Give Me a Reason Workout

Posted by Zuzana - BodyRock.Tv | In All Videos, All Workouts, Featured Articles, Today's Workout

Hi BodyRockers,

Zuzana and I were thinking today about what motivates us, and by chance my Aunt sent me a link to a video of a 92 year old Ginger Rogers doing the Salsa. I called Zuzana in to watch the video and we were both awestruck. I posted the video on our facebook page which you can check out here.

Here is a woman at 92 doing what most people 50 years younger than her can’t. It’s not an accident – it’s not because she was famous or has a great recall for dance routines that she was doing in the 1930′s – this woman has kept her motivation, and has trained for a life well lived. If she can do that at 92, what kind of excuse do we have?

Watch the video before you check out today’s 12 minute workout – even Brutus was speechless.

Enjoy your workout!

Freddy & Zuzana

Tereza_CZ

I haven’t done this workout yet but I hate Jump Lunges already:) However, I have a very good reason to do this workout – I’m training and losing fat for life so why not to do a piece of the work today – every day? That’s why I’m gladly going to push through these 12 minutes. I’m going to have half an hour of faster running afterwards but I have to go to buy my mom’s birthday present first. I also can’t wait for the new diet challenge! See you later, guys:)
Kirry

Ginger Rogers is amazing! No wonder you find inspiration in her. Allthough I have to admit; everytime her grandson drops her, I went: “Oh no..watch the knees!” O.o

Im doing the workout later today. First I have to convince my legs that everything will be okay and that Lunges are really not that hard *coughs*, and Im visiting my little baby niece, because Ive become an aunt, so Im going to hug little babytoes!
http://deeplytrulyelisa.blogspot.com/ deeplytrulyelisa

I can’t wait to try this out! I love santana push ups!

Ginger Rogers? wow, that’s some inspiration!
http://www.janetspreiter.com Janet

Great video! But why aren’t you doing today’s workout in stilettos?
http://www.janetspreiter.com Janet

whoa…wait a minute!…I just heard you say Ginger was doing something most 50 year old women can’t do. Ouch! I’m 53. So now I have to add salsa to my daily routine? It’s just the shoes that scare me! :) I think we should do today’s workout in our stilettos in honor of Ginger.

LOVE that you showed an alternate exercise for the leg raises for those who don’t have a dip station, it would be awesome if you could do that with pull ups for example also, and maybe other moves requiring equipment. I have most of the equipment but I sometimes like to do the workouts with friends who do not have the equipment so….Thanks guys!
Jessie

What is an alternate to doing chin ups if you do not own a chin up bar? :) Awesome workout – can’t wait to post my results!!! :) Thanks Freddy & Zuzana!

  I did reverse push up to sub the chin up.

This is not Ginger Rogers on the video you posted. And she is definitely not 92 years old. Ginger was born July 16, 1911 and died April 25, 1995. Hence Ginger lived until the age of 84 years old.

However, it still is an achievement to dance like this lady dances in the video … and this lady is about 72 years old, as per further search into the matter …so still = this is a big deal and an achievement!

I did the beginners mod (since I am pregnant):
backward lunges: 20,19,17,18,18,18
leg raise: 16
santana PU: 11
chin-up: 7
seated bike:60
one leg dead lift (no weight): 11, 13
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1179962561 Allison Halterman

I had to make a few substitutions because I am visiting my boyfriend, and he doesn’t have any kind of weights, or a chin up bar. He does have the dip stand, though

Jump lunges: 42
Leg Raises: 22
Jump lunges: 33
Santana Push ups: 11
Jump Lunges: 24
(sub) Reverse Push up on dip stand: 10
Jump Lunges: 24
Seated Bicycles: 77
Jump Lunges: 21
(Sub) Sumo Squat w/calf raise: 19
In this one I do a sumo squat as low as I can, while in the squat, go up on toes, then straighten legs while standing on my toes. Put feet back flat on the ground and repeat. I go slowly and tense my muscles to provide extra resistance.
Jump Lunges: 21
(Sub) In-and-out abs: 16
Starting in plank position, jump feet in close to chest, then back out into plank. That is one repetition.

I hadn’t worked out in a week due to sickness and work travel, and I was wiped out after this one!

