Hi Guys,
This workout made my day :) Ladies and gentlemen I feel like a champion, and not just because I have completed another workout. I made this workout a lot shorter and not by cutting down on the reps or by skipping some exercises. I made this workout shorter by being a lot stronger and faster. In the second week of November I completed this workout in 32 minutes and 46 seconds. Today I completed this workout in DRUM ROLL… 24 minutes and 23 seconds! Yay :)
I haven’t posted my new record for the Fierce Workout, because I was kind of embarrassed about my result. I only managed to beat my old personal best by 30 seconds, and I expected to be a lot faster. I now believe that the reason that I was not as fast was that I attempted this workout late in the night when I was already tired from a full day. Today I got up earlier then usual and I did my workout first thing in the morning (after my coffee). I don’t think that this is just a coincidence. I can really feel that I have way more power and energy in the morning and this translates into a much more effective workout that delivers more bang for my time and effort. It is definitely hard for me to push myself out of sleep into a brutal workout, but once I am able to shake off the sleep and warm up, I can get into it and bring a whole new level of energy to the workout. Have you experienced something similar?
For this workout you will need only your exercise mat and timer. I used my Gymboss Timer as always.
Enjoy the workout. Description of the exercises with pictures are here.
Hi Zuzana, i am new at this site and i’ve just finished 550 rep workout in 20 min. Pretty good for the first attempt I think. Next time I’ll try to push it even harder in order to beat my record. I also love how you mix up all kind of exercise into one workout, it’s very effective. Thanks again for all your workout tips you give us.
Hi,
Thank-you for all your great and super challenging videos. I’m sure someone has already asked you this, but do you do any cardio? I try to always get a 2.5 mile run with every workout and then do one of your workouts, but I feel exhausted by the end. Should I split days where I run and days where I can just do one of your routines?
Love your videos! Watching them definitely motivates me to work out.
Woohoo :D I did this yesterday in 24min 30 sec and today— my muscles are a little sore :D But it feels good!!!!!!!
I really liked watching the 550 rep workout! It inspired me to go to the gym and try it right now. I like your videos because you come up with routines that I would have never thought of and it’s great to always be changing it up! Thanks!
Yes i did it :), last saturday i did the 550 reps for the first time in 27 min and 45 sec, today i beat it in 23 min and 50 sec, its awesome, but thats not all, becourse my weight was then 161,48 lbs and 13% fat, today its 164,78 lbs and 12,7% fat.
Right now i do your workout 4 days a week, and weight train mon-wed and fri, next week i will get my gymboss, then i will start train 1 to 2 times a day, i know my body needs rest, but i feel ready for it c¨,).
So what would you recommend me.
this workout looks intenseeee. i cant wait to try it =)
i wish i had a cool outside place to workout like that!! you can get a nice tan while your exercising!
23min 35 sec!
i did this workout in about 38 min and 23 sec it was very challenging but i loved it. Hopefully next time is better, and its also nice to do your workouts when its cold because of all the snow no one wants to go out. So it is nice that i can view your workouts at home and get much of a workout as i do in the gym. Thank you so much!
Hello! I’m from Russia, and very bad speak in English.:) today has casually seen your videos, and I am simply admired by your body. Has very much pleased that all these exercises I can make houses. Has very much become interested and tomorrow I will start to do (not today because 12.55 AM and I am going to sleep). Has given the reference to a site to the friend, too very much it was pleasant to it. We will train. Now I will become constants your site. And as there will be first results, will necessarily brag!:)
thanks! Russia, Krasnoyarsk. (Siberia)
Today, I did this workout for first time in 26 min. 6 sec, and it kicked my butt!!!
funny – chose the 550 yesterday to be my start with Zuzana’s workouts, and you guess – 26 min 06 sec ;) loads of fun, but the pushup-walkovers were a killer.
Hi, I am also a Russian lady living in America, and having a history of strenuous exercises in my teen years resulted (of course) in a very good physical shape in my later years (which, however, has been also left in the past :-) I have been utterly impressed with Zuzana’s workouts found on this website. Yesterday I was researching the Pilates various reformer routine I was drawn to at this time, however, unexpectedly finding Zuzana’s pieces, I lost an interest in getting the reformer and absolutely loved her work, especially the “550-rep-muscle-murder-workout”, “fat-assassin-workout” and “sexy-beast-workout”, which I found to be quite creative, engaging and effective. Her workouts beat my entire DVD collection of yoga, Pilates and belly dancing routines! I can’t wait to get into a better shape to be able to proceed with Zuzanna’s :-) (pardon my comparison) “as brutal as army sergeant workouts”, which are somewhat too relentless for me now, but surely would eventually build up the strength and stamina I undoubtedly need at this time, had I only found the courage to start practicing her routine. Anyhow, I am increasingly motivated to start! I also hoped to buy some Zuzana’s DVDs from Amazon.com or some other site, to enhance my workout collection and to be able to use them some time later, upon restoring my stamina, but was disappointed with not finding any. Any plans to produce those?
Thanks, Zuzana, for your great work! Your determination and dynamism are also contagious!
I am a big fan of your workouts and i am 15 years old. I was just wondering if i should be doing these workouts or if i should do less because i am finding them exhausting. Maybe my body is not developed enough, i don’t know, but am i capable od doing this on a daily basis?? p.s i love your workout gear:P
Hi Zuzana,
I’ve been following this site for sometime and I always seen your rutines interesting, but I never done it because I’ve been going to the gym 5 times a week for the past 3 years. But today I didn’t go and I said ok lets try one of your routines, so I check this one it seems pretty challenging and a full body work out. I must say..UFFF!!! I was exhausted at the first 2-3 minutes and sweating just like I just started to go to the gym 3 years ago. Now I realize why you sweat that much. Besides of my “bad shape” I could do the whole routine in 32 minutes 42 seconds. Now I know if one day I stop or can’t go to the gym anymore I will start doing your routines without a doubt, or maybe even mix them between your routines and the gym.
Thanks!!!
holaaa!! very good!! to lesson. me gusta seguire tu rutinas ,muy bueno , adios desde venezuela
Ok! Great stuff…Used it last week as warm up in the MA class… The guys managed to do it in 16mn47″
:))
Thanks!
Hey Z- You said this workout was only a warm-up for you. What did you do afterwards to finish your workout? Are you a runner or do you do some other type of cardio?
Thx!!
Gretchen
how can i get all these videos on my zune and/or my phone?
I feel like Roger Bannister. I just did this in 20:28:76 – about three minutes faster than I did it not quite a month ago – and I was really paying attentin to my form. This is ridiculous! I can’t thank you enough not only for the motivation you provide here, but also for the motivation I get from the way I look and feel these days – I never ever would have imagined that I would be in the best shape of my life when I wasn’t doing ANY running at all. Truly – thank you.

It was a typo! I know how to spell “attention”.
I did it in 22:26… I am getting better and better! Thank you!
