Hi
Gee, I can remember the first workout I found on youtube.. I was browsing for exersices to tone the legs and the rear, and then I found booty bounce workout. I thought “Wow” when I saw Zuzana’s body, and gave the workout a try. I saw the link to your site and since then I’ve been trying the different workouts without equipment, and man they’re hard on you! :) What I really want to say is thank you for being great inspirations and helping me out! :) I’ve been doing your workouts for about a month now, and I feel great after every one!

Now my problem: Generally, I’m pretty happy with my figure. I do weigh more than most of my friends (I’m 18, 1.66 m and weigh around 65kg) but I do have more muscle then they do, and workout much more often. I go to soccer practice twice a week for 1.5 h, and every other evening I do about 45 min cardio and then one of Zuzana’s workouts or weght-lifting. My upper body I’m very satisfied with, what I sometimes have problems with are my hips, thighs and rear. I really have trouble finding fitting pants because I can’t get them past my thighs, and when I do they’re too tight around the rear. I’m really sick of this, but I can’t seem to do much about it! Do you have any tips to tone that area a bit more?

Greetings from Switzerland and thank you!
Lyn

I’m vegetarian too. I don’t like eggs or milk however, and rarely eat cheese, so I’m practically “vegan”. (Personally I don’t like to use words like vegetarian or vegan, cause it seems to put some people off. And it seems like my saying “I’m vegetarian” implies that they are something else, and that is simply not true. There’s a disconnect. Anywho. Guess that’s a little off topic.

Over the last few years, I’ve read quite a bit on diet etc. with exercise specifically in mind, and basically what I do now is just eat 5 or 6 small meals throughout the day.

I usually eat fruit, veggies, and some sort of protein every meal. It kinda feels like snacking all day, but you are never really really hungry.

I would suggest just going out and buying a bunch of fruit and veggies and protein source. For protein I usually eat these fake sausage thingies, tofu, tempeh etc. Also, make sure you get nuts for the fat content. It is good fat. I eat my veggies raw.

I used to count calories, but don’t anymore. I think if you just do the 6 meals, you will be able to feel how much food you need.

As far as exercises, you can always tone down some of the workouts on these videos if they are too much for you. You will be surprised how fast results come when you are eating healthy and workout hard.

Anyway, I this helped, even if it was just a little bit. I’ve just basically read as much as I can about nutrition/exercise, and experimented on myself over the last 4 or 5 years.

This may help:

This is a good read too, it’s why I go raw on veggies now:

Sorry for how long this post was. It’s my first post, and I just want to say a quick “Hello” and “Thanks!” to Fredrick and Zuzana. I seriously appreciate all the videos and information you guys post. I’ve actually been in a slump lately (i.e. being lazy) and your site is always an inspiration. I’m back on track, and revisiting your site helped me. Thanks for doing what you do! :)

Just wanted to say I recently found this site, and I love it! Look forward every day to the new posts. I am now incorporating some of the workouts in my current training to help reduce my bodyfat for a figure competition, as well as give me an interesting and challenging change to my workouts!

Thank you so much!

Hi Zusana,

I was wondering about the diet to gain weight.

I am 150cm tall and weigh only 36 kg. I love food and eat a lot (back in high school I ate 7 times a day!) but hard to gain and very easy to lose weight. Snack for me means chicken curry and rice, not chocolate or cakes.

mom thought it’s just genetic that I dont get bigger (height wise and weight wise), but I dont think it’s true because mom is taller than me and a lot curvier than me when she was young. my brother is tall too but skinny, and my sister is 8 years younger than me but 5cm taller than me and weighs 4-5 kg more than me already! :(

I’ve once gained weight for 4kg for eating McDonalds almost everyday but I dont think it’s healthy. I am a meat person and have been eating a lot of meat and only a little vegie, but now I tied have 3 serves of fruits and 5 serves of vegie too a day.

Can you please suggest me a good diet habits and excercises to get bigger (height wise and weight wise)? Thank you.
