Teenage Dream Workout (Formally Summer Abs Workout)

Posted by Frederick | In All Videos, All Workouts, Featured Articles, Today's Workout

Hi BodyRockers,

Freddy here – today we are going back to one of our older killer routines and trying to beat our old personal bests. If this is the first time you are going to sweat it out with this workout then make sure and keep track of your scores. Keeping track of your scores is vital to interplanetary space travel and also for making sure that you avoid hitting plateau. If you are constantly striving to beat your old times and scores you will be on the road to getting faster, stronger and fitter :)

Zuzana reminded me of something important today, and that is that these short workouts only deliver life-changing results if you push at your max effort. I’ve been slacking on the intensity lately and it shows. It’s not enough to sweat. You can sweat by eating chilli-peppers. These workouts are short but killer for a reason. You have to feel the boot in your butt or you might as well just go for a walk.

Enjoy today’s training.

Freddy

P.S.
Can you tell that we have Katy Perry stuck in our heads?

INSTRUCTIONS:

This workout is made up of 2 parts. The first one is a circuit of 4 exercises that you will go through 5 times and as fast as possible. I did it in 13 minutes and 3 seconds the last time and today I will try to beat my record. You guys can try to beat my time but don’t you ever sacrifise good form. Make sure to watch the video and check out the pictures below to make sure that you are doing all of the exercises right.

The second part of the workout is an interval training that takes only 4 minutes but you have to put all of your energy into this. It is important to remember that you can get all of the benefits out of short workout like this only if you push at your max and the workout feels super intense.

Slide Under with Sandbag – 10 reps (1 rep is towards one side)

Grab your Sandbag by the handles and bring it up on to your upper back. Imagine that you have to duck under an obstacle and for that you have to really bend over pushing your hips back and keeping your back straight. You will be sliding under the imaginary obstacle from side to side. Beginners can do this exercise without the Sandbag.

Sandbag Sit Up – 10 reps

Lay down on your exercise mat and grab the Sandbag by it’s handles with your palms facing forward (see the grib on the pictures above). Keep your knees bend and your lower back pressed into the mat. Exhale, engage your abs, and with inhale roll your upper body forward and up into a seated position with the Sandbag above your head. Keep your arms extended at all times and shoulders away from your ears. Reverse the movement and roll back into the startig position. Beginners can do this exercise without the Sandbag.

Rolling Knee Tuck & Push Up – 5 reps

Place your shinbones up on the Ballance ball and get into a plank. Your hands should be underneath your shoulders and arms extended. Keep your abs tight and your body in one straight line. Do not drop your hips. Roll the ball forward contracting your abs and bringing the knees towards your chest. Roll the ball back and do a push up. Beginners can skip the push up and focus on rolling the ball or just holding the plank for at least 20 seconds.

Diagonal Knee Raises – 10 reps total

Grab the handles of the Dip Station and move your extended legs to the right. Bring your knees up as high as you can and then extend both legs down and to the left. Each Time you bring your knees up counts as 1 rep. Make sure not to shrug your shoulders and to keep your abs tight.

Beginners can leave one foot on the ground, but don’t forget to switch sides after each rep.

4 minutes of High Intensity Interval Training

Set your Interval Timer for 8 rounds of 5 seconds and 25 seconds intervals. You will be doing 2 exercises back and forth and your goal is to do as many reps for each exercise during each 25 second interval. The 5 seconds is not long enough to write down your reps but count the for yourself anyways because it will help you to push harder in each round. I did about 78 reps on average for High Knees and 48 for Pendulum. Remember that you really have to push yourself to the max because it should feel super hard. If it doesn’t than it means only one thing – you are not pushing at your max effort!

For those of you who don’t understand the intervals, it works like this:

5 seconds rest – High Knees – 5 seconds rest – Pendulum – 5 seconds rest – High Knees….etc until your timer tells you it’s over.

High Knees

This is basically running in place but you have to drive your knees as high as you can. Don’t bend over – keep your chest up and abs tight.