I was starting to stretch after my Hot Warrior Workout on Thursday when a good friend of mine knocked at the door… I was sooo happy to see him, that I completly forgot to do my stretching!!

O.k. guys, I had my husband do this workout with me, today!!
It was his first, and I did it while he skipped rope for 12 minutes, for him to get the idea of how it works…… hahaha! When it was his turn, I pushed him hard, and I laughed so much because when I was doing it, he was kind of thinking that it looked easy enough, and was considering (and telling me) that 12 minutes of workout is certainly not very difficult, maybe o.k. for women, but men can take more, etc. etc…. So I laughed almost the whole time (except for the chin-ups, because he is quite strong and good at that), and I can say that the jump lunges almost killed him…
Anyway, it was really fun (mostly for me!!), and here’s my score:
1. JL 26
2. leg raises 22
3. JL 30
4. Santana push-up 9
5. JL 27
6. Chin-ups (assisted): 6
7. JL 29
8. Seated bicycle 50
9. JL 27
10. One leg dead-lift (L) 14
11. JL 28
12. One leg dead-lift (R) 15

I think you just need time and patience. I remember reading here that we can’t expect to see a real difference in our image before 2 months of consistent work. So, i guess, just keep going …

  Hey Janet,
  
  Your 35 jump lunges inspired me to push past my previous limits today – and I did 36 of them in my first round – a personal best for me! :) Of course, the wheels fell off the wagon after that, but Boy! Do I feel GOOD about those first 36! LOL
  
  Just thought I’d say thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Frederick and Zuzana,

The woman in the video is amazing and Ginger (July 16, 1911 – April 25, 1995) was also amazing. I agree everyone who is able to should lead an active life, but I also think you can over train and this could lead to major injuries that disable you! Thus there is path to stay on. We all must tune in your bodies communications to us and listen to them. This is the way along the path. Doing this we will enjoy long life with healthy useful bodies and as a bonus we can dance the Salsa as a septuagenarian or even a nonagenarian and look nice in a bathing suit. 8-)

Take care,
–Chris

Wow, you’re so strong, Cynthia. You beat Zuzana’s score…. I’m waiting for 2 hours to do this workout today… I just ate, that’s why…. I don’t know if I can beat your record but I’ll try.

Your elders are amazing…. I wish I have them too but they’re too far away. Lucky you. They’re your inspiration, I believe. :)

Gosh, lunges…. my weakness…. have to really challenge myself for this… gotta be strong for this. maybe I need to practice it everyday like my pull up. hmp!. :D
http://www.facebook.com/people/Maria-Lanier/100000216811315 Maria Lanier

For leg raise, instead of using dip station, just lay down on your back, hands on the side and raise/lift your legs up.

Nima, don’t be disappointed if you don’t see result. There is no shortcut, keep that in mind. Stop dreaming too much. Just focus on the first step – building your routine and lifestyle. Do not do on and off. If you want result, make little changes gradually but NEVER stop. In addition, keep visiting our little community here and read all the comments because you’ll learn from it. Nima, just be patience and stop expecting result right away because that’s not gonna happen. We have to be realistic and honest to us. Motivation starts from yourself. It’s a good idea to cling and be around with positive people, like what you are seeing here in Bodyrock. If you need a buddy, pick one of us here to be your partner in fitness to keep you motivated or compare your score in every workout we have.

Good luck and keep bodyrocking…. We’ll see you around here. Stay focus and do not expect too much but just do your job… before you know it, you’ll see result in no time… :)

Hello Sha_Naz,

I got a tip for you as Chin up/Pull up alternatives. When I do bodyrock outside and there’s no bar, I used my elastic band or power tube band as my alternative. Here’s the link in youtube for you see to see what I’m talking about.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWEOpAVZK88

….or use dumbbells and hold it like in the form of doing chin up. If you don’t have dumb bells, maybe you can use a bottle of water like a gallon on each arms.

