Hi guys,
As I mentioned in the video, I went to play tennis with Frederick and a friend of mine. I haven’t played tennis for a very long time and I never was an ace at it, but it was a lot of fun and amazing cardio. I must say that my workouts are really paying off, because I was able to run around the tennis court for over an hour without any problems at all. The only problem I have is my technique – I don’t even know how to hold the racket properly :) It is kind of funny, because I know that I am in a good enough shape to do all kinds of sports, but because I haven’t been really doing anything else other than my workouts, I am totally clumsy when it comes to sports. The good news is that I love sports and I don’t mind embarrassing myself :) I have noticed that there are 4 types of people. First there are the people who want to get in shape before they would consider trying any kind of sport. Second, the people who play sports for exercise and as a way to get in shape. Third, people who are just not interested in any sports activity what so ever, and finally people who play sports just for the fun of it. Frederick and I fall into the last category – where do you fit in?
Today I did one of my older workouts so click here, to checkout the full description of the routine with pictures. It is an interval training workout so you will need your interval timer. I am using my cool Gymboss Interval Timer. In Malta I was using my gymnastic rings for the pull ups and now I am using my pull up bar from Ultimate Body Press that you can find here. My pull up bar is becoming an important part of my workouts moving towards the summer.
Tomorrow I am planning on doing a new workout, so make sure to stop by and check it out. Don’t forget that the summer is going to be here very very soon and you have to get in shape (some of you promised in the comments). Watch how much and what you are eating and be consistent with your exercise. We are really going to push hard from here on out :)
Enjoy your workout, and see you tomorrow!
Zuzana.
hi Zuzana i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you pants, i want too. love u keep it up.
Ok, maybe I’m going to hate myself for saying this when you guys come out with “Turbo Homocidal Punishing Death Inferno Fat Incinerator Extreme Workout for True Lovers of Pain”, but I just don’t think this workout is that hard. 15 seconds is too long to rest. I yawned at one point.
But ok, thanks anyhow. I still like you and I still love this site and I still will do your workouts tomorrow.
Hi Charlie D.,
From what I’ve learned about intervals HIIT etc. the idea is to be able to push your heart rate to a higher level than normal cardio and then let it slow up again slightly before you pump it back up. Thats what gives the groovy results. If your heart rate is being pumped really hard the break is well needed. However, as I have been getting stronger my heart rate recovers quicker to my workout. So, I find myself wiggling and rockin’ out to the jammin’ tunes I have going durring my rest period. My heart rate still drops durring my rest but not as far as when I just stand there panting(dying:what I was doing before) and then I’m ready to really push it hard durring the max out time too. It was a great way to see results in my heart’s health progress (woohoo). I hope it helps because when working out we continue to get results when we’re pushing ourselves to new heights so keep up the great work and find your own personal tweak for your workout that will give you that extra push for a newly “omgodimadiebeforethisisover” feeling :D.
That’s a really good idea – thanks, Mary Liz.
Hi Zuzana & Frederick! I’m 45 and recently came across your page some weeks ago and want to say thank you for being such an inspiration to me and for helping me to get back on track with getting fit. I love your workouts and it was REALLY HARD to even complete a full set in the very begining, but I am getting use to these each day and really look forward towards achieving the results I am looking for. I don’t have high expectations, because with your workouts … it is just a natural given that I will (for sure) see some great results! Thank you guys again … so much! Keep up the great work! ;)
Hi, right on about the positive thinking. I am sorry facebook did not work out but it can get crazy on those sites. I like this work out but most of all ****I like that dip station thing.**** Where did you get it can you please let me know I would love to have one as part of my home gym. Thank you both for the great job you do. Zuzana you are fit but thanks for caring to show others how to be fit.

I suggest you read the text above again and you will find the information you are looking for.

