Hi everyone,
In order to make things a little more interesting, we are starting to organize the workouts into themes, where we focus down on a particular area or type of training. This weeks theme is all about tightening the butt and fat loss. I will be posting from now on only 3 new workouts a week, which doesn’t mean that I am not doing anything else during the rest of the week. I will be going back to my older routines and trying to beat my old personal best times. I will keep you posted about that as well. In this video I am talking a little bit about motivation and inspiration which I believe is very important for all of us. If you don’t have a good reason that inspires you to workout, then why would you? I need to be inspired and motivated and believe me that I know how hard it is to push yourself into a workout. Thank god for the people who inspire us, because without them we wouldn’t try as hard. I tell you in the video the 3 celebrity butts that inspire me the most and now it’s your turn. Let me know which celebrities inspire you in the comments below.
By the way, the training session for this workout will be in the 1 on 1 with Zuzana as soon as it’s ready, so just to let you know – we are already working on the content and hopefully it will be open this week.
For this workout you will need a raised surface (I use 2 chairs) an exercise mat and a timer.
I am using my cool pink Gymboss Interval Timer
Enjoy your workout,
Zuzana.
There are 4 rounds of the following exercises:
1. Jump Squat and Backward Lunge (alternating legs) – 10 reps
One rep counts as 1 jump squat and one backward lunge
2. Hip Extension – 20 reps
Lift your legs off the ground. Open your legs, cross them again, and bring them down to the floor – this counts as 1 rep
3. Bulgarian Squat – 20 reps on each leg
Put the top of your foot on the chair behind you, keep the shin of your front leg vertical and squat down to bring your back knee as close to the ground as possible.
4. Mountain Climber – 30 reps
Each jump counts as 1 rep.
I just completed the routine in 15:34 and my legs are really feeling it. Since we seem to be mentioning favorite celebrity butts, Jessica Biel gets my vote.
jessica biel for the win!!
Hi Zuzana,
Nice Workout. =)
Geri Halliwell’s body on that video has being my inspiration since came out!, she is almost perfect except for her butt… a bit to small.
The best Victoria’s Secret models body goes to Marisa Miller, she has an amazing fit & toned body, her abs are just fab!
Also Jessica Simpson on the video “these boots are made for walking”… great body, her calf muscles are perfect and her abs too.
And of course YOU must be on everybody’s inspiring lists. =)
Zuzana,
I mostly get inspiration from you and from this website but a celebrity body that I think is perfect is Jessica Biels. And also I appreciate Kim Kardashian for maintaining an ass like that and curves and still being able to look in shape.
Hi to both of you,
I’ve been following your work outs for a couple of months now,& I’ve been getting amazing results.
I have been working out for a few years but I am not getting good resutls.Thanks to you Zuzana!
Asking who’s butts I like,it you Zuzana.
My celebrity inspirations:
4. The dancers on the show dancing with the stars. I don’t know if yall have heard of it but those women are so inspiring to get off my butt! (Karina Smirnoff, Edyta Sliwinska, Julianne Hough, …just to name a few)
3. Marisa Miller
2. Jessica Biel. She has an amazing butt!! Her whole body is awesome but since this workout focuses on buns i had to list her.
1. Zuzana. Even on my recovery days I’ll still come to the website to remind myself that just because physically I’m taking a rest day mentally i still need to focus on eating good food.
Hi Zuzana,
I just finished this workout in 17:04 and girl will I be hurtin tomorrow! It’s a good hurt tho ;)
As always, Thanx,
Audra
Hi,
As of late, you have been my source of inspiration.
The other celebrity is Madonna. I think her strength, endurance, stamina, and her overall take on health is exceptional. I’ve been a fan of hers since the beginning. She still impresses me. And she is a perfect example of the results you can achieve when you make good healthy decisions & never give up.

hi,
most of the celebrities are in starvation mode for those photos in all the magazines and are completely digitally touched up. I highly doubt very many of them are as dedicated to working out like Zuzana is. That’s why I don’t look to celebrity for inspiration at all. Celebrity does absolutely the opposite for me. It’s totally unrealistic. Zuzana is such an inspiration because she is healthy and works damn hard to achieve her physique. She is my #1!!!
Wow, I was going to say just about the same thing. It’s not that I have major trust issues but I find it hard to believe that a celebrity is working as hard as Zuzana. At least not for a long time. I remember Jessica Simpson had a pretty good body for her role in The Dukes of Hazard, but now look at her. The people who inspire me are only the ones I know personally, with the exception of Zuzana. My boyfriend, my other friend, my brother, and of course Zuzana, are the most inspirational people when it comes to working out. I am one of the few, I guess, that ranks health before looking good, and looking good before being social lol. I mean don’t get me wrong, looking good is really fun and you do get more positive attention from people but my real inspiration for working out is to be able to live long enough to see a major positive change in the world (made by me would be cool…) :)
Anywho though, not to be a total suck-up, but, Zuzana, if I were you I would only look at myself for inspiration. You ARE the best woman athlete I know of. You care about your diet, your ability to perform, and improve and I see you doing this almost every single day from your posts. This will most likely come out really weird but your body is the only body I want lol. I’ve looked online, in movies, and in magazines to find women fitness inspirations and none of them compare to you and your body. You don’t have big arms and little calves or big quads and no abs like a lot of these people that focus on one thing. Everything about you is tight and fit. I love it! lol (like I said, this will be weird)
On another note, I am going to become a Personal Trainer. I am still going to major in Wildlife Biology but I am going to pay for my college with Personal Training and love it! :)
Ok, bye now.
Hi Zuzi,
this workout was really killing one and I have to say I did not expect it.I finished in 26,6 min with funny feeling in my legs and but;-))Can’t wait for the next one ;-))
Keep going girl you are the best inspiration to me!

Hi Zuzana and Frederick. This is a great workout…I love it!
On another note, I have a suggestion for your homepage. It may be just me (but I have a pretty fast computer and internet connection) but it seems like the main picture that comes up with the workout of the day and then switches to another workout and keeps switching is not up for long enough. I do not have enough time to read enough of what you wrote to get the jist of it, and also sometimes the picture does not load all of the way before it changes.
It is not all that big of a deal but I thought I would write to you about it to let ya know!
Much Love, Katharine
Hi,
All of the exercises are under the link „Daily Workouts“. There is also a workout archive for her older workouts.
LOL….Scratch that…I misunderstood. Still, it’s not a problem since you can click on the smaller picture just below the main one. That one doesn’t change.
