One week diet challenges sounds like a genius idea! I’m so excited to start!

Thank you sooooo much for bringing the instructional pictures back!!! It really helps A LOT!!!
Thanks for everything you do as well, you are truly amazing people!! :)

That’s great idea! :) I can’t describe you,how I feel right now… When I read your posts everyday and you are replying to us… it’s like a family. It is something really strange… That’s something really great, you care of us, you share with us, that you inspire us… Thanks…

Just finished this workout and my goodness do my legs ache. I have been following your home workouts for almost 2 months now, I absolutely LOVE your site, and your workouts. Just amazing. I have to say thank you to the two of your for giving me back my pre-baby abs! I have been working my butt of (quite literally) and it is starting to really show. My husband thanks you too! Thank you so much for the inspiration and the motivation to get into better shape than I have ever been (and that includes having been a swimmer for 10 years!) You guys rock!

Is there a video for this one? :)

Yeah – sorry … forgot to embed it :)

I’m so happy that you guys are planning to bring more attention and focus to our diets! I’ve been following your workouts for over a year now, and because of bodyrock, I’m in love with staying active and doing your workouts everyday. I used to be that kid in gym class who was one of the last people to finish the mile run or could barely do any physical activity without huffing and puffing. Now that I train with you everyday, I am faster and more fit than all of my guy friends and can probably do more push ups than my boyfriend :). I’m so grateful for you guys and this website, it’s served as such a blessing in my life and for countless others!

The only thing that I’ve struggled with is maintaining a healthy diet. I think my biggest problem is not having any self control. Because it’s SO cold outside I never want to leave my apartment if I don’t have to, and I end up eating out of boredom because my fridge is right next to my television set. I know that I am not hungry, but I end up walking up to the fridge and staring into it anyways.

I’m excited for these new diet challenges and I’m going to promise myself to do anything to stick to them! :)

Yay, I can’t wait for the diet challenges. Hopefully this will help remind me not to slip back and get ‘stuck’. Because I’d like to move on now, to the next level. =D

So glad to hear you’re enjoying capoeira. I took it for awhile years ago and while I loved it, it was at a time when I was the most out-of-shape that I have ever been. Even though I loved the feel and energy of it, I also felt super uncomfortable, especially at the end when we all got together and everyone had to take turns ‘playing’. I never felt confident enough in my ability to perform the moves to let go and enjoy myself. So, when life got busy, I listened to the little voice saying that life would be easier & less stressful if I just dropped capoeira. Now I’m super excited to see you incorporate some of the movements into our workouts, for both the challenge and the variety. As for this workout, I am going to own it tonight!

I am SO excited to read this! I believe I am the type of person that can definitely beneficiate from mini-changes each week in order to get better and better food habits. Can’t wailfor tomorrow really

You guys make me laugh so much. Its fantastic that you share these workouts with us through video. After being a bodyrocker for nearly 6 months now, i feel like i really know you guys, that sounds kinda weird but if i saw you guys in the street, starting up a conversation would be super easy. Do you know what i mean? :P
I cant wait to try this workout tomorrow!

Oh and im really looking forward to the new diet challenges! Just what i need! :D

I know what you mean. We run into BodyRockers now quite frequently when we travel and it’s always a really friendly warm connection :)

I love the “gauntlet” style of this workout and can’t wait to try it tomorrow. Zusana, your form is flawless and really inspires me to try to make every rep *perfect*!

I’m also soooo excited about the one week diet challenges! You guys really have your fingers on the pulse here and are answering so many people’s prayers.

You continue to amaze and surprise me – thanks for being so awesome!

Count me in to our new challenge. I really need that. I’ve missed two workout here tik tok and 300 but i’m planning to make up… I’m suffering from my canker sore.. I got 5 all at the same time and before I even get rid of them, there’s more building up… Now, those 5 sores are gone but I have new ones and 4 sores now which is bothering me… I missed those 2 workouts but it doesn’t mean I didn’t move, I did jumping rope and some weight trainings…. Well, I’m SO in and excited to our upcoming diet challenge… Let’s start tomorrow.

Thanks Freddy and Zuzana… you both are really our angels. :) ……..ok, I’m off now for my coffee and then ready to my bodyrocking… :)

2 hrs??? that will be too long… Let’s do it now… I’ll come back too for my score. :)

hey zuz! it would really help if you wrote a post on how YOU stay motivated everyday. You have an amazing body already, it seems perfect to all of us, but how do you keep going? how do you not just say, o it wont matter today if i take the day off, or if i eat this one dessert?
thank you in advance and cant wait to try this workout
love the diet challenges together!!!

Zuzana, how did you get the 15 mins on the 1st set (1-5)? I just finished my 1st set and it took me 25 mins and 21 secs… the hardest is those lunges then squat… haaaahhh.. should I continue??? I’m still gasping… ok, I should drink first… I’ll come back if I survive… you said in the video not to stop… i’m getting my breathe, Ok? Man, too hard… it’s killing me… ok, it’s fine… later again… i’m catching… :P

Yay! I survived! I survived! I survived! I was able to continued to 2nd sets from round 5 to round 1. Here’s my complete time:
Round 1 to 5 = 25 minutes and 21 seconds
Round 5 to 1 = 24 minutes and 33 seconds

Isn’t this workout too much for our knees? Aren’t we getting problem later on by working out too much for our knees? I’m just curious.

Anyway, it’s so hard, painful but it feels good… Thanks! :) Next time again. :)

This was something!! *_*
I think my time was bad because I added too much weight for my fitness level… I added 10kgs. But I did it!! And did all the exercises with proper form.
My time was: 54minutes. No second less, no second more… lol
And I added more 10 minutes of skipping in rounds of 30 seconds skipping and 10 seconds rest.
Then I did more 10 minutes of exercises for abs and lower back, because I need to loose fat in those places.
It was:
1-Lower back exercise (in google the name for this exercise is swimming) 20/20/15
2-Side Bend (10kg)13/13/11
3-Bycicle 34/28/30
4-Skipping (low jacks)32/33/30
5-high knee (on pull up bar)9/10/10
It was 15 rounds and it gave me 3 sets of those exercises. After I did a light strech that took me 10 minutes and I´m ok for today!! =P
I was so tired that I couldn´t type anything soon… Had to wait more than an hour to come here and post my scores..
The diet challenges will be very welcome for me, because I´ve been stucked in my diet those last days…
It´s great to know you´re doing capoeira classes, my brother is an instructor, he studied capoeira for years, now he´s studying krav-magá and he´s yet to become instructor too, and he´s only 17 years old!! He´s my proud!! ^^
Thanks again!! You ROCK!! =D

hehehe, this killed me too!! I loved it!! =D Then back to tell us how did you do!! You can!! ^^ You´re STRONG!!

