Hi Guys,
One of the most common questions that I get here is about where I get my exercise clothes. I thought it would be fun to start sharing my new workout clothes with you when I go shopping. It has been quite a while since I have bought anything new to wear for my workouts, and now that we are moving into the spring I decided it was time to update with some new pieces.
Most of the time I find it really challenging to find exercise pants that look cool and actually fit me well. The biggest challenge I run into is that a lot workout tights tend to be cut in a way that flattens your butt like a pancake. I have a common sense approach to shopping now – if I am not 100% sure about an item I leave it behind and look for something else. The faintest hint in the dressing room that I may have second thoughts about it later and I won’t buy it. Most of the time this results in me leaving a heap of clothes behind in the changing room and walking away with nothing.
Thankfully when I tried these new Adidas pants on they fit perfectly and there was no second guessing. They are super comfortable on and I really enjoyed working out in them. They also are those rare pants that give you a really nice shaped bum. They don’t flatten your cheeks :) These pants were ridiculously expensive in the store – they came to $154 – but I found them later online for $89 here: http://www.zappos.com/adidas-by-stella-mccartney-running-7-8-tight-pant-black-black
After I moaned over the price difference I decided that I would start shopping for my exercise clothes online a lot more often :)
I spotted the Puma top on a mannequin from across the store and I immediately loved it. I love the way they iced up the logo and made it sparkly. It’s a great top and super comfortable to wear for working out.
My old Nike trainers were starting to look a bit worn out, and even tho I love them, it was time for a new pair. I find shopping for exercise shoes very similar to shopping for tooth paste. There are a million different options, and each one is for a very specific purpose. What I have learned about my own training and the workouts that we do here on BodyRock.Tv, is that I prefer to wear shoes with flat soles. I have also read that flat soles are recommended for working out with kettle bells. I used to wear athletic shoes that had much more elevated heels (packed with air pockets, gel, springs and a small nuclear reactor) but I found that the extra height made the shoes less stable. The great thing about these shoes is that they are not made from any kind of mesh fabric that gets dirty easily. At $70 I was very pleased with this purchase.
I hope you enjoyed the haul and if you have any tips for where to get great stuff let me know.

Question for the ladies, does anyone know of a workout bra for the small breasted that does not flatten the chest like pancakes ( a bra that lifts and separates)and is as cute and sexy like Zuzana. I wear a 34A cup, please let me know the brands that have worked for you ladies in the same situation. My body is starting to look amazing and I don’t want to cover it with a t-shirt any more. I’m ready to start showing off the results of my hard work lol.
Lisa,
This may or may not help you, but I get my bras from a store in Nashville, TN called Scarlet Begonia. They are amazing for small chested. Here is the link http://www.scarlettbegonia.com/merch.htm if you are ever in the area.
Hey I am in the same boat…Lululemon has them sometimes,not always so you gotta keep checking.I don’t know where you live but in Canada we have a store called Winners(similar to T.J Max – USA) and I bought some tops that fit me perfect and they are very cheap(under 24$)
I wouldnt wory about your breast size too much.Alot of people make a big deal about it but to be perfectly honest guys realy dont care that much.Guys in the bar might care…but most of us couldnt care less.Work on being as healthy as you can and be comfortable in your own skin.Thats alot more important to men than breast size.
Tim – and to all the ladies,
I take this same stand point – it does not matter what a breast size is, as long as you’re healthy. Much like everything else about the elusive female – it isn’t so much about what a man or any men thinks. It is self image. If a woman works out hard, and ‘feels’ she isn’t portraying a girliesque figure… you can tell her until your blue in the face. It’s how she feels. That doesn’t mean to stop supporting her, your love is reciprocating – so go and help her pick out that sexy bra. Who knows where it can lead! :p

Sure, I agree, but we like to look curvy for ourselves, not necessarily to catch a guy’s attention. Just a part of being a woman.
I know what you mean. I don’t want to look like I have no breasts because my sports bra smashes what I have down. I have found sports bras at Victoria’s Secret that actually have some light padding in them. I don’t see them on their website currently. I would suggest going to a local department store that has a lingerie section and looking for lightly padded sports bras. The padding is enough to offset the affect of the smash-down support they give.
