Wow guys, I am impressed by the way you are having both Zuzi and Freddy’s voice on the same video while you are miles apart!!

Call me crazy but I decided to revisit the 400 workout today – burpees here, burpees there… All these variations of burpees make you love the standard ones!
I did not beat my PB. I remember enjoying my workout a lot last time and so it showed in my time (67’28″), but today I enjoyed it way less!! This post comes at the perfect time as I was not in the mood today… so does my time :S I did the routine in 75’15″… Promised I’ll beat my PB next time!
I still felt good after this torture ;)

Claire, they shot the video in advance. ;)

I did this workout this morning in the gym, with my twin. I know I didn’t beat my old time of 33 min something, because I was guiding her through it and gave her the beginner modifications if needed.

At times tho, I got frustrated, because Brutas made her quit in the middle of almost every exercise, and she didn’t even wanted to give the Low Jack & Jump up a go, because that was too hard. -.- This lack of trying was annoying and I couldn’t understand it, but due to my stiff habit of not letting Brutas getting to me, I finished my workout dripping in sweat.

I love her to death and I shouldn’t be saying bad things about her, but this situation was the perfect example of someone in the gym trying to lose weight or fat, but when push comes to shove.. they don’t want to do it. Well.. if you dont want to work for it, then stop complaining!

/rant

I remember last time I tried this I couldn’t finish it…and I am in shape…kind of…don’t be angry..just give her support that she needs, maybe she will be starting few times..but she will start!!!!

So…as for me, I am going to try this right now..will be back with scores

so…my score 26:24

Hi Bodyrockers,

Nothing to do with this workout…I’m taking a rest for a wedding today and a reception tomorrow. Listening to:Jessie J – Price Tag right now…cha-ching cha-ching! :-)

On working thru problems: I never use my workout to think things thru as it’s important to keep on track and focused. I usually talk things thru with friends or during work ponder them.

Woke up feeling pretty charged this morning, so I went for a presunrise hill run for about 55 minutes at a good clip. I took a fifteen minute breather to watch your video and tackled this. I did all the exercise without modifications or assistance, including the pull ups (although I confess my toes can touch the ground on my pull up bar). I have boosted my sandbag to 24.5 pounds. I finished in 21:52. I did a few more ab exercises and called it a great morning. Feel awesome and ready to tackle the day! Thank you. I do hope Freddy is feeling better. Being apart from a loved one is so hard!

After a year of trying, I know this is a lack of motivation, not a thing of being scared. I sound so mean, I know. >.<
I'm not angry tho, I just want to help her get into the shape she wants without force, but I can't carry water to the sea, thats useless.

It was the same with my brother,he used to mark me, and so on…and now he asks me for advice,we are sharing scores etc…so good luck to you…and her also!!!

Thank you, and my best wishes to you and your brother. :)
My twin and I both love Yoga, so we decided to put our common interest in that. I’m more then happy. I want us both to be healthy ol’ grannies one day. ^^

Uggghrrrr!!!! I was hit hard with the flu on Thursday night and I’m falling behind!! Severe headache, chills, body aches, conjestion, watery eyes, clogged ears, night sweats, sensitivity to sunlight… You name it, I have it. This bothers me!!! I’m trying hard to recover so I can hop back on the bodyrock train. Any suggestions to get rid of this disaster would be appreciated.

55 minutes Presunrise hill run!! and you completed in 21:52 mins!!! Wow..Janet you impresses me everytime I read your post =D
Anyway, it was very couldy today here and I was almost not in a mood to workout until I read Z’post. I’m glad I pushed through.

I didn’t really have a good sleep last night.My butt and legs are super sore from Hot body beach workout and the previous one. I woke up and felt so tired, not really in mood to exercise plus it was very cloudy and cold :( Then ,I checked bodyrock.tv and read what Zuzana posted. You message,Zuzana, really snapped me out of that “blah” feeling :)
I used 25 LBS. bag today and instead of a chair assist, I used resistant tube for pull up. It was hard, harder than using a chair. I had to jump little bit at last 3 reps :)
My old record was 28:08 mins.Today I finished in 27:51…17 seconds faster lol.
I hope Freddy is feeling better and Zuzana don’t feel so lonely :) He will be back soon before you know!!