YEAYYYYYYYYYYY!! You simply ROCKED today!! Very nice job!!
I don´t think it´s too much for the knees since you don´t have any problem with your knees… I used to have problems with my knee so I went to the doc and he said that I should exercise my knees… so, since I´m doing more exercise for my legs, my knees are much better. But one case is not the same to another, so, if you feel any uncorfontable with your knees you should see a doc, as I did!!
=)

=)

I´m sure you will do great! =D

Freddy and Zuzana posted it later, but it´s already here! =)

YAAAAAAYYY DIET CHALLENGE!!! :D

Thank you, Flavia. I guess, like you, I need to work more harder for my knees. Since this month, I made my own little challenges, those 1 leg squat 10x + 5 regular push up everytime I go to the wash room… I’ll try this routine again sometime, I hope my knees would be alright by then.

Wow, you did alot! You are really stronger than me. :P
As for the food, oh, only that pies that I was really guilty. Actually, I always eat clean.
I still don’t know what’s that Capoeira is. I need to youtube that.
Hey, may I borrow your designed routine? Maybe I’ll do that tomorrow and I’ll call it ‘Flavia’s Challenge’. :) I’m gonna write it to my notebook now. Thank you, my friend. :)

Flavia I just want say that you REALLY inspire me as a bodyrocker. I always scroll through the comments to see your scores and i can’t believe that you actually do that much extra with each workout . YOU ROCK GIRL! That’s amazing , keep up a good work. You said before somewhere that your abs are starting to show, how long did it take and how was you fitness level before wouts with Zuzana??? Any before/after pic por motivation ???? Thx

Just follow the schedule :)

Sounds good!

Hey Alisia,
Zuz was not able to exercise for a few months – and upper body exercises like pushups etc took her even longer. I think that everyone heals differently, but be sure to give yourself enough time to fully recover first. Since you will be limited as to what exercise you can do you need to focus down on keeping your diet tight.

So I’m looking at the workout and I’m laughing out loud! Holy crap! I feel a lot better today-fever broke and I can breath. Praise God!! everyday closer to being able to join you guys! the diet challenge is going to be wonderful-since I can’t workout, at least I will be able to perfect my diet and focus on that. Have a wonderful day! Muahhh

Ahhhh !! ^^ Thank you!! It´s so kind of you to say that!!
My abs took about 5 months to show. Because I stopped exercise for a couple of months after I changed home, my life was in such a mess nd I went sick, then I back to exercise with zuzana, it took 5 months.
My fitness lvl was normal before Zuzana was normal, I think… I used to practice kung fu, I practice for many years (10 years), but it was nothing that I did everyday, I took classes twice a week only. And I did weight lifting (5 years) with equipment and a litlle free weight, but in that normal way everyone does… 3 sets of 15, 12 and 8 repetitions, and I used to do those normal exercises too, like biceps curl, etc. I have nothing agaist that but my body is responding much better to bodyweight and functional exercises.
But my body is naturally slim,I have long legs and arms, so it´s difficoult to develop big muscles, but my hole body is now more toned, hard, and defined than ever in my life. And I have to say, I always exercised. But I think that I was stucked because I wasn´t breaking my limits everyday. When I started working with interval training my body achieved another level than I never thought I could, because I used to think that my body didn´t have the genetic to be strong, but zuzana proved me that I could go further… ^^
I have a facebook, but the most of pics are from 6 months ago, I have to atualize it. But anyway, if you wanna see how I look, here´s the link:

You can add me as friend if you have an account!! ^^ I´m making good friends here in bodyrock, you all guys are all great people and I´m very gratefull that I found the community and our fellows bodyrockers!! ^^

I´m 31, about to turn 32 in 23 February!! =)
I wanna be fit to my birthday!! LOL

I´m really proud of him, moreover he´s a great musician, already played with orchestra, and nowadays he´s a lead guitar of a band that is beatles cover. He plays guitar, drumms, eletric guitar, bass, percussion, clarinet, saxophone, harmonica and concertina. And he´s a teacher too. Here´s a vid of him on stage:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-mO-p234EE

(it´s me singing!! LOL)
He´s the first guitar that appears on the vid!
His karv maga teacher is also a great musician too, his name is Frank Colon, and here´s his facebook profile:

thanks a lot!! ^^

Both the Maria’s are correct Flavia, you totally ROCK!

I´m nooooot!! LOL
We are all progressing toghether!! =)
I feel much better when I eat clean, even my disposition gets better. WhenI eat much carbo I feel lazy… that´s one of the biggest reasons I prefer to eat clean. But I love sweets and I can´t avoid it!! =P
Capoeira is a Brazilian Fight Style, it´s very dinamic and gives anyone an athlete body in couple of weeks… The basic movement works the waist and lower back a LOT!! =)
Of course you can, but my routine is inspired in zuzana´s routines, but I target on abs because I wanna loose lower abs fat…
Let me know how you did!! =)
You´re very strong, and commited!! Congratz, my good friend!!

Done. Can’t do anything else now because I am a puddle. 24:53 on the first run through and 24:14 on the second. 15 mins? Zuzana is brilliant! I started with 20 lbs and quickly realized that was too much for me, dropped to 15 lbs to maintain form and then 10 lbs towards the end.

The backward lunge & sandbag press was the toughest one for me today. During the first set of them my mind started wondering how I was going to do them all. Good thing us BodyRockers are in training to not listen to that crap:) The last set of them was sweet to finish!! Took me 18:16 & 17:12 (total 35:28). Z&F, this was one of my favorites. Thanks!!!