This may not be what you are looking for but I use two bras one for support and one for the lift and beauty. I use a regular old bra underneath the sports bra. the regular bra provides the separation and the lift, then the sports bra keeps it in place.
I often do the same when working out. I normally wear a normal bra under my sports bra so I can keep them lifted while holding them down, when jogging or doing the normal workouts.
p.s. what is the name of those Nike shoes
The pants are stunning…fun!
The new workout didn’t get loaded until after I did mine today. I went thru the 500-600 reps workouts and put a workout that I could do at the hotel gym.
I chose 10 exercises with 50 reps. I am happy that I was able to get thru all the 50 Squat with Side Leg Lifts, Sit Ups and Reptiles without stopping!
Looking forward to the new workout tomorrow.
I Had so much fun relaxing and watching your two latest videos. I will try the new workout first thing tomorrow morning! I LUV you guys, you are making such a difference in my attitude and approach to my workouts. I am loving my new toner body and my goal is to become a personal trainer by 2011 before my boys start school. I am revved up and you guys are the main reason for my better moods and healthier body and nicer outlook on life. And the good Lord. I treasure my body and want it to feel good, look good, and be good :) I feel priveledged to be a part of this site and to know you both. Smiling~ Lish
When do you show the results of your workouts? I think we all want to know how big your biceps are and your abs.
I had a look on the zappos website for some pants, but unfortunatly they only ship in the U.S and candada. Or am I wrong?
love all your outfits and your workouts.
You are great!
Zuzana–not sure if you’d be interested, but this is a link to a website that sells really nice designer clothing at really great discounts; this weekend they had a lot of fitness stuff on sale–yoga clothes, mats, etc.–though I’m sure a lot of it is already sold out. Theres a ton of other stuff as well, for both men and women–if you wanna check it out here’s my link; http://www.gilt.com/invite/mellybelly9
It’s free to sign up,hope you find it useful!
Hello Zuzana, nice pants you have there! I wonder if I could pull those off :)
Have you ever tried on running thights and capris? I really think that most of those have really flattering cuts and they are so comfortable. Only downside is that it’s hard to find nice colours, they tend to be mostly black/blue/grey with little colorful efects.. Anyways, my current favourites are Puma and Craft tights.
I also want to thank you for your videos. Because of those I found my long lost inspiration to work out. Now I have been working out regularly for about two weeks and I already feel so much better overall and about my self (and also from the mirrow:)).
Keep up the good work!
Really want those flower power pinky exercise pants… can you tell me where I can buy them?
For canada you can buy the stella pants on http://www.shopadidas.ca/product/PI760/P98347/adidas-by-Stella-McCartney/Stella-McCartney-Run-Perf-78-Print-Tight/detail.jsf
Hey Zuzana, I love your pants with the big flower.. where did u get that from?
Hi Zuzanna,
I am interested in finding the v-neck sports bras you wear, like the one you are wearing in the “Damn Sexy Body” workout. I really like the v-neck type but cannot find them at the website you mentioned or anywhere on the web.
Can you provide some websites to find them at?
Thanks & great website! I love the exercises! I try to incorporate some of your moves into the P90X routines I do as well as my own (whatever feels good to me on a particular day).
**Correction** I meant the V-neck on the “Body on Fire” workout.
You should try http://www.lucy.com/ :)
It is where I get all my work out clothing and they fit wonderfully and look great.
I’m sticking to Champion clothes. There are great for men and do not cost a fortune. I’m comfortable in anything I look decent in. Zuzana, you look marvelous in just about anything!
I just purchased the stella adidas pants online and ordered a small according to the size chart. What size do you wear? You are leaner than I but I am a 26 in guess jeans so do you think these will fit?
You are inspiring!!!! I adore your routines!!! And you have cute style!
The pans are amazing!!!! I adore Stella McCartney collections!
Nice pants!! I like how thin they seem, no lines. My wife would love these, (You just helped me with one of her mother’s day gifts). Thank you.
Great fatburning programm!
Suzanna, i luv u my dear…;)
Hi Zuzana,
the pants are awesome, can i ask you which size you choose? i cant orient which size can be for me..
