I think clubbing is fun, if you go with a lot of friends. I too, would prefer to talk and have dinner but just to do something different, it is fun. I enjoy actually getting ready more than going out haha!! I am 22 and my fiance is 26 so he isnt’t really into it much but I like to go with my friends every once in a while and just let loose : )

This is funny you posted this video, cuz this is exactly how I feel this morning. Recovering after a long nite is becoming harder and harder. Im almost 30 now and Im getting tired of the nite life. Its really putting a drag on my training. I believe I will cut out the partying for a while. I enjoy your workout videos and im getting good ideas for conditioning circuits and exercises. Take care and keep up the good work!

28-29 is when my friends and I slowed down. Now we only club for stagettes. We tend to hang out at each other’s houses and have wine tasting nights or trivia nights, etc. The last time I joked with my friends through an email: “Anyone want to go out clubbing??” JUST KIDDING, this isn’t 2006!!!!

It’s funny that you two went out and were bagged the next day. My boyfriend and I did something similar last weekend. We’re both 28 and used to really enjoy going out dancing and being out. Last weekend we went out for the first time in a really long time and we felt exactly the way you felt! The next morning I woke up and felt awful and my whole day was wasted trying to recover. I think as you get older, your priorities change. We’re both very active like you two and we’d rather wake up in the morning, take our dogs for a walk, go for a run or do a workout rather than try and catch up on sleep. Like you Zuzana, I really enjoyed the whole clubbing scence until about 25 and then it just started to lose its appeal after that. Who knows, maybe being in a stable relationship changes it, having a comfortable home..I don’t know! But I’d definitely prefer hanging out in my bed with my dogs, watching a movie too! Thanks for sharing that with us :)

I went out last night for the first time in a few months, and i feel the exact same. i was so excited to go out and i feel really disappointed. yeah it was fun to dance but other then that i feel like it just wasn’t even worth it.and it doesn’t help that i always feel like crap the next morning no matter how much or little i drink.

Hey,
that’s so funny because me & my partner feel the same way…and we are not old (25 & 32). Sometimes I get that same feeling…like we are missing out on something but last time we went out, we could’t workout the next day or two, we felt like crap and just felt like eating junk all day long…I guess that we don’t need that kind of stimulation anymore…my god, I remember those days when me and my girlfriends use to get ready to go out for hours…it was so fun back then…now I’d rather go for a day trip climbing a mountain and have a little bear watching the view… :D

Haha I remember the day I stop going… I was a real club «hunter»; 3-4 times a week or my life was not worth living :)
I think I abuse because I remember being in a club, dancing and then… going to a public phone, calling my boyfriend so he would pick me up because I was tired. Now, I just go rarely and I don’t stay until it’s close!

Also, my body can’t take alchool anymore. I was not a big drinker but I was able to stand few shots, beers, coktails.. Now, I can’t even imagine mixing drinks. I cannot take more then two drinks because the day after, my stomach hurt.

I found that I’m happy home, I’m glad to receive friends, watching hockey or playing WII games :) It’s my thing, I love my house, it’s comfortable and full of love.

I must have burned out too early, I’m only 20 and I’m already sick of clubbing! The first time I went I was 18 and it was fun just because it was my first time. But At my best friend’s bachelorette party at a club, I realized it wasn’t my thing anymore. I was so exhausted, sick of guys trying to dance with me, and drank too much, and I felt so awful in the morning. I too, really enjoy a night at home watching a movie, and just having food and drinks with friends at home. And if anyone wants to dance, we can always turn up the radio and dance in the living room. :]

I used to go out a lot when I was younger and also this past year at university I went out almost every night until the morning hours, threw a lot of partys and all that, but suddenly it stopped. I’m still young. I’m about to turn twenty and partying shouldn’t be over for me by now, but I don’t really enjoy it that much. One day it kinda struck me how bad I always feel afterwards and what a bad impact it has on my health and also on other aspects of my life, so I don’t miss it at all. I still love doing things with my friends, but I can’t seem to find anything positive about drinking and staying up all night anynmore… Idk, it’s strange…

It was about 23 for me. Now I’m 25 and I do actually enjoy going to a club with loud music and do some dancing but merely once or twice a year, and as a part of a holiday programme or something. Most of the time I prefer to go to a quieter pub where I’m able to talk – just as you said in your post. And as I get older I tend to need my beauty sleep much more than I needed it when I was in my teens.

I’m secretly hoping to bump into you some day, now that you’re staying in Prague! Good luck and thanks for the site ;)

Zuzana

Well, I love spending the whole night with my friends (and I do like to drink red wine) but if I’m with good friends which I didn’t see for some time, than a disco would be the last place to go – like you said it’s nicer if you can talk to people so I must say I preffer home parties.
And if there is some good music and good neighbours so that you can also dance, than I don’t ever need to go to disco again :)
So, for me the best option is a private party with great music – dancing in the rooms and talking in the kitschen :)))
One more thing I must add – since I’m following your routines (ca 4-5 months) I get even more tired evenings, but I actually like this feeling before going to bed cause then it makes sence to go to sleep :)
(hope this nade sence lol)

I started feeling like clubbing wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be around Zuzana’s age as well (i am 36 now). The biggest turn off’s were how crappy I felt the next morning & how much time was wasted recovering from the tiredness. And for what? Not much really. I prefer to host dinner parties or go to the pub for a drink & chat.

your top was really cute! I would of worn something like that too even if its an ex. top no one would even notice it looks pretty fancy, i love how the sides scrunch up. Nice club, looks like fun.

hahahaha your dog is sooo cute! it was like bitting the blanket while you were talking lol

I feel the way that you do about clubbing and I am only 24. I used to go several nights a week when I was single and since I’ve been with my fiance, we make an effort to go check out a new dj or band a couple of times a month. It’s hard to get motivated to go out when we’d rather just have a glass of wine with friends or go to a nice dinner. Some nights we are just so tired after work and the gym that we stay in and wonder whether we are missing out by not going to the club.

I’m glad you posted this. I think being with the person you love makes you care less about going out and trying to act “hip” and be a part of some scene.

heh, this is really funny video indeed,me with my boyfriend had totaly the same feelings few months ago, same as you guys we live away from our nativ country for almost 3 years and there was this feeling that we were missing something (mostly i had that feeling,probabley because i used to go out a lot before) and sometimes i got really upset and depressed because of this, i thought my life is getting really boring and I am getting old (im just 22,my bf 27).. so we went back home for holidays.. and went to the club! and now i could make the same video like you guys did,there in nothing wrong with clubbing and so, but its not for me anymore.. i think we just understand now what brings real happiness in life,and its not about getting drunk and clubbing til the morning! this is really my topic, if i could write in my language i would have a lot to say! hehe

I´m only 19… and I like beeing at home, watching tv, drinking tea insted of alcohol. But sometime I go out clubbing. I look forworde to it. But then the evning comes.. And I don´t have so mutch fun, that I planned I would have. Its weird… But healthy.

So boring that you didn´t completed your 30 day challange. I have 17 days left… hope i can do it.

I hate clubbing, i stopped at the age 18.. and that was when it was legal for me to go to these places..

That is too funny. DH and I had a moment like that back in January. We went to a reunion party for a bar we both used to work and later really regretted it. Now we have decided: No more clubbing. Dinner, wine, movies yes…clubbing-no.

Nice to know I’m not the only one, but on the otherhand you make me feel a bit abnormal.

I’m 20(!)and tired of going out. But maybe it’s not for everyone. I’ve never been into it, but I must admit that I enjoy it every once and a while. Never for the partying och the alcohol, but for the company and the opportunity to dance/exercise your brains out! :D

Love your blog! It’s amazing and very inspiring!

I think that such things as clubbing come and go with age. I was quite fond of night life, not particularly clubbing, but having fun and hanging out with friends in a snooker club or bowling. I mean I would work a full day and then, especially on Friday night, we would go out and act crazy till 3 or 4 in the morning. And I must say that the younger I were the easier it was for me to recover, and it definitely took me less time. Now I would not volunteer even for a late event. I try to be home by midnight – otherwise I feel absolutely crushed the next day. Late movie is a thing I would do occasionally with my husband, but that still means that we are back by 1 a,m.
My schedule has changed significantly first with the arrival of our dogs and then with the arrival of my first baby. There was no room for night life anymore though I knew that some of my girl friends still enjoyed this part of their lives, leaving their moms or someone else to babysit the kids. I’m an early iser so it’s rather difficult for me.

yeaaaah…I’m 26 and I’ve been noticing getting tired of staying out all night long. I ve never liked cubbing though. If it s about me, it was always going to a pub, chating with friends and drinking BEER. I must say, i LOVE beer:) So with the time, I noticed that the next day after partying is getting just worst and worst. That it’s not the same as when i was in my early 20′s. And basicly recovering takes me all day long. So I’ve decided not to go out at all…well, ok, maybe once a month just to meet friends:)
I agree with Frederik’s theory: the older we are the other type of fun we need. I suppose you can have a great fun just spending the night time with your bf/gf in bed:)

so Zuza and Freedy and other old people – I wish you allot of creativity in spending time in a cosy places like home, kisses!

This is definately a sign that you all are getting older, ;). I was tired of clubbing pretty much after I turned 22, tho. I prefer quiet or at least calmer enviroments. This year I’m turning 40, tho I feel as young as ever, and I enjoy movies, book stores and going out to restaurants for a drink with my husband as “dates” instead of more raucus places. It’s kind of boring compared to the craziness of clubbing but it’s good for me, :).

Hi Zuzanna,
I am not really keen on clubbing since the very beginning… the only interesting part for me is dancing : my best souvenir was that we organized a short choreography with my dance classe and we were in a nightclub having fun dancing all together. I enjoyed it a lot! But what i can see now (i’m going there from time to time – cause it is also hard to wake up fresh and in a good-mood after a very short night) is that we cannot talk in a nightclub so it’s very hard to meet new people …so it’s more enjoyable to go with a group of friends. I think what is also interesting is that there is new rules during the night: night people are behaving differently than during the day. You can imagine yourself being different for one night: everyone is well-dressed up, everyone is more beautiful, more successful, people are looking at you differently, they are smiling at you …and sometimes you dare to make the first step to go and talk to a stranger (which sometimes is harder during the day) let’s say that this is a good escape from time to time …

Clubbing stopped been fun for me right after university and that was 15 years ago. In 2007 I ventured into a dance club and boy did I feel old. There was just to much butt shaking and grinding. I actually altered the words “I am just too old to be moving my body this way” and that was the last time I stepped into a dance club.

I enjoy sitting in a nice lounge and listen to a great DJ spin or a great musician just sing without too many fanfare. Partying for this 38yrs old is having friends over, popping a nice bottle of wine for them and preparing tasty meals. What a blast to have NO ONE VOMITTS AT THE END OF THE NIGHT.

We’ll be in Las Vegas tomorrrow for 2 weeks and zero clubbing is involved in our plans, but a great deal of fun will be had.

Hope you both get some needed rest.

PS. Did the banner at the club entrance had Zuzana written on it or do I need glasses?

Well, maybe you shouldn’t stay there so long. till 6 am. Maybe you should go clubbing till 3 am, come home, go to sleep and haven’t got the next day off. Or maybe it wasn’t enough good party, where you were;P

I also want to recommend you good concerts. You can also behave crazy there and definitely not to be bored!
I can bet that in Prague are a lot of concerts everytime.
oh, btw. Could you give a post with your favourite music?

Tell me what you listen and I will tell you who you are;)

I agree, the club scene became a lot less fun around 27-28. I believe I agree with Frederick that we just become interested in different things. However as I contemplate the question longer I am coming up with a list of additional reasons why and some of them are getting “pretty deep” (too deep pre-morning coffe):-)
It is always interesting to me how we(humans) as individuals are all so different yet I think most of us go through very similar “stages” of life :-)
Take care.
P.S. Love the blog and youtube channel. I am learning lots, and trying out different foods (from your recipes). Thanks!!

I think it might be an age thing (I’m 29). When I was younger I just wanted to go out just to go out, even tho I’m not a fan of the club scene just because I find belligerent people annoying, and sometimes I really don’t like the music. I’m more of fan of concerts or shows anyway. But I’ve noticed that staying up late is difficult, but it may be because I have a job now that makes me wake up earlier than when I had to go to school. I find pleasure in reading and listening to music, and not getting “CRAZY WOO!” at parties. Plus, spending so much money on alcohol makes my wallet and body sad.

Hi, I have gone through exactly the same thing, as well as my other half. Im 35 now, and we only drink about twice a year, cant take it any more than that!!

Personally, I used to go out every night in my late teens, early 20s, but I think it started to slow down about 26-27. Definately takes much longer to get over a night out now than it did when I was younger. Would rather bit fit and normal now, like you, doing stuff more conservative, not boring!

Love the workouts, had another one today, the 550 rep. Had my other half trying out each exercise, he only did it for about 2 mins!!!

Hi Zuzana and Frederick,

First, let me congratulate you on your great website and the help and hope it offers to so many of us. I have just discovered it 3 weeks ago but i am hooked and have probably viewed 80% of it! You have inspired me to get back in shape and have even begun doing your workouts!

I am originally from Romania. I came to the States in 1982 at the tender age of 16. Needless to say it was culture shock for the first few months. Such a difference in the way people live in diffrent parts of the world!!

I quickly made friends and joined in the american way of life with the parties and the loud music etc. I remember listening to nothing but “urban” stations (rap music).
By the time i was 30, rap turned in to crap and most of the activities i had once enjoyed as a young man no longer attracted me. Other, more intellectual interests and pursuits had sprung up instead.

I think we all go thru this. It’s all part of growing up, learning and maturing and it’s perfectly normal. You begin to understand what’s important and what’s not by having experienced a wide array of activities and relationships. It is a wonderful journey that makes us who we are today. It’s Life so enjoy the ride! Be good to yourself and others and when it’s all over you can say it was all worth it…

Best wishes,
Florin

Hey Zuzana. I just wanted to thank you for making this amazing website and for keeping it going. I’ve been so inspired by you that I’ve lost 10 pounds already since finding your blog 2 weeks ago. I’ve been following your exercises everyday and eating healthier. Thanks again. Keep up the great work!

I like to dance. I really enjoy it, I think it enhances my mood. Lately I dance with friends at their house or mine.
The big clubs are always too much of a scene for me.
NYC, crazy the clubs are actually intimidating.
I guess I am one of those people who would rather enjoy wine and food and a good conversation over nice relaxing music.

Although I am only 21, I completely agree with you…I’ve been partying a lot when I was 17, 18 and now I feel like it takes too much out of my life…Feeling tired the next day etc. was just pushing me away from my goals and training. I feel like now I’m being more aware of the importance of my health and what alcohol does to my body. Plus I’m not single anymore and what is more valuable for me is just staying at home with my partner than going out, then thinking it was pointless and wasting the whole next day feeling hang-overed :]

I have never been into the club scene. I would much rather have a nice dinner in front of a fire with good wine and nice company of 2-4 friends.

I find that the club atmosphere is so manic, and why not feel good the next day?

xx, Denise :D

I enjoy going out to the occasional party or the inevitable wedding or christening but clubbing is boring now. I used to love sneaking out to go clubbing and then sleeping all of the next day; then one night we went out and I realised I was silly going out and having to yell to be heard over really loud music lol. Now we just snuggle up with a glass of wine some food and a DVD. Much better :-)

It’s funny, this happened to my boyfriend and I last week. We went out to the biggest club in Toronto and just were unimpressed with the atmosphere that was once fun. The angry bouncers, the unpleasant bartenders, the horde of sweaty people, the loud loud loud music…just not that fun.
I prefer going to Latin clubs. I find the dancing is way more fun and the whole atmosphere is great (if you can find a place with a younger crowd).

I have to agree.
I thought that it was just me getting old (my wife seems a bit more resiliant :) … and that’s probably part of it too, but clubbing has gotten to the point that if you don’t do it all the time, some sort of ‘extreme’ way, then you’re “out”.
I never understood why do I need to wait till midnight before I see anyone on a dance floor. Where do people go after dinner, or after a movie? Why does it have to be so late, so loud?
I remember … ages ago in Barcelona (on a holiday with friends) going from disco-bar to disco-bar, getting some fresh sea breeze in between, enjoying a drink, some good music and dancing without feeling in a cage.

I don’t think clubbing is fun at all. The music is too loud, people are drunk and acting stupid and it is extremely hard to get home phone numbers from women, because they have their barriers up because of all the jerks.

I haven’t been into the party/club scene in a very long time. I got tired of the lack of focused interaction with people (too noisy, crowded, chaotic) in these situations. It made me feel lonely and confused and down. It took me a while, but now I am very comfortable –and much happier– admitting that’s just not my thing. It’s all about doing what works for you. Give me a quiet meal one on one or a walk in nature and I am at peace :))

I’m 20 and I don’t do that kind of thing..Clubbing and drinking and what not. I guess it just doesn’t appeal to me. I prefer to stay in and read, or else to just get together with some friends and talk.