Way to keep fighting Ayca. Imagine- your friends feel preasure from YOU as well. They know your good habits out weight their old bad ones. The more success you have the more likely they will follow you. Keep Rockin it!!!!

It sounds like we have a lot in common too. I played ball in school and worked out with in stints with weights, running, cardio and what not afterwards, with the most recent being yoga and kenpo karate. I have to agree that I never really pushed myself that hard and was in fact ‘stuck’ for a long, long time. In only 2 1/2 months following Zuzana and Freddy I’ve made INCREDIBLE changes! 2 1/2 months! They are so inspiring and so are you for sharing!

I`m alive!!! :) I didin`t quit!!! I did the first part of this workout in 19.09 and the second in 19.12. It was rough but very fun!! Can`t wait to see what`s the diet challenge!!! Are you guys still climbing sometimes??

This kind of training is spetacular, now I always improve the exercises with interval training, it forces us to push harder and harder… I’ll never quit that;;; heheh
Thank you!! We all rock, we are bodyrockers!! lo/

The best way to keep up with what is happening is by joining our facebook group – just click on the facebook link on the upper right hand side of the site :)

Nope! It’s on for today!

I wrote a whole article about this not to long ago and we shared some great stories. It’s tough, and some people have just opted to BodyRock is stealth mode :) The results and how you feel are ultimately what is important – and it sounds like it has been a very positive experience for you. Keep going!

Hi Tania,
Zuzana went with ISSA and their program, course materials and online support forums were all top notch. We have never looked at ACE, and I think that you would have to have gone through both systems before you could make an honest appraisal of what one was better. We like ISSA :)

You will be back soon don’t worry!

Thank you : )

Congrats!!!

It’s always tough at first – but at some point – and this is different for everyone – it just seems to click :)

Working out today felt fun! And it’s been too long since the last time it felt that way. I give all thanks to yesterdays comments about being stuck and how to break free. You bodyrockers helped me a lot with your inspiring stories, thank you!
My time:
1# 17:57
2# 19:16

Oh man, this was the hardest thing!!!! I am sorry, but I did not finish :D in the middle of the second part I…. I…. I threw up a little *blushing*
I guess I did not wait long enough after eating :D
I finished 1st part in 23:57 and was dead, took about 2 minute break and started the 2nd part. Right after second set of backward lunges, my head just rushed and… lets say I felt it in my mouth, lol (disgusting, sorry) :D
Never happened to me before :D I usually wait for 60-90 minutes after a meal, I only waited about 45 minutes today… cause it is kinda late and I wanted to have my workout done…
So I am not even going to try again today :D I am gonna get some peppermint tea now, it always helps me. Bleagh, I still feel it :D
Feel kinda down, after my yesterday’s personal triumph :( I am also gonna skip the skipping….

THE BACKWARD LUNGES WITH SANDBAG PRESS ARE KILLERS!!! That is something extra extra special for my arms, really challenging!!!

I have a very low blood pressure, and I am also feeling dizzy sometimes, when I go from lying down or sitting into standing position quickly. Sometimes even fast getup from bed in the morning gives me a headrush. Maybe it is that… On the other hand, my mother in law has extremely high blood pressure and she has the same problems.
Try doing getups a little slower, or, concentrate with your eyes on one spot all the time, it helps me a lot. That way my mind is focused on the spot I am staring at, and not so much on the fast up/down movement.

Wow amazing times Karine!

Hahaha, I also LOOKED like one when I was done :D :D

The version you describe first is definitely the right one..

Lol, I am gonna call you Lady Terminator from now on :D Where do you possibly take MORE energy and power to go for more??? :D I admire you, really!
YOU rock! :D

Aww what a coincidence, even I started a new class- gymnastic- after all the push ups, dive bombers and upper body strengthening with your workouts, I needed something new and challenging and most important, something enjoyable, and gymnastic represent just that, my second class is on saturday and I just can’t wait cause first class was really rocking!!!!!!

I completed the first part for 16:19 and the second part for 17:08. To be honest, I tought that I’m gonna do much worse and in the end I’m glad I didn’t. I just realized that I’m getting stronger and stronger as time goes on thanks to Zuzana and Freddy. Love ya!

Not gonna lie, I was totally cursing your name at 5:00 am when I was doing this workout. I am convinced that the backward lunge & sandbag press should be used for capital punishment. Just make those criminals do them until they fall over dead! I certainly felt like I was going to, but I just kept going. No way am I going to give up, totally not my style.

My time:

17:28
16:06

Thanks for the brutal workout!!

Ouchies my arms felt it the most! Even my buggers started coming out from this exercise!!
I got 15 min and 23 sec on first and 15 min and 24 sec on the second one!

Welcome Joe!

hey alexx, you’ve already done the hardest work! you decided to change the way you live and you started doing it! so be proud of yourself. it only matters what YOU do and what YOU think! don’t rely on others. it’s your body, it’s your mind, it’s your life!
if you need extra motivation then ask yourself what motivates you? some here have zuzana-pics everywhere. I have nice photos of healthy food in my kitchen. and I leave a peace of workout equipment (shoes, weights, sandbag) in every room. everytime I see it, it reminds me of working out and then I really want to workout!
try these mini challenges zuzana is starting. I did them myself before. And it really works out for me. This week is about eating no chocolate. In january I lived vegetarian (because a lot of fat and carbs comes with meat, sausages, roasts ….).
and don’t be ashamed. the best thing about bodyrocking is the post workout mood. After working out I feel awake, powerful, strong and most of all I’m so proud of myself! No matter how hard the exercises are I’m smiling happily and just can’t stop!

