Diky za Tvuj blog, je to motivujici a zabavny :)
Martina
Ahoj Martino,
to je v poho klidne pis cesky, hlavne ze pises :)
Hi Zuzana!
I’m gonna try this workout today, looks very intensive.
I have a question, I’ve been following your daily routines, and the 2 last weeks i’ve been doing it everyday, cause they are so much fun. I wanted to know (specially because yo talk about this in this post) if that is bad for my fitness goals, I think if i feel motivated to do my workout today i have to do it, and also it doesn’t feel like a torture to me, i have so much fun, and usually i’m very happy to do my workout of the day. I’ve been careful listening to my body, so i don’t feel like i’m hurting myself, but anyway, i wanted to know if you think it a is a bad thing taking less rest than you do. I want to lose more body fat, so there’s another reason thar encourages me to keep on, even tho i’m so glad with the results, is incredible to see the changes in the shape of my body in a short time.
Thanks for another great workout!
And is is not that big deal that you couldn’t show us a video, most of the exercises are already familiar and we can follow it =)
hi zuzanaa, i did 28 minutes in the last workout,and in a few minutes I will do this!
nice color hair! ;)
I want to know your opinion please, about:
I take everyday a yogurt at 18:00pm or in my breakfast, it’s god this?
or is better take the diet version? or change it for milk? or just eliminate it from my diet?
please tell me what to do about it!
THANKS ZUUU!
and do you drink yogurt and milk often???
byebye :D
Good morning! Could you post more specific instructions on how to do the one leg squat roll back. Do you do a side crunch while on the floor?
Thanks- Becky
Hi Zuzana
I’ve been visiting your site for a little while and I’ve tried some of your workouts which are real killers!
This year around summer I started doing some workout videos, mainly the T. Anderson videos which got me pretty nice results. Specifically because I don’t want to get visible muscles or six pack abs. I managed to work out four days a week which is an accomplishment for me because I’m easily distracted and didn’t use to prioritize working out, but since july this year I’ve worked out non-stop. I’ve dropped to size 4 and I’m really happy.
My problem is that I can’t really do any high impact cardio because I live on a second floor and my downstairs neighbor works from home so I can’t jump up and down or she’ll kill me. I got my skipping rope and covered the floor with playroom tiles but no :( our building is 100 years old and it feels like it will crumble. I live in Québec so as you know, right now it’s impossible to go outside..
So I was wondering if in the future you could give out some tips on how to get some alternative cardio without the jumping, I’d be eternally grateful. My results are lacking in that department. I tried you 20 minute cardio with the Tabata Protocol which is really good but is that enough?
Thank you!
hi Zuzana,
today I decided to do my cardio outdoors and because I live in the Alps and it snew the whole night I went cross country skiing (hiking up with the ski and ski down). It was so great and it is the best cardio ever!!
I wanted to leave you my workout which I think just summarizes the “Best of Zuzana” :-)
I did
60 Prisoner squats with knee high
60 elevated push ups with leg lift
60 one leg dead lift/ leg
60 jump lunges
60 v- crunches
60 superman
60 reptile
60 side-v- crunches
60 mountain climber
60 snow boarder.
that’s it and I nearly died! I realized that it wasn’t the best idea to put the snow boarder at the end I shoud have put the superman there to cool down a little bit. … + it took me nearly 40 minutes to complete the workout becauese I took long breaks in between :-(
Thank you for all the great exercises. You keep me in a good shape. My body has changed a lot since I started following you and I am feeling really fit and healthy.
thank you
cheers
Esther
Hi Esther,
this looks good! Thanks for sharing the workout.
hi Zuzana,
I don’t do your workouts but I steal some ideas from you to use in mine :-) I guess you are tired of answer this, but do you think that this kind of workout is enough or eventually you should come back to do some free weights for a while (kind of off-season training)?
don’t get me wrong. I love body weight excercises, but even this dude Pavel Tsatsouline uses a lot kettlebell
cheers
Hi Xavier,
I used to workout with weights, but as I am getting more familiar with bodyweight workouts, I must say that I really like it and I love the results. I like that I am basically independent from free weights and gyms. I can do my workouts anywhere and get outstanding results. I like athletic looking bodies like gymnasts have and those guys don’t workout with weights. It is more than possible to get strong and lean with bodyweight workouts.
Hey I am new posting on here but just wanted to say that I have incorporated some of your routines into my “non-lifting” days. So twice a week instead of sparring or hitting the weights I like to to these short but effective workouts in addition to cooling down with yoga, basic stretching and breathing exercises. Every Thursday before I go to bed I look up a routine you do and throw it in for my Friday workout to keep it interesting.