Conincidentally, I had been invited to what will probably be a wild bash this evening…I had been seriously debating whether I should go, but after hearing your thoughts I have made my mind up to stay home. Thank you for reminding me…

I don’t know but I have a kid & its been a lot harder to have nights out since then. You don’t have the next day to sleep in, you have to get up & be there for your kid, so it’s definitely takes a lot more out of you. I do miss going out sometimes, but then again, I’d almost rather spend my evenings relaxing with a few friends or watching a good movie, then in a noisy club. cheers

I’m 20, and I don’t like going to clubs anyways. I’d rather stay home personally, I’m not a social person anyways. I’m not much of a party person (like high school parties where everyone is drunk), large crowds are rather annoying, and it’s just uncomfortable for me personally. They don’t play music that I like, and over all I don’t like guys or girls making passes at me.

My boyfriend agrees, he doesn’t like going out to clubs either and we’re the same age. We’d rather hang out and watch movies, and drink at home.

I’m 24, but honestly I never really enjoyed clubbing. I went to teen clubs when I was in high school and I guess I got sick of it by the time I went to college. Lady Gaga sure makes clubs sound fun :) but I MUCH prefer going to a pub, playing darts/pool/shuffle board, kicking back and relaxing with friends. House parties, sports bars, karaoke, etc are great fun, too, but the club scene just never really did it for me. Sensory overload maybe, haha. So I think it’s just a difference in preference and the fact that if you do anything enough you’ve been there, done that, it’s not new anymore – not how old you are. Sometimes people who didn’t go out a lot when they were younger kick it into high gear in their 30s, and it seems like people who have already experienced it tend to settle down.

Is it terribly annoying taking your camera everywhere, or do you just think it’s fun? Clearly I enjoy the videos because I keep watching them and responding, but I think if it were me on this blog, there would be no videos because I would feel so awkward carrying the camera around and then taking it out to film anything.

…..same age as you are…. so funny how perspective changes….glad to know I’m not alone.

For me it happened very early. At the age of 23. That’s when i realized it’s fun not to be all banged up the day after. The salsa nights usually tend to end around 1-2 am for me. I think Frederick is right, as we grow and mature we tend to take interest in other things. Maybe it’s because some people have a partner or maybe it’s just because the dimmed lights and loud music is pushing our senses. Anyway, I believe that going to a nice restaurant or just hanging out at someone’s house can be/is a lot of fun, and I don’t feel old because of that. :D

dont worry i’m 21!! and i hate clubs!! lol i know thats bad… but i’d rather go to the movies…. <3

I think clubbing is great when you are you are young and single, after that it’s kind of ridiculous!!! I’ve got 5 small kids myself so I look forward to a great movie and a nice bottle of wine, ahhhh that’s the best!

I love your site Zuzanna (and Fredrick). You motivate me and kickstart my sometimes stale workouts. I appreciate that so much.

Anyway I just had to say that. On the topic: I’m 31 and I’m so done with clubbing. I go when I feel like dancing, which is about 3-4 times a year…However my boyfriend is 24 and he goes every Friday with his friends. It’s definitely an age thing, or maybe a maturity thing. In my early twenties I went 3-4 nights a week, in my mid-to-late twenties maybe once a week, and less and less every year. I don’t mind if BF goes, as long as he behaves :) I prefer to focus on my training.

I agree I use to love clubbing between 18 and 23 years of age. But now I am 27 and it really is not fun. My boyfriend and I love just staying home and watching movies in bed. So much more fun. Or even going out to dinner then come home and read and watch TV. WOW now I feel old. lol Just glad you feel the same way.

Well I am right there with you on this, I think when you are single it is much more fun, but dont get me wrong I love being settled and I think when you have found that someone special you just want to spend your time and life experiences with them and simply I feel your quality of life is 10 fold.

I’m 27 and I prefer hangIng out wIth frIends In some nIce cafe or goIng for BBQ wIth my parents )) I’m totaly AGAINST clubbIng as well as my bf

Hi Zuzana,

thanks for posting this! I’m feeling somewhat similar. I was thinking that maybe it’s because I was working quite hard lately and I’m getting burned out or something :) or I’m a bit less in shape (fitness wise) than I used to be.. so it’s encouraging to see that somebody who obviously is fit & healthy shares the same feelings.. so I see it’s probably just natural.. Only I though that it’s gonna come when I’ll be like 40 and have 2 kids and a big house.. LOL

Good luck with your bodyrock.tv – I think you’re inspiring many ppl!

Cheers!

Peter

So I was 20 when I met my husband, and he was 25. We went clubbing for our birthdays, (he’s the 13th and I’m the 15th of November) and I think that was the last time we’ve been. I’m now 27 and he’s 32. I don’t for a minute miss it. We both think that once you have a boyfriend or girlfriend there really isn’t much point in going clubbing… because really the only reason I was going was to meet guys, and him girls. We both really enjoy each others company so we would rather have like a movie night (which funnily enough I just bought casino royale and were going to watch it tonight lol) or go out for dinner. As for getting together with friends, you can’t really talk to friends at a club so usually we have like barbecues or we have dinner parties. Its even more relaxing to me than going out to a restaurant. Sometimes I think I miss it, and then I just like think about how it really is, like up late, next day a write off, sometimes stupid drunk people, or myself being a stupid drunk person lol. And I go, ya, no thanks :)

Also, we have 3 kids so when we get like a babysitter or time to ourselves we like to have like quality time together. And even when we spend time together as a family, like obviously we can’t take our kids clubbing, but its totally different scene than party days. I feel so much happier now, than when I was doing my clubbing days. I didn’t even do it that long, like 18-21. Much rather spend time with my family curled up in bed watching a movie, or out at the park, than being hungover or poo-faced drunk lol

I just turned 25 and I’m over clubbing (or maybe clubs in the town where I live). It’s just full of gross sweaty drunk teenagers haha.

I feel exactly the same way. I am 33. I haven’t liked the club scene for years. I prefer to get up early and enjoy my workout. I love to feel good.

Hi Zuzana!
For me clubbing stopped when I finished college. I used to be a party animal. But when I started working I got so little free time that I just prefer to spend it having dinner and going to a bar get some drinks, go to the cinema, something more personal you know. Also, working full time really drains you so by 4 I am usually too tired to club… every now and then when a lot of friends from the old times gather we still go clubbing and have a blasting party time. It just happens much less often then in college times. I agree with Fred, people grow into different interests. That’s life, you progress in your tastes!

Haa haa, for me now fun is more like packing a great healthy lunch and going on a hike outside with my friends and going to bed at a reasonable time so that when I wake up in the morning I feel refreshed and ready for another great day of adventure ;)

I think everyone has like a 5 year window of time in their 20′s when they need to get that out of their system, then you’re over it.

For me, I found by the time I was 25 I could no longer stay up all night and still function the next day. It takes me weeks now to recover from an all-nighter. :s
I think as you get older, you have less time for this sort of thing. I have a full-time job, and I could never go clubbing on the weekend and still be able to work properly on Monday. I also think that once you are married, it loses a lot of appeal, since one of the primary reasons for clubbing is to meet members of the opposite sex… ;)

hi z i dont ever go clubbing anymore and i love to party. the reason i dont go is its way to loud you cant even talk to anyone, and the smoke!!ewww i smell like cigerettes when i get home and even cough it up a day or two after its just not worth it plus i dont like dealing with drunk asshole, i just assume to go to a nice lounge and casual drink and hear some jazz, and i stoped going in my 30″s i dont know im just not into it anymore. ps what kind of perfume do you wear i wanna buy some nice perfume for my wife wat do you recommend. also did fred have a busy night beating all the guys away from you you looked great

i would much rather stay at home with my 5 yr old kid! now he is fun!

hey i hope you guys r enjoying prague:)
but r u going to start daily workouts again once u get settled? There hasn’t been one in a while.

Hi Z n F :)

I hate going to normal clubs… they are soul less and the music is usually rubbish :( So I don’t go out generally .. but I Dj at a night that has been going for 12 years, we have parties about 3 times a year and we go all out with beautiful colourful hand painted decor and the music is energetic and fun and down right fabulous. The people that come to the night are all really nice and that creates the most wonderful vibe! We had a party last night, 1st one in a while since last year and it was just a great atmosphere and so much fun was had by everyone, people were genuinely grateful for the experience. I will agree its not as easy as it was when I was 17 (i’m 31 now) and I want to go home by 3 or 4 to have a bath and a cuppa :) (last night i managed to go till 5am!! :) but I don’t go out that often so I make the most of it when I do :) I think it has a lot to do with what kind of people you are partying with and what kind of music is there :) I know that i’ll carry on partying for a good few years yet and I don’t think that age is a factor, I believe it’s down to the individual. I don’t think you should write off your parting days yet Z :) you’re only young :) and you are fit… dancing is a really ancient tribal instinct and it’s really good for the soul.. I don’t think I will ever stop wanting to dance, as long as there are good people and good music, I’ll be there wiggling and smiling! J x

Clubbing has never been my thing and my friends are into going dancing and drinking at the clubs…but i feel more at ease when we just hang out at a friends house or at a pancake house (mind you we only eat small portions)…but as you get older I have noticed that my likes and dislikes have changed and I doubt I’ll ever miss the whole clubbing scene

That’s right, i felt the same last time i went to clubbing, i felt that i was missing something, probably my friends because now everybody is growing their own family in other cities as i am. Things tend to change, we enjoy some new music but we can not enjoy all the music as the teenagers do, in the same way now we enjoy doing other things that a few years back were too bored to do like stay at home to watch a good movie or thinking about how to make some extra income.

i think when you mature a little bit more are 26-30, what you want out of life changes, and your mind set changes like you said your happier in a low key situtation. i have been married for 13 years and i know my wife and i slowed down at 28 and started to think about having kids, buying a house, new car all that jazz.

ps btw i have been trying to follow your workouts but i am waiting on knee surgry in may, then i will get back into fitness seriously but unitl i can move properly makes it hard. i lifted weights for along time and i no longer want to be a big guy i want to just be fit so your workouts seemed to fit good. btw a challenge for you
i want a full workout without using your right leg :)

Im near 24, and it kicked off. I enjoy going in clubs but really prefer lunge pub or an relax pool evening. I really prefer training going into coffee places and about.

I think it depends on what visions you have about life, we you at, do you want kids, do you work or still go to school, are you a philosophical person or not etc… Like you say, someday you realize you miss nothing enjoying life differently.

Thats what I think

I did 4 workouts since we came to Prague. Two new ones and I did two older routines, you can find them all in the Daily workouts category.

My favorite parfume is Channel Chance and Be Delicious (green apple) from DKNY, but everyone has different taste. Frederick didn’t have to beat anyone away – I wasn’t the only girl at the party :) You have to come to Prague to really understand what I mean.

i love clubbing!!!!! i’m still in my twenties and i have a bf but i like clubbing bc you get to get all dressed up and look sexy and what girl doesn’t like getting dolled up?! plus you get to take lots of pics and even though i’m not out to meet anyone it’s fun to let loose jam out to music and not think bout anything. i only stay out til 2 and then eat out with friends after….

i dont think it has anything to do with age, i know many people who are over 30 that are still into clubs. it’s just a party atmosphere… a lil escape.

FUN IS WHAT YOU MAKE OUT OF IT. you can be in a closet with ya friends or partner and make it fun. haha

Hello.

I think that as we get older, our leisure activities have a turnaround. With the discos it is the same – however i notice something: people who didn’t go out in their early days, when they are on late 30′s or 40′s, they tend to go clubbing to recapture lost time, and people that went when they were younger, these are the one that i see stating that their clubbing time is over and spend leisure on other things.
Neverthanless, in my case, I am 30 years old and I never was a “Club rat” :), but i went here and then, and I think it is simply a question of mood – if you are up to it, go there. The last time I went was about 3 months ago and I don’t miss it. But in a few weeks, there’s a chance I go club again.
But staying there until 7 PM is harsh, and it wreckles the day after.

Suzanna, I think that you should not risk clubbing from your agenda, simply go when there’s a spike.

This is my first comment on your site (it will not be the last), but I know about it for a long time and let me tell you that I think it is a superb website, your workouts are great and innovative and your youtube channel rocks.

Best wishes.

Gustavo.

I cant believe you posted this my husband and I did the same thing on friday and he gets a bit too much alchol and then cant say no to going to another late night club. It cost alot of money, we were up until about 9am with people at our place that wouldnt leave! Im 31 but I just thought for the first time ‘if I never do that again it will be too soon’ I was destroyed and so was my saturday and if I think of how much money we spent I could cry :( Im so glad alot of you here think the same

I agree, late 20′s it becomes mundane.
A large part is having a life partner, you have someone to share life with and don’t need the bother of staying out all night.

Having children realy finishes it, but starts a new chapter in ones life.

I am 21 (almost 22) and I have never felt how it’s like to be in a real club. I live in a small town…we have several cafes and a ‘club’ but I don’t like being in it although I go there sometimes because of my friends. I can’t just stay all the time at home like a granny, especially not in my age. All in all, I can say that I’m not taking advantage of my youth as I should. When I see what fun some people have, I can only sigh:/ I hate my stupid town…

I definitely think it’s a maturity thing as well. I am 21 and already feel the same way. Going out already feels like a waste of energy and is not what it used to be. My fiance and I met really young, and when we met I was a crazy party-goer (all night raves, etc). But meeting someone and falling in love and starting a life together really changed me. Nowadays, taking great care of my body and health is my top priority, and I am studying to be a doctor, so the nightlife is not for me at all anymore. Both my fiance and I would definitely choose a nice dinner, chill lounge, or warm and cozy night at home over a crazy clubbing night any day (he is 22, by the way). For me, it is important to be able to wake up bright and early, feeling refreshed, and ready for a nice breakfast and workout to start my day. A night of partying would make me feel guilty for not being able to be productive the following morning. I think going out is still fun for holidays, like New Years when everyone is out to celebrate, or maybe when you are on vacation to a place you have never been, then it is actually worthwhile.

Zuzana,

What ever happened with the tattoo?

Please don’t get it.

Kenzo

My thought on this subject is that once you get this out of your system and you figure out that clubbing is a dead end street….the attraction dies down. Especially, when you have someone already, the whole club thing looses it’s glamour. I stopped clubbing a while back when I figured out that most people there were depressed or alcoholics..lol! But, I still have fun memories of the good times. But you pay for it the following day…that’s when you promise never to drink so much.

Hi Zuzana and Frederick!

How long have you both been married to each other? I have not seen anyone ask that before as far as I seen, so hopefully this isn’t an annoying question!

Thank you =)

Hi ya Zazana im starting to train for a marathon and would love any tips n could give me about fitness goals n nutrition im 32 n this will be my first ever marathon i need all the help i can get even things like trainers n supports you would recommend and general things
Thanks oh the marathon is the dublin city marathon which is on in nov.

Oh man, I feel the same way! I am 26 and feel like it is not fun clubbing anymore but I am also in this phase where I WANT it to be fun. Like every time I go out for a glass or wine or a beer with friends, I have it in my head, like oh we’ll go dancing after this!!! But it never turns out that way or if we do it isn’t really as fun as it was in my head:( I am coming to grips with this lol but it is a bit sad to put that kind of stuff behind. I now enjoy wine bars and places with music and where I can watch people, stuff like that. Oh well! And yes, recovering is the wooooorst. Hangovers or just staying up all night takes a full day for me now and I am useless until the following day. I used to be able to just hop up the next morning and forget about it. The thrills of growing up I suppose;)

Lauren

I agree with you guys! I remember I use to love to go out and party, but now id rather stay home read a book or paint. But the only thing is I am 21 =P I think i started partying rather young. Started at 10yrs old ended at 19/20yrs.
Now when I go out with my boyfriend to parties we are just like Meh. I wish a nice coffee shop was open 24/7 instead.

It will be 3 years this June :)

I used to work in a nightclub as a bartender. ever since then i hate those places, i cant stand going in there. they stink and are way too loud. i prefer a small quiet pub where i can snack have a drink with some friends and chat without having to yell over heartbeat altering pounding bass.

I am 23, but after doing your workouts I’m too tired to go out! Haha.

Clubbing is only good, if the genre of the music is good. That means 80′s club music/alternative/retro disco — that kind of thing.

My two favorite such clubs in America are the Independent Bar in Orlando, Florida, and the Fez Ballroom in Portland, Oregon. No other clubs come close.

clubbing is fun! As long as you don’t do it all the time! I would say at least once a month! And switch up club!! In stead of just techno, try a country/western, or 80″s, or rap/hip-hop. Trance and Techno music were only fun with E-pills!