You´re right when you say that working big muscles you can get the best of our bodies, and that´s why I give my hard on every litlle BR workouts, because they target on big groups of muscles. And when we work big muscles we force our hole body to work as an engine, and the result is more fat burning.
But I also know that, after a great workout like BR workouts we can increase the fat burning on the targets we want more. Because the hole body is already in “fat burning mode”(lol), so… it´s like I´m telling my body:
-Now that all the body is working in the maximum capacity lets give some more power in this or that place.
I´m not just increasing the size of my abs muscles because during the abs sets I´m also doing cardio. When you do any kind of exercise, for any part of the body, and during the sets you do cardio, you are also increazing the fat burning of that especific area. (I learned it from fitness bodybuildings friends of mine – it´s a technique they use when they are near contests).
And it´s also true that when we have bigger muscles, we increase fat burning too, because muscle tissue is a hungry kind of human tissue, that “eats” a lot. I love pronounced obliques, and that´s why I train mines so hard. I´m not looking for smaller waist, I just care it becomes fat-free. =P
The reason I´m not worried is because my body is naturally slim and my waistline is already small. It´s the form my body is, I just want to sculpe it a little more. =)
I´ve been exercising my hole life and I know that my body works better when I do this focus after a big and great workout like BR workouts. And I also know I don´t need to be afraid of getting too muscular because I´m very slender. My legs and arms are long and my trunk is small and I´m all slim. I´m not even shorty. (not tall at all too) But for my size, I´m 1,73m(5,68), My weight is good, I´m 57kgs. And my measures are ok too, just want to sculpe more… =)
Some last days I was feeling fat because I was swollen but it passed.. (thank GOD!! lol)
But I wanna say thank you a lot for worring about me, it shows that we are all here wishing the best for our friends…I know Zuzana´s workouts doesn´t need any extra exercises because they are super intense and complete I do more because I´m kinda crazy, don´t worry… heuehuehuehuehe
^^
I´m gonna check the link!!
Thanks a lot!

LOL!! Thanks a lot!! I think we have to be passionate in everything we want to make it worhty… i wanna be worthy of my fitness!! ^^
But I know we don´t need more, I´m really crazy…

Nina, don´t feel down, it happened to me too. I look for eating light things before workouts, light and protein things, I like hard boiled eggs. Or something like fish… but small portion and I after i felt sick like you I knew the importance to wait the apropried time to workout. But don´t feel sorry, you are a warrior, and very strong, in body and in mind, it happens to everyone… =)
I liked the nickname… hehehe, really, and it´s a coincidence because some of my students used to call me tarminator when that movie with a woman terminator appeared… =P You just added Lady and I laughed a lot here with my husband… ^^
I´m not good in nicknames so I´m gonna adopt this one for my tattoo clients… (they will be scared!!) LOL
Keep rocking and we´ll “see” our progress later today!! =)

Who turned the tap on?! I haven’t sweat like that in a looonnngg time! I love it – thanks guys!

Round 1 = 16:43
Round 2 = 18:53

Now I gotta go wash the stink off! Thanks again for the awesome workout – love it!

Could have been my brother – we look kinda similar :)

we are looking at adding a forum in our next site upgrade :)

Thanks Julia – maybe I can develop my own stand up comedy act :)

I do love to have an occasional glass (or two) of wine IIdiko so, I can relate :)

Hi Opetulka, if you can manage at least 12 pushups on your knees with good form then you’re ready for regular pushups. Also, try to engage (squeeze/tense) your upper back and chest muscles as that will help aid your arms so that they aren’t the only muscles doing the work. Hope this helps :)

Lol Lady Flaviator :D :D :D Oooor Flavia Requimator :D I can think of lots of amazing nicknames for you :)

I will never do that mistake again, I promise, it was really bad, I took a hot bath after the workout, with a huge cup of herbal tea (my hubby is sick and he consumed all of my mint tea!!), and I felt better after that, went to bed and grabbed my Kindle, read a few lines and fell asleep :D
I think the Burpees were the ones who did that to me, I felt a little sick during the Burpee Fusion workout as well, you know, the very fast DOWN, JUMP, PUSHUP, JUMP, JUMP UP AND REPEAT, I think it shaked my stomach a bit :D :D I am always trying to be so fast with them, so maybe next time I will try a little bit slower :D And wait a good 90 minutes after meal :D (I had a bit of soup and an apple before the workout).
But we all know we can learn from our mistakes, right? :)

I remember seeing your post on here…

Oops forgot to post my scores Part 1) 19:32, Part 2) 19:40

Out of all your workouts Zuz&Freddy this is probably my favorite now. Well, this and the 550 rep massacre hahah :))) I loved it so much that after I did it in the morning I went to work and made the girls I coach do it as well! I felt silly some of them were finishing it in like 7min!!! Though they weren’t using weights for the lunges/squats ha. I coach gymnastics by the way and I always incorporate your exercises into their strength training and conditioning. Some coaches even come to me now for advice on exercises!
Time for rounds 1-5 – 14min 4sec
Than start from round 5 again and back to round 1 :)
Time for rounds 5-1 – 13min 28sec!

I love being a bodyrocker <3 :))))

lol :)

oopps!

Although, I wasn’t as quick as some of you incredible Bodyrocker’s and Zuzana of course! I did use a 25LB barbell so I had to be sure that my form on the lunge & press and squats weren’t thrown around for speeds sake. But, this workout did leave me in a Hot Mess! My times were:
Round 1: 17:00
Round 2: 16:37

Overkill!! Good for you! Hope you can still move tomorrow :)

Tough one. Part 1: 19:01, Part 2: 18:13. The second was better for me because I was telling myself: These are the last squats, the last Sandbag Presses (which were the most killing for me, by the way)… and then I got to the end. I have to go to bed now, I’m totally dead:) See you tomorrow and thanks.

Well done ! You should be very prod of you. It took me 29 min to complete the 1st part and 30.52 min to complete the 2nd part. However we should not worry too much at this stage about the time because it’s important we went through the whole workout and we completed the exercises with proper form. Next time we’ll be faster but anyway I feel like a winner despite the fact that I took 1 hour to complete the workout :-) All the best, D

Thank you for your post, it’s really good you are sharing this with us. We can all tell you that you’re on the right path, it may not be the easiest or the most convenient but this is for sure the direction we should all follow for a balanced healthy life. You see .. this society is all about CONVENIENCE everything has to be easy, fast and comfortable, the man should not give any effort because nowadays everything has to be handy. So, that’s why I personally think the majority of people disapprove our choice. Because you see .. what we are doing takes, effort, time, energy, commitment, passion and all of these are really not “friends” with convenience :-) The right way may not be the easiest but it definitely worth while and the results are fantastic and will stay with you for as long as you stick with this direction. I think is hard for every single one of us (bodyrockers) because as I sad above this society is nothing but health and fitness (even if you see everywhere adverts for “healthy” foods and gyms are everywhere and what is hilarious is that most of the people have a membership card for the coolest gym in town). So it is like this, a fight at every minute for us but your character needs to be strong. I believe you become stronger in time, as Zuzi and Freddy so we need to practice every day and you’ll see we’ll get there soon :-)

