Hi everyone,
We are back after a short break and ready to rock in 2010! I think that the 500 rep workout is a pretty good start especially if you manage to beat your old personal best from 2009. I did it! :) my old PB for this workout was 35minutes and 55 seconds. Today I completed this torture in 32 minutes and 21 seconds. What is the most challenging exercise from this routine for you? For me it was the push ups.
By the way we are still working on the 1 on 1 with Zuzana premium area and today we shot my new warm up routine that you will be able to follow rep by rep. I started to do this new warm up just before Christmas because as the holidays rolled around I really had to find a way to push myself just to start my workouts. This warm up helps to get me excited and primed up to start the working out – it’s like a meditation and warm up all in one.
There is also one more thing that we have been working on for a while. I am very excited about it, but I can’t really tell you what is it, because it would ruin the surprise. All I can tell you is that we are going to launch a new website with a new video series, and I am sure that you will enjoy it :) This new thing should start sometime this month.
Enjoy today’s workout!
Zuzana
There are 10 exercises and you will do 50 reps for each of them. Try to push hard through the workout and remember that the more energy you put into your workout, the better and faster the results you can expect. Don’t forget to stretch after your training, because it makes a huge difference. You will feel so much better and you will notice a difference in your next workout. If you incorporate regular stretching into your exercise program, you will achieve your goals so much faster.

Hi there. Just wanted to let you know how much your website has changed my life. I am a 3 time marathon runner and weight lifting enthusiast that has experienced serious injuries over the years. I shot up to 200 pounds due to depression (about not be able to workout) and lack of activity. Now I am back on track with a new outlook and a friend showed me your website. I am getting stronger and stronger and actually do your 500 rep workout back to back with you 600 rep workout! When I started I couldn’t even do 2 pushups and now I can do 30 without resting. Thanks so much!
Zuzana,
I have been hitting the gym hard for the past year and I realized I have been doing too much cardio and not enough muscle defining exercizes. You truly are an inspiration to me and you have a beautiful body. I really want to tone my muscles like yours, are these exersize routines mostly what you do everyday, or are you executing in alot more per day? I am just having trouble trying to figure out how much exercising I should do and when to stop per day. I am a 22 year old female. Thanks so much, I look forward to your response.
If you can email me that would be great. Also, are you selling any DVD’s at this time?

how i can download your video to my computer???help me
Zuzana you rock. Nice workout and keep pushing those push ups. You are a very sweet person.
Hi Zuzana. I just want to know how many reps and sets are we supposed to do in this workout, or should we go straight through all 50 reps?
Hi Again Zuzana,
I’m so looking forward to your new website and video series coming soon.
Question: Is it okay to work on my abs every day? or five days? what do you recommend?
Thank you,
Alicia
Zuzana,
I LOVE this workout! Are you (or Freddy) a qualified personal trainer? You have SO MANY different (and diabolical) exercises.
Quick question about Turkish get-ups, is there a particular set of muscles they should be working? And is there a technique to it? They really get my heart rate going, but other than that I am not sure what they are supposed to accomplish.
Thanks so much.
I did this one in 36 mins and 25 seconds. It was my first time doing it, but I’m not going to lie, I am kind of upset that I did not beat your score ;-( For I also did not beat your score in the Hard Bodies Workout. Those are the only two exercises that I could not beat your score in. That’s ok though bc I know that I was pushing hard. The pushups were hard for me, I did as many as I could on my feet and then when I couldn’t take it anymore I switched to my knees. P.S. when are you going to start putting up workouts daily again? You’ve been slacking a little bit on even putting up the 3 for the week too. It took a week and a half almost to get the 6 workouts up (3 for buns and 3 for abs) ;-(
I am not slacking at all :) I do my workouts, but I always come back to the old routines which I don’t find important to show again. You guys can just find them in my Daily Workouts category and beat your old PB as well.
I did your warm up exercise early today and found that I had a lot of energy so I went ahead and did this work out.
My PB was 33:45. I really slacked a bit on the turkish get up and also the jumps, but I did well in the other exercises. This is a killer workout and it got rid of the cold weather blahs the I was suffering from.
Right now I am going back and forth with several of your workouts to get my form right, it’s like dancing you need to practice the moves to get it all right. I am enjoying my workouts so much more, than going to my old gym.
18:38 toughest one yet for me!!! dripping.
Zuzanna, thank you so much for making these videos! They have been a huge help to me!! I’ve lost six pounds already and feel more toned and a lot stronger.
I completed this exercise in 33 minutes and 10 seconds.
The pushups almost killed me, but I managed to make it through!
Thank you again!
Juhuu Zuzana i just did the 500 reps for the first time in 29 min 24 sec. awesome, and now its time to stretch out.
The time in Denmark is now 20:58pm, and yours shows 6 hours earlyer.
Love your style, it looks so easy but it isn’t.
Hi Z,
I did this one for the second time today, beating my old PB with a new time of 32:18. I think I got you by three seconds. ;-)
I’m working hard, but I still need some breaks! On some of the exercises I don’t manage to keep all 50 reps together in one long set. However, I use strict form and don’t do push-ups from the knees!
The 500 is really a killer, and it feels great! Thanks! :-D
Until tomorrow…
B.A.
Hi Z,
my result for this workour is 27 minutes and 25 seconds. The hardest part for me was turkish getups. I used 4 Kg weights and my shoulder are killing me now.
Dear Zuzana.
Not only its today i will beat my time from last week, but i also got my gymboss today.
And thanks to you and Frederick, i now cant wait to do my workout, i want to do it before anything else, and maybe thats why i want to do it twice a day, i am like a little kid in a candyshop, but instead of candy i ask for some kick ass workout – for some heavy sweat :).
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME. c¨,).
I did it, i beat my time from last week by 40 sec, in 28 min and 43:84 sec, with my new gymboss.
But i am more dissapointed than satisfired, but that i will change next week, course then i will do it in the morning.
My arms are now like jello!!! The hardest part for me is definatly all the arm and shoulder work.
I have started for the past 2 weeks doing your daily workouts and have noticed a huge difference in the tightness of my body. its just what I needed! I used to just run 2-4 miles a day and then do minor abs and legs, but doing high intensity and interval training is way better than I could have ever expected.
Thanks!!
Dear Zuzana,
Even though I am a beginner, I try this workout. As I am not strong, I only can make 30 rep of each exercise. It has been 2 weeks since I work out every 2 days.
As for the push up, I can only do them on my knees, I need to be stronger with my arms to do them correctly. But I am certain that I will be able to do them fully one day!
I just finished work out and I’m beat!
Thank you for your support through your workouts!
Kind regards,
hi Zuzana I have a guestion for you about the Forward/Backward Lunge
how do you count one rep?
when you lunge forward and backward does it count as one rep or as two rep?
hi – back and forth is 1 rep.
thanks Frederick
Dear Zuzana and Fredrick,
First, I would just like to say WOW!! Zuzana you are very beautiful and you have one of the sexiest body I have ever seen. I am sorry I have no comment for you Fredrick – I have not seen you. Anyways, thank you for putting this website together.
Second, I have been inspired to start working out again – thanks in part to your website. I started using your routines today; I did the 500 rep workout. This workout kick my a@$! It took 57 minutes and 6 seconds. I will continue to follow your daily workout routines and get better. Thank you again for this website.