Rest, rest and rest I would say :) Also, drink plenty of water, grandma chicken noodle soup also do wonder too. I had a nasty cold in January and was sick for like 2 weeks. I fell behind workout schedule a lot. It took me a while to gain my strength back,though. So, just rest now and when you feel better, take it easy :) We’re still here.
Take care!!

Rest, fluids, and don’t push it too soon! Get well soon!

Well, I don’t have to deal with cold weather, and that is pretty huge for motivation. That is why my run is presunrise (I live on the dry side of Hawaii). If I leave the house at 6:30 I will be melting! It is so hot here I don’t need a hot water heater at any point of the year.

Maybe you will inspire her!

Ha, loved this one! :) My knee is OK today! (Yay!!! Alternating hot and cold on the knee really helped, thanks Chris!!!!) It feels like new :D
I am gonna do this today :)
My old time was 35:03 (Did Reverse Pushups instead of Pull Ups and Knee Raises with Dipstation.) so let’s try to beat it today :)))

Kirry!
I have the same problem with my mom. She is always full of sayings like: I can’t do this, I am too weak, This looks so hard, I am not good enough, I will never be as good as you, I cannot jump that high, I cannot do 10 of these. I know exactly how you feel, I love my mom but I hate those constant excuses! The fact is that she was in a few relationships before where men usually brought her down so she felt like crap, and she believed she cannot do anything and she sucks in everything she does.
I feel Brutus taping my shoulder sometimes too, but I try to ignore him and push through. She usually gives up. Last time I showed her the 4 minute workout and she was so excited. “I can do 4 minutes! 4 minutes is nothing, I am gonna do them tomorrow morning!” she said. Around lunch I asked her how did 4 minutes go. She said that she didn’t do it yet, and she will do it later when I get home and do my own workout. It smelled like excuse to me. So I came home, did my workout and then asked her about hers. She came upstairs crying. She told me that she tried, but couldnt do more than 1 rep of Jumper. I was trying to asure her that ONE rep is nothing to be ashamed of for a beginner and that is it really hard exercise. I tried to explain that ONE is better than ZERO and better than giving up. I also tried to explain her that doing a beginners modification is not a shame, it is a GOOD start. I know there will be a lot of excuses still, and I feel like I have no more strenght to concentrate on someone else. I have my own issues and I really need to focus on myself, but i still feel guilty about not helping her out enough…

PriceTag is an amazing song :D I love listening to it during my workouts too, I purchased her CD and I have Price Tag, Do it Like a Dude, Mamma knows Best and Who is Laughing now in my workout playlist, while Who is Laughing now is my ABSOLUTE FAVE! :) Love the lyrics :)))
Anyway, Chris, I wanna thank you for your advice on how to cure my knee, alternating hot and cold helped and my knee is like new today :))) THANK YOU :)

Are you a real life woman or some kind of G.I. Jane like superhuman? :D

Glad to hear your knee is better :)

So update! :)
New score 28:34!!! The last exercise almost made me cry again :D Why is this one so hard? Killed my arms :D
Tomorrow morning I will do Hot Body Beach workout again, since I didn’t finish it on friday :)
Thanks for an awesome marathon :)

I did another older workout instead of this one today: http://www.bodyrock.tv/2010/03/12/banging-body-workout/

Finished it in 22:11

Used 15 lbs backpack for the swing and 8 lbs dumbbell for the Turkish Get Up.

Hi Nina,

I’m glad to hear the alternating method worked for you. It combines the best from both heating an injury and cooling one with little of the negative effects. If it returns you should have your knee checked out by a Doctor just to make sure there is no damage to ligaments or muscles!

I like the CD as well and listen to other songs on it, just can’t post a link to everything I listen to all the time…:-) The radio station I usually tune it is online as well here: C89.5

Take care,
–Chris

Way to go Nina! You improved your time by 6 & 1/2 minutes!

Hola Chica! You are lightening fast woman! You give me something to strive for but, I doubt I’ll be anywhere close to your time :) And wow! You sure love to run tho… It kills my knees so I don’t but, kudos to you for your daily mini marathons :)

I have a new PB of 22:42 for this workout. I only used a 20LB barbell for the swings tho, and I have lost some upper body strength because I had to use a rubber weight band for the last 25 pullups. I’m pretty sure it is because I haven’t supplemented my workouts with any weight lifting since the last time we did this workout. I feel and look leaner now tho, which is what my goal was. Not as bulky build before which is nice. But, kinda bummed that I lost some strength. Oh well, I’m still happy with my progress :)

She’s G.I. Janet! LOL

You shouldn’t have any trouble burying me, Audra. I am the one who is usually trying to keep up with you :D Yeah, pretty hooked on the running stuff. Been doing it for 36 years. As far as the knees go, it’s all about the right shoes and running all trails instead of ashpalt. I’ve always stuck with cross country on my runs. No cars!! Asphalt is sooo hard plus it usually has a slight slope to it.