LOVE LOVE THIS ONE!!!!

wow….i loved this challenge….it was pretty tough and like you said i really felt like i wanted to give up especially since i kept having to stop to get my son out of stuff and never stopped the timer but all in all it was wonderful, brutal and deliciously challenging….lol….rd 1=19:37, and rd 2= 24:29

Thanks for sharing this with us. I find your rationale excellent and I think I’m going to apply it because I also noticed positive results if after an intense workout I push my body for a little bit more cardio and focused exercise in a particular aria I need to loose fat.Thank you!

cool – welcome :)

Hi – we are looking at a possible upgrade to this system, but there are quite a few options with Disqus and it is said to be one of the better comments systems :)

There is no reason why you can’t do the course work – they send you a book as thick as the NYC phone book and other course materials – go for it!

27:26 only used body weight no sandbag. Pushing hard :-) yay!

brutal brutal brutal brutal!!!!!! i was so close to not doing this workout, brutus was telling me “its too late now, you dont have time, your going to play basketball tonight for 2 hours so you dont need to workout”.
well he had me pretty convinced, until i came on here. i was reading through some comments and it got me sooooooooooo motivated, all these bodyrockers saying how they say f*** u to brutus! so i did the same, and i pushed thru this brutal workout with a smile8)

first round: 16:56
second round: 16:59 – i tried so hard to stay under 17 minutes and did, yayyy

felt like i wanted to vomit doing the reverse lunges with the weight (i used a 15 lb. dumbell, but still very challenging, since i lifted my arms straight the whole way up) so i had to slow it down a tiny bit. i listened to my body , but not to brutus, i didnt stop. even though i wanted to just lay on the ground after the ab exercise, i got up and had an insane 2nd half. my dad yelled at my for dripping so much sweat lol but i love drowning in my own sweat. awesome workout guys!!!!!

I did it today -
Part 1 -> 16.46
Part 2 -> 14.27

It was really enjoyable :) Thank u , Zuzana and Freddy :P

Hey guys! Im a couple days behind still… but I just completed this one! WOW. I didn’t think I was going to give up because I knew exactly what kind of mental state I needed to be in to complete this! This was very challenging and I loved it!! I feel so great! This took me about 45 minutes to complete! THANKS GUYS!!!! :)

I got through the entire first part of this workout, while also watching the Grammies (great show this year, for what I saw) and just as I was going to work backwards, we got a call (plane making an emergency landing due to noxious fumes in the cockpit… all was okay).
I hit the timer and ran *or tried to run* up the stairs to the trucks. When I came back, I saw the timer was at 20:52. I found this workout pretty tough, and I only did half of it.
I did warm up with the monkey push up/jump tuck/10 kickup workout, but with only one set per round to get the blood pumping! :)

I’ve been lazy this week.. and my endurance has definitely fallen. I felt sick after only doing the first half of this! :( But I’m proud still – 16:10! Can’t wait to get back on board :)

Thank you so much for these!
Annie

Hi Zuznna,
Thanks for another amazing workout! I just completed this workout-1st round took 16:07mins and the 2nd took 16:58!!! I finished the first round and almost died, but then read all of the comments on here and it motivated me to push through and complete the second so I’m pretty proud! I must confess, I had a little bit too much fun over Christmas and put on a few kilos so am now trying to get back into it! Thanks for all the motivation and this year (the year leading up to my wedding) I hope to finally lose my ‘poochy’ pouch and form some nice abs :)
Love you both,
Stacey

OMG Just finished this… I feel amazing, dead but amazing! :)

I didn’t get a chance to do this exercise so I completed it yesterday morning… my FAVORITE so far!! I am soooo sore this morning.. but it was so much fun for me. My knees were dying on the getups by the ninth round so I switched that out with 200 abdominal crunches and 10 sets of interval jumprope. Some one came up to me in the gym and asked me if I was doing P90X.. I said “no!! I’m a bodyrocker!!” lol.

I did this 2 hours ago, and I’m beginning to think I should have done a different routine. We just loaded our skiing gears and once this is posted; we’re off to Lake Louise for the long weekend. My poor legs are in for serious pain this weekend. I will not be doing any BodyRock routine until we get back home on Tuesday. I am looking forward to doing BodyRock everyday again, but I’m glad I took my mini break by exercising every other day.

I completed this routine in 1:10:23 using a 20lb bag.

1st half 22:39sec 2nd with some modifications like no weights and stepping back on burpees 21:23sec. I did want to stop but I read the comments on other BR who just pressed on!

I was a little nervous about this one because my body is still sore from working out yesterday and the day before BUT I beat my PBs!!!

Part 1: 18:00 (old time: 21:03)
Part 2: 18:38 (old time: 22:20)

Very happy :D

Oh, nearly forgot to say, I had 8kgs of rice in my sandbag (same as the first time I did this workout – its enough!! haha)

I think we can all agree that nobody wanted to start part 2!! old time: 19:13, 18:28. New time:15:20, 17:11.

Oh man… the workout I love to hate! Grrrrrrrreat….

I really surprised myself this time! I was shocked to see my new PB’s. I did lighten the load by 5 LB’s because last time 25LB’s was a bit much for me. So I used 20LBs:

Old times from February: 17:00 – 16:37

New PB: 12:02 – 13:41 Wooh! Yeah! I’m so happy! Yesss!

I want to share a playlist with you guys:) It really helped me to push through my workout:

“Club Can’t Handle Me” – (feat. David Guetta) [From "Step Up 3D"]
“Blow” – Ke$ha
“Who’s That Chick?” (feat. Rihanna) – David Guetta & Rihanna
“Just Can’t Get Enough” – The Black Eyed Peas
“Beggin’ “- Madcon
“Bust Your Windows” – Jazmine Sullivan
“Check It Out” – will.i.am & Nicki Minaj
“This Girl” – Laza Morgan

You can do it Bodyrocker’s! Push yourself beyond your limits! I believe in you!