Pendulum

Get into the pike position with your hips pointing up towards the ceiling and your back straight. Extend your left leg out to the side as high as you can. Keep your right leg slightly bend and the heel off of the ground so that you are standing on the ball of your right foot. Jump and switch legs keeping your abs tight and engaged. Each jump counts as 1 rep. Keep a good pace so that you complete as many reps as possible during each 25 second interval.

how do you know that u’re in that point when your are giving ur max effort and not just sweatting??
- AudraFit
  
  Its when you keep pushing through when there is nothing left of you to give.
- Stephitza
  
  You know because you can’t push any harder or go any faster. You don’t let yourself slack off.

  I usually find that I can’t breathe, muscles are shaking so bad, or I feel like I’m going to puke! lol

I don’t have a ball. What exercise can I do that will give me similar benefits?
- http://aphrodiitee.deviantart.com/ Isidora
  
  last time i did it, i did it without any equipment so i did all 50 reps at once instead of doing 5 rounds. this is what i did:
  
  1. slide under (no sandbag). 50 reps
  2. sit ups: 50
  3. Elevated push up + knee tuck: 30 reps
  4. Diagonal knee raises with 2 chairs: 50 reps

  If I didn’t have the fitness ball I would elevate my legs on a chair in the plank position and do a push up from there:) Hope this helps!!!
- AudraFit
  
  On tile maybe a couple of towels your feet can slide on or on carpet try paper plates. Maybe placing your feet on a chair with wheels? If that don’t help then I would just do commandos.

    yup. i sub this plank knee tuck with pushup
- tee
  
  last time a lot of people said they used an office/computer chair on wheels,
  
  or you could put your feet on paper plates and drag them toward you, so they slide on the floor(or a towel, depending whether you have flooring or carpet)
- Anonymous
  
  Last time I used a chair and put a towel under the feet to make it slide more easily. I was doing it on a tiled floor and the chair got stuck by the tiles sometimes… But it made it more challenging than with the ball so that was great!

  Thanks, everyone!! I have a rolling knee chair that worked perfectly. It hadn’t occurred to me to replace the ball instead of the exercise. Thanks!!

ok my time was 10:49 and my scores for high knees 75 72 67 73

i did this workout a couple of weeks ago, so maybe i can beat my time from just a couple of weeks! I am so up for the challenge! will do this one tomorrow morning, bright and early
Dheana

I remember REALLY liking this one – thanks for bringing it back. Those ball roll/ push ups are so challenging and super fun! Can’t wait to do it tomorrow morning….

You guys are going to love your acting class, it’s so much fun and so great for getting over your inhibitions – not that I think you guys have any… :) I took classes some years back b/c I’d always wanted to and fell in love with it, got an agent and actually landed a commercial and a movie. It was a blast…come to think of it, why did I ever get out of it….hmm, I feel another personal challenge coming… :)

Have fun guys!

Finally one where I can see if I can beat my personal best (haven’t been here for too long). Can’t wait to try it tomorrow after swimming :)
Vivi

What I love your clothes on this picture !!!<3<3
I did this workout few days ago, and my time was 9.33 with average 80 high knees & 60 pendelums.
I'm not sure to beat my score but it's a great workout so i will do it this afternoon & try to beat my BP !

I have no ball too, and the last time I put my feet on the sofa and it was good. That slid decently.

But I have to admit that my body is in pain with yesterday's workouts. And in more my shoulder always hurts me. I had to badly push with one arm push up that I did :(
- Donna
  
  Please don’t do a workout while your body is in pain:)
  
  I learnt the hard way to always listen to my body…

Hi Guys,

I love Katy Perry and this one best!

Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlyXNRrsk4A

It’s a pretty funny video!