Here is my question to you. Have you or Freddy tried the “300 workout” before? I know there are many different variations to the so called “300″ but I’ve been using it once a month for over a year to assess my physical fitness and to show some of my soldiers and fighters how to gauge it as well. I would be more than happy to show/share with you what we consider our “300″ workout and see what your thoughts are on it.
Hi Jay,
It would be great if you would share your 300 workout with us.
Oh wow, I can still barely breath… should probably cool down a little more but completed this workout in 20:59. My form was horrible, I think I need a rest day too!
Thanks you guys, loved it! Your workouts just keep getting better all the time!
Oh, and I wanted to thank you, Zuzana, for sharing a little about your breast implant experience. Women don’t open up enough about their experiences, at least, I don’t hear any but the negative ones. I’ve thought about getting them but glad I didn’t. I’m not sure I could handle the pain or the couple months off from working out, I’m such a workout-junkie.
Best,
Ruth :)
Hi Ruth,
it’s ok, I got used to people talking about my chest all the time :) The pain is really horrible and the time off from working out is another downside of this. I looked like a dumpling before I could do any exercise again. Soft dumpling with firm boobs.
For the snowboarder you write do 20 reps, does that mean 20 reps to each side, or 10 reps to each side totaling 20?
By the way, I love your workouts! I have always been a fan of intensive interval training and I am so happy I found your website! I have lost about 65 pounds and found myself hitting a wall and your workouts are helping me climb over it!
zuzana… hi!!! is it possible to have a yoga challenge??,,, i just love yoga and think it´s an amaizing wourkout.. i´ve seen two videos of you trying asanas so i would love to see a yoga routine at this web site. …ahhhhhh by the way,i´m a fitness and pilates teacher, so if you need some new excersise i might post them; just let me know…bye bye and thank you.

Zuzana, just wanted to say thanks for all of your help and awesome workout routines. I’ve always been one to go to the gym….but I would always follow the same routine day after day and I forgot what it was like to be sore again lol. If it wasn’t for your videos I’d probably still be stuck in the same boreing workouts I’ve been doing for years now. Your a real inspiration to me….soooooooo THANKS! :)
Loved this workout! finished it in 22 mins! The burpee with Zuzana push up was the most challenging for me! I really had to dig in each round on these and remind myself that it was only 10 reps! LOL.. The dive bombers are ALWAYS hardest for me to get through! Pull ups and hanging knee raises really are the most fun, I always up the hanging knee raises from 5 to 10 reps when they are included in the workout! I ended this workout with my 10 min ab routine and called it a night! Keep up the great work! I am SO EXCITED when I see a new workout on your blog! they really have helped me to break through my plateau and finish losing the baby weight! thanks to your workouts I have gone from 174 pounds (day of delivery) to now at 110 pounds!! and my belly is back flat and I’m seeing definition in my abs again! THANKS ZUZANA!!
Hi Zuzana,
I am so so sorry for your video :(, I hope you two are not too angry and sad…
sometimes these things just happened, don`t even bother, next time will be a blast!
I did this workout but it seems I mixed up things a little bit. I did Side V Crunches for fourth exercise (25 per side) – I don`t know if this is correct.
It was very difficult to exercise for me today, tomorrow i will have an active rest day. Today I really didn`t sleep well and I am so tired.
Anyway, my version of this workout took me 31 minutes! Jesus :)))
Have a nice evening,
Tina
Hoooo no video
I´ll do a older workout:D
Lisa G, I’m glad to hear I am not the only one sore after yesterday’s work out. I did pull ups yesterday, and that is the part of me that is sore.
Zuzana,
I did a variation of today’s work out from what I could gather from the photos for 28 minutes.
Later today and tomorrow I will be doing yoga to work out the kinks and prepare for more Zuzana “torture”. :)
Sorry you had computer troubles, I’m sure that was disappointing with all the time and work that you put into this site. Thank you again,
Lisa :)
Hi Zuzana,
I stumbled on your website the other day and I must say I love the way you train as they are short, very intense workouts that gives you a muscular and cardio workout that for your average working person is great!
I play professional rugby so we do similar excerices just with light weights to stay fit and in shape during the season.
I noticed that you said that your are taking it easy your next session as you a bit tired and you thinking of doing 1500 skips for time? An alternative that you can do that is super fun is someing called a 2min challange.So basically you choose 4,5 or 6 workouts like skipping.push ups, pull ups , squats ,crunches ect and for 2min you go full out to achieve as many reps as you can. Once you done you rest for 1min and move to the next excercise for 2min and repeat the 1min rest and move to the next excercise…In the end you total your reap for all your excercises to see how many you got. So you can adapted the excercise time wise, excercise wise and rest wise to suit yor needs.