WOW! Fantastic scores Audra! Once again I am sooo impressed. Luv ur playlist too.

Hello Zuzana, Freddy and Body Rockers ..

I discovered BodyRock.tv just recently. Been body rocking since this week, and I believe this is just for me. I love hard training, and don’t have much time. This is just great, few time but often. Thanks Zuzana and Freddy I really like your workouts :) Time challanges or interval timer gives you motivation to work alone, because you have to keep counts etc. Just great :)

I’m checking the daily workout in advance and do the workout first thing in the morning when I can. The weekly plan rocks :) I will be posting by scores. By the way Zuzana and Freddy, should you ever come back to Malta, please tell me so that I can take you to some cool places, how did you like it here?

By the way my Scores are Part one 17:24 and Part 2 17:32.. happy since they are similar to Zuzana :)

All the best for a rocking life to all :) Cheers for such a vibe

RR

Hi RR,

We both enjoyed Malta very much and have wonderful memories from there. I hope we will come back to visit one day for sure :)

Hi Zuzana,

I really like this kind of workout as if you design it right the first couple rounds can be your warm up and help in the cool down as well.

Never tried this the first time around (was to busy with work and getting this house remodeling finished). I wi try it today and post my times (if there not to embarrassing).

Freddy take care and I hope you’re feeling better. With the Vernal Equinox on Sunday spring is officially here and again we had a Moon even to herald the event. This is going to be the best year for two and all us ruckus Bodyrockers!

You chopped 5 WHOLE minutes off an already awesome number!!! You go girl, and send some of that stuff up my way!!!!

I’m impressed with everyone’s numbers! They are great! I started with 20 lbs and went all the way through the first round with it but switched to 15 for the second part in order to not overdo it. I know I dropped it down to 15 lbs quickly the first time I did this one and eventually put the weight down altogether, so I’m pleased with that.

2/10/2011 times – 24:53 24:14
3/23/2011 times – 23:30 22:39

So I’ve come to realize that it’s about time I bite the bullet and just order the damn sandbag. For awhile I’ve been using a back pack with 18lbs in it, but going through this workout and just about KILLING myself, I now know how critical these pieces of equipment are to bodyrock workouts…lol

This is my first time trying this and it was brutal! Zuz made it look so easy…boy was I wrong!

First Rounds 1-5: 14:30
Second Round 5-1: 18:58

Holy smokes! So happy that’s done! Now on to shovelling the driveway, why is there always one last blizzard before spring? Never a man around when you need one the most….uuuggggghh!

I just finished part 1 (18:39). Brutus is trying to get me to quit. think I know the answer. Ok here I go…

Wow – Amazing!! Congrats Audra!

As happy as I am about my ultimate groceries-bag with its 5 comfortable hand made bubble-wrap handles, I do regret that with the bundles of duct tape covering it head to toe, I destined the 8 kgs of rice, lentils, sugar, broth mix, etc. to live there happily ever after. – I mean, I had to suffer this entire workout with the 8 kg weight, couldn’t take a single grain out.

The first 5 rounds I completed within 16:04. Then, as I turned my back to have a sip of water, aliens must have came into the living room and smuggled an additional 4 kgs of volume-less weight into the bag, ‘cuz the next 5 rounds I dragged myself through with high-pitch screams and shaking legs every time I got to the sandbaggy bits. …but I’m not a quitter, so I did it all. Time of this half was 18:20.

Fourty pounds???!!! Is that 18 kilograms really, or I’m still delirious from my hot mess??!! Man, I couldn’t have done a half lunge with that weight. Good job, Chris – great time too, imo!

Hey Zuzana :) !! Hey Freddy… hope you`re feeling better!! I`m leaving a quick comment to share you guys my scores. Yesterday, I did the Gaga For Poker Face Workout and I beated my personal scores of about 1 or 2 reps or so. Today with the Hot Mess Workout, I didin`t beat my personal best for the first part (19.09 -19.34), but I did for the second part (19.12 – 18.55)!!! I`m happy to get my momentum back after my injurie and after having my bad cold :P I`m adding 20 min. of skipping as much as I can after a workout or exercise challenge. For my diet… it`s doing good!! It`s sugar shack time here in Quebec so Brutus is following me whenever he can.. LOL

Love you guys xx

Judith

omg it took me so much to do this workout and it was so hard to beat my old pb
old times from2/12/11 round 1- 16:56 round 2- 16:59

today round 1- 15:18 round 2- 15:42 !!!!!!!!! so happy to beat it, but it was rly a struggle, i didnt think the 2nd round was going to be this fast

20 x 26/10
Get Ups: 5, 4, 4, 5
Backward Lunge & Sandbag Press: 8, 9, 10, 11
Sandbag Squat: 10, 11, 11, 13
Burpees: 4, 5, 6, 6
One Leg Toe Touch: 11, 11, 13, 16

again!!!!

finally I did it
round 1: 21.47
round 2: 17.32
I did it in less time than last one :)

this is gonna be my workout for tomorrow (though i really dont like get-ups).

Redid this one yesterday. It is amazing workout,hard and fun! Managed to beat my PB (only by seconds, but that counts as well). My new time is 19:24 and 22:02. Not as good as Zuzana’s, but I’m glad I completed both parts, even though I came up with various excuses to give up. So I’m happy I didn’t give in to the temptation, especially because this time I used my 14.5kg barbell! Squats & lunges killed my legs!!! :)

Did this time challenge this evening after a day of travelling in the car and unpacking.  Felt great to move after sitting in the car for most of the day.
Surprisingly I beat my old score. However, I only do Part 1 of this workout. Workout criteria for me is that a HIIT workout routine has to be between 12 to 16 minutes.  On occasion I’ll surrender and do a 20 minute workout.
11 March 2011: Part 1 in 17:42 
27 Aug. 2011 : Part 1 in 13:26

If memory serves, I think I took a breather between rounds back in March.  This time no rest breaks.
I think knowing that I was only doing it once through helped!

Not sure I can shave any time off this but I’ll see what happens a few months from now.