–Chris
- http://www.makavelina.webnode.cz Nina_CZ
  
  lol Chris, I was watching this video last night, it is so funny :D :D
http://www.makavelina.webnode.cz Nina_CZ

12:20 for the time challenge part, didn’t count my reps for highknees+pendulum, but max effort it was, 100%, I am super dead and happy :)))
I am not the biggest fan of Katy Perry (I am more of a rock-girl and 80′s-girl), but I love the E.T. song for some reason. I recently saw a video too and it was super nice. I don’t own a TV, so I don’t watch music videos, I only watch some on Youtube if the pop out there. This one was very well done, I like when music videos are telling a story and not just showing pretty people dancing :D
Great a.m. workout for me! Sun is shining like crazy, gonna shower, have my breakfast, put my sunscreen 30+ on and let’s go outside with my backpack! :)
Can’t wait for tomorrows workout!
- Donna
  
  The 80′s was the best era in music!!! Enjoy you day Nina:)

    Totally! :)

  oh :D another person without TV :) you always get so weird reactions too?
  
  all the best
  
  fairy
  - http://www.makavelina.webnode.cz Nina_CZ
    
    Yes, a lot of weird reactions like: Why don’t you have a TV? You can’t afford it? Of course I can buy one, but I dont see a point. I never watched TV even if I had one with my soon-to-be-ex-husband, and the fact that he was watching oit 90% of the time was also repetitive for me, so I really don’t need that box of evil at my home :D I am never bored, so I don’t need to crawl on a coach and watch some meaningless soap operas or reality shows, I have my Bodyrock, my Kindle, my bicycle and my music and my gmail to keep me entertained :D I have all my favourite TV shows and movies saved on my HDD (Battlestar Galactica!!! Just started watching again after 3 years) Yay for no TV at home :D
ingrid haustein

Holy sore muscles, Batman!
Part 1:
Time: 21 minutes 33 seconds. No sandbag. A big thank you to everyone that made suggestions to replace the ball. Some of you suggested an office chair with wheels. I actually have a rolling “knee” chair, and it was perfect for this! Thanks!
Part 2:

pendulum total: 101

  Well done you! I always love to read your posts as I can almost feel how much more positive you are compared to your first post. These workouts are so good for the mind as well as the body I think do you? Sx
  - Anonymous
    
    Yes. It is great for the mind. It’s motivating, energizing, and all around positive. It’s great knowing that you’ve done something good for your body each day. There’s also the satisfaction you get from having completed a daily goal.
    I really think I’m hooked on this. I can’t get myself to go to bed at night if I haven’t done the day’s workout. :p
- Dheana
  
  Nive work FBG! You’re doing awesome!
Samantha R

I improved so so much this time…..whaaaaahoooo! Thats set my day up nicely and cheered me up a bit (hubby is in Australia at the moment and I’m struggling to get to speak to him:((

Part 1: 11:51 Including running through to the garage for the dip station (prev time 14:22)
Part 2: High Knees 84, 78, 80, 79 (prev 76, 70, 76, 77)
Pendulum: 53, 52, 53, 56 (prev 42, 48, 44, 49)

I’ve noticed a massive improvement in my pendulums – I used to hate them because I was so bad at them and couldn’t understand why. Yet I power through them now and my legs are higher than ever. So pleased thank you both. Enjoy that heat.,….its p***ing it down here. Sx
- MariaBjørgJepsen
  
  NICE improvement, dear Sam :D
  - Samantha R
    
    Thanks Maria – my time was so bad last time because not only do I have to run backwards and forwards to the garage and my dip station but I also fell off the ball LOADS because it needed air in it. Must have been so funny to watch! Sx
    - MariaBjørgJepsen
      
      Ha ha, I am sorry for laughing, but you are right: it must have looked quite hilarious :D As long as you didn’t hurt yourself – nothing funny about that!

  Congrats on such an amazing improvement Samantha! *high fives*

Hi everyone, I will do this workout later this day, but have a question also.. Do any of you guys have a problem with armfat.. With all these workouts my belly is really getting flatter, so happy with this! But my arms don’t seem to change.. I have quite some arm fat and this seems to be really hard to get rid of. Do some of you have suggestions? What works?
- Anonymous
  
  I also have this problem. I had lost about 8 or so kg and seemed to lose everywhere but arms. Mind you that was before bodyrock- that was gym cardio, strength and classes. Have put 3kg back on as stopped exercising fso hoping to lose that and more.. Especially from my arms as I feel like I have man arms as they are big ( the muscles seem big and masculine but there is fat covering them too
  - Annebel Wind
    