The two min is pretty rough even for a off day but for us its like heaven.
let me know what you think?
Regards
Wesley
Hi Wesley,
that’s a good challenge, I can imagine that I would be done with push ups after 30 seconds :)
Hi Zuzanna,
Is there any alternative for pull ups we live in USA there is no facility to hang because of wooden houses.
Please advice if any alternate excercise can help.
Sunitha.
Hi Zuzana & Fredrick, I hope you don’t mind me making a suggestion to some in the market for a piece of equipment similar to the rings that they can use just about anywhere.
It is a relatively inexpensive purchase suggestion for people who don’t have gymnastic rings or place to hang them it’s called The Door Gym. It is available at most fitness stores, online, or small deptmartment stores,it goes on sale too, so prices will vary. You can also purchases straps for it, etc. Here is a link to see what it looks like better than my explaination http://www.doorgym.net/
My husband and I have our garage converted into a work out space with equipment and weights but we use this item in the house and it is actually in the kitchen doorway, lol! Zuzana you have me practicing more than ever to get good at this, my husband like most fit men can sail through upper body routines with seemingly no effort at all….grrrr! It is a great piece to travel with since you can hook it to any doorway instantly and you can do various exercises on it not just pull-ups. Hope this might be helpful to some and it is not too late to put it on your holiday gift list.
Warm regards and best wishes
Thank You so much for your site! I look forward to each workout. I am a big believer in bodyweight workouts. You are the best! I am really glad I found this site. It motivates me to improve myself each day. Thank you again!
Thanks for another great workout. You’re right, I really felt the burn on those jumping lunges! Also, those rolling squats were really tough too.
Ahoj Zuzi!
Pisem prvy krat a neviem presne ako to funguje preto po slovensky. Pred tyzdnom som nasla tuto stranku s Tvojim cvicenim. Je to super! Velmi sa mi to paci a tiez by som chcela byt v takej forme ako Ty! Mohla by si mi prosim este poradit ohladom stravovania? uprednostnujes bielkovinovu stravu nizkosacharidovu, ked si tak super vyrysovana? Vopred diky!
Erika
Ahoj Eriko,
dekuji za komentar. Ja se snazim vyhybat trvanlivym potravinam a jist hodne cerstve zeleniny, ovoce, celozrnne pecivo, vajicka, maso, ale take tucne syry a mleko. Nepocitam kalorie a je mi uplne jedno kolik gramu proteinu moje jidlo obsahuje. Ja si rada jidlo uzivam a jedine na co si davam pozor jsou porce. Snazim se jist casto, pravidelne a po malych porcich. Zadne spalovace tuku ani protein v prasku nepouzivam.
hi zuzanaa, i did 28 minutes in the last workout,and in a few minutes I will do this!
nice color hair! ;)
I want to know your opinion please, about:
I take everyday a yogurt at 18:00pm or in my breakfast, it’s god this?
or is better take the diet version? or change it for milk? or just eliminate it from my diet?
please tell me what to do about it!
THANKS ZUUU!
and do you drink yogurt and milk often???
byebye :D
Dear, Bodyrock.tv folks while I am using your site for info. and inspiration I think it only fair to give you a gratuity or tip of some kind. What do you think? thanx Tim
Hi Tim,
it’s very kind of you and we really appreciate your support. To be honest, at this point, the best way you and anyone else can support our blog is just by telling your friends and the people that you come into contact with about us. Thank you.
Does anyone have any alternatives to the rings or a push-up bar? My landlord won’t let me put a bar up (don’t think my walls could take it anyway) and nowhere to sling rings over. I’m missing out a chunk of the routines due to this.
PULL UP BAR. Bloomin’ heck, I can write in English, I swear.
miss the video..thanks you for all the effort you go to for us. please know it is greatly appreciated…maybe you could post a low grade version with you little i pod til you get the bugs worked out? We will appreciate you that much more when you return in hi definition!
Hello Zuzana.
I’d appreciate to hear your thoughts about the impact that some exercises that you show us may cause to some individuals in their joints and what would one could do in order to avoid any harm we could do to us.
Thank You.
Hi Zuzana
Today is one of those rainy gray days when you just want to lay under covers and watch tv.But i did pull myself out and did your workout))It took me 29 min 01 sec))After that i went back to lying down))
Thanks for the great workout again)
Hey Zuzuna!I’m 22. I love your website sooo much.I have always been athletic and always had a good body but never my dream body. I have been following your workouts and FINALLY have my dream body!My cousin is 15 and saw my results and wanted to start your workouts and do them with me. Would your videos be ok for anyone under the age of 18? Thanx!
sorry Zuzana for mispelling your name.happy holidays :)