I think it was around 30 for me too Fredrick. I find it is cool to go to a club for an hour or two with a large group of friends, but I don’t do that all night until dawn thing anymore.
Of course around 30 I went back to college and was a bouncer at a club and that REALLY killed it for me. Getting home at 6 am after working with all the drunk trouble makers all night got to be old quickly. But it got me through school.
I believe our interests change and become more complex. We also start to see that clubbing isn’t as fulfilling as we thought when we were younger and it was new.
Much love.

Yeah when I go clubbing I feel like crap the next the day, I have agree with you on about this topic it’s not fun really it’s lame when you meet drunk negative people.

Awesome to know you guys been together for 3 years now :-)

You guys are so adorable!!!!! This is completely normal, that is why you don’t usually see 40 and 50 yr olds at the club! The older you get, the smarter you get! Staying up all night is very hard on your body and throws you completely out of whak!

Clubbing is okay for singles or friends I don’t think its really fun for couples. I used to go out clubbing alot with my boyfriend but it never worked out the way we wanted it to. The guys there would come up to me and try to talk to me. My boyfriend always hated that about going clubbing and he would always want to beat them up and I always had to hold him back from doing anything stupid and then sometimes the cops came and there was just too much drama when we used to go. So we stopped going. Do we miss it? Not at all. We both prefer to go out to dinner together and the movies or a pool bar instead.

Hi Zuzana, I am a new subscriber, luckily I stumble to your website, now I am starting with the workouts and in just few days I started to see some change with your workouts, thank you!!!! I did go out friday night and yes it’s not for me anymore I had two drinks and left with my sister by three am after dancing all night, but was not missing anything cause I already have my boyfriend, and just wanted to have fun. Having a nice meeting with all my close friends over at the house would be a better choice for me. by the way… I finally bought the gymboss timer to be more precise on my workouts!!!I AM SOOOOO HAPPYYY…. ;) prefer to spend it on myself instead on alcohol drinks!!!lol… ( smart investment) Please never change you are a wonderful person always remember where you came from.

I Totally agree on that. At some point a gap is digging between what we use to do and what we are doing now. Maturity maybe ?

I totally agree with you Zuzana! I did’nt go out for like 6 months and I went this weekend… I feel like crap since I came home! I feel that my body is not feeling good and I really d’ont like that.. also.. I have no energy to do my workout! Really need to sleep…!
I really love you, I really think you’re such a beautiful woman and so smart! I always agree with you!

Yea, for me it was about 25 or so. It’s good to give it that one last time to see if it’s old business. If it was your last, at least you guys had fun shutting the club down. Like Zuzana said, I like those laid back scenes, a wine tasting or Martini bar. Zuzana..YOU-LOOKED-MARVELOUS!!

Hey Zuzana and Fredederick!!
I have to agree with the both of you about clubbing. I am 25 and my boyfriend is 27. We really enjoy going out to local pubs/lounges with our friends, but not the clubs anymore. I personally get soo tired by the end of the night and the next day is waisted because I am too tired to do anything.
I liked the video. It was different then the other ones you usually post. And Zuzana you finally wore your “sweats” on camers. lol. You said once you get comfortable with us you would wear them!! lol CONGRATS!! You are beautiful in anything, and can totally pull it off!!

P.S Cali is adorable!

Hello Zuzana and Frederick
For me, clubbing stopped when I was 20. I’m 22 now. I don’t think there’s a particular age or age range, I think it has to do more with who you are as a person. I personally don’t like the atmosphere. Like you and Frederick, I prefer being in a low-key place like a restaurant and spend some quality time with friends and family.

it’s funny but I’ve tried DKNY be delicious, and loved it!! :) wanna bye it for quite sometime! :) Good taste!!

you grow up and realize there is more to life then a party. it just gets old and some of us mature.

I just want to tell you that today is the first time I see your work out. I love the way your body looks, I like how you have your down to earth chats and the tips you give.

As for the club’s; I love to dance and that is the only reason I always think I would love to go out to a club. But now that I am in my 30′s I don’t get picked out to dance as I use to. So, each time I go out it feels like a reality check. I am a real good dancer, I look good for my age but the men my age and the younger guys rather dance with the younger girls. I would like to dance all night not just three songs.

I think my sleep is more important and I should join a dance class in order to have an excuse to dance more often.

But for now I might be joining your workout!

The same thing started happening to me and my cousin last year, we just have a whole different lifestyle now, I try to go to bed around the same time everyday, even on weekends and when we go out (even if it’s not until 3 A.M.) we feel like crap for up to 2 days after… I don’t drink either, I really don’t need alcohol to get to the dancefloor to start with but seeing how people can do such silly things when they are drunk sometimes… It just ruins the good opinion I have of them somehow.. It’s dissapointing so I’d rather stay home, relax, play some videogames, workout… And to add up to that here it’s all or nothing, either there’s nothing special going on at the bars and it’s empty everywhere, or the bar is totally full and you can barely breathe :(
And I find that as you age, you notice all the younger (sometimes immature and even under-aged, here you only have to be 18) people and you don’t really want to get associated with them…. And I’m only 24, my cousin is 26… It just feels weird and awkward!

Hey guys-I hope all is well in Prague. As far as clubbing and when did it stop being fun?? I think it happens slowly (like erosion) over time. It’s not like stepping over a line. Time goes by, you get busy with other things and before you realize, you don’t enjoy it as much. Also when we were younger it was new and a novelty,as we get older and we’ve done it alot,the charm wears off, plus when you have things going on in your life it gets harder to find days that you are willing to “write off”. The price is too high…I don’t want to burn tomorrow for tonight anymore…but it happened slowly….the same way we get in shape!!!

I’ve been going clubbing for a long time and have made the call that its better to not go clubbing during the year and go to Ibiza in the summer. Its just a lot more fun to go to parties and then go to the beach. It also saves me from wasting weekends recovering from the night before during the rest of the year.

Clubbing has become completely over-rated.
I know it sometimes can become a love hate relationship, but I have definitely learned my lesson.

I would much prefer a nice jazz lounge.

Hey Z!
I’m with you guys! I will be jut turning 25 in a couple weeks, and I am already over the clubbing. I went to one of the biggest partying colleges (LSU) so I think I got it all out of my system then. I do still like to go to small bars every once in a while to dance, but by 1 or 2 in the morning, I’m ready to climb into bed! I also don’t drink as much because I just hate feeling bad the entire next day. I also think it has to do with your boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife. Once you have someone you love and are comfortable with clubbing loses some of its appeal. I would much rather be able to wake up early on a Sunday morning for a special breakfast and go out to the lake with my boyfriend and my dogs than stay out all night clubbing.

Don’t worry Zuzana, I’m feeling that exact same way, except I’m only 21! I just overdid it when I was 18-20 and now I can’t stand the disco/clubbing scene.. the music physically hurts my brain lol :P

I much prefer chilling out with friends or a night in with a dvd on the weekends, compared to copious alcohol and dancing until ungodly hours the following day.. that kind of lifestyle just doesn’t appeal to me any more.. it has no substance or benefits.

Here’s to growing out of old habits :)!

Hi Zuzana and Frederick

Zuzana, i am 27 years old and i had the exact same thinking in my 25…Think of you “thinking” in 23 and now ! how many has changed ! You think more maturely and your prospectives changed ! so what’s with the excercise top? it’s good it’s coloury so no problem ! don’t let these details ruin the night ! :-D
Frederick my friend you waited too long to discover that clubbing just isn’t what we all thought and knew ! Anyway better at 30 than never !
Both have a nice life ! Take care each other and never never let anyone say that you are old the bad way :-D

I “rarely” go clubbing anymore unless it’s a dj I really want to see….and that’s mostly to learn how I can better my djing act. I really only go to the club when I dj myself….so now I’m on the “other” side of clubbing. I guess I don’t see the fun in it anymore unless I’m playing the music. My friends and I would rather find a cool bar for some drinks and laughter :)

Well I’m 20 and my first time I didn’t like the club because I was insecure about how I looked. The third time was great. Fourth and fifth times were just depressing because when you don’t have anyone to dance with it’s just weird. Also I find it very shallow. THe whole deal with getting drunk is just strange. I did it a couple of times and liked it but at same time I don’t like it. Why can’t we just hold onto our minds all the time. Zuzana I have a problem. I’ve lost so much weight recently with my diet and exercize. But I feel depressed without going out and getting to eat hot dogs or sandwich with roast beef from Quiznos. And I had these once and no more but there aren’t much selection in restaurants to cater to healthy low cal. There’ll probably be healthy and high calorie or something. I love fried foods because it makes me happy. Without food to make you happy little else feels as immediately fulfilling especially when you feel sad all the time. But I feel if I lose the weight and fix my image which I currently don’t like I feel like I’ll like myself and enjoy clubbing even more. The reason I want to get into shape is for two reasons only really for myself and for women. To describe myself I was never the cute fat guy who hot women would find adorable. But I know for a fact that I’d look hot and amazing if I was fit and had no belly and had bulging biceps ripping through a shirt. I’m the guy who hates getting rejected a dance at the club with a girl and will just get sad. But I shouldn’t feel sorry for myself! I weigh 179.2 pounds. I’m losing it healthily and I’m not even exercizing.

Hello Zuzana! I am new here. I am very petite and want to gain and maintain weight. About clubbing: I don’t miss it at all. I do miss going out and dancing my butt off all night…even though I could do just that in my living room.

congratulations Zuzana n Frederick on 3 yrs. Are you ever considering children? If so do you ever have concerns of what is may do to your body or have no fear in that. Also what are your thoughts on post baby bodies?? Can a woman get back to top shape after baby? Sorry if this may be inappropriate. Thanks

Hi Zuzana,

I just found your web site a few days ago and I think you are great! You are so fit and disciplined, it’s amazing! You deserve the very good result that you get by working that hard. Watching you is a real motivation. Congratulation for all those workouts and for the way you present them to us.
About nigthclubs; I’ve always personaly tougth that those places with to much loud music kill conversations. It is very difficult to talk with someone and find some commun interest to discuss. So it realy depends on what is your goal when you plan on going into those places. I prefer going in some nice pool hall (billiards club) and play all nigth and exchange with people near by my table. I’am sorry for my writting; there must be many mistakes. My native langage is french and I live in Quebec (city), Canada.
Also, I see a Bowflex add on your site. I love Bowflex equipment. I personaly have all the machines they sell at my place. I do train a lot with them. I make myself short programs from there pdf from their website. If I was the marketing director of Bowflex I would make a deal with you to get you to use those machines to show poeple how well they do the job, how well and easy they get someone fit.
I would love to see you use them and to get advise from you while you would do some of your workouts on their machines.

Thanks a lot and keep doing your wonderfull work.
By the way, you looked very sexy for that nigth out!

Bye,

Hi, everyone! :)

Yes, this is a very interesting topic for me :) Im 18, but I never used to go to clubs much or discos . Yes, I like fun, im not bookworm or smth like that :D I know my aims :)
but… if I look fromm aside to me…. it makes me feel a little bit strange, because my ”inner” person is much older, i have missed in a very strange way the things that the youth ussually does. Even my friend sais that. My view to everything is ”older”, it is not bad, maybe im just conscientious :) I like like drinking beer with my best friend – girl, do crazy and funny things while my classmates go to pubs and clubs :D :) We always hava a choise what to do, haven’t we? :)

Zuzana:

I feel exactly the same way!

Let me ask you something; don’t you think that a huge part of enjoying clubbing when you are younger is “the Hunt” or the chance of “the hook up”? Since you and Fred are now married, that (hopefully!) is no longer part of the appeal? Just a thought.

Sometimes I wonder how I EVER enjoyed staying out all night, going half deaf from the pounding music and feeling MISERABLE the next day!

I never was a fun of clubbing because it didn’t make sense economically! The money spent on buying marked up alcohol, ringing ears and the cab back.

The second reason is because after a night out, I get so drained that I cannot perform at my optimum level especially where workouts are concerned. I have to spend a few days recuperating and waste a few days of working out.As a result, I almost always beat myself for missing the workouts!

The same thing happened to me when I was 28, 29.. near 30 years old.
I was in a very long relationship and I had no need to go to those places where people get drunk and our heads can´t even think well because the noise of the music is sooooo loud… I quit drinking at 26 years old, and bars or disco dances started to loose their interesting.
and I thought also that it hapéned because I was in a relationship but, after 6 years together he broke up with me, and I passed a long time in depression, about 8 monthes, and in the end of this time I started to think that those places could again be a fun option to me, because I was having the feelling again that I needed to meet new people, because I don´t to spend my hole life alone.
But when I went out with a good friend I ended the night talking to her about how I was feeling, I did not had fun, and I´d never could be interessed with any of those men that was in the place. My friend got shoked, she said: how could a girl like you be alone in the hole night? And i said the same thing that zuzana said: I think I´m getting old.
And something more, being single is kinda strange after so many years dating and today the people don´t even want to know each other to start hanging out, and I stranged to see people kissing (and sometimes more!!)around, I´m definitely not confortable with that, I prefer to be alone for a long time since someone special appears in my life than being with other man that I don´t even know.
My friends say that I´ll never meet anyone if I continue with this way of thinking but I preffer to be true with myself, even felling lonely sometimes, I definitely preffer.
So.. that´s it! i agree totally with you guys!
You and Frederick are always great people and more and more we all fell near to you! ^^

Me too! Started REALLY young (13-14) and ended right when I turned 19. I think I did it kind of hard-core though. Enough damage done ;)

wow, its been years since i been in a place like this. i do not miss it. my husband do not like this at all – never did-i “whent back” but did not like it anymore. i think its the age too for most of us. i love been at home with friend have nice white wine or coold beer and talk and laugh. i love girls night that you do in the house.but this loud music and the amount of people in one place…. NO TANK YOU. i stay home .

I really agree with what you said. The shame is that all my friends love clubbing and as a fitness (freak), I am outcasted when they go haha.

I see no meaning in throwing money to add empty calories to your waist, a throbbing head-ache the following day as well as potential health hazards.

In any case, loving your website and videos and think that you are really attractive =)

Hi Zuzana,

Is clubbing still fun? I personally am out of the clubbing business. Things aren’t the same anymore and you might be actually surprised on what i’m going to say because i may be a little too young compared to most people who posted here! I just turned 20 and seriously though, my closest friends(my age) are out of clubbing and parties too.

Last time I went clubbing with some friends was last Summer back in September. I enjoyed the drinks when we were at some pub(outside a club) but when it came to a club, gosh – it was very very boring. I was actually surprised by myself why I found it that boring. I just looked around and stated in my mind – “What the hell i’m doing here!?”

Drinking some wine / beer / vodka in pubs is fine for me but not clubbing. I tend to prefer going camping, going for hikes, you know, adventure stuff. But something I don’t like about my country Malta is that it’s too tiny and really though, once you visited all the sites and experienced things, you’ll be over it.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us Zuzana.
Best of health to you and your partner!

Oh man! It is like you wrote about my life.

I was never really a clubber. My mother was very religious and I was not allowed to go. needless to say that at the age of 17 I rebelled and started going.

It was exciting at first. I was doing something my mother did not approve. All my friends were doing it and there were all sorts of good looking boys and i could dance! but, I hated the cigarette smoke and was never someone to drink.

I also got into serious sports and could not handle staying out until late and then train the whole weekend. I tried going out once I stopped my sports career but found that I hated the loud (beep in your ear) noise, I spent the whole evening shouting to make myself understood. To make matters worst, it took me almost a week to get myself back on track.

I much rather sit in a quiet cafe or entertain at my own house. I prefer talking to shouting. These days when I do go out, I go to a Salsa bar to dance for a few hours and it happens only once every 3 a 6 months and I get home early.

I’m afraid as we get older we do indeed get new interests. OR maybe it is just that we get older and it takes us longer to recover from a night out. :))

The music was godawful. It’s like being in a big sweaty machine.

I think as you get older and more aware of who you are, what you do daily, changes your social habits. I’m 35, when younger drugs and/or alcohol was my Clubbing scene, after being away from that scene and eating healthier,working out and stopped smoking, when I asked to go Clubbing I did but found it was no longer for me, I still go out to Clubs but more Sit back and relax to GOOD music, Not 3am “DOOF DOOF” music know what i mean. I dont think you “OLD” more of a educated Party Girl lol, Love the new Looks of sites, Great workouts and lifestyle vids, Keep it up, Love from Australia

It’s great to be able to go out clubbing and let off some steam by dancing 5-6 hours. But as you said – we all get to do the constant clubbing before 25 – then our priorities change to wanting to socialise with our friends over a drink or two. So no space for booming music.

But the other factor is of course that we know by later on in life that there are things like hangovers – and those are not fun and a waste of time really…I bet it was good to get some dancing in though :o)

I have never been a clubber and I feel the way you do now about it.. like I’m not missing out.. I prefer a nice bar or a lounge where you can chill and have some conversation. I also love places with great live bands.. my favorite place in Bangkok is Brown Sugar it’s a tiny little Jazz bar and very close to where I lived.