    I am glad that I am not the only one… Thanx for responding.. I hope for both of us there are some bodyrockers who have overcome this problem and have something for us.. Because I want nice muscular arms without the fat sooooooo much… It’s just a nasty place to have fat, when you wave to someone and the backside of your upperarm is flapping around.. This makes me feel like some old lady sometimes.. Don’t like it… So alllll the help is welcome…
    - Anonymous
      
      I completely know what you mean… I desperately want nice slim toned arms!… This is the first thing I notice on other women now. The thing that I have heard is just to keep on going with workouts and eating lean foods as it is the last place you lose it apparently… I struggle with the eating side of things so I do really need to try with this. How is your eating? Do u do bodyrock every day?
      - Annebel Wind
        
        Yes I bodyrock every day. With the eating I follow the primal blue print: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-book/the-primal-blueprint/ This feels really natural to me. And I see results, but not on my arms jet. So I may have to be more patient about this, but thats hard. I know I won’t give up and just keep on going whit this. But still, if there are more tricks to losing this fat.. I’d like to know. I will probably try to add some more ricep exercises to workouts, if I have any energie left :D
      - MariaBjørgJepsen
        
        I have JUST the same problem as you, dear ladies! I have always had big, wide and strong arms. I really dream of slim but toned female arms, too :(
      - Anonymous
        
        Let’s all set ourselves a goal to keep on going to get nice lady- like toned arms. Samantha- I lost those upper thigh bits last time I lost weight through doing lunge jumps, squats and wide, deep squats holding a 10kg weight in front of chest (3 sets of 10 to start with that and however many for the others… I think I was doing 5 sets of ten with those and also including pushups and tricep dips on stairs at the gym along with two sets of 100 diagonal punches to the side in front of me and diagonal down to the ground with a 1.5 dumbell in each hand alternating sides. If u go to a gym there is a hip abductor and machine which does the opposite and they are also awesome for that area).
      - MariaBjørgJepsen
        
        The only time in my life I lost that upper-inner-thigh fat was when I had a lame eating disorder. It is the absolute LAST place I will lose my fat, so I guess I have to accept my thighs like they are. I don’t seem to slim down “up there”, only becoming much more toned and tight from the training. But they don’t get smaller :(
      - Annebel Wind
        
        Yes I bodyrock every day. With the eating I follow the primal blue print: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-book/the-primal-blueprint/ This feels really natural to me.

  Hi Annebel – I think most people seems to have one place on their body where the fat seems to come off last (mine is a little bit just at the top of my thigh) but its just a case of giving it time keeping up with the workouts and watching your diet which you obviously do. Zuzana has done a post about ‘problem areas’ in the past and she said the same thing. Sx
- mirah
  
  My problem area is butt! Sometimes I feel it NEVER going to get better, but beforepictures show that Ive had improvement, not so much as other parts though. Lets keep rocking girl, youre not alone:)

Hi guys, can someone give me a tip on what to use as an alternative for the dipping station? I looked everywhere on the internet and seems like there is no way I can get something like that in UK, they don’t even sell the right sandbags here or do I just not know where to look? Any help would be highly appreciated. All the dip stations I found on Amazon,e-bay etc… are just not the right ones. Shame they don’t ship the one advertised on this site anywhere outside the US. Thank you x
- Annebel Wind
  
  Hi Irena,
  
  I have the same problem here in Holland. What I do is use something else. On one side I lean on an kabinet and on the other side a kitchen stairs.. For the reverse push ups I use a broomstick between a kabinet and the kitchenstairs, you can also use to chairs. For the sandbag I use a normal sportsbag and fill it with weights and some sweaters, so I will not hurt myself.. So look for some other options in your home, be really creative.. Good luck..
  - IrenaCZ
    
    Hi Annebel, thank you for your tips, I thought about it earlier but think I would have to relocate all the furniture in the room:-)) I’ll think about the chairs though. Also just found out that they do ship the dip station to Europe but it’s a bit pricey. Thanks for the sports bag idea, that’s me all set up for tonight’s workout then:-) Thank you again x
- fairy
  
  Hallo Irena,
  
  I live in Germany and had the same problem. I ordered a dipstation over amazon that you can put into a doorframe (good if you also dont have so much space) of course you cant walk through the door as long as it is in, but it is fast put in and out. Of course it doesnt look the same as the model used by Zuzana, but for 90% of the exercises here it works just fine.
  so if you cant substitute it with something in your home (my chairs arent stable enough) maybe you’ll find another dipstation to use.
  