Haha! In real life I am a 300 pound blogging couch potato.

That has a nice ring to it! I might have to change my name…

I go into oxygen debt when I type really fast.

Haha! It totally fits you well!

i got up 5 am thismorning to do this workout!!!!! i havent done this for months, since i stopped working out in the morning id do it when i got home from school. ive been so lately busy that i never went home until bed time, and skipped a few workout the past week. and started getting of track diet wise. i was sick of slipping up, so i decided its worth it to get up 30 minutes earlier and workout in the morning. this whole week i am getting up at 5 again to workout!!!!!!!! even tho sleep is so nice, workout is better!!!!!!!

i beat my old pb for thsi workout, from feb. it was 25:51
today it was 24:01!!! o yeahhh. and i felt so energized afterwards

I finished this in 19.18 min. I never kept a score the last time I completed this in Febuary but I am sure it took heaps longer:) Exercise 6 and 8 were modified because I don’t have a pull up bar or dip station so I did 30 pushups for exercise 6 and 30 leg lifts lying on the floor for exercise 8…I found triple knee tuck and side step push up the hardest as my arms were really burning…

My time 25.6 minutes

I did this workout today since I have yet to try it and the new workout posting is not quite up yet. My time was 26:45. I’m proud of myself since it’s only 39 seconds longer than Zuz! Mind you, I modified a couple things through out the workout so I won’t pat myself on the back too much LOL. I used a chair for the pullups and 123 one leg half squat and I also did the triple knee tuck side step push up as she showed in the beginner modification. Feeling GREAT after 20 minutes skipping and stretches!
Have a super day Y’all! :)

Beat my personal best today! 24:11 :)
Going on a 30min. run for some cardio then I’m going to enjoy this nice weather.

ok. first time, not so good, but wow! 37 minutes. i’ll try again soon :)

oh, but i accidentally did 30 crunches on each side, and full push-ups for each one at the end.

I also picked up this one yesterday, dit it in 22’07 (last time 22’51); like Vivi I had to do the pull ups under my stairs, very uncomfortable for the hands :’-( Still lost a lot of time on the last exercise, oh that one is so hard !

14’31: are you a ninja ??? :-o 

Done once again (22th May), with time 24:46 :) I had no idea I did this twice in the past, so I am very happy I beated both my old scores :))) The last exercise is still EXTREMELY HARD in my opinion :D But I was way faster with Reverse pushups this time. 

Did this as my workout today and finished it in 32:10… it was so hard! The last two excercises were the hardest for me to get through and I had to rest a lot in between reps, but I pushed all the way through and finished so I am proud of myself!

I did this workout this morning. Last time I did it on March 28 and my total time was 21:03 but I did not have a pull-up bar so I did push-ups and I did knee raises between two chairs. Today…. I have my pull-up bar and proudly did the pull-ups and hanging knee raises on it. My new time was 22:27 but let me say the last exercise is a lot harder after doing 30 pull-ups!

I repeated this today.  I didn’t beat my last time, BUT this time I did only full push ups.  Last time I did only 4.  Last time I used the weight assisted pull up machine.  This time I did seated pull ups on my dip station.
Time 3/26/11: 23:35 (only 4 full push ups, weight assisted pull up machine)
Time 6/26/11: 25:09 (all full push ups, seated pull ups on dip bar, 20# dumbbell for sandbag swing)

14:28 :)

I made a mistake it was 19.40min and not 17 !!

Incredible !! We chose again the same one !!! lol and of course you beat me !!! I lost a lot of time with pull up :( I’m very bad on it !Grrr My husband have to put me a bar in the garage, but when??!!! (I would like to put one between door but my husband say me no, because it would not be rather solid)

Very good time my dear ! 

I did it today after today’s workout : “haven’t had enough workout”
I beat my personnal time : 17.18 min !! yeahhh !!!