I think it happened to me when I turned 22 last year! Early I know! My fiance is 15 years older than me. But we just prefer to go out for meals and chat with our friends in a pub or something. You spend so much money on a night out like clubbing and for what!? You might as well put it to a nice break away somewhere or a day trip!

Also Zuzana, do you know anything about pregnancy excercise? We are trying for a baby at the moment and don’t want to just sit around if I get pregnant. I am very fit, toned and healthy, but I am also worried about getting pregnant because I work hard for the body I have and I know that it is going to undergo some change! This scares me!!!!!! does it you ? I know it seems really selfish way to think, but I want to feel good too. Do you think that it takes long to get back into shape?

Clubbing wasn’t exactly the biggest fun for me since ever. OK, sometimes I think I should go to have some fun, but even new years eve seams for me too long :D I thought too that it is because of the age, I am 26 years old :D For me it is much more fun to go hiking, or to make a kind of party at a friend’s home, we cook together something, we play some board games, cards, stuff like that. And I am totally agree with the two of you.

I have never liked clubbing, but it was kind of a thing who just have to do in order keep up your social life…. like, you have to show your face there that people know you are still around….. sad.

But I really like to have some dinner party with my friends at someone’s home etc. Unfortunately people seem to be too busy for that too.

Im 20 and every now and again I love to go clubbing with friends but not so much since by partner is a cop and seems to see lots of people he locks up (living in a small town) so we prefer to go to a restaurant with friends. Your makeup is beautiful!! Maybe you can do a video on this. Something different and Im sure lots of other people would love to see :) Thanks for everything you do, even though I don’t know you personally, you influence me more than you realize :)

Zuzi,

is there a posibility to get in touche with people from certain country? Maybe some list of emails(with agreement every person) on your web? I would personaly like to meet some of your funs in Czech Rep. Who knows, maybe my neirbough exercise with you and I dont knou about it :-D

Thanks Kris

Wow, I totally AGREE. I had to chime in on this topic because you took all the words right out of my mouth. I really don’t like going to clubs. Every once in a while I’ll think I’m missing something and go because my friends drag me. Then when I get there I am ready to go. I would much rather go to a nice lounge like you said or even a nice small gathering/house party where there’s food, music & drinks where you can still carry on a conversation without screaming to the top of your lungs. And it’s not packed full of people but just a good amount of people where you can mingle. I also enjoy nice evenings at home watching movies whether with my best friends or my boyfriend. I am 27 now, but I have been feeling this way for a long time. I guess I never really was a club person to begin with.

greetings..last time i went clubbing was when i was 37..and yup i did the whole club crawl..until 7am. had a nice breakfast then slept like until 6pm. now im 42. would i do it again? sure, why not? its not just about meeting the opposite sex. its the music and the excitement. Though i haven’t gone clubbing since that 37. maybe ill go again when im 45. its good exercise. except for the cigarettes and lost of hearing for about 2 hours after that.

Hi Zuzana and Fredrick, Thanks for this video!! May I make a request? Will you two do an interview on how you two met, having both of you talking, please??
Also I have never been into clubbing. I like a small get together, with drinks and good company. Anyway take care James

Hi Zuzana,
i am huge fan of what you are doing really, i have been trained athletics for 10 years and after i missed so much the pressure from my trainee. And only with your program now i feel my muscles again. So thank you about all this.

Just one idea, while i was watching you in front the mirror, like a woman it will be interesting for me to know how do u make up and what kind of products do you use. I always like the light colors on your face. I know that they dont pay you about advertise but if there is a chance you to show a little from that part it will be nice. :)

Yes, I have to agree with Frederick, it happens around 30. I know that back when I was in my early to mid 20′s I can’t remember eating or sleeping. Just partying. I would party all day and night and go to work in the morning and work 8 hours and do it all again the next night.
Then you hit mid 20′s and you start to slow down, then you hit late 20′s and 30 and you start to think about settling down…having babies = ) I think this is a normal course of life. People mature and settle into what they are supposed to be doing with their life. I went through the same thing…oh, I haven’t gone out in awhile, I am missing something. Go out only to discover you aren’t missing a thing. It’s the whole “been there, done that” scenery. You will learn though, that you aren’t missing out on anything at the clubs.
I think it is normal to go through this course of behavior. It’s NOT NORMAL, however, when people continue doing this all through their life. It is then a futile attempt to remain young and it just ends up appearing silly. That looked like a cool club though = )

Hey Zuzana,
That party looked awesome haha! Who was the Dj btw? I’m in my early twenties and I don’t go clubbing for the guys or to get drunk, just to let loose and dance :) It depends on where you go and the quality of people and music that surround you I suppose. I do agree that the next day is gone down the drain though, we just sit around and talk about the night before :D

I just saw the video now… It wasn’t working earlier…. Just to let yo know, I’d be out until 10-12 and now I can’t even make it to 4 AM….

[...] Is Clubbing Still Fun? | Fitness Advice, Workout Videos, Health & Fitness | Bodyrock.tv [...]

I KNEW you were born in the year of the Dog. It just shines through all of your attitudes. I KNEW IT!!! =) Wondering what your horoscope might be- Pisces or Aries? Would you mind telling, Zuzana?

Btw, I substituted going to parties with going to concerts. It’s still a mob, but that way it seems to be more cultural, because all the people are there to enjoy the life work of some great personality.

I think it also depends if you are single or in a relationship. I tend to have more fun at clubs if I don’t have obligations to anyone, i.e. dancing with a single person only or ‘no flirting’ rules. The thing that ticks me off is when some people feel like they can only go to clubs and dance when they are drunk. For me, dancing is an outlet and I can lose myself in the music. It isn’t pleasant when you have drunk slobs grinding their you know what’s into your ass all night.

Im not into the scene either I got out of it when I was 21 I was going to them since I was 18 and would use a fake ID. I didnt like how I felt the next day and I would drink alot.

I think going out to a movie and just that night splurging on snacks..(except where I live the theatres are dirty and not that appealing anymore. I love old classic movies and I think this would be fun to. My favorite movie is kinda a romance made in the 60s Its called “love with the proper stranger” Its stars Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen. I use to like the adventures that were made in the 70s like the Posidan Adventure about the ship sinking and they are trying to excape. Just old flicks like this is fun.
I think calli agrees with you she is like ..”good your back, see what can be better then having me for company”! Also if you dont mind telling what kind of coffee brand do you like? I am not finding any thing I like lately. Starbucks is big in the states.

Good Day
I totally agree. I am now 51. As I have gotten older I want depth in my life, not just activity and clubs just do not give time or space to ones soul.
Kevin

I’ve never been overly excited to go out to the clubs. I use to enjoy going to the bars for about a year when I was 21 but I ended up having my daughter when I was 22 and buying my house when I was 23. Everyone just comes over to my house for cook-outs now so I don’t really see the point in spending $7 a drink going out. I’m 27 now with a healthy lifestyle, two beautiful kids and a successful career. I guess everyone reaches that point where they “grow up” and start to appreciate good friends and family more than going out getting drunk and grinding with strangers every Friday and Saturday night.

I stopped clubbing when I was 25, however, I know people that are 49 and are still clubbing! I would venture the notion that the length of time people continue clubbing is directly related to how fulfilled their personal lives are plus level of maturity attained. Am loving the workouts Zuzana, am still a beginner, but am getting better. In the interests of additional stamina building, I swam 64 lengths (in a 25 metre pool) this morning – one mile!!! :-)

Hi Zuzana, hi Frederick!

If I am not mistaking, after 25 years old it takes a full week for your body to completely recover from a night up!!! I’m 26 and clubbing is just to demanding for me!!! I can’t do it anymore and I am not able to have fun, the music is too loud, there is too many people and I’m too tired the day after and cannot do any fun activities. I’d rather go to the movies or to the restaurant with my boyfriend and some friends, have a good night rest and do something fun the next day like climbing Mont-Royal. Almost all my friends are at the same point too, so I think the change comes around 25.

Michelle

u bouth change my life so much, i love u and im so thankfull for you to. i wish to wright you more but my english gramer and speling is so bad, i have so much to tell u. i watch you every day. u make my life nicer and happier, thank you so much!

Guess I’m the senior here…lol I don’t remember disco’s nor do I care. I still love classic rock n roll. BTW, I lost out on the chocolate and sweets. You’ll have better luck I’m sure. A great time out is spending it with family and friends. You and Freddy have a great time and have fun!
PS: Don’t concern your self with critics, they usually are butt heads with no life! Rock on…..

Oh, I feel SO old when I am in loud places. HAHA. I like things quiet. I am 30 and it has been a handful of years since I really enjoyed to ‘party’.
For me, sitting back with 1 or 2 glasses of wine after dinner and playing twister with the kids and my husband is wonderful. :)

Hello, Zuzana! :-)
It’s great to know you love Be Delicious too! It smells fresh and happy and sophisticated.
Anyway, about clubbing, I totally agree with you. I worked as a dancer in a club and now I’d just rather lounge around in a coffee shop or at home with a good book. I realize how pretentious clubbing is, and how clubbers are out there just to prove how cool they are. Well, it’s a phase in life that we all have to go through. The clubbing phase, I mean. Love from Manila! :hugs:

Well, I am only 21 and I still only go out the odd time with my girlfriends, maybe two or three times a year. I’m not a big fan of the whole scene. I mean, the only thing about it I enjoy is the dancing. If I want music I can listen to better music at a jazz louge or open mic night somewhere where there’s live music. If I want drinks, well they sure aren’t cheap when you go out. So yeah, even though I’m still considered fairly young, I am already begginning to enjoy home life with loved ones as more of an exciting evening than clubbing.

I’m 39 now and still love clubbing, for the sheer fun of dancing and feeling the music! A lot of people say that going out to a club or disco is about flirting & meeting men, but for me that was never the primary appeal. I just go there because I wanna dance and have a few drinks and I have done just that ever since I was 15 (yes, that’s legal where I grew up, don’t worry).

Of course nowaydays I go less frequently (about once every 3 months), but to go totally without is hard to imagine. It is all true what you guys have said about enjoying a calmer, more settled life with Mr. Right – life is indeed much richer once you have found that special someone – but every once in a while I just want to go out (either with my hubby or a friend) and go mad on the dance floor for a few hours (luckily there are clubs here where such old folks are welcome ;-)

Did Cali went to the club with you guys, she looks like she could need some coffee to c¨,).

Zuzana,
What is the name of your MAC lip gloss, I have been looking for that shade of light pink forever. I love the simple yet very effective format of your exercise videos. Thanks so much!
Kris

Hi Kris it’s called creamsheen glass :)

Yup, me too!
My boyfriend and I are both musicians, so we’re in the clubs playing a lot. But, about a year ago it became less about the after-party and more about trying to get home by midnight, ha ha! My whole body, my whole work-week, even my thoughts can be affected negatively by too much partying. Plus, I am 28, and when I have gone out in the past year I feel OLD. That’s kind of depressing. Ha ha ha!

I am a Taurus :)

Hi H, I have not started to really learn about that subject yet but someday I am sure I will know all about it :)

At some point you no longer need the attention that clubbing might provide and you begin to look for more meaning in how your time is spent.

Used to go clubbing on average 3/4 times a week when i was younger, Loved it !!! when i turned 30, thats when everything changed , it would take alot longer to recover from nights out , after a heavy night (which was almost every night went out ), would take 3 days to fully recover and that took the fun out of it and i packed it all in !! Now i have absolutely ZERO interest in clubs , they had their time and they are long gone … thank god ;)These days the clubs just dont feel the same way they did back then (maybe its just me) It has been ten years now and feel sooo much better for it . If i never step foot in another club again , that would be more than fine for me :)

I know many women who were able to get in even better shape after they had their children – these women inspire me.

Hi Zuzana,

I agree with both you and Freddy.I cannot get myself to a dance hall,bar or even a sports bar.I love being home.I have invested so much money in my studio (Music),I have a wonderful property,great company and I recently decided that I do not want any alcohol in my system or my house and that can be challenging when your surrounded by drunken hollagans. I’m trying very hard to get to a level of fitness that I’ve never achieved before.6 ft 4 260 and I need to get down to 240. Love your workouts! Your very inspiring!Movies,good food and great company will always beat the bar in my books!

Take care,

Rob

Hi Zuzana :) What color is your MAC cremesheen glass? The closest color it looked like was Boy Bait. Thanks so much again for sharing from your personal life and being real :) (sorry if someone already asked this question and I didn’t see it)

Blessings, Chanin

Ah, Zuzana :) I wanted to ask you one question, maybe it won’t be on this topic, but… :)

How long have you been doing your exercises, or active lifestyle? :) Have you always been in a good shape and slim? :)(sorry if my English is not correct somewhere) :)

Hey guys, I totally feel you. I am 32 years old, and find that clubbing is always the same old thing…I wasn’t really into them and well, there aren’t really any good ones here to go to…maybe people this way whereever they live? We like to go to chill places, too, lounges, and pubs. But when I am in a different city, like NYC, or if I was in Prague, I would to go to a club for sure. They always seem funner when you have never been there before and you are in a new city. But how much fun I have is directly related to how much I like the music or the atmosphere. I prefer clubs that play dance/ hip-hop / a tiny bit of R&B / some reggae…which are hard to find here in Alberta! And I was at a club in Dallas, Texas that was kind of small, decorated really cool (had a hookah bar section), played good music and had poetry and spoken word performances mixed in.

hey guys! i dont think that the dislike for clubbing kicks in at a certain age……i think you just “evolve”….you grow as a person as you experience more in life and then suddenly one day u wake up and…..BAM!…….clubbing just gives you a headache and one drink gives you a hangover.haha…..been there and done that but im alot older than u guys are…it happened for me about 7 or 8 years ago…..just wait until you have children…….you will WANT to go out clubbing at some point but then when u do, you realize quickly why you stopped in the first place and then all night long you are wondering if your child is ok and end up talking with your husband about things that your child does that are cute, etc…its hilarious……..we opted for movie nights as well…..something rated R…at least THEN we feel SOMEWHAT young and hip and alive……haha…….
im glad u did this bit on clubbing.im not the only one…isnt it funny zuzana that NOW you probably have the MOST self confidence that you’ve ever had in your life…you are happy and healthy and in great shape with a great body that you feel wonderful in….and you cant really enjoy showing it off in a club…….haha…..that’s ok..you get to show it off on bodyrock.tv and we all appreciate it!!!take care guys!

Hello for you both! (more for Zuzana)
I have just found your excellent trainings and videos about workout and I am astonished! Zuzana, you rock, big time.

For the subject above there I can say that clubbing aint fun at all and i think it is just the social pressure why people are going in clubs. The time when you realize to leave it behind is when you gain some selfrespect and self-confidence. Past 3 years have only been at places where you can have decent conversation or/and play pool (wich I recommend alot).

Thanks for everything and keep on doing the good work!

When you are young (18-25) you still don’t know who you are and what you want out of life. Partying is fun because you get to meet lots of different kinds of people in one spot. When you develop real interests in life and find solid friends I don’t think you need to form superficial friendships through drinking and parties anymore. For me it started happening around 25.

ps.-haha zuzana,…….you are just like me…….sooooooo comfortable on the couch with your BIIIGGGGGGG mug of coffee and a cozy sweatshirt and sweatpants……….that’s kindof my life now…..this kind of eaaaaasy relaxing and working out and my work as a trainer….i honestly dont do clubbing anymore because it cuts into my relaxation time the next day……haha…….i just cant stand the thought that while im in bed recovering, life is happening all around me and so many wasted hours of daylight when we could be getting a great workout outside on the bicycle or in the studio!!!seems like a real waste of time.
xoxo

My husband and I have been feeling the same way about clubs as you do recently. I am 26 and he is in his early 30′s but our close friends (mostly single) still LOVE to go out to clubs almost any night of the week. Every once in a while we meet up with them but always leave remembering why we don’t love going anymore! We thought maybe is was just us and we are just “getting older”! :) We still love to get together with our friends but much prefer a great bar or somewhere you can actually talk to each other. I think our priorities have just shifted but its nice to know we are not alone in how we feel.

hi,
just a one question..i was wondering what you both do for a living? i mean where you are working? because you can travel so much from other place to another which is fantastic.
Just going to do Fierce Workout:)

Hi Suzana, do you know that is scientifically proved that poeple doesn’t like to go out and clubbing all night long when they are getting older. Like past 25 years old, the epiphysis, who’s in the diencephalon, replace de correct biological clock. That is the reason why teenagers and young adults love to live by the night. In fact, the role of the epiphysis is controled by the sunlight, so when there is a beautiful weather outside, everyone feel happy and no stressed out. But for teenagers and young adult, the epiphysis is doing the opposite way, they are loving to live in the dark of the night and sleeping during the sunny day.
tank you for sharing your experience
sorry for my english … not my principal language.
Stef

Hey, I really enjoyed watching this and the whole site altogether.