  All the best

The more the hours advance and the more my body is stiff !!!!
I’m not in good shape to beat my PB finaly :(
I have pain everywhere!! shoulders, legs, abs, back !!!
What I did yesterday, killed me !!! hahaha
- MariaBjørgJepsen
  
  Sweety, that is what happens when you do 3 workouts a day :) It sounds like your body needs a very light workout today! Take care. By the way, you inspired me yesterday by doing the “More Pure Torture” workout and I loved it! Such a massive sweat bath, ha ha. I will do this one tomorrow, since I already did the “Transform Your Booty” this morning and my hips are sore. I don’t want to be in hard pain for tomorrow’s training. Kisses!
  Love, Maria
- Dheana
  
  I agree with Maria – you push so hard Vivi, you leave us all amazed. It sounds like your body just needs a bit of rest and recovery – and deserves it! :)
  
  BTW, do you take Glutamine? It really does help for repair and recovery.
  
  Take care and feel better Vivi!
  - Vivi
    
    Glutamine?? No I don’t know what it is ! In fact, I take nothing !!
    The most difficult is to begin the workout. After I’m always in shape ! The MAGIC of Zuzana’s workout !
    Today I warmed up 5 min and it was good ;) even if I feel my body a little in pain again.
    - MariaBjørgJepsen
      
      I know you are addicted to the wonderful rush you get from completing a workout, but don’t be too hard on yourself, dear Vivi. I am ONLY saying this in love and concern for you. Your body is giving you a signal when it is being sore. Not that you shouldn’t do a workout at all, but maybe keep it light. Your body will not develop further, if you never give it time to rest and build up. Do you know what I mean? I know you have gotten used to doing 2-3 workouts a day now, but please, don’t feel bad about yourself if you don’t do so many every day. Remember, Zuzie only does 1 daily!!!
      Love, Maria

        Thanks to take care about me !! <3<3<3<3
        In fact I used to make 2 a day. It's a good rythm I find. My body is in pain, and it is a little my fault. Because yesterday with "more pure toture wo" I didn' t do good one arm push up. I'm bad with triceps so I push very hard, but badly I think ! It's a little pain, don't worry, but not very pleasant with some movements ;) that's all.
        
        On the other hand we go on holiday in 15 days, for 10 days, so the rythm is going to slow down !!
      - MariaBjørgJepsen
        
        I really like you, so I have to take care of you, dear :) WHERE are you going on vacation??? That is so exciting for you :) As long as you don’t hurt yourself or get any injuries, sweety.

  Isn’t that an incredible feeling?! It’s hard for someone to understand who hasn’t experienced it, but it kinds makes you want to shout it from the rooftops, doesn’t it?! enjoy the good feeling – you’ve earned it!

  this will be my second time to do a workout twice! The first time I
  didn’t look at my old scores (which were maybe a month before) and after
  the workout I felt disappointed cause I thought I hadn’t beaten them by
  much. Then I looked at the old scores and I had beaten them by alot!! I
  was so happy. Hope this one goes the same way for me as it did for you!

the clock running and aimmed to beat my time on the second time through…

Total 24:06 for 10 rounds

  I could do another one after; I chose “Hottie Body Wo”. It’s a great complete workout ;)
  And 200 reps of abs to finish
  Now shower !!
  - MariaBjørgJepsen
    
    Did you do 4 today?????
    - Vivi
      
      4 workouts?? NOoooo
      I did “Summer abs Wo” + “Hhootie body workout” ;) and after abs exercises for my floating! hahaha
      
