Gaga For Poker Face Workout

Hi BodyRockers,

Things have been a bit crazy with Freddy away, we have been trying to keep going being so far apart and so many time zones away from each other. We are getting into the grove of updating again on a regular basis, but when I talked to Freddy today he was sick and on anti-biotics. He has some kind of chest cold that probably came from being tired from traveling back to Canada and then being in much colder temperatures :( I hope that he will be better soon and that he takes good care of himself. I have been asking him regularly how he is doing and checking in with him about how he is feeling so I’m sure he will be ok :)

Tomorrow we will be back on track with the reglar updates – and we are continuing on with this marathon of doing our favorite old routines. Please don’t be discouraged with comments right now – we are going to be posting all of the comments just as soon as Freddy gets feeling better.

Enjoy your workout,

Zuzana

Instructions:

Set your timer for 20 rounds of two intervals. The first interval is 10 seconds and the second interval is 50 seconds long. Your goal is to complete as many reps as possible for each exercise during the 50 second intervals. The 10 seconds in between each exercise is just enough to write down your reps. There are 4 different exercises in a particular order and you will go through them 4 times (each circuit takes 5 minutes and 4 x 5minutes = 20 minutes) – I just want to make sure that you guys understand the rounds and the intervals. You will be using your Interval Timer, Sandbag, Dip Station and exercise mat for this workout. This routine takes only 20 minutes so make sure that you are pushing at your maximum effort. Share your score in the comments below and let us know how did you enjoy this workout.

    I feel like I just went beast mode on this workout for sure in comparison to my scores from only a month ago doing this workout! Actually less than a month because I did it on Febuary 8th! This was my third time doing this and my scores just keep getting better and better! I’m just kind of waiting for me to stop getting better at some exercises actually haha!

    SCORES!
    1. surfer – 16, 17, 17, and 16 (most last time was 16!)
    2. round kick and knee crunch left (right had same scores) – 21, 23, 21, and 22 (last time my most was 17!)
    3. 1/2/3 push up – 18, 18, 18, and 18 (last time my most was 17!)
    4. ninja jump and sandbag pick up – 11, 12, 11, and 11 (last time my most was 9!)
    I did take a break after I got to the end of the first three rounds though :( My goal is to stop pressing pause! I guess THAT’S when I’ll know I’m really pushing it. I just looked at my last post and I only paused twice that time…damn…
    feel better Freddy!! and come back to Zuzana soon she’s probably lonely without you hahah <3

    QUESTION – do you or does anyone else ever press pause in the middle of a session? Sometimes I just feel like I really need one :(

    Err I think you posted a wrong workout video..it seems like the video is for “harder than ever” workout? Anyway hopefully Freddy will get better soon!!

  • Lena

    The new video is the Harder Than Ever Workout from Jan 2010?? Is that the one we were supposed to do? Oh well, I did Pokerface. Might do Harder Than Ever tomorrow then? I’m confused

    Hope you feel better soon Freddy. Take a rest and don’t worry about us Bodyrockers. The schedule is up so we will be fine!! Take care.

    Freddy if you see this comment, please get better soon. We miss you.

    As for our routine this week, I just printed the name and write the breakdown on my notebook and I’m ready to rock. Anyway, I’ve collected and saved most of our bodyrock routines/videos so I can keep coming back to them anytime I want it. :) I’ll post my score tomorrow.

    Zuzie, I know how you miss Freddy. You take care of yourself too as well as Cali and Charlie. :) Thanks for staying with us and help us stay in shape. :)

  • Lena

    P.S. I love your outfit and make-up at the start of this new video. The pink top with the pink lips – gorgeous! Looks like you did some major shopping while you were in LA? You should do a fashion haul again sometime! And I would love to find out how you do your make-up/what products you use too… That would be a cool video for the Life section :)
    You are so beautiful Zuzana and an inspiration to us all!! Thanks for everything. xxx

    Oups Zuzi and Freddy, the video is different from the workout ;)
    GET WELL SOON FREDDY!!

    Hi Zuzana,

    Okay, now you’re making me feel bad for poking fun at you. Freddy is sick? Probably caught it on the plane!

    Not to be a pain, but there are several things odd about the video. First, it’s either slightly under or slightly on top of Bodyrock Birthday Party depending on whether I view it in Firefox or IE. Second, you are doing a completely different workout from Gaga in it.

    I hope Freddy gets well soon and you take care of yourself!

    Okay, I did this workout this morning and Brutus was nagging me quite a lot…made me think I didn’t beat my February scores. So after I finished, I anxiously looked over my February scores and found out these:

    1. Surfer Exercise
    13-10-9-10 (old Feb: 11-9-9-8) (old Dec 10-7-7-6)

    2. Round Kick and Knee Crunch (LEFT Leg) – I modified this to Side Round Kick and Front Kick (try not to tap the hanging leg on the floor after the round kick – great for balance- could tap on the floor after the front kick- make it challenging by try to keep the active leg off the floor all the time – super tough!!) – didn’t compare to Dec ones b/c I did leg raises on the floor
    17-15-15-16 (old Feb 13-13-15-15)

    3. Round Kick and Knee Crunch (RIGHT Leg)
    16-15-15-15 (old Feb 14-17-17-14)

    4. 1-2-3 Push Ups
    15-15-13-13 (old Feb 14-13-12-14) (old Dec 10-11-11-11)

    5. Ninja Jump and Sandbag Pick Up (I used 20lbs backpack)
    7-7-7-7 (old Feb 7-6-6.5-7 -used 20lbs backpack) (old Dec: 5-5-6-5 (used 15lbs backpack)

    Can I still call myself beat my PB? :D

    Still lots of improvements here for sure!