Round 1: 09:40
Round 2: 09:50

SO hard on the thighs in the last 20 Get Ups, Jeezzzz!

My times back in February were 12-13 mninutes per round, so I guess things are going just okay :)
I used my 15 kilo (32Lb) sandbag.

Have a nice weekend, friends!

Love, Maria

Hi!! 
I did this workout today, considering I had more time to tackle this one (and I remembered very well this workout !! OMG…)
Now that it’s done, I’m covered in sweat, red-faced, panting, and happy for two reasons:
first because I’m over with it (haha!), and second, because I beat my old score!!  In February, 1st part took me 17:24 and the 2nd part 15:55 (33:19 minutes total).
Today the fisrt part took me 14:53 and the 2nd part 16:07 for a total of 31 minutes!!!
It’s encouraging (is it a word?), because lately, when I did an older workout, I was having a tough time comparing my scores… I seem to have lost strength and power somehow.
(I wonder why, as I still workout 4 to 5 times a week, as I did before.)  Anyways, today I pushed really hard, and it paid!  Yeah!

1st 5 rounds=14:10min+29lbs sand bag
BRUTUS!!!!!!
almast gave up, but took some weight out of the bag….
2nd 5 rounds= 14:04min +24lbs sand bag
Thanks 
+3 b’s for E

great time!

Hey Maria :)  I would love to see you go to Canada and host Bodyrock to see this amazing body of yours that produces such crazy times and reps:)  You killed it!

Impressive time Maria!

round 1: 17m 30s (beat my last score 18m 40s 27/6/11)
round 2: doing the sandbag press, lunge back I twisted my knee somehow :( in an absolute world of pain.
Must have been fatigued but lucky it was the back leg I think. 
So disappointed as with a serious knee injury I don’t know how long I’ll be sielined from bodyrock :( :(

Hey dear Audra, so lovely to hear from you :) I really missed a nice chat with all my fellow supporters here, over the summer. Thank you so much, that is just the sweetest comment ever! Believe me, I would love to get that chance (and challenge!)  But, as you know, I live in Denmark!!! Too bad. But I wish the new hostess ALL the best. I am looking so much forward to seeing her in action :) How are you? Going well with the heavy lifting? I am back on that track again 1-2 times weekly, besides daily Bodyrocking. And I love it!!! My pride is my 200 kilo leg press, ha ha. Have a GREAT weekend!!!
Love, Maria.

Thanks a lot, dear Jess :)

THANK YOU :)

Alana, I can just feel your disappointment.  Just do ALL the things you know you’ve got to do to rest and recover your knee.  As its resting and healing consider making up some legs-free circuits that will still really challenge you.  After Zuzka did the hands-free workout a lot of people requested a legs-free workout.  I do think those are handy for just such occasions as yours.  Rest up, you’ll be back! :)

I did this with no break, both rounds back to back, and went from 42 minutes in February, to 37:30 minutes in June, to 34 minutes today :D. I might still have a long way to go, but I feel proud nevertheless.

That’s amazing!!!  Good for you!!!  :)

Agreed!  I’m one of those people who asked for a legs free workout!!!  I hope it’s in the works!!  Feel better Alana!

Holy mother.  I was going through the first round of this workout thinking, either I’m getting good or this workout looked harder than it is.  When I first looked at it, it looked nigh on impossible (and that’s when I was assuming you just had to go through the exercises once!)   I got to the end of the round in 18:36 and thought I was finished but thought it was odd that I was finished much sooner than others.  So I took another looksee and realized I had to do it again, but backwards.  lol. The second time was MUCH harder than the first (did it in 20:26). 

Despite the fact that I’m leaving my mat out to dry and my hair is fully soaked (as well as the rest of me) I liked this workout because it was like a game and because, like many other workouts, when you get to the end you realize that that which looks impossible isn’t once you try! Thank you Zuz and Freddy!!!

I did it…. Round 1 took 21 minutes and Round 2 took 28 minutes.  Before the end of the first round I was starting to barter with myself:  Bonnie, if you finish this workout I will buy you that new sports bra and cute workout capris…before the end of the second workout I started to design the delicious protein fruit smoothie I was going to reward myself with.  I was just proud I didn’t quit! 

Also, on a personal note:  Six years ago today I got married, and before the wedding I was so obsessed with loosing weight and being thin.  I must have lost about 20lbs and I was a rail..my wedding dress was strapless and would hardly stay up because my “top half” just kind of disappeared.  I did it all wrong, the way I ate and exercised wasn’t sustainable (or healthy) and I of course gained it all back.  And then for years I felt like a failure at getting in shape…but I was using this false benchmark of health to measure myself by.  I have been bodyrocking just since July 4th, which I now call my own personal Independance Day, because from that day I have changed so much on both the inside and outside.  I turn 40 in March and I’m in the best shape of my life.  I feel strong, confident, level-headed, dedicated, energetic, and happy.  I thank you Zuzana and Freddy and all of you BodyRockers for helping me rock my life!

I’m doing well just taking a week off from lifting and Bodyrocking only.  I’m not quite lifting very heavy as you are because my knees and back I feel I have to be careful with.  But, wow, your squating 440lbs thats amazing! 

I am only pressing 200 kilos in the leg press machine, not squatting :) Which kind of job do you have? I am so glad to hear you finally get the benefits of some nice weekends off. As a service manager, I am also more than used to weekend work!

Hi guys,I did this wonderful workout 1 hour ago.The 1st round took me 20:37min. and the 2nd round-16:41min.  + 10 burpees for Erin

Thanks so much ,guys.
Good night to everyone:)

Oh leg press, sorry :-/  I’m a Respiratory Therapist 12 hour days but only work 3 days a week so no complaints there lol.  I was working weekends because day care is sooo expensive and had my two girls to myself during the week while the hubby watches them on the weekends.  Now I can finally be with the whole family a do things on the weekends like having a life now lol.

Ist round 15:29, 2nd round  18:49. During the second round, in my head I felt I was totally destroying the first round time then I saw my actual time.