      My kids are in holidays, finished the school ! SO I did my workouts the afternoon. But when there was school and that I did my workout the morning, I was tempted to do again workout the evening (but I never did twice in a day. No it’s too much !!) !!! And you ??
      - MariaBjørgJepsen
        
        Floating tummy??? Ha ha, you always make me laugh so much :D The picture of you in my head, standing there, looking down at a total “pregnant-bloated-tummy” is SO FUNNY!!! I know the feeling of having a balloon belly is NOT funny at all, since I often have it myself, but the thought is just…. I laugh out so loud!!! The school kids are also on holiday here in Denmark now. Do your children stay at home with you, or do you have some kind of day care/club they go to every day? We have that here in DK. Places where the kids can go, stay with friends, play, be creative, do sports, sleep overs, discos, cooking or joining on daily trips and tours together. Almost for free!
        I mostly do 1 training a day, but if I have a lot of freetime after work (I work 5-6 days a week, almost full-time) I sometimes feel like doing one more workout. But only if my body also wants to :)

I dont know where else to put this, but I was recently told that I was getting too skinny. Not in a good way.
I was told that I was already relatively slim but curvy and there was nothing to change. So why did I radically change my body? My breast and butt have shrunk in my 6 pack quest, I have gone down from 127 to 123 in 5 months and have lost 2 inches around my waist, I am about to be 31.

I tried to explain that my goal was to get fitter, stronger, and eat clean….the weight loss and breast reduction is a bi-product.

As I finally completed “550 fat massacre” (19:59) and reflected on these comments I thought, am I going to train less and eat more crap so I can have more fat on my body (breast and butt)?
I have never felt better than I do now but I can only imagine that since I will probably not reach a plateau soon, I will only get “skinnier”. This is the first time I have been insecure! Now that I feel the greatest I ever had!

I will feel better, I hope,…..after I push through this baby!

  Congrats on having the dedication to change your lifestyle and your body :) If you’re losing weight without trying, you may just need to eat more. I don’t know exactly what you mean by eating clean, but if it’s only real food, you may not be getting as many calories as you think. I switched to paleo about 2 months ago, and it always surprises me how much I have to eat everyday, even while shooting for a calorie deficit! Real food just doesn’t have many calories and is incredibly satiating. If you’re bodyrocking and physically active in other areas, you need well over 2000 calories a day to maintain your bodyweight. There’s BMR calculators online, and from there you can determine your daily caloric needs. You may want to try tracking your calories for a few days to see exactly how much, or little, you’re eating and go from there.
  - Anonymous
    
    THANX FELISHA!!!!
    I agree, was talking to a dietitian, that explained to me that I had to now maintain my weight because the type of exercise I was doing was not going to allow a plateau.
    So, he said an easy way to up my “good calories” was with lean meats, nuts, and peanut butter and banana or jelly sandwiches for treats.
    By eating clean I mean no canned foods, minimally processed foods.
    What is paleo? My boyfriend has been vegetarian for 20 years…so its hard for us to even cook together in the same kitchen because he can get sick, and I eat chicken and fish, not into red meat much but I can eat a burger or ribs from time to time.
    
    But he warned me not to go changing exercise or eating habits because of the opinions of others….If I feel good and my food choices are healthy, keep doing what Im doing.

      I hate that I have allowed someone’s assessment of me bother me.
    - Felisha
      
      You can find more about paleo at robbwolf.com.If you check out the FAQ, he gives you the basics. “Primal” is another type of paleo that’s less strict. Mark Sisson created marksdailyapple.com years ago, and is the man behind “The Primal Blueprint.” Basically, I eat no grains, legumes, and little dairy. The majority of my calories (often around 55-60%) comes from good fats. Around 25-30% comes from protein (minimally processed) and the remainder are from carbs in the form of fruits and veggies. Paleo isn’t “low-carb” by definition, but when you’re avoiding bread and sugar, most people land below 150g/day without thinking about it.
      
      The best part about going paleo for me, is that I’m no longer on a blood sugar rollercoaster all day. I eat when I’m hungry, but if I get busy and miss a meal I still feel fine. I used to watch the clock to see when my 3 hours were up and I could eat again. I’m so happy to be done with that!
      