Im in my early 20s and I’m feeling the same thing you are feeling already. I used to go after parties and party everyday, non stop, getting drunk and wasted the entire day after from the hangover, and the cycle goes on, for 3 days a week at least.

Then one day I decided to step up my game and just change my lifestyle altogether, chilling out, sleeping early, working out, eating healthy etc. Alcohol is at its minimal. It gets a bit hard and weird for me because people my age are still clubbing and partying non stop but I have to turn them down all the time. I get laughed at sometimes but I learnt not to care anymore.

However, one thing, I havent been dressing up much! Im a girl, and ive tonnes of clothes but now its just kept away somewhere, with all my heels and makeup and stuff. My hair is getting abit… weirdly long too.

But on the whole, I’ve never felt better. Life is so much more meaningful now that I wake up every morning and I don’t waste my day away, I dont party aimlessly and now I only go on really special occasions and I dont drink excessively either. My relationship with my family improved alot as well as my mornings arent ruined and we have a great breakfast together. Whilst my ‘friends’ whom I used to party with judge me and criticize, they slowly fade away and only goes to show the whole temporal sincerity and fair weather-ness they have got to offer.

Vy jste byli v SaSaZu? Bydlim tak pet minut pesky odtamtud, sem se na vas mohl prijit podivat a mohla jste mi osobne pochvalit clanek, ktery jsem o vas napsal :)

Clubbing lost it’s allure after I had my babies. Now I much prefer hanging out with friends or my hubby at a lounge. Although, I still LOVE to dance and enjoy good party with good music.

By the time I was around 23 or 24 I was over the whole club scene. Granted I started going to clubs at 18, I feel like I got it all out of my system at fairly young age. It’s not fun for my husband and me anymore. I don’t like all the drama that comes with hundreds of people with too much alcohol in their systems. Sometimes it’s fun to hang back and watch the drama and laugh at everyone but usually it’s just annoying. I don’t like arrogant men coming on to me because they can’t handle the rejection. I guess I’m lame and boring now. I’d rather go to a lounge with friends so we can talk and hangout and dance and have some drinks but on the other hand I’d rather have drinks at home with friends because it’s cheaper Hahaha. My husband and I go out to the club maybe twice a year and then afterward we remember why we don’t like them anymore. I have older friends who are in their late 30′s and early 40′s who love to go clubbing and can’t imagine why I don’t care for it being as young as I am. To each their own.

Hi Zuzana and Frederick,

I think most people find clubbing is fun in their early 20′s because you feel it is the thing to do. You are finally legal and you can drink and sometimes hook up. You want to be part of that world you’ve been hearing about when you are a teenager. I do believe that when you choose a healthy lifestyle it starts to pull you away from that scene. For example you exercise everyday, you eat right, you don’t smoke and probably only drink occasionally. You enter the club scene and its loud people are drunk the music is loud, you have a few drinks and you stay there till the early morning hours. You get home feel like crap, can’t workout the next day, screwed up your healthy eating plan by drinking alcohol (mucho calories). I find that I much rather go to a nice dinner club/bar with a nice group of friends and listen to some live music, dance a little and have a glass of wine. There is more quality to that than the disco/club scene.

I keep getting a connection error. everytime I hit submit. so if I double posted sorry

I never like clubs. Way to many people. The last time I was in Vegas we went clubbing and I quickly remembered how HORRIBLE they are. We used the term “nut to butt”…which is good if there are plenty of pretty girls……we didn’t stay long.
Chilling with friends, cooking out, having drinks, playing games…at home is much more fun (and cheaper) than clubbing to me.
BTW, the workout top looks great “working out” or “going out”.
Keep doing what you’re doing guys,

Aaron

You video just made me realised that I do not missed anything since I become a mother :). I think having a family and the baby changed everything in my life and since I’m 25 years old I thought I was missing something.. Now I know im not :) thanks! And Im waiting for you to give us one day great news that you’ll become a mummy! ;)
BTW, your outfit looked great :)

Greetings from Germany!!!

I never was permitted to date or even go out much with friends as a teen so the idea of going clubbing was new to me when I was in my early twenties. By then I was in college and met my boyfriend (now husband) and we never went clubbing, went to nice restaurants and had fun experiences in Cancun and Florida and spent our money other ways having fun. It never occurred to me to go clubbing until I had a friend ask me to go. I love music, dancing, and the occasional good drink but this combination without my husband would not be good. He led a big party life before he met me and literally exhausted his system of it all…he met me and said that there was no need to live that lifestyle now. Said he knew that guys only went to meet girls and to go home with girls or to date them. Just doesn’t really fit now, we’re married with two small boys and are happy with the good home movie, theatre, nice dinner, small outing with friends, you said my feelings right back to me! And this is for “H”…don’t worry about the pregnancy and what it does. I can tell you that I worked out in a mild way for at least an hour a day and did some weights to keep my arms toned and my doctors were amazed that I was even pregnant. Keep that muscle tone and it will help with your birthing process. I only went a size up in jeans, still wore trendy clothes, and felt great! I have two boys and they are healthy and I had no complications, stretch marks, or significant body changing that couldn’t be fixed within two months after giving birth. I nursed and that helps to shed some pounds. I gained 17 -20lbs during both and each baby weighed around 7 lbs. I weighed my normal weight of 114lbs. soon after giving birth. I just watched my portions and continued to be active in some way or other. Even if I just walked and listened to my ipod for an hour until I was able to run or do more strenuous workouts. I don’t regret that experience and my husband was very pampering! The joy your child gives far outweighs the temporary discomfort of the pregnancy weight. God bless!

Ahoj Zuzi,diky moc za ta cviceni a rady ohledne vyzivy,jsem z toho nadsena,obrovsky motivujes,díky!Koukam,ze ted jste v Cechach,jak dlouho se tu zdrzite? Napadlo me,ze nektery vikend kdybyste chteli prijet,tak bych vas u nas na chaloupce mohla hostit za to ze mi davas tolik energie pres internet :-) bydlime v Českem raji, tak bychom mohli Frederickovi ukazat take nasi ceskou chloubu,pokud mate cas a chut,ozvi se na muj mail.

I guess it is not only because of getting older, i thing its because we have a boyfriend. Since i have my boyfriend i prefer to go to a restaurant or something like that. When we went to a party, we had much fun. But its better to do something to relax-you know.
My Partytime was from 16-22. Know im 26 and old :-( But i still like to do some party, but not every weekend.

I think it has to do more with being married. You view things differently after you get married.

I think clubbing is fun when you go with your girlfriend or boyfriend. I don’t think your guys age is a problem at all! Next time go with your friends. But when Zu says that she’d rather have some nice lunch I don’t really know when you’re trying to keep fit and thin. For me here that’s not really an option because the food here sucks. I think you guys wised up and you see it as pointless. I think it stopped being fun for you guys because you guys are married. That’s what my friends do to go clubbing just to hook up. For me I go there to meet women. Zuzanna to get rid of wrinkles a proven solution is honey with equal parts of mineral water and you put it on your face and leave it there for fifteen minutes. Then pat dry. Do this three to four times a week. I only say this because you mention that you guys are getting old.

i love u zuzy!!! u r really lovely girl!!!

Interesting posts.
It really goes down to one thing, not necessarily age, but the number of years you actually clubbed when younger. It’s NOT 30, I turn 20 in June… and I since about a year ago, I find the whole clubbing deal extremely exhausting, I hate being surrounded by people that drink, it’s just not fun. I love to dance, but clubs- vip parties… nope.
I went to my first club when I was 10 (yes I’m ahead of my age group haha)I was the drinker that never got drunk, barely ate, partied all the time growing up in Paris.
I guess in my case it just took a number of years until i got sick of the routine, of meeting random people- “friends” in clubs, realizing how health is important (after a few health incidents due to drinking !!), and realizing that the people that tend to live in clubs like I used to are the complete opposite of what I aspire to be.
And also waking up in the morning after a long night always sucked, before i used to be able to go with 2 hours of sleep only for a LONGGG period… now I just can’t, one night out clubbing ruins my planned program for the next day or even two! Can’t help but think if I’m already getting older when I’m not even 20 ey! Lol age is really what you think you are and how you’ve lived. Can’t come down to a number in the end.
All the people my age of course do the clubbing at least every weekend, which is why I have close to no friends my age!

Hi Zuzana,

I hear you have a cold… Hope you feel better soon ;)

I bet the club scene didn’t help huh?

I’ve never been into clubbing but I’ve had my fair share of partying hard in my earlier 20′s too and it just gets really old really fast. I hate feeling like poo the next day and by the second day your still trying to recover. Now that I’m 30 I enjoy hanging out with my husband and two girls and lets not forget the occasional bottle of wine!

I know you’re not into supplements but crank up the viamin C so that you feel better sooner cuz I’m dying for a new workout :)

there is always a sense of loss when we can no longer do something or if we can’t get around to what we once loved. we tend to build up these events in our heads. they usually always reach a level of unattainable expectation. however priorities change and so does desire when we move on with our lives.

I stop clubbing in my early 30′s. I prefer to go biking than clubbing. Clubbing in Canada is more like “meat market”, meaning trying to pick up the opposite sex. I was a bouncer at club for one night, I got hired by my father found out and made me quit. It didn’t pay that much, it would basically cover cost of gas and some food.

I remember getting real drunk in my 20′s. So drunk I didn’t know where home was. However I had to work 10 am next morning, I was a little bit still drunk, however I still worked. By 5 pm I sobered up and I was to start drinking again! How foolish I was. hehehe
Only way I would go to clubs these days if I had a job as a bouncer.

i never liked clubs, i always prefered a party at a friends house or witout great parties just stay with friends at home and eat and drink.We’d stay up all night long.
Or i liked to go in some dim lit bars where i could drink good rhum,where the music was not too loud,and where i could have something tasty.
Nowadays, i’m 32, i still like parties, but don’t like the way i feel the day after that.
But still, sometimes i have homeparties, with fine beer (best and expensive beer ) and tasty food,stay up all night long.

Well, look out, when you have kids…you’ll step into the club, dance for 30 minutes and be ready to leave. :)

You made it a lot longer than I could have… 6:00! I’m 31 and whenever I go out I’m the party pooper that wants everyone to drop me off around midnight. Then, when I’m finally alone I take a shower, have some tea… then go to bed. I know I’m not missing anything!! :)

Hello Zuzana
Please help me!
I have been eating healthy, following your recipes, doing almost every different one of your exercises and have not had any sweets for 8 days now, and I gained 5 pounds. Soooo hate the way I look….
What set exercises do you have that will help me get rid of my belly?
Thank you Jessica

I have had 3 kids and am in better shape now than I was before kids. Especially now after following Zuzana for 3 weeks. My husband is soo impressed, and my friends are jealous, but I just pass on your website and say, well if I can do it, so can you. I am 5’6″ 116 lbs (I gained 3 lbs since starting, but I’m fairly certain its muscle because I can feel a huge difference in my muscles (bigger and harder lol) and my love handles etc. are nearly gone now. The only things I do are a bodyrock workout everyday and pick my kids up (they are 3,2 and 1 lol) It is definitely a load when someone says that the kids they had affected their body so much that they are just unable to get back into shape. Also, I gained 45 lbs when pregnant. So that doesn’t have anything to do with it either.

Hi Zuzanna, you looked awesome, but I must agree with you about the nite life. I can’t find that blue top with draw strings on side (Lululemon)that you wore to the party. I would love to get one.

Interesting topic. I went out to clubs when I was in college when I was much younger but after I turned 20 I got married and had my son 9 months after that… so I never did get to go out much in my 20′s. My husband was always deployed to Iraq or Afganistan so I didn’t feel like It would be proper for me to go out without him.

I am 29 now and do feel like I am missing out sometimes. I think it’s mostly because I am alone now. I do go out every once in a while but the places I go are not as wild looking as your party was. The parties and clubs here in Montana are very low key, live music and lots of dancing. I enjoy dancing, but it seems like there are too many guys out looking for someone to hook up with which can get annoying when your an uninterested single woman.

I think you are right, the older I get the less I care to go out too. I guess the issue for me though is that, even if I was looking for someone new in my life…it wouldn’t be someone I met in a bar *shrugs*.

Fred & Zuzana, your correct the night life start to be a problem at the age of 30. You think differently and you are more mature, all that is child’s pay. Plus, your body tells you–you just can’t do this anymore. Now, go enjoy the mature years and protect those healthy bodies.

-Marilyn

Don’t worry about it at all. If you are fit now, it is sooo easy to get back into shape after baby. Make sure you give yourself enough recouping time after, a lot of the weight you gain will just go naturally (a lot of it is extra blood and baby and all sorts of things) The day after my first baby was born I had lost something insane like 25 or 30 lbs lol. And then when you are ready, get back into it. Muscles remember, skin snaps back. It took me 6 months after my first to be in better than before baby shape and that was without working out. second and third only took 3 months and I had all my kids 1 year and 3 months apart. The only thing I dislike is I have stetch marks right in the front of my tummy. But I think if I lost more fat then they will go too… I have seen moms with lots of kids that are fitness chicks and they don’t have stretch marks, or a lot of excess skin on their tummys either :)

I found some pregnancy workout videos that I did that showed the different modifications to do as you get further along. Its not intense by any stretch but it does keep you limber and makes it easier to get back into shape after they are born.

i’m a little older than y’all, but enjoyed the club scene until recently…i think it is due more to changes we’ve made in lifestyle and routine…i can’t stay up and get up at 5am to go to Red’s (the health club here). maybe also…we’ve all grown up a little, finally!

I agree..
Im 25 and i dont think partying give me anything.. just a waste of money and time. I rather travel or do fun stuff at day time :)

I’m only 25 and I’ve been over the club scene since like 23, when you really think about what it does to your body and horrible you feel the next day it is really not that worth it! MY hubby and I have club night at our house and dance, but it ends at like midnight! Much rather have an awesome morning workout than a crazy club night!

I’m 38 and it’s been a long time since i’ve been to a club. I prefer a house party with friends, music and dancing. I think that’s more fun actually.
I agree with Sal – recovering from all-nighters is way harder after 30!!! I’ve gotten into tango and salsa/batchata and will go out to dance at a club that features these latin dances. With some lessons it’s great entertainment for couples. You should try it! …but sometimes Casino Royal can’t be topped (love that movie!!)

To me, life is made of many phases and the theme hmmmmm flavour if you like or a purpose of each phase, depends on many factors {people around us, work, free time activities, partners, our perception on us as individuals etc. etc}.

I think one of the biggest challenges nowdays is to be ourselves in this crazy World, that is invisibly dictating {media, magazines, TV, ship mentality} how we should feel, what we need, what’s considered old or young, what’s appropriate to do when you are a teenager or mid 30 or late 30 or 50 and so on, what looks good or ugly and more of those………….

If someone enjoys party lifestyle no matter what age, so what, as long as it’s not a way to compensate something that we lack {self confidence, friends – hard to find in clubs anyhow:-}} or a feeling that once we stop going out regularly, we will miss on something, which is only an illusion in my opinion. If a good quality and fun time means for others to hang out with friends, cook 3 course meal, drink some good wine and have a valuable and meaningful conversation, let it be – again, as long as it makes us happy and fulfills its purpose: having fun, getting social and feeling good the next day – able to join our daily routines without feeling hammered.

That makes me realize that in order to find out what we like, enjoy or need, very much depends on how much we know ourselves and if we are able to be straightforward to ourselves. Some might call it “narcissism” if I say, that the ability to love others and attitude towards others is determined by self love, self respect and other self……….. this to me is the foundation and grounding of everything.

Many people just spend their time by jugging others’ life styles, habits, looks and all that, which already indicates a lot about them. Some call others as not normal for holding their hands at age of 50, having crazy and fun sex at even more progressed age, doing high adrenalin activities and so on and so on. Well what’s normal then??????????????? Well, I wouldn’t worry about that too much hahahahahah. I don’t want to get infected by poison that others try to spread – I love to discover myself and reward others around me with positive, funny, self controlled and honest aura floating around my body shell:-}}}

Zuzko and Frederic, you are a great team – as it seems in all aspects of your relationship, just like symbiosis, which is wonderful – treasure it :-}}}

Hey Zuzana!
I have been following your blog for about 3 weeks now and I love it. This is my first post on here but I just thought that it might be interesting to some that I’m only 20 years old and feel the same way about going out to clubs already. I think that my turning point was at about 18. I can’t even drink out at clubs yet but I am already done with being out late at loud clubs. I would much rather sit at my boyfriend’s condo snuggling up watching movies.
Thanks for all of your great work outs and advice! Keep up the great work!