Hope it helps!
http://www.facebook.com/people/Maria-Lanier/100000216811315 Maria Lanier

Hate and love lunges too… I’m also waiting for my time to do this workout. I still have 50 minutes to wait. I ate so I have to wait for 2 hours to do anything. :P Good luck to us. :)
Tereza_CZ

As I promised, I did this workout, although later than I planned, it was really busy day. My score:
1. Jump Lunges: 26 – 25 – 24 – 24 – 22 – 21 (no excuses but the floor and my shoes were slippy)
2. Leg Raises: 24
4. Santana Push Up & Leg Lift: 10
6. Chin Ups: 9 (assisted)
8. Seated Bicycle: 60
10. One Leg Dead Lift L: 9 R: 8
Then half an hour of nearly 5K pace, and then half an hour to have my post workout meal and get ready to go to theatre, really busy but great day. Now I had a super hot bath and my heart is still beating like after finishing a workout :-D Tommorow I will wake up and hopefully there will be the new challenge on site, I’m so excited that my heart is beating even more and I won’t be able to sleep:) Thanks for the workout and see you tomorrow!

Hi Fellow Bodyrockers.

I have a off-topic question and asking for some help. Im looking for a new pair of shoes suited for BR workouts. The shoes I have now (nordic walking shoes) hurt my ankles after skipping, give nasty sore calves and they give me blisters. Also they sabotage my balance when doing Lunges or One Leg Squats.
The last few months I have been working out on my bare feet, which I love, but Id like to use shoes for some exercises where my bare feet feel fragile. (Skipping, MountainC, Low Jacks, Jump Lunges ect.)
So Im looking for shoes that support my ankles and knees when im skipping rope and are flexible and soft enough when doing mountain climbers.

So to keep a long story short: What type of shoes are you guys using when Bodyrocking?

Thanks in advance! I hope my english is allright.

Kind Regards from Holland.

  I’m using Nike Shox…. actually, I also need to buy a new pair because, I think, my feet shrunk. I might need to get a narrow one.
  Good luck for searching better shoes.
  - Kirry
    
    Ah, the Dr House shoes. ^^ I like the look, but the padding is a bit too much or me.
- Cindy Beverly
  
  I use Asicis GEL-Kayano® 17, I wear these because I am also a runner but I also use them for my bodyrocker workouts. They are very comfortable, supportive I swear by this brand. Very good but expensive.
  - Kirry
    
    These look nice aswell, alltho they are expensive, but its like my mom always said: ‘You’ve only got one pair of feet, take care of them.”
- http://www.janetspreiter.com Janet
  
  I use Nike Free for the workouts unless they involve impact. Then I use my more cushiony and supportive Nike Pegasus that I also use for running.
  - Kirry
    
    The Nike Free is a nice shoe. Ill look into this one aswell. :)
- Lenka Slovakia
  
  I have Reebok Easytone. sometimes is hard to stand on a one leg or so but i practice balance…Thats what i telling myself, i hope is not kind of dengerous for legs… Does any of you have easytone?
  - Kirry
    
    The shoe looks really nice, but does it have two separate bits of padding on the sole? Is that the thing that messes up your balance?
http://www.facebook.com/people/Maria-Lanier/100000216811315 Maria Lanier

Really? You did one???? I’m also training myself to perfect the one leg squat all the way down without support but my knees, thigh, legs, I guess is not that strong yet… Gimme a tip how you trained yourself….pleassseeeee…

Congratulation, Rainha_DE…… I wish one day I’ll post that I did a perfect one leg squat too…. (I remember when I can’t do ninja jump tuck in and now I could)… :)
Cindy Beverly

I have a quick question and either Freddy or Zuzana you can answer this but I was wondering how long does it take you to come up with each work out that you do for us. I have went through practically the whole web site and haven’t found the answer for this one. Just a little curious???
http://www.facebook.com/people/Maria-Lanier/100000216811315 Maria Lanier

Oh, Zuzana, just a question, when are you going to show us how to measure our fats using the fat pincher??? I have one here but I really don’t know which part I should pinch. Thanks again…
AudraFit

:( I’m gonna have to do this one on Monday as I’m dead tired from a 12 hour work day today and gonna be gone all day tomorrow too. The advantage is my body will be well rested and ready to tear it up! By the way, upon reading all the comments, I’m impressed by the reps you guys are fighting for!

Hey Guys!