  • http://www.makavelina.webnode.cz Nina_CZ

    Just done! :) Beat my old score just a tiny bit. Better in Surfer and 1-2-3 Pushups, other exercises plus minus the same :) I felt a little dizzy after surfers :D These up-down-up-down exercises still make me dizzy sometimes :) Good luck to me with tomorrows Hot Mess! :D that is the one I puked a little bit during the last time :-X

    Todays score:
    1) Surfer 10-7-6-7
    2) Round Kick + Knee Crunch L 14-11-12-11
    3) Round Kick + Knee Crunch R 14-13-11-11
    4) 1-2-3 PushUp 11-8-8-7

    Hi Zuzana,
    I’ve seen your new video for this workout on your YouTube channel, so I was wondering who’s filming you while Freddy’s away? Since the camera is moving someone must be doing it.. Is it Charlie? :D :D

  • Dheana

    Wow – those are great scores Chelsea! You really are a beast!

  • Dheana

    Ok, again – I can’t compare to a lot of the scores posted here by my fellow warrior Body Rockers, but it’s awesome to see even a little progress since the last time I did this beast. Actually, it’s funny seeing some of these high scores posted – I wonder how a person can move so fast! Incredible! (and inspiring!)

    1. Surfer: 11-8-6-7 1/2 (prev 11-6-7-6)
    2. Roundhouse/Knee Raise (l): 15 1/2-15-11 1/2-12 (prev 12-11-9-7)
    3. Roundhouse/Knee Raise (r): 16-15 1/2-12-12 (prev 12-11-9-7)
    4. 1-2-3 Push Up: 11 1/2-11-8-8 1/2 (prev 10-8-8-9)
    5. Ninja/Sandbag: 5-6-5-5- (old 4-5-5-5)

  • http://www.makavelina.webnode.cz Nina_CZ

    I felt like stopping after each surfers set :D I felt so dizzy and the fact that I immediatelly had to grab that dip station and RAISE MY LEGS, wow, that was hard… But I was telling myself “two more rounds, two more…. one more round… last 50 seconds!!!” and didn’t stop.
    Honestly, I have a Brutus speaking a LOT lately, wanted to quit a few times in the middle of the workout, but I never did (just once because I puked, lol), and I always feel so amazing when I finish, don’t let Brutus get ya! :) You are strong, and capable of so many things! :)))
    And by the way: GREAT SCORE, I am amazed by your surfer and pushup numbers!!! How do you do 11 Ninja jumps???

  • http://www.makavelina.webnode.cz Nina_CZ

    Same thing here Jos, some improvements, some numbers the same, or 1-2 reps lower in some rounds… :D I think I need more time between revisiting older workout :) I plan to do my first ever workout on my 1year Bodyrock anniversary to see the MAJOR improvement :D But it is gonna be in 6 months, so there is still a lot of time to work :)

  • Donna

    It is really amazing what you can accomplish when you really put your mind to work. I woke up this morning with a major mouth and throat infection and I couldn’t even swallow my own saliva. The first thing I felt was disappointment because I knew I wouldn’t be well enough to do my workout and this upset me. Surprising as this might sound I already had a doctors appointment to get my results for my blood tests I had done on Monday. Well after the doctors I went to buy my gargling solution and 11 hours later I had finished my workout:) These are my scores;
    1.Surfer 9,9,8,8 (Old Scores 9,9,9,8)
    2.Round kick and knee raise left leg 18,18,17,18 (Old scores 17,17,20,19)
    3.Round kick and knee raise right leg 20,19,18,18 Old Scores 17,18,20,19)
    1-2-3 Push Up 13,13,13,14 (Old Scores 13,13,14,13)
    Ninga Jump and Sandbag Pick-Up 7,8,9,9, (Old Scores 4,7,7,7
    I’m happy I got my workout done off to shower, get changed and GARGLE before hubby gets home and I get in BIG trouble for doing a workout when I am not 100% WELL…

    omg did this workout yesterday for the third time, i pushed so hard and felt like i was going to puke by the end of the first round lol.

    here are my scores, before (feb. 8) and yesterday
    1. surfers- 11,8,8,9 —–> 13,10,9,11
    2. rk&lr (r) 8,9,8,9——–>11,9,9,8
    3. (l) 8,8,9,9——–>11,11,10,9
    4. 1-2-3 pushup 12,10,11,13——>15,13,13,12
    5. ninja jump tucks 9,9,8,9——–>10,10,9,10 (+1 right on the buzzer)

    the ninja jump tucks are the most brutal, i felt like i was going to throw up almost, but i pushed so hard to beat last times scores. I really pushed on the surfers too because i remembered holding back in those the last time. its really hard to do them after going all out on the ninja jump tucks. overall tho, rly proud i beat my old scores, i pushed hard then too.