Hi Zuzana and Frederick.
I completely agree with the both of you.
I am 26 and my boyfriend is 33 and we don’t really go to clubs anymore. When I was 18 – 23 years old I would go to clubs all the time and when my boyfreind was about that age he said he was always going to the clubs to, but now that has changed.
I find that we have the most fun when we are with our friends or family at a lounge or at someones house drinking and talking and listening to music. Sometimes someone will bring their laptop over and we’ll all watch silly videos on youtube.com or something.
If I have a bunch of my girlfriends over we will crank the music up and just dance with eachother in the livingroom. Those are the best times that I have…. not at clubs where I cant hear anybody talk and theres too many people on the dance floor and you can’t move and the drinks are expensive…. its just not as fun.

I think also that another reason why the club wasn’t really fun for Frederick and you is because it was just the two of you going. Clubs are more fun when you have a bunch of friends to go with. I think you guys would have had more fun if you went to a lounge/bar that had a small band playing with a dance floor and it would have been much more relaxing but fun.

The only reason why I will still go to a club NOW is to dance my ass off because I know its great excercise! Really it is, especially for my waist because I always notice it’s firmer after a night of dancing.

I am 25 years old, and I feel like I have lost my love for clubbing, although whenever I am single… I seem to enjoy it again. But now that I am back in a relationship whenever I go out I feel like I have lost 10 years of my hearing and it is just an awful experience. I would much rather be around clean air and enjoy better life experienced than being around drunken flirty bodies… bumping into you all night.

Well said!

I think Frederick is right that after age 30 you move on to something else besides clubbing. Thinking back I believe it was soon after I reached 30 years old I just changed and started to spend my free time in more quiet surroundings. But I also remember going to clubs was a lot of fun.

Zuzana,
I am so glad this topic came up because I thought I was one of the few who feels the club scene tends to get old. Don’t get me wrong, going with the right crowd or people can be so much fun but not the same anymore. I am also 28 and feel like this is the turning point age…love to workout, be home, lounge and bar with friends and travel! :) Keep up the good work guys! Ya’ll are a great couple!

What are you wearing on your eyes? It’s stunning :D.

Thanks for the thoughts on the clubbing phenomenon vs. the working out phenomenon. It appears as though they are mutually exclusive. I find that when I choose to go out every so often, I am more likely to have an awesome time than if I were to go out regularly.

Here’s to kickin’ it at the crib.

Hello Zuzana and Frederick, I see there, that people can follow yours website on Twitter. Will you do that on Facebook too? I think then you can have a thousands of new fans…

Hi Zuzana,

This is definately off topic and a little embarassing to ask. But I was wondering about breasts and exercising. Since you exercise so much. Do you notice them to become smaller? I personally noticed as I exercise often, my breast become smaller. Do you know of any way to prevent this from happening?

-Bella

I’m too old to go clubbing and even if I was young enough I probably wouldn’t do it again. I remember those years where I would go out all night, drink myself silly then sometimes turn up to work an hour after I got home! There is no way I would have that kind of stamina anymore!

I much prefer to go out to a bar or restaurant or even stay in and cook. It’s nice to be around friends but in a club you can’t carry a conversation!

Also, I hate the idea of wasting my whole next day recovering!

Dee
Aussie Aussie Aussie, Dance like nobody’s watching!

I totally agree with you. After my first child was born (I was 22), me and my husband had a feeling that we are missing something, just like you said. And one day we left my daughter with my sister and went out. It wasn’t fun at all. All that time we were thinking if our baby was all right. Besides I looked around and saw all the people and I understood that I’m different now. Now we enjoy life different way. Rather than stay up all night and sleep half of the next day feeling exhausted, we get up early and enjoy the day.
The clubbing time has come and gone for us.

Hello everyone. I used to go out a lot from the age of 16 (it is legal in my country:-)) until 23 or 24. Then I stopped it, didnt see any point of that. Maybe it is also because I stopped drinking heavy alcohol and smoking. Anyway, during the last 3 years I went throung some great partie, but I would count them on my fingers. Now I prefer some good big rock concert, where I can really enjoy myself and evenings in some nice pubs or restaurants where I can talk and listen to some quiet music. My friend still consider me like a “party girl”, so time to time I go with them to clubs, but it is no fun for me anymore

I used to go out 3-4 times a week while I was still in college and even a little while after I graduated. I think my interest stopped around age 25. By then, I had been graduated from college for a few years and I was in a very serious relationship with a guy who didn’t care to go out, so we’d just stay home and watch movies (we’re engaged now :-D). We pretty much still do the same thing now, but I do go out when it’s a friend’s birthday or someone is visiting from out of town. Still, it’s not the same as I remember.

Me and my partner had this conversation a while ago.
He was never into clubbing and I was more into gigs and concerts… But we did go out to clubs with friends sometimes, about 5 years ago. (I am now 27 and he’s 33)
We always said the next morning “lets not do that ever again” but when someone invited us we never said no.
In the past 4 years we stopped going to clubs and we are more into friendly gatherings in someones house or a quiet pub.

P.S.
I find it interesting that most visitors on this blog said they dont go clubbing anymore even though they used to, and many of them said it was because of smoke/noise/heavy drinking/not sleeping all night/feeling crappy the next day. Meaning: the enjoyment of clubbing is not more important to them than their health.

I’m a Taurus too….YEAH, i’m May 19th

I’ll agree with Sal. Although it hit me a bit earlier (28-29), I prefer hanging out with friends in more quiet places, even playing board games. There are many suitable for adults and are more fun than feeling the bass in my ears for the rest of the night. In your 30s you have so much to talk (and worry) about that the stress from clubing is needless

I met my wife Cheron in a club and we have never been happier together. However, we have never been back to a club either. We were about 30 years old when we met and once we found our happiness in each other, we knew that the club was really just a place to meet single people. We go out with our friend bowling, dinner or just a movie night. We don’t think it’s funny you don’t like that blaring music and punks trying to flirt.

It started for me at about 28. My party town was Austin, Tx. (closest thing we have to Prague). After a while I noticed the same people over and over just at different clubs and we were all getting older. The younger partiers were at the other clubs. It just became too routine and lost it’s excitement. Oh well… I’m 47 now and trying to keep up with your excercises and that exciting to me and a challenge. Thanks and na sledanou.

I used to go clubbing 2 – 3 nights a week, but I found that around 25 years old my body could no longer handle the loud music, swarms of people, and amount of alcohol being ingested. It would take me the entire next day and sometimes the day after that too, to recover and feel human again. By the time I hit 29, I no longer went to clubs but would rather sit around with a bunch of friends, a couple bottles of wine and a BBQ.
I think age has a lot to do with the whole clubbing scene and I am soo glad I have out grown it all.

I came out of the party scene at about 27 when I got married. My husband and I tried to experiment with it alittle but like you guys, we found no enjoyment in doing so. I’m now 30 and can find so many other pleasant things I’d rather be doing instead.

Hey Zuzana:) and Frederick so you don’t feel stapped on :p
well to be honest i totally agree with both of you..I left my home when i was 15 and since then i knew nothing but clubbing, smoking, drinking, doing different things and having 1500 names on my calllist that i don’t remember where i met..Now it’s not a turn on for me anymore..i have some few friends, family and a nice husband which i am with and settled down..life is much better without this stressful music..and i just turned 22 so it can happen younger than 30 if you had quite a wild life ”like this girl”in earlier age..
peace and love to you

Hello Zuzana and Fredrick. Im 27 and i have never really enjoyed the whole club thing although i am a fabulous salsa dancer. but the thing is what the hell is the point. i use to think that maybe im just a boring person and maybe its me that is “not getting it”. but Id rather much enjoy playing my sax or reading or even watching a good movie. Its hard finding persons of my age to relate to who really prefer my kinda fun and i gatta say a great book or a great movie like SUPER for me,… .well lets just say its hard finding a date. lol

On a side note I wanted to ask Zuzanna, when you colored your hair, what color is that? It looks gorgeous! Did they do highlights? Lowlights?

Our facebook is here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/BodyRockTV/275912351798?ref=nf

awesome!

I started slowing down with that whole scene around 27 but completely stopped at 29. I went to a LOUD club with a friend because she wanted to go out and all I could do was think about my boyfriend and how much I wished I were with him instead and just how loud the music was. The music was so loud it was making me feel sick. Like a lot of people above me have said, looking around at the crowd I just didn’t feel like I was a part of them anymore because my life had changed. I used to be able to drink a lot more and deal with it better than I can now. It was like I turned 30 and everything changed including my tolerance for alcohol. I can usually only have one glass of wine or beer whereas before I drank myself silly with friends and would get up the next day on a few hours of sleep and function like nothing happened and then go out again the next night. I am much happier now renting a movie and staying at home, or cooking a nice meal, or reading a book. So for me the answer is no, clubbing is not fun anymore. :o)

Ohhh! and Zuzana!!! I wanted to share something with you that I thought you might like to hear. I bought myself one of those BodyBugg things (you wear it on your arm and it counts calories) anyhow….I did an experiment. One week I did my regular workouts at the gym, such as their bootcamp class, aerobics, weight training and when I plugged my bodybugg into my computer I averaged 6.4 calories burned per minute in those classes (and the Bootcamp is an interval class). The next week I did your awesome Tabata style workouts and guess what???? I averaged 11.4 calories per minute with your workout, dripped with sweat, and held a longer afterburn too! So….that proved to me in a more concrete way that your workouts are more effective at burning calories…which explains to me why working out with you has been more effective than what I was doing with my trainer, which I already knew but it’s nice to have actual evidence as to why. I was soo excited about it that I had to share that with you!! I love your workouts and thanks so much for sharing your life in Malta with us. I am excited to see what Prague looks like. :o)

i completely agree on this topics also, it didnt take me too long to get fed up with clubs as i was bored by the time i was 20 also like someone else mentioned previously… however i live in England so we can drink earlier and therefore i had the full experience from 18 drinking in clubs and bars. However now i much prefer going to a queit bar and catching up with a few friends… or even better the local park/beach/mountains to av a good walk chat and social time… in lovely fresh air :) you guys should check out North Wales sometime if you ever get a chance to head over to Britain as its an incredible place full of history, lovely fresh mountains and the most incredible beaches.

Hope your hearings good after the clubbing experience.

Crazy Cardio
2 rounds of all 8 exercises, no rest between, push hard

1. 150 skips any variation, scissors, jacks, double jump, high knees
2. 50 mountain climbers, pull your knees up high to your chest
3. 50 bike crunches go slow, feel the burn, lay on your back put your hands behind your ears, knees bent 90 degrees feet off the ground, not put right leg out straight, don’t let your foot touch the ground (the closer your leg gets to the ground the harder) and twist your right elbow to your left knee, now switch sides, this is a very controlled motion
4. 20 burpees with jumps no push up
5. 20 plie squats, legs spread further than your hips, now squat down and come up with a jump
6. 26 reptile start in push up position now pull your right knee to your right elbow and then do the left knee to the left elbow
7. 50 chest lifts, this work out burns! lay on your stomach, fingers behind your ears and now lift your chest up, controlled motion
8. 100 low jacks, put your fingers behind your ears squat a little with legs together, now jump legs apart and keep the slight bent in your knees, now jump back together

I took me 16 minutes and 21 seconds to complete this. I think next time I will do 3 rounds instead of 2. My shoulder started hurting though so I stopped after 2. Have fun! Give it a try!

pLEASE DON’T TELL ME YOU TWO ARE STILL HUNG OVER….I’M GOING THROUGH WITHDRAWL…NEED A NEW WORKOUT! :)

Hey Bella,

As you lose weight primarily body fat, your breasts will become noticably smaller. That is because breasts have a good amount of fat in them. I lost 20 pounds and have gone down 2 cup sizes myself. Unfortunately, there is little you can do about it except maybe invest in some great push up bras. If I myself wasn’t so tight on cash or such a scaredy-cat I probably would opt for breast augmentation but, I’ll just have to adjust and accept the change. LOL… My two cents ;)

You sound very mature for 20…

Clubing isn’t what it use to be anymore. As we get older there are things that change and we grow out of and into. Depending the club, music and who you’re with has a lot to do with it. Im tired of the standard Clubs here in the states whether im in Southern California, Vegas or Miami. But going once in awhile to break loose is all good. Just have good company and choose music you really like and it works out, however, i agree that clubs are not what they use to be. Must be this new generation coming in ;)

Couldn’t agree more. I would much rather do something funny than ruin a whole day (or two) by having hangovers and being lazy. When others choose to go clubbing I choose to spent the day at home relaxing in order to be fit for a run, a workout or a dive trip. That’s when I feel the best anyway.

Same here. I prefer to go see a film or go to a pub with some live music. Although I do enjoy dancing, it’s not something that I would like to do til the wee hours of the morning. I prefer places where I can still hear my friends and have a nice conversation.

You look gorgeous in this pic. At 33 yrs. clubbing is fun maybe 1-2 times a year because it is fun to get dressed up and feel sexy. But, I do prefer the simple things in life such as nature, friends and family, being healthy. I feel uncomfortable at clubs because people are trying too hard and not being themselves.

I’m 26 today and i’m still clubbing like I did 10 years ago when I started. But the main reason why I go to clubs is music. I dance all night to the music that i love and meet new/old people. I’m always sober and almost every clubbing is awsome – but then again – I carefully choose events, because I don’t like big crowded clubs with just any dj… and the great thing is that I met my boyfriend in the club 6 years ago that is just like me and since then we are clubbing together :)

Hi Andrea,

I never said that the shipping was cheap and unfortunately it’s not, but I just couldn’t find anything like this here in Europe. If anyone finds any other website or source for this equipment please let us know.

I think the big issue with clubs is the cigarette smoke, not how old you are. I’m 43 and my wife is 35 and we still love to dance until our feet hurt. But unless I take a lot of alcohol I simply cannot stand the smoke. And trying to run or bike the next day is torture. Forget about swimming. It usually takes me about 2 to 3 weeks to recover from a night of dancing in cigarette smoke. 4 or 5 nights of that over a year just hammer my triathalon training.

Hi Zuzana,

Here in Miami, Florida I purchased the same door frame pull up bar for $35.00 dollars. I cannot believe the price they quoted Andrea. The pull up bar also came with detachable arm straps you can use for leg lift abdominal work. I purchased these items at http://www.walgreens.com and you can probably get it cheaper at http://www.walmart.com or http://www.sportsauthority.com. I have not seen the floor dip bar you are using but I am sure it can be found on the website. Good Luck!

I’ll preface this by saying that using equipment or devices in ways they are not intended to be used can be dangerous and that people should use their own judgement. Anyway, ever since seeing the Ultimate Body Press, I’ve been racking my brain trying to think of what it reminds me of. Then I remembered: a walker! Those things the elderly or people who need help walking around use for stability. A medical walker, especially one without wheels, theoretically could be repurposed as a dip station. I don’t know how much they cost, but if you found one for cheap at a yard sale or medical supply store, you may consider trying it. If you are really handy, you can just also make your own using PVC piping.

hey zuzana :) cheers from brazil.
i totally agree. clubbing is just not worthy! you loose the day after, even if you don’t drink alcohol.
I’d rather go to a nice restaurant or a bar.. or just go to the movies! And btw,it’s not cause i’m old.. i’m only 20! :)

[...] Read the original here: Is Clubbing Still Fun? [...]

I just looked at the “Amazon” website, they have it for $99 and it seems shipping is free.
Maybe that will work.
Kevin

I found the same with Ultimate Body Press not being able to deliver, but found Iron Gym in my local B&Q (http://www.jmldirect.com/currency/EUR/The-Original-Iron-Gym-PI8700/)

It’s the same pull up bar that Zuzana has, sold by JML.

I’m fit enough, but can’t do a single pull up!!! Ouch…need to keep trying. Is it ok that I do a little jump to start the pull up? It’s still a challenge for me, so I figure it’s ok.

Hi guys.
It’s so true what you just said. I used to drink very often, but then i got a new boyfriend,he doesn’t drink, I love that though. Anyways, it ended up with my friends moving and I didn’t go out as much, then like, last week i felt like going out, that I was missing everything. but when I got there and drank I just realised that, actually i haven’t missed as much, I just think I’ve changed because I jused to have a lot of fun. But realising that you don’t have to be drunk to have fun, is so much better. If you’re hangover the day after, at least I end up not doing my workout, allowing myself to eat junk and so on. I still go out,but just drink a couple of drinks,I don’t get drunk anymore,and try to drink as little as possible, the day after (usualy sunday) is so much more fun, and you suddenly got one more extra day befor work, so there’s realy no downside to not go out as much.. And to think I*M ONLY 18 !! People has commented on me,” omg. why don’t u drink, is it because ur boyfriend don’t? ” and so on, but, really I don’t care anyone, just in the face to learn to have fun sober while beeing out clubing :-) Much moe healtyer and fun , AND you remember everything you do and see what everyone else does:-p Truly fun.