Frankly, with a body like that, do you really need clothes anymore ?!? You remind me of a steppe horse woman, maybe from one of those Kurgan tribes. Where are you from Zuzana ? I am curious as I have travelled twice in the steppe lands. Bashkortostan and Mongolia. Both really memorable trips.
Regards,
Andrew

I know that Zuzana is the STAR of the show and with good reason :) But I heard the camera man speak for the first time in the Zuzuna Banana recipe video and I just want to see the man who get to film you all day long Zuzana. Could there possibly be a better job in this worl :D Tell him to poke is head into the scene one time.
Hi,
There are quite a few videos that I am in on the site – mostly in the life section :)
You look fantastic, I like your new training shoes.
Zuzana, HI!
I’m from Russia.
Thank you for your site and video.
You are great!!!
Lvette,
Lululemon has bras for all breast sizes, many of them are shaping, and a lot of their bras have molded cups. I do everything from plyometrics, running, weight lifting, yoga, to lounging in their clothes. They have a website as well just google lululemon and it should come up. Enjoy
ahoj zuzano,
měla bych dotaz týkající se tvého cvičebního oblečení. Mám ne zrovna mala prsa (E) a shanim vhodnou podprsenku na sportování vyzkousela jsem jich dost a nikd yjsem nebyla spokojená. Chtela bych se zeptat co más za značku a zda “neco udrží”
Děkuji za odpověd. E.
Good thing that even in exersicing, fashion is still there!
I agree with the comments about the pants. Those are stunning :)
I agree with Claudiu, You look gorgeous in this picture.
I was looking for the web sight where your nike shoes were from and I didn’t see it. Could you let me know where I can order them…or what name and style they are…
Thanks!
I am a new fan of yours. You have been great inspiration for me. Thank you for your videos and for your guidance. I hope to continue along in this great journey!

Hi Zuzana!
I love your Sports Bras, they look sexy and comfortable.
Where can i get one?
regards,
Anna
Great stuff as usual…
I must tell yu Suzana that i bought Columbia pants named Vertical ridge but they are shaped tricky.I wonder if your dress is shaped tricky too?, couse precise shape would be better.I like all shapes but your dress just looks good on you.
What size do you wear in the Stella pants? They only have xs and md left…
Thanks!!
Hi, the pants that she is wearing in the 12 minutes workout, where can i buy them? cant find any pants like that model :/
Do you ever get tired of people complimenting you on your beauty? It’s almost as if you should be modeling for Adidas, would you have been interested if they offered?
Do you do fitness competitions? you should!! My next show is this september, would love some tips on getting abs like yours!
you are so sexy of that outfit!
Outfit is great! It is so cool. Couldn’t be better.
You Rock!
Zuzana’s outfit rocks!
I believe that when people shop for clothing, they want to feel beautiful for themselves, not just to impress the people around them. I think that fun exercise clothing gives me more inspiration to workout and do my best!
I shop at FeelFitWear.com, they are multi-brand company with great fitness clothing. Many of their products are made of this special fabric that comes from Brazil; it fits great and has an amazing feel!!!! They tend to run a little small; I think they would have something for a 34 A breast.
This was an unpredictable look, for you!
You did very well, well done! The pants are fantastic. They carry a funk/retro vibe and really indicate you are having fun with it(:])
Hehe…nuclear reactor…that made me giggle.. :P
Besides the one outfit where do you usually get your exersize clothes or what brand??? And what size are you in jeans and your measurements i need inspiration
Hi everybody. Just wanted to say that i love athleta clothing brand. I think their clothes is very comfortable and wears forever.
All the best,
Kate :)
I found just as nice stuff in Walmart….Danskin has some great style sports bras. When it comes to workout clothes I’m pretty frugal for a piece of material I’m going to sweat up and wash about 100 times….LOL! I work out at home, I don’t really care what people think where my boobs are flat or not…they’ll be too busy looking at the rest of me to notice….LOL! Next to developing legs, abs are one of the most difficult muscles to get developed. Guys have always been jealous the I could develop mine so easily. Since I’ve been training with Zuzana, my abs are coming back in full force!!!! Thank you Zuzana!!!!