      Try not to worry too much about what others think of you. You might find that people’s negative comments about your dedication and results are more about their own lack there of. I’ve lost 45lbs since my daughter was born, and when my MIL came to visit last week, she was really uncomfortable around me. She had found my 45lbs, and probably more! When my husband and I came back from a quick date, she had some Dr. Pepper in the kitchen. As I walked in, she was pouring a glass and said, “I’m being a bad girl.” She acted weird about her food choices all week, and actually asked my husband to step outside for a minute so she could ask him if he was ashamed of her for gaining so much weight. She told him she had a thyroid issue, but they ate McDonald’s everyday they were here because sometimes she “just needs a Big Mac.”
      
      Just keep working hard, and don’t let anyone hold you back! Keep striving to be the best you that you can be, and maybe you’ll inspire those around you to make their own changes :)

good timing on the intensity advice, freddy! i think i’ve been a little slack as of late too, but i kicked it up a notch last night doing this workout and shaved a little over 2 minutes off of my time!

Part 1: 11:24 (down from 13:52)
Part 2: Totally forgot to count reps =( but, i felt great afterwards! =)

ARGH!!! My worst nightmare came true!! After I finished part 1 and pushed the STOP button on my timer, I accidentally hit another button and it erased my time before I had a chance to look at it!!! WAHHHH!! :( I’m suppose to run 4 miles with my running group tonight, but I’m SO VERY tempted to repeat this workout after my run just so I can get a time. It was a great workout! A killer on my arms, but I loved it still!

Nice short sweat!
First time I did this workout in April, I was at my parents’ place and didn’t have any sandbag or pull-up bar. My time was: 07:20.
Today I used my 15 kilo sandbag and my pull-up bar for the knee raises.
First part: new time: 05:35.

High Knees: 95-110
Pendulum: 63-71 (love these!)

  I’m mentally trying to figure out what it can look to do almost 3 pendulums per second.. even using my hands in front of me to simulate the pendulum movement, I find it totally insane ! :-o
  - MariaBjørgJepsen
    
    I think I swing the Pendulum quite well, because I am very flexible. Since I was a young “elasi-girl” I have been practising my splits, which is why I can still perform them on both sides.
    - Donna
      
      Wow you can do the splits!!!
      
      I would love to be able to do the splits:)

  Great work and effort on everything like always my dear Maria:)
  
  Not a fan of those pendulums as my left toes seem to hurt when I jump side to side and I always have to stop a few times in each round to adjust my foot to land somewhere else:(

when i first did this, I read the instructions wrong, and started with the totals and tried to complete that four times. I was like, “How in the world does anyone complete this in 13 minutes!?” Then I realized that that was the total, and we are supposed to start off with 10 reps then, 10, then 5 etc. I’m pretty exhausted now. now that i did 3 rounds of the totals. I did that in about 25-30 minutes, and am incredibly tired. So, to rev up my energy, I took a short water break and did the jump rope exercise. I can’t remember the name, but it goes: 30 min total – 4 min jump, 1 min abs and repeat 6x’s. I however did this 3x’s.

Anyway, have a great day! And read instructions carefully! I’m totally to blame for this.. And in a way, I felt like it was a bit counterproductive after a while?
Would anyone happen to know why?

I did it today at the gym with some modifications such as Blaster Push Ups 10 reps for each set.( Not Ball)
and Side Crunches instead of diagonal knee raises. It took me 18 minutes longer than last time since I increased the reps.
Part 2 High Knees 60-70 and Pendulum 39-40. I finished with 10 minutes treadmill running and 10 minutes incline walking. The Gym was like a sauna today. Everybody was soaking wet.

I do not know where to put this, but I am a great Sushi lover.. The only thing is that this contains a lot of rice so it’s one you must earn.. That not something I do all the time.. But still. Wanted to share a picture of this with you guys.. It’s really easy to make aswel..

Beat my first time and by the last round of the first part I was beat. Pendulum was really tough on me today – not sure why…

Really seeing improvement lately and it’s pretty amazing to know I’m getting the results years of hitting the gym could never get. Almost at my goal (weight and shape-wise) then it will be just to improve tone and definition. I love to BODYROCK!