So yes, understand what you mean, eventhough I’m just 18, only been drinking for 3-4 years :-) enough for me.
Still go out clubbing! so much fun meeting people you wouldn’t meet everyday. So NOOOOO you’re not getting old or anything,I personaly think it’s just now you realised what I kind of have.

haha sorry about the looooong reply. Just really understond this post.

HI ZuzaNa,

I contacted another company that had only the pull up bar and the shipping only for that was 150$ ….the thing is that i don’t know with what i could substitute the routines from the pull up bar and te dip station…thanks for the reply …you are really sweet…hopefully you are feeling better …and i’ve searched just like and there isn’t anything like that in europe…i found something from japan and US and that’s it…if it hadn’t been for the bad weather that er are having here…IT”S SNOWING LIKE CRAZY for the last 4 months…it’s not fare…!!!

Hey Andreea!

you can always find cheaper ways to order for exemple from amazon.co.uk , i have used it and they ship and u can find some of the thing zuzana uses in her videos but probably from a different brand.

Do you train at home? I’m trying to get my sister into training like zuzana but it’s hard! :)) how do you do it?

Hi Fred and Zuzana,

I think you just grew older :-)) I’m experiencing this last 7-8 years (34) and it is not only staying out long nights but also my body can’t handle too much alcohol anymore. I think there are two parts in it. One is that my interests have moved to other things which are simply not present at the parties, and second is that my physical body can’t keep up and needs more rest. You be better prepared getting older :-))

Btw. in other video I saw you drinking Budvar. If you are big fun of beer I recommend Plzen. You don’t have hang-over next day (or at least not that big as from Budvar :-))

Best regards

I too had trouble finding a dip bar so I purchased an older style walker (for seniors) that looks almost the exact same as the dip bar, but for a fraction of the cost. It has an extra bar in the front for stability but it doesn’t seem to get in the way of dips or push ups. It also has the padded handles on the top the same as the dip bar. Just make sure the bottom does not have wheels. I hope this helps. Thank you Zuzana for the wonderful workouts. I can now do 20 push ups on my toes and for the first time in my life I am able to do 2 whole chin ups. :)

HI Tania,

thanks for the site…it says there free shipping …i want to contact them but they don’t have an area that says about contacting them…how did you do it…please reply..thanks…i’m in europe as in romania does the free shipping apply to my country too?!!!..

I have to say this is part of maturing in life , some people grow out of it some people dont . The reality is that the mayority of people who club are always in the hunt for something exiting in their life. I have discover a million ways to have fun in life without the hangover and the terrible smell of smoke. :)

Andreea, and everyone,

I have a pull up bar similar to Zuzana’s that is only collecting dust here. So if we could figure a way to ship it I would be happy to give it to you, Andreea. I’m a “fan” of Bodyrock.tv on Facebook and have commented there before so you could contact me thru that system. (my last name doesn’t start with L…much further down the alphabet…22?)

Mel and Selina get my geniuses award!

Here in the USA you can purchase a use walk at a thrift store for just a few dollars so maybe if you look around for something similar…

On making your own Dip Station: You could also just buy some plumbing pipe and assemble a station.

Here is my part’s list for such a thing:
(all are 3/4 inch galvanized steel pipe)

8- 90 degree elbows
2- “Tee”*
2- 12 inch long pieces of pipe
7- 24 inch long pieces of pipe
2- 36 inch long pieces of pipe

My link (purple) in my name will have a drawing of the whole thing assemble. You will need a couple pipe wrenches and tighten this up really good. Maybe even use some superglue or loctite in the joints after complete assembly.

*You may need a couple nipples and couplings to make up the added length of the Tees so try laying out the whole thing at the store first.

BTW, just to protect myself from litigious folks: I don’t say you should use this for any exercises or anything possibly dangerous. 8-)

Hi guys,

I’m 43 married with 2 kids (age 6 & 3). I can tell you it is an age thing, I still love listening to the dance, house, trance music etc but would probably feel very old and out of place if I were to go back to a club now! The big advantage of getting older is that you require less sleep, between 5 & 6 hrs is normal!

Keep up the good work on your videos they are great

Hi guys ,

Being a great fan of the discipline and inovation you put into your fitness challenges , I recently began reading your blog – and even here there is much motivation to be found , really I like this ,- do continue !

Well as to the fun in clubbing vs age , to me 45 as now ,and still managing to go out til early mornings on weekends , while exercising fitness and martial arts during the week , is proove enough that age really doesn’t count , but the reason why you still go out ! For a single like me -its obvious , meeting people and discovering new places and music tendances vs staying at home and feeling bored .Mixing with younger people kept my mindset young , a thing I observed some old friends of mine ,who now only stay home, do lack completely by now …

You both however are , symphatic fitness-enthousiastics ! Nightclubbing at any age wouldn’t have competed long with the excitement , you do experience every day ,living together as a couple !

As for the new clubs nowadays , well I agree they don’t really are fun anymore , they tend to be overcrowded and much too noisy – yet alternatives always can be found , lifepubs , late-night lounges and after-event-partys fex. I have been twice at Praha and enjoyed all those .Finally having fun is independant of age , daytime or places , its an emotion you share in the right mood with your friends or companions – don’t fear ageing enjoy the journey ;.)

I think you hit it on head! Going to lounges is more or less appropriate, and what 30 on up would consider fun! I’m with you Fredrick, 30 is the magic age where some of us begin to realize, it’s not as fun as it used to be..Umm, I think it’s called maturity! Lol, plus when trying to live a healthy lifestyle and know you may have to work out the next day, clubbing isn’t exactly as appealing as it used to be. Lounges are more up my alley. There’s really not that much pressure to drink as much, and I find I can have an intelligent conversation with my friends, husband without having to scream on the top of my lungs because of the music being so loud!
Great blog and please keep up the great work

Ese

Don’t agree!
Everything in life in sould be done in moderation and you two have just prob brunt your selves out when you were younger. And most couples don’t do large clubs anyway, its more for singles.

Dancing is the best exercise especially salsa and Merengue You did not have to stay out to 6am in the morning, that was a choice on the your part.

In conclusion, You have the rest of your life to be boring, WHY START NOW? Just because you both are in your 30′s don’t mean you both have to act like old farts, lol.

I think it’s not about how old you are
But rather about how long you’ve been clubbing
here in switzerland you can start drinking at age of 16
so every single weekend from the age of 16 you’re partying,dancing,drinking at the club, parties etc… Averaging 100parties a year, that makes around 500parties so far. So obviously after a certain point you feel like it’s just gonna be a remake.
I’m 21, and most of the time we go out I find it borring.
I just go out for the people. If it wasn’t for them, I’d rather stay home and grab some hours of sleep.
Also did you notice that during the week you’re super tired and you can’t wait for the weekend to start so you can finally have a rest. BUt when the weekend comes, your phone rings and people are like “Ok can you come please, there’s this party and blablabla”
So you end up being even more tired than your days at work.
But anyways, yes I do feel the same and I rather think it’s about how long you’ve been partying.

Ahoj Zuzano! Zdravím Tě z České Republiky!
Je skvělé,že svoje videa publikuješ na youtube. Dozvěděl jsem se tak konečně,jak správně cvičit abych nevypadal jak sud :-D Obdivuju Tě za to,co jsi dokázala a buď ve svém úsilí i nadále vytrvalá. Stojí to opravdu za to ;-)

We are not both in our 30′s and I kinda think you missed the point of what we said :)

In my case I was into partying when I was between 15 and 18 the I was into meditation and yoga, and then by 30 I got a second air for partying, which ended about 5 years later. Now I rather get together with some friends, get some drinks and listen music from around the world. You know, a little more intimate.

I love your routines, by the way!
Ciao!

I totally agree with you. I just turned 35 this month (march 1st) I don’t even have kids yet but I just don’t feel the satisfaction that I used to when going clubbing. I would much rather stay home and have friends in for drinks and games or listen to music and order food. Or go to a nice restaurant or even a pub like you mentioned and talk over a nice bottle of wine and some food. I think as you get older you just shift gears into different things that are more meaningful in your life. I still like to dance and have fun with friends but I just prefer to do it in a different atmosphere.

Cheers . :)

Hey Zuzana,

i agree with you, i have a lot of fun in the gym and at my trainings. I feel that my body is broken after a clubbing night.

Anyway, i will come in Prague to white sensation in may :)

Different things for different people. I don’t think it’s an age issue but more of preferences and life experiences. I am in my late twenties and never liked clubbing. A year ago I started LOVING electronic music festivals. Still don’t go clubbing but those few days long events few times a year are just fantastic. I am more aware of what music I enjoy, what crowd I dig and what is a waste of time in my books. Age is not really an issue, that’s my take.

Tak jsem objevil tvoje videa s cvičením na youtube a dostal se tak na vaše stránky a moc ti fandím. Dám se asi taky na cvičení. Vypadáš úplně perfekt. Jsi skvělá.

you are soooo gorgeous!! :)

Hi Mannin,

I think that many women would agree with me that it’s not the muscles that we admire the most on guys, however I understand how you feel. You will achieve the best and fastest results if you start to look at fitness as your new lifestyle, instead of some torture that you feel like you must do. You just need to look at the whole thing from a different perspective.

To jsem prece nemohla vedet :) Ja se tim clankem samozrejme vsude chlubim.

I am telling you guys that the intensity is the key :) I am glad that you did this experiment and and saw the evidence. I will share your comment with everyone in my next post.

Hi Adreea, the shipping is not cheap that’s for sure.

Your not the only ones!!! I feel exactly the same, 25-26 that’s how old I am, but look very young for my age (still get ID’d all the time, which is 18 here). I think also if you are in a relationship the appeal of clubbing seems a bit futile. Also I think it depends on type of club/music.

Give me a nice pub, fez bar/lounge any day, somewhere where you can be with friends and relax rather then some ‘artificial’ environment where you need to take illicit substances to ‘really’ have a good time.

My Wife and I feel the same way. We are married and have a 2 year old daughter; I’m 35 and my Wife is 28. It’s just not the same anymore when we go out.
We both have worked in bars as bartenders, and I have also managed night clubs. We have lots of friends still in the business and friends that go out every weekend. When we start thinking we’re missing out, we’ll plan a weekend trip to catch up. It’s great to see friends, but the “fun” of clubbing/bar hopping is gone. We still enjoy kicking back a few drinks but the night life is gone.
It’s funny going back to some of the old bars and clubs I use to work at to find the same people doing the same old thing.

Aww that’s sad! be young forever!

HEY Zuzana!

You’re comfortable with wearing your sweat pants in front of the camera now. We have taken it to the next level ;)

We’re 31(Chris) and 29(Linda), in Prague, and are of the same opinion. The thing is..when you’re older and in a relationship, you realize that conversation and relaxation with a small group of friends is far more rewarding to your overall well being. Also, sporty people find drinking and clubbing really tough on their bodies..I find now it takes us 2 days to recover from a night out+the night..that’s 3 days of good sporting activities we lose out on. Since you’re now living on the island how often do you guys travel to CZ for visits?? rgds Chris n Linda

Hey guys. Im a single male, 49 and I have been through what you’re talking about. I think you go through fazes. In your teens and twenties you party hard, go to clubs and get used to waking up with a hangover. You hit 30, you concentrate on work and friends more. I hit 35 and was out clubbing again for about 4 years and then it was quiet time again. 42 I moved to Prague from L.A. and of course I had to hit every bar and club in CZ. Came back to L.A. for some quiet time but I am returning to Prague and will start again. You will find when you’re single, it is more fun at the clubs than when you are in a relationship. Keep up the great work on your site!

Hi Chris,
Zuzana grew up here so we are often back and forth in our travels.

haha :)

Hi,

Zuzana and Frederick kindly let me post an article on the steel pipe DIY Dip Station and here is a link to it: http://www.bodyrock.tv/2010/03/18/a-homebuilt-dip-station/

–Chris

ABOUT page has some error – sth with database connection. Great stuff here. And damn, 28 years doesn’t sound like old. I’m only 27 though. :P Greetings from Poland!

haha I’ve had this almost exact same conversation too! Being 29 I feel I’ve seen clubs and now I prefer to actualy hear what my friends say and go to restaurants, travel or just stay at home. I guess it doesn’t mean you’re really getting older we just transform or grow out of it into something different.

Guess it’s like being a cetterpillar becoming a butterfly. I think at 29 I might have half of one butterfly wing out and I might get complete at 50 or something like that. Like we see more, get more confident and glowy from the inside with years:)

Zuzana & Fredrick
I wish you all the best, you both have so natural feelings and share your life & experience with pride and courage with others.
Thanks for the videos and great (crazy tough) excercises, and the meal recipes also !
Damian

Hey guys,
first of all, thanks for giving me the umpf again to work out and be healthy!
Had a few bad years and somehow I turned myself into smoking and bad food, which totally affected my whole health.
So, although we choose our own path, thanks for all that ;)
About the clubbin’ thing..
Lived in NYC for almost ten years and loved the night life, went back to europe, and all of a sudden after a few years the taste was gone.
Thought it was the environment but it all has to do with the path we follow and allow.
It doesn’t mean that boredom comes in, it just means that we passed the insecurity. The unknown draws to people and we absorb because of it.
Its all about looking and being looked at, and hoping you will be noticed by the right crowd, so the need for physical attention gets answered.
So, if you passed that point, why still dwell in that world?
In our universe all is about progression, we cannot manipulate or alter it. Man kind wants to, but you see what happens…
Go with your flow, don’t say to yourself that you are old, you are just progressing and discovering that what you used to do is not interesting anymore.
A good conversation while drinking or dining and talking about life in general is worth more and gives just more food for the brain, which in its turn is good for our health.
Personally.., nature, a camp fire, a good bottle and company makes my life always a lot more interesting.
And when you want to go wild, have a skydive and smile for the rest of the week :)
Cant wait to run through the woods again this weekend, keep up the good stuff and feel better soon!
Alex

Clubbing is a destructive past time kids need to get out of quick. Clubbing now days is all about DRUGS.

Hey!

I think clubbing can be a really great experience, and it can always be fun if you do it with the right people and in the right place. You can find 4 of the greatest ingredients of life: Music, friends, the relaxing effect of a few drinks, and if you`r single it also offers you the possibility of finding someone special.
As we grow old ( 30 or older), fist of all we find less and less people our age, we start appreciating more the deep contact with others (clubbing is everything but deep), the hang over is devastating, and y if we have a couple, the thrill of the “hunt” goes away. And at 30. most of us have find and form our group of friends and we rather have their company on a more intimate place, where you can enjoy deeper conversations. The way we enjoy people basicly changes.
But in the right ocasion, with the right company, the right place and the right music, clubbing will always be fun.

Hi guys,

I’ve been lurking in and out of this website for a few months now. I must that you guys are doing a great job. Keep up the great work.

When I saw your topic “Is clubbing still fun?” I had to check it out. I’m 35 now and I can honestly say that I don’t get out much anymore and I am completely happy about it too. :)

Partying and clubbing was a lifestyle for me, from my early twenties to the age 26 or 27 or so. I traveled many countries, with some very well known DJ’s and I wouldn’t trade those memories and experiences for anything in the world.

Do I miss it……?? It’s a ‘mixed bag emotions’ kind of answer for me. I can do without the club scene(s).

However I have some friends who are DJ’s. And going out 5 or 6 times a year to watch them play and just meet new people is very kewl. But the physical symptoms the next day is kinda hard to deal with. Unfortunately, I’m not one to go “easy” once I get in the “groove.” =P

For some of us it can be considered the “getting older and wiser” syndrome, or as the saying goes; “Been there….done that!” :)

Your mind set, is key and the environment always helps i.e. friends, music, lights, large crwowds, small crowds also are the people pleasant….

I try to refrain, from any prejudice, or judgement of any kind in any particular situation. I say make the best of it…and don’t do it too often, so the novelty wears off. If it’s a special orccasion ie. a famous DJ is coming to town, or a friends Brithday or something…..I dunno…..lol then DO IT.

If you’re not one for dancing and you’re getting dragged out by your girl or man……bring some friends with you who can keep them entertained on the dance floor. So you can focus more on your people watching skills. ;) lol

God Bless & Godspeed.

Namaste

I always loved to go out with my best friend to clubs but now I am 26, married have a 2 yr old son and 5 yr old daughter. My husband laughs at me b/c I always say I think I am old but I am really still young but the partying life, it just isn’t for me anymore being a mom and wife. My husband and I will go out to small bars together but we like to just stay home and sometimes have friends over for drinks. I would rather be at home making memories with my babies! I know I am still so young and I am in good shape for having 2 kids, I am 5’1 and 108 lbs. I have started your workouts last week just so I can tone my body and have energy. I love all of your workouts and this site!

My wife and I had almost the exact same experience this weekend. Both of us are about 35, and we danced all night until 0400. Thanks to you, Zuzana, we were able to outpace all the twenty-somethings. My wife even turned most of the dancing into an abs and thighs workout.