Thank you so much for sharing the clip featuring Ginger. She reminds me so much of a woman named Tao Porchon-Lynch. Are you familiar with her? She is a 92 year old Yoga instructor who, to this day, teaches, travels and practices yoga. Not only that but she dances too (a variety styles at that!) Men and women who continue to lead healthy, active lives well into their later years are truly an inspiration… it isn’t even fair to call them elderly or ‘old’. So many people today in their 20′s and 30′s don’t possess the energy, passion and spirit to do what they do! Check her out here:

http://money.cnn.com/video/news/2010/04/12/n_cmr_92_year_old_yoga.cnnmoney/

As for todays workout. Here are my scores:
1) 30

OOOOOh, I hate jumplunges :D
I am missing so much! Today officially 6 days without working out and it feels like forever :( I miss it so much, I am worried about loosing a lot of strenght :( But I do not feel any better, going to doctor tomorrow morning, hope she will help me to recover faster :)
- Julia A.
  
  Nina, don’t worry. Last week I could not work out for 6 days because of bronchitis, too. My body felt weak and bloaty. But this feeling disappears right after the first workout you will do, wenn you are well, again. You don’t lose a significant amount of strength or muscle in this short period of time!! (Even if it feels so in the first workouts after being ill – because the body is perhaps still a little weakened). But what certainly is important: eat well (fresh food and enough of protein,…) and take enough time to get well! :)
  
  Hope you get well soon,!

If you feel super uninspired, because you physically can’t do things and this has effected your motivation which gets you depressed, then you should start with steps. First get the injury checked out, thats very important, so in the long run your body is able again to fully do the workouts properly. It may take some time and you might need to adjust some excersises, but thats okay. Im going through this personally aswell, because my SI Joint is acting up, but I adjust and its getting better. So firstly take care of your body.

Then step two; can you figure out whats bothering you so much that it has effected your spirit? Are you feeling stuck, or are you afraid that you cant reach your goals due to the injury? Dont you feel supported or are you wondering why you are even trying? Write down your thoughts even if they feel very instinctive. Reading it out loud might help you discover whats bother you so much and if its out in the open, then you can work on it. So whats the thing behind the lack of spirit?

Step 3; Be very military and strict. This might help you get into a routine, which will make exercising easier, because you follow ‘the rule’ instead of trying to find motivation every day. So pick a time or your daily workout. Each day the very same time. I have 4 o’clock,, thats my workout time. I make sure I have everything done 5 min before. (exercise schedule, water, outfit, timer, ect.) So when the clock dings 4.. Im off sweating. This is ‘my rule’ and it helps me, because after 5 months of daily BR, this is my routine and this goes naturally. If I cant make it, then I pick my second time that I picked for days my routine is off.
So, this might come across as a bit too much, but for me 4 oclock is workout time, no excuses, no seeking motivation, no ‘I need to finish this up first’, nope..Sweat Time!

Step 4: Dont buy bad foods. Make sure you have no foods in the house that make you feel bad afterwards. If you have a snackattack then oops…no chocolate…well Ill take this homemade granola bar instead, or slice some apples with yoghurt and cinnamon. Afterwards you will feel so much better, then after stuffing Ben & Jerry down the pipe.

I think if you combine all 4, you might get out of your cycle, but its really upto you. If you are not motivated enough to change, then no one can help you. Thats the hardest thing. Its all upto you whether you want to do this or not. Sorry if I sound so tough and maybe a little ggrrrr, but I have climbed from a deep, black and depressed pit into a much better life by making tough choices and a change of routine.

Goodluck, I wish you all the best.
Kirry

Thanks all for the replies. :)

@ Anna. You’re thinking exactly what I mean, and the suggested shoes are really nice. I esp like the Keen shoe, so thanks for your reply. I’ll look into trail shoes and maybe even the ‘barefoot shoes’, because I dont want too much padding between my feet aswell.. Its kinda odd tho, once you are used to workout barefoot, you dont want really want those big, padded shoes again. :)
Kirry

Hahaha, indeed. Little cute baby pea toes. <3

You need to push at your max intensity to feel it :)
alira

oh my god, thats hard work! I’m done…
http://www.janetspreiter.com Janet

No way. They look as comfy as ballet toe shoes. I would have to wear a helmet as I am clumsy on heels. That being said I will check them out on eBay. I need to get my partner to take salsa with me. He would do better on the heels than me…he has ridiculously long lean legs…it would be a good look for him.
Kirry