Hey girl, how come you haven’t been posting your reps or times anymore? I like to use them as a guidline for my development. We all look up to you here, or at least I do:)
Congrats Audra! I will pass on your request for sets and reps info to Zuzi.
Frederic,
In Hebrew “Zuzi” means “Move”, isnt that appropriate?
completely!
Hi Frederick,
I don’t know how to use these communications well yet. I am curious to find an exercise done while standing that Zuzana did many months ago – I believe it was filmed on a rooftop terrace – where there was a rotation of the thoracic combined with a side lunge. It was just one side at a time so she didn’t alternate legs. Can you help me find the description on the website and possibly send me the link? Thank you for all your good work. It matters. ~DIANA~
I miss the rep/time info not being posted any more, too. I mean, I know we are in this to compete against our own efforts, but the challenge never hurts, only motivates! I posted my reps, but it hasn’t gone through moderation. Oh well :) I know you guys are busy!!!
Hi Zuzana
I am in California. My friend Nicole and I found your workout by accident about a month ago and we have been doing it since. Before that we were doing pilates frequently but wanted something more intense. Thank you for challenging us. We are also doing the 30 day challenge and have been successful since March 1st.
Thank you,
dani
Hi Zuzana,
i was just wondering have you always been active in your life or was there a point in your life where you decided to change your life style? I was just curious to know if you used to not be fit and now you are fit, healthy and beautiful. What inspired you to start becoming active and fit?
Hi Zuzana!
I absolutely love your attitude and I was wondering if there are any motivational books or anything like that that you read?
Hi Arionna, Zuzi likes to read Louise L. Hay, Stuart Wilde, Joel Osteen, Wayne Dyer and even Tony Robins :)
I loveyour workouts and I wish you would post names and brands of workout clothes you are wearing !
please !
Hi Zuzana, It’s very hard to me, I can’t do it as fast as you, I’d like to know if it’s ok or maybe I have to try with other kind of excercise
Yes – you can always modify these routines so that they work for you – just make sure they are still challenging :)
Girl!
I remmember once in a video you said, at coffe talk about how you enjoy watching magazines, and that sometimes you get inspiration like from some famous actresses or models, like victoria secret. I found this video, that should give you motivation. Their bodies are incredible and i felt like this fit here very well because is FAT TERMINATOR and this models dont have nothing of fat. Enjoy!

Hi
You are absolutely AMAZING! Your workouts are professional and very effective. If you don’t already have an exercise show on main stream television, you should. My friends and I are trying your workouts and we loved them. Keep it up. You are a beautiful inspiration and a joy to watch and learn from. Wish you the best.

I so love your workouts. They are exactly what I have needed. Thanks so much. You’re a total inspiration! Keep ‘em coming! ;-)
Hi Zuzana!
I wanted to ask how often you change your workout? Should I follow one routine for a longer time or it’s ok to change it often? I especially want to focus on my booty to make it firmer and rounder and I’m wondering if changing the type of exercises will make different muscles work every time and I will never see any changes? Sorry if that is silly but I really want to see that work but I get bored by the same routine quite quickly.
Anyway, you’re great. Keep it up!
Zuza – the workouts posted here on the site are the only ones that Zuzana is doing – so as you can see her routine is changing just about every single time she works out. Changing up your exercise routine will definitely not prevent changes from occurring :)
Nice fitness system – Arny would like it ;)

Hello, Zuzana and Fredercik!))
I have a question..
I like this workout very much,thats why I keep doing it for 6 days already…And I feel myself more energetic and healthy ))
I’m not a begginer, but had a break for 1 year. And today, after the training, I went dark eyes.
Could this training be bad for the heart?
Thank you
Katerina :)
xoxo :-*
Tennis! I luv tennis! I have so many questions to ask! Lol. but i not going to ask this instant. I just want to say- WOW! u look amazing! u are like an inspiration for me that girls CAN look like you- no fat whatsoever! :) my goal is to burn the fat, look good and feel good about my body. thnx so much for the videos!
hey zuzana,
what are the intervals for this workout?

it´s not possible to open the link above!
thanks,
julia
Hello! :)
I have always been an avid fan of working out and getting in shape- I have played sports all my life and run often. I have decided to get more serious and really start to tone by body and improve my overall health. If I were to start doing one of your workouts a day along with my running, what are the basic items i need? I saw the weight, and the interval trainer. But a list or a link to an article would be great.
thankyou!
I honestly think you have a way better body than an Victoria Secret model because you actually have a booty:)
I am trying to do your workouts but currently i can only complete one 1/3 of each workout, but hopefully i will be able to complete at least one whole workout.
Hi Zuzana,
I´m a girl of the north of Spain, Basque Country, so sorry for my english. I wnat to try this work out, so please, could you tell me the intervals? I´m trying to see them at the page you´d say but it’s impossible.
Thank you so much.
Best regards
I found this workout was not the hardest. 2 minutes for an exercice but half is rest.It was perfect for the end of this week.
I hope the terminator don’t like your Fashion Haul:

Where can i find a Gymboss (or any for that matter) interval timer? Ive noticed you use them quite frequently and i can’t truthfully keep track of my time and work out.
hi i know this video is older but i was hoping you could put names of the moves and your scores for this workout
OMG! I didn’t know if I was going to make it through this one! Thanks for pushing me, Zuzana!!! Just the thought of my body looking like yours just made me finish this workout! Haha!
love,
Ruth