Unfortunately, it took us two days to recover. Not from drinking or dancing, but from lack of sleep. When we went to bed at 0500, the kids still got up at 0700.

We agreed that it will be at least two years until we do it again.

But…It looks like I am actually going to Prague (from NYC) in the next couple of weeks. Of course, when I travel, I have to go out with my co-workers. So, though I know I will regret it, I will do it again very soon.

(Any suggestions for Prague would be appreciated. SaSaZu looks a little too crowded.)

Thanks,
John

hey:)

clubbing is over rated!!!
its so expensive and you can hardly meet people!, it is so much fun to go somewhere to talk with friends, and it is so much better to meet people where their first instict isnt to put their hands up your dress!
and i am very young so its not just because you guys hit an ” age” where is isnt fun anymore,
i love dancing, but because everyone their seems to just be trying so hard to have fun it just ruins it,

well it was fun when i was underage!!

-Andrea:)

I too have 3 children. People ask me if they are my “little brothers” =)

I know many woman who manage to get back in shape (and in better shape) after pregnancy.

Here is the next challenge in life for Zuzana; have kids and try to keep your shape or to stay in shape for that matter. That will inspire more women like my wife, for sure that struggle to find ways to stay in shape.

I am planning on doing that as well, but I think that I still have some time for that :)

I don’t think the feeling you mentioned in the video is due to age. I think it is maturity. I am only 22, but I am definitely more fond of gathering with good people, around good food, to have good conversation. Compared to going to a club or bar, to get to know someone, when I cannot even hear them right across the table from me… I think self care comes with maturity and we are realizing that it is important to take care of our body, mind, and soul all together – which includes getting sleep at critical hours of the night, protecting my ear drums, and having quality time and conversation with people whom I care about! Let me know what you all think about my thoughts. =) Thanks for reading! =)

agreed as you get older the appeal of the club scene gets old fast especially if your in a relationship. Its seems like a meat market when you go and its so loud and there are so many way to drunk people. A pub or resaurant sounds much nicer.

Actually, I’m only 21 and I’m already sick of the clubbing scene. After doing it for 3 years straight without skipping a beat, this year I noticed how much I actually don’t like it anymore, even though it was the most fun I could have had before. My friends go out a lot and drink a lot, but I just don’t get into that mood anymore. Sometimes I get convinced to go and decide to go with my friends just to find myself wanting to leave after 10 minutes of being inside. I am in committed long distance relationship which could be part of the issue since I sort of enjoy it with him. It just seems like there’s no purpose and I really don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything at all except people fighting or trying to flirt with me.

I Never Liked Going to Discoteque and Clubbing..Don’t know why… It’s Not My Style i think… my Ymess ID is lord_lukas69

Hi zuzana, your website is excellent I have been really enjoying the workouts and you look amazing!!!

I definetly do not find clubbing as appealing as I used to. I am 24 years old and I used to go out every weekend for about 5 years solid. I have been working out for the past year and cut down on drinking and the partying and what a difference it has made in my well being! I do think as you dedicate yourself 100% to a goal or a new lifestyle you find other interests. I have friends who are djs so I do still go out have fun and enjoy the nights but I do not drink alot(and cannot drink like I used to lol!) I much prefer to feel fresh and back on track for my workouts the next day. Everythings great I say in moderation ;)

When can we see your husband? boyfriend? He has a cute voice…!

Yeah, I did the same thing Friday and “forgot it wasn’t that fun.” Fortunately, it didn’t take me until 6 am to figure that out. When you get 30+ and you’re single, the best thing is to find someone with very common interests to your own and do those things OR just spend time with a group of friends. It’s also important to get out and socialize but you don’t have to go clubbin. Personally, I’ve gotten more into the outdoors and into experiencing it. It keeps my perspectives fresh.

Ahoj Zuzko!
dneska mi moje klientka preposlala odkaze na tvoji website ( jsem taky ve fitness), a hned mi po prvnich minutach doslo, ze jsi Ceska!Ty nase rrrr!:-)

I love dancing but it’s not easy to find a good club. Mostly they are becoming expensive, the air inside is not good (people smoking etc.). Just don’t like to ruin my wallet, get drunk because the it’s boring there and stink like a pig the next day like I smoked packs of cigarettes.

When it’s not fun anymore it’s time to do something else :)

And when the club is very good? When I can stay sober the whole night and enjoy it.

Nowadays we rather go play bowling or something, so we can talk etc. which is impossible in clubs.
Just have fun whatever you do :)

———————

Miluju tancování, ale nejen poslední dobou je těžké najít dobrý klub. Převážně v nich začíná být docela draho pro normální lidi a vzduch v klubech je většinou tak zakouřený že druhý den je oblečení na vyprání. Nerad utrácím a opíjím se jen proto abych se dostal do nálady protože jinak bych se v klubu cítil mizerně.

Když už to není zábava je čas začít dělat něco jiného :)

A co je pro mne výborný klub? Takový kde nemusím zjišťovat kolik stojí pití protože pití prostě nepotřebuju a bavím se i bez něj.

Poslední dobou chodíme hrát bowling kde si můžeme alespoň popovídat a i tak je to zábava :) V klubech se povídat defakto nedá a už jsem i zažil že hudbu měli tak hlasitou že druhý den jsem si připadal jak když mě někdo klepal s hlavou celou noc.
Důležité je se bavit ať budete dělat cokoliv :)

(je mi 24)

You’re writing exactly about me, Zuzana!:) As you may know very well, in Czech Republic we have clubs and pubs full of cigarette smoke which I completely hate, I enjoy nor clubs, neither pubs in CZ.

Now I’m studying for one semester in the UK where this problem is solved by prohibiting smoking in those public areas, but another problem occured: In clubs the music is so loud that you can’t hear a thing. And pubs? They usually close at 11pm (in city where I live) and it’s really not a problem (before 11pm) to meet some of those people who think you are interested in curiosities about their sexual lives in first time you see them.

Am I missing something by watching your videos rather than going out at night?:)

And I should probably add I’m 22 now and have been experiencing it for cca. 2 years already. It’s not really my cup of tea…I’d rather have a cup of tea:)

Sounds like you either you guys or that club became very boring during the last couple of years. Please don’t judge sourly for all of us.

I am 21 and I feel the same way too… I think it is different for different people. I just got all that out of my system at a young age and now I would rather relax at home or go outside and do something that makes me feel good.

Wow, I hear ya. I used to be able to stay out all night and party but my body just hates it now. I feel all hung over even without drinking. I’m much much older than you guys but I think I probably stopped partying around your age. Keep up the good work you two!

I think you start losing interest for clubs, when you are 35-37 years old ! :) Until then, you just party like an animal :D.

Oh, and about Casino Royale, Yep, you should definetly rent it or buy it , it’s a great movie ! I think it’s better then Quantum Of Solace ! :] You will enjoy Casino Royale.

I don’t think that it matters …but you have an awesome body ! :) Keep up the good job. Cheers !

Look – I´m 17 years old, and I think it´s a waste of time going out clubbing. It´s simply boring, meaningless somehow – I´d rather go to a resturant instead, or on a trip out in the beautiful nature. Maybe I´m just old-fashioned for my age :)

Oh by the way, if you have hangovers – The best (and at the time, hardest) thing to do is running a couple of miles, that really gives you your energy back.

I’m 25 and I haven’t gone to a club in… three years now. It’s not that the idea doesn’t seem like a lot of fun, and I would love to… but going clubbing used to be about meeting guys..or having a girls’ night out. and being in a committed relationship kind of defeats the purpose of going to a club, unless you have a bunch of friends to go with… who are not trying to find their next “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”. Couples can be a boring crowd to singles. And my single friends know that too (or maybe it’s just me who’s become way too “domesticated”).

Zuzana & Fred,
I want to thank you for this web site-it’s such a motivator for me personally!

And I think you’re confusing getting old with getting mature and responsible. I’m 27 and I gave up clubbing & drinking a year ago. Feels great & now I have more chances to achieve my goal.

First of all, I think your website is awesome! I just came across this and I am really excited to try all your workouts.

For me clubbing is so strange now that I am 29. I used to be crazy dancing all night and then going into work without any sleep. I just got back to the U.S. from being in Serbia for 10 months and I went out with my girlfriends for like “old times sake”, but it just wasn’t the same.

Thanks for the great workouts!

Well My take is that you don’t necessarily get tired of clubbing but as we get older, we get tired of hanging out with unfamiliar people and you realise the more important things in life. You want to spend time with people that are actually FRIENDS or family.

I think if u go clubbing with close friends that you have a good time with then it will still be fun.

I agree with Chris and Linda above. Sporty (active) ppl dont enjoy the activities that go hand in hand with nightclubs (drinking, drugs e.t.c) because u wake up feeling worse than u felt in a long time and then ur energy level is lower than normal. Also being a health conscious person, you know how bad all that stuff is for your body.

P.S I hate you for the body weight workout set!

Im 21 and I think Im over the clubbing! I started at a young age but i just feel like the hangover and not remembering what happened or maybe remembering and regretting just isnt really worth it….

I think you need to force yourself to go out partying from time to time but im definatly not into doing it every weekend like i did when i was 19 (only a couple years ago!!!)

Hi Zuzana and Frederick,

I feel that the age that its start to kick in depends of your head. I think that when you start to grow up, and have worries about work, studies (about your profission), and start coming Another targets, like getting married, sons and wherever… I think that things that use your “fantasious part” go finishing…
I’m 24, and… I say to all my friends, I’m old! :)
But, depends… Where your grow up, when you start to work, how was you in the school, who was your friends… Things like that define a “adult personalit”…

Congratulations for your videos and workout routines!!!
I try to see them every day!
Very motivational!!! :)

PS. sorry my poor English, thats I don’t write very good. ;)

Big Hugs,

I am 47 so I can say I have some experience with how my perception of going to clubs has changed over the years. When I was in my early 20′s I had a short time where I was single and going to a club was a fun way to meet guys, but only for some attention and dancing, not for a relationship. I definitely felt sexy and alive on the dance floor.

I go to clubs more now than I used to, but only because I love dancing. Otherwise, I have no other reason to be there. I like to be fit so I don’t want to drink that much or stay out too late. I don’t expect to meet a boyfriend there, though theoretically it could happen. Basically, any illusions I had in my youth about the fun I could have in a club have changed. I definitely would not want to stay out until 6 a.m. and then not be able to workout that day :) I love my workouts so much.

For me… I think it also has to do with relating to people that are my same age. I’m 28.. I’m not that stoked about going out and having 21 year old frat boys hit on me :) I’d rather be around people who are my same age. I still like music and like to dance. But it’s weird, it’s not what it once was…

I’m kind of like you two.. I’d rather be going out to a brewery/pub/lounge with some friends enjoying each others company and good conversation. Every once in awhile it’s fun to do… But it definitely isn’t what it used to be.

I also don’t enjoy being so hard on my body. I get more pleasure from a good nights sleep and being able to go on a hike or work out… More than going out and being ruined the next day..

Oh, and in California, our clubs close at 2 and I like to leave by 1 at the latest (to avoid the really drunk irritating people) so we get to club for a few hours at the most. Makes it a lot easier than having to stay out until 6 a.m.

I’m not a clubber and I’m not sticked to club music at all, and I think that it’s due to my family that I’m not used to spending all night in a club. Most of my close friends will be very glad to go to a club even on wednesday, but not me. The road to university in crowds of people takes two hours of my daytime, and I do not even think of getting close to a club with pounding music. Instead, I would like some quiet melody to calm down from the workday. My parents think the same way so it’s obvious that I got such behavior pattern from them. But I completely understand them, and I think that if you live in a megapolis, work or study somewhere far from you home you need to be extremely energetic to spend a whole night in a club.

I’d like to add that the physical effects of sounds above a certain decibel level are physically damaging, especially when prolonged, as in the discotheque. Seeing as how, Zuzana and Freddy, your bodies have been conditioned to begin craving what is good, it is not surprising that all night clubbing and loud music (which you have to yell over, straining your larynx)have begun to pale compared to more meaningful activities. I’m in my early thirties, and clubbing lost its appeal before I got out of college. It was all for the good, and it has absolutely nothing to do with being young. Nothing existential here! Thanks, guys!

What is the thing? – music? people? dancing? It’s never all of them. I for instance make music. And I’m never going to stop going to clubs. It’s a permanent kind of fun for me. Music does not lose its appeal, to me.

But most people do not get out of music what I do, like most people do not get out of physicality what Z&F do. If it’s mainly about people – you’re in a relationship so it changes, yeah? – and if it’s about dancing – well, you lot are more physically adept than your best competition in the average club – maybe there’s a point where dancing gets old…

hello! good morning Zuzana!

much Obliged!

I don’t know, I’m only 21, but it has never been my top priority. I’m kind of “old” for my age, but since I was never a big drinker, I guess the whole scene got old to me before I could even legally hang in it. It seems like it’s much more fun for singles, and I’ve been in a relationship for 4 years.

I have been enjoying a little more often lately, going to dubstep and drum’n'bass shows, and just dancing the night away; it’s sort of primal feeling. But I don’t have to drink all night to dance and have a good time; AND I figure that I’m getting a killer workout by non-stop dancing for a few hours!

I love your work. It is great to have both of you on video or at least contributing from behind the camera. You both bring a lot to bodyrock.tv. The workouts are inspiring and I really enjoy hearing your perspectives on life, etc. Similar views to my own. I am 42 years old, certified Spinning instructor and have my own engineering consulting business. Keep up the great work. I wish you both the very best.

I think it ended for me at 30, when I stopped off at the 7Eleven around 5am one morning after clubbing, and asked for the Sunday papers. The man behind the counter told me there were no Sunday papers because it was Wednesday morning!

Hey, I’m nineteen and I’ve already got enough clubbing since I’ve been attending parties 3-4 times a week last year (and every weekend ever since). Now I just couldn’t help but wonder whats the point of staying up all night and getting shit faced drunk. I don’t get it, what’s the funny part ’bout that? I still enjoy concerts & dancing but mostly with soft drink in my hand and I’m in bed before midnight…(btw. surprisingly it feels soooo good to my skin)

Yeah, I’ve experienced the exact same thing a few years ago. You spend the whole night at a bar drinking, wondering if something exciting is going to happen. In the end I got really bored with going to bars/clubs in general and decided to do something else with my weekends/spare time.
I’ve turned thirty this spring and went out to celebrate my birthday after a long time (about four years I think), and
that night I had a great time. Also, for the first time I was really dancing. I didn’t care about anything but the music. I don’t go out as much as I used to in my early twenties, but when I do, I just focus on the dancing and talking to people (without too much alcohol). I’ve met a lot of nice people this way and I really love it now.
I think it’s all about moderation and variation.
Don’t get pissed and don’t do the same things every time.

I believe when you reach a certain age or become more mature and serious in life, you wouldn’t be happy night clubbing because you have other priority. Having fun, excitement, is not only be found in clubbing. You can have fun and be excited right there in your own home or park, somewhere and anytime of day or night.

I actually hit that at 19. I used to be a big party-er and now I just tell everyone it isn’t my thing. I don’t enjoy being super drunk and while I don’t get hangovers, I still feel sluggish the next day. So while most people I meet my age think that I am boring, I am improving my life.

I’ve hit that at 18!! I used to go to raves all the time..for about 2 years straight..I would go at least once a month, more like twice for a while..then I stopped and started just going to house parties with my friends and boyfriend..Now me and my boyfriend mostly spend the weekends doing something at home or going outside and doing something fun..we take a friend or two along but we don’t feel the need to go out and party and go crazy..
I think we just got bored..simply put..

The key to enjoying parties is cherry picking them. Choose the right venue and make sure you like the music and their artist. Yes, dancing and talking to people is the pretty much the whole point.
But, I can totally agree with a mircobrew pub and some friends to shot the sh*t. Much love :)

I’m 22, and I’ve always preferred a quieter place with conversation to a busy place with dancing. I think I just have a more low-key personality, but I still enjoy a good dance party among friends. (^_^)

I agree, the first few times it is fun, but as you get older you being to realize it wears off. I find now that it is better to have a good convo with friends at night at dinner, or some where where you can have a good laugh. However, I have had some good memories clubbing with friends, but the moments are more brief, and easier forgotten.

I rather go to a pub and then not till 6 a.m. but just until 1 or 2. Because the next mornig i have to workout…… Cause when you have a late party the whole next day i am bushed pffffff. Maybe thats the age (31).
And yes i think Frederick is right when you are getting older you get other interests

I definatly agree with this, I’m only 17, not even the legal drinking age in Alberta, I partied a little last year and it was fun then but in the last year I’ve found that I would much rather sit on a patio somewhere with a few good friends and have a glass of wine than go out and party with loud music and tons of people I don’t know.