Awesome shoes. Im reading great reviews about them.
Kirry

I see what you mean. I have a pair of tennis shoes here aswell, but the sole is really hard and not that flexibel. Skipping rope on them is great though.
Kirry

Cross trainers, thats a new type of shoe? I notice Nike is really on top of its game. :)

but sounding one note of caution–this is coming up for runners in boston so who knows if it’s applying to bodyrockers or not–reports coming in of some people taking the barefoot running thing a little TOO far (like running half-marathons/marathons without cushioning, on roads) and an increasing incidence of metatarsal stress fractures. remember that barefoot stuff should not take place on hard unyielding surfaces!

that said, how nice is spring barefoot bodyrocking going to be in fresh grass…

This video of Ginger Rogers made me cry! I loved it!!!! My grandpa is 91 and still does 100 pushups a day, rides his bike, does his own garden, mows his own lawn and takes my grandma for a walk (86), and they travel all over the world getting in every site they have always wanted to go to. She (Ginger) isn’t an anomaly! We can all be like this in our later years. There is no textbook out there that says at what age we have to have a wheelchair, lose our teeth, and not be able to lift our arms above our head. I refuse to fall into the trap of thinking “I’m too old for this”! FOREVER YOUNG= FOREVER BODYROCK!
http://kenjibankhead.posterous.com/ ashtromanius

After not being able to exercise for 2 weeks (I finally saw a Nurse-Practitioner that knew what she was talking about and gave me antibiotics and an inhaler) I did this as my workout today. I can’t believe how far I have fallen back! Wow… I wasn’t able to do the jump lunges after the second set and just did as many as I could, then just did alternating lunges, my pushups were atrocious! And I used to be able to do 11 chinups unassisted. I had to do ALL assisted. Disheartening, yes. BUT! By the end of the week I’ll be almost caught up to me.
Here are my scores
JL-29
leg raise-16
JL-21
Santana-6
JL-18
Chinup-8
JL-25
Bicycle-42

Now I’m off to jump rope… And later today I will do “today’s” challenge, so I’m back on track.

I wasn’t in the mood to do this one tonight, especially because of all those Jump Lunges and the fact that I had already done the I’m Crazy But You Like It exercise challenge during lunch at work.

    Look to Maria score !! She’s impressing !!
    Me I don’t know if it is psychological, but at 30reps I have to stop 2-3 s and I continue an stop on average to 40 from the second round !!
    Killer for legs all this jump lunges.
    But this morning I’m OK !! In shape to go to work :p
    I’m so proud to can do regular clapping push up which one I was completely impossible to do before, only on my knees. Even 1 was impossible !
    Thanks Zuzka for all !!!!
    
    I love so much this site that I’m still writing here to share with you Bodyrockers, but I’m laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate now !!!!!!
    Enjoy your day all BR !

      Indeed. I posted just after her but didn’t see it because now that she lost her avatar, I don’t notice her posts anymore :-
      
      For me it’s not psychological at all, it’s physical: when I reach a certain number, I just can’t jump anymore, my brain says “hop” but my legs won’t listen ! :-D

1) 40 ; (2) 17, I did lying down raises ; (3) 35; (4) 8; (5) 36; (6) 21, reverse push up with broom and chairs; (7) 30; (8) 28, fingers touching floor ; (9) 34; (10) 15; (11) 36; (12) 17

ONe of my favorite things to do is to step outside and sit on the landing while posting my scores and cooling down. :) Happy Weekend!!!

Well, I wanted to do this workout today so I could try to beat my scores from the last time I did it. Unfortunately, the video has been removed and I don’t remember exactly what a couple of these exercises look like. This post doesn’t even have pictures and descriptions of the exercises. You keep making such a big deal about all of the great new additions to the site, all of the new features and the wonderful ways the site is expanding. But at the same time, look at all the valuable content that is constantly being removed. Sure, you are adding new workouts, but you are erasing workouts at the same rate; I don’t see that as improvement. I really wish you would keep the older posts intact so that we could take advantage of ALL the workouts brtv has made available to us over the years.

  NOOOO!! THis was a great workout. I wish they wouldn’t remove the old workouts. I LOVE going back and doing old ones, then I don’t have to look at LISA! Christy