Rats!  I only had time for one round today.  I have to shower and get ready for a formal party that my husbands work is throwing.  A four course meal with free spirits all night and lots of dancing and fun!  So I need lots of time for makeup and hair today.  Yay!  I love to dress fancy!  Oh!  My time for round one is 11:28 :) + healing burpees for Erin <3

Sweaty Saturday!  Wow!  This was a challenge!  For the first part I did it in 22:05.  I made a mistake: in the 2nd round I did 20 get ups… oups.  I was using my 8 pounds dumbells for the lunges press and the squats, but had to turn to my 5 pounds dumbells in the 4th round for the lunge press.  I kept the 2X8lbs for the squats though.  For the second part : 18:44.  Faster but felt slower.  I think it’s because I knew exactly what exercises were comin so I didn’t have to check every time.  Well my roomate just baked some bacon and offered me some, I said no thanks… but the smell is every where.  I’m going to eat lunch, right after my shower.  Have a great day!  and thank you for this workout!

I did it at the gym. I did not beat my old scores bu I will do it eventually
Part1 18 minutes (Old-18)
Part2 17 minutes (old-18)
I did 5 Healing Burpees for Erin and for my sister’s frriend who discovered this week, she has cancer.
Thanks Z& F

This one killed me! I used 45 pounds on the way down (this was a bad idea haha) and 35 on the way up. Im pretty sure the 45 on the way down burned my legs out for the 2nd round but my total time was 39 mins which was a min more than the last time I did this but I only used 30 pounds the last time so Im fairly happy overall :)

That would be fun!  It wouldn’t be exactly legs free–you’d still have to maybe use them, but you could combine a bunch of push-ups, reverse push-ups, and then maybe some great ab moves: crunches, bicycles, sit ups with sandbags…I want to say the 90 degree ball touch, but that still uses leg muscles.  Maybe it’s a “knee strain-free workout” instead of “legs free.” I have slight knee pain in my left knee, but I only feel it when I’m NOT exercising–don’t know if that’s better or worse!  :)

Sorry about your sisters friend.  will keep her in my prayers
Great Scores :)

10/15/11
This was my 3rd time doing this workout.  In the first round, I beat all my prior times, but round two was my longest round yet.  Combined I still beat my prior times, so I will count that as an improvement. :)

Round 1 = 15:29:50
Round 2 = 18:05:09
Total = 33:34:39

There were a lot of people on elliptical machines this beautiful day while I did this outside on the gym terrace. I think I had more fun & a much better workout than they did. Thanks! :) Maybe now I’ll go for a walk.

Just did this.  I’m kind of bummed with my scores because they are NOT lower than last time.  I had a really strong workout, though.  I think a lot of it is that this time I used a 35lb sandbag for the lunges, and last time I used two 10lb dumbbells.  That WAS the hardest part of this for me.  

Also, last time I held the sandbag on my back for the squats, which I htink is a lot easier.

part 1: 17:45 (16:14 old)
part 2: 19:32 (17:46 old)

I also rate my workouts, and last time on a scale of 1-5 (3 middle, 5 highest) I rated this one a 2.5.  Today I totally wouldn’t rate it that–probably a 3.5 or 4.  So maybe the weight difference is what really made the difference.

I entertained the fact of adding my sandbag to the get ups, but decided not to last minute–thank GOD!!! :)

My time in one round only :((. :23’59. Maybe my right knee let me improve this score next time.

Hi guys. i know I did this workout before, but can not find my scores. So i have now idea if I have a better score now. But never mind. I had a nice but really intense workout.
My time: 1st round: 22.20 minutes, 2nd round: 21.45 minutes.
Thanx guys..

Thanks everyone for the kind words. My knee is up like a balloon right now, it’s an old problem I had 20yrs ago but since starting bodyrock last January, I for the first rime had strength and confidence in my legs and was performing lunges, full squats and pistol squats. I know this is just unfortunate but I am sure my dedication to bodyrock and the strength it’s given me will help for a speedy recovery. Disappointed but will not give up! I will use this setback as a challenge to try to maintain my current body composition with my same bodyrock diet and alternative exercise after a recovery period.

this was tough for the mind more than for the body but i manged to finish both parts, 1st in +/- 22 min and 2nd in +/- 21… I’m very proud!! I like this kind of workouts once in a while mixing them during the week with the shortest ones from 10 or 12 min… It makes you feel you are really pushing hard.

I haven’t left a comment for a long time but I still here stuck with you Z&F and the rest of the bodyrockers. Experiencing amazing body and mind changes since march I really commited myself. Some time I will send you my progress for other bodyrockers to stay motivated.

Keep well!

well, I should really read instructions better before I start a routine………….I did 20 get ups for the entire first round…….lol……….the real funny part is that I still beat my first round time from before….hahaha
Switched to 10 get ups for the second round and my time really improved  ;-)
1/ 20:29 with 20 lb SB   old  22:22 with 2 – 10 lb dumb bells
2/ 15:58 with 20 lb SB   old 22:08 with 2 – 5 lb dumb bells

I still need to do the No Fear and I’m Crazy routines, but chose to do this one on my day off work because of the time involved…..glad I did

I beat my personal best today. Yay!

Old time 7/14:
Part 1 – 17:39
Part 2 – 19:31

New time 10/16:
Part 1 – 16:06
Part 2 – 16:31

After only getting three hours of sleep last night because of a sick kid, I barely made it through the first time.  I finished in 21:47 and by the last round I had to forget the sandbag.  I was exhausted.  I just don’t have it in my to do another round.  It’s annoying. 

Yesterday marked my 9 month anniversary of Body Rocking and I really wanted to do awesome on this workout.  Oh well, hopefully I will be able to get some better sleep tonight and I’ll be able to tackle an awesome workout tomorrow.

Eleven minutes and twenty eight seconds? Girl, you must have been rushing to that party ;-).
Hope you had a great time.

PB broken, yeah! In March my times were 16:04 and 18:20, today I did the two rounds in 15:35 and 16:33 – and I wasn’t even huffing and puffing. I just cannot repeat enough how amazed I am that I almost always improve my old scores. I still do. …even after 9 months of disciplined and regular training my progress doesn’t come to a halt.

My Score:
20 x 10/26
10 Get Ups: 5, 5, 6, 5
Backward Lunge: 14, 14, 13, 14