Ha ha, I also discovered we chose the same once again, when I read your comment on the newest workout :) So funny! I will try the new tomorrow morning – it looks like so much fun!! Was it hard??? Thank you so much, and your time is awesome, too!!! I still do chair-assisted pull-ups. My boyfriend put our bar on top of the door to the livingroom, very cool solution :)
Love, Maria

What was hard for me, they were these UGI squeeze ! I was so in pain after 60 reps ! My legs burned immediatly when I rebegan !!! It will be not difficult to you to beat my time !! It is not good, but I did the 300reps ! <o)
And I leave in vacation saturday morning !! And I think I take my gymboss with me, if I find time to make workout !!! What was difficult it is that in vacation  it is most difficult to plan a day, even 12 minutes! hahaha. So if my daughter makes nap I could do it !!

whoaaaa!!!!! 26:54

I did this workout today in 26:34. Pull ups under the stairs, knee hugs on the floor instead of knee raises and the last excercise took me the longest! Whoa I’m still dripping sweat. But it feels so great. 
Thank you very much you two!

YAY!!  That was a great workout!!  my time was 24:09 :)
Thank you Zuzana and Freddy :)

Zuzana & Freddy,

Today, I did this workout for the second time.

Original time: 32:33
Today’s time: 32:57.

While my new time is 35 seconds longer than my first time, I actually did the whole workout this time–without modifications. The first time I did it, I substituted another exercise for the sandbag swing (because I didn’t have one), did tricep dips off a chair instead of pull ups, leg raises lying down on the floor instead of the hanging knee raises and the push ups I did for triple knee tucks & side step push up were on my knees, minus the sidestep.

So, my victory today isn’t so much my time, but the fact that I was able to do all the exercises as they are. I’m getting stronger!! ♥

Just finished this workout, I last did it 4 months ago, i didnt beat my PB by one min :( tho this time i did assisted pull ups instead of 15 one arm push ups on each arm. 

instead of doing sandbag swings i did pike jumps ( 1 pike up and come back to squat position, repeat) i did 30 just like the last time and i did knee raises instead of hanging knee raises..

the exercises that took me the most were probably the 3 low jacks & jump  up, (I HATE THOSE!) and the tripple knee tucks with push ups. 

so in total it took me 27:19 min. And to cool down i did 300 jump rope skips. now off to do some stretching! :D 

25.03 26.09,  today 29.08 18.56 :))

I did this one for the third time. Instead of Pull ups I did seated Pull ups (I love this exercise for back :p).
My time 15.57 min for today . And after this one I did Beg for Mercy Wo ;)

Workout [1]
My time today:

32:12 min. Pull ups and Low Jacks were great burners! I can feel the´fat criing´:)

@Vivi_bodyrocker:disqus
 Vivi how could you go threw this in ~16min?!…oO!

Workout [2]-> http://www.bodyrock.tv/2010/08/10/beg-for-mercy-workout/

March 28th I did this in 33:44

Now (October 29th) I did this in 27:37

So happy! :D I shed 6:07 off of my previous time!

First time:
31:01 but with the following additions: on #3, i accidentally did full push-ups with the first 10; i did 25 on each leg of the one leg 1-2-3 squats before i realized it was 30 total, not 30 each leg; AND i did full push-ups for all thirty of the last exercise. so, i’m ok with it :))

I chose this for today and finished it in 26:38. i beat my pb for a min

i only changed 2 exercises:
side crunch: i did front crunches 30
sandbag swings: i dont have a sandbag so i did pike jumps landing on a squat position. 30

everything else i did the same. def the hardest for me are the last two, the low jacks and triple knee tuck push ups! they both killed me and slow me down! the pull ups were also hard, but less than those two, i did them in my pull up bar and did them jumping up instead of using the chair.

thanks!  

13min 55s Yeahhhh I beat my old score of 2 min less !! no pull ups bar so like the last time i did seated pull ups instead of pull ups.
Big sweat !!

13min 55s Yeahhhh I beat my old score of 2 min less !! no pull ups bar so like the last time i did seated pull ups instead of pull ups.
Big sweat !!

OMG I realized that I did a PU more in the second exercise ! I did Plank jump and 1 PU and roll over !! More proud of my time so !! Thanks a lot to all the hosts who permit me to beat my PB !! Whoot !!!