I love this one but i can’t do it because i don’t have the dip station (some of us are kinda poor). :o( If i went to the gym, i could do ALL the exercises but the dip station one… but at home, i’d have to leave out the ball one and the dip station one :o(

Hi guys,

I never posted something here but today I have to share my workout with you:
I started with the Teenage Dream Workout and wondered about the high number of reps. I gave it my all and had to cut down the reps and still it took me 32 minutes and left me totally wiped out.

After stretching I had a second look at the workout and found out that I misunderstood the reps… Instead of doing 5 times of 10 reps I did 50 reps each round… ^_^

So my workout consisted of 50 Slide Unders (without the sandbag though), 30 Sit Ups, 20 Push ups and 15 Diagonal Knee Raises for each round…

After finding out I feel a bit stupid but at least my time seems not so bad now. ;)

Rock on everybody!! :D

Checking the list list of exercises I hate… hum, yes pendulum is right there !

P1: 10’14
P2: between 84 and 72 HK and exactly half for pendulums: between 42 and 36.
http://www.janetspreiter.com Janet

Did a pretty hard hill run for 45 minutes as warm up and went directly to this. Using a 25 lb sandbag; I could go 5 lb heavier I think…I said that last time and haven’t done it yet. Got through part one in 11:08 (good form!) and did just over 80 high knees and around 40 on the pendulums. The pendulums were really hard after the run. I think I suffered the most on that! Great workout; love the ab attention and the use of the ball. Surf’s up…now for the fun part! :))

Oops, PS: did burpees instead of Rolling PU & Knee Tucks !

  So did I! I don’t have a balance ball yet :D I think that was a good substitution though.
http://delightfultastebuds.com Jos

Part 1: Beat my old time (15:47) while doing all these with proper forms and equipments (last time I didn’t have a dip station). Finished in 13:36 using 15 lbs backpack -same as last time. Next time I might go a bit heavier for the duck under.

Part 2: Beat high knees but pendulum was quite a challenge today
High knees 84-65-56-60 (old 80-56-53-45)
Pendulum 32-21-22-24 (old 34-22-23-23)
- http://www.facebook.com/felinemenina Anna Carolina F
  
  Same thought at duck under->more weight< otherwise get ups less weight
  I´m glad I´ve read the comments before doing the workout because I would have done also 5×50 (25) reps each round.
  
  I had some problems with my musicstation and had to ran to it to switch the song and my new excercise matt has driven me crazy because of rolling invert :/-definetly lost minutes
  
  My score:
  part 1: 16.02 min
  part 2: High Knees: 88-80-83-83 Pendulum: 20-24-24-24

This was my second time doing this routine but I didn’t write my time down the first time! Oh well :D I finished part 1 in 15:43. I believe I did an average of 50-60 high knees during each interval and about 35 of the pendulum (that one was hard!). Oh and instead of rolling knee tuck push ups I did burpees. I’m not sure if that was a good substitution but I don’t have a balance ball yet.
http://twitter.com/MsGiginka Ms.Giginka

I did it in 15:48 but it because I did more rolling knee tuck :D instead of 5 i did 10 so after 30 I was like ”omg Zuzana are you kidding?” and then fortunately I had this page open so I notice that I did more than I should during whole workout noteven the right circuit :D so I suppose that I could do it around 13 minutes because that rolling knee tuck were horrible for my arms and it took me a lot of time:D But I can say this workout is so crazy but I love it :) no omg Zuzana but Thank you Zuzi :)

Off to a well deserved shower!

  Great time:) Yeah my left toes always hurt when I jump from side to side with those Pendulums:(

    Thanks!! I always think that the pendulums are going to be easy for some reason, I guess they just look fun. Then when I’m doing them, I’m like holy crap! much harder than anticipated! haha

Hey guys my score was a time improvement from the last time. Today I completed the workout with a 35lb sandbag in 13:54 (part1 9:54 + part2 4min interval) last time in April my total time was 14:17. Love progress!! ;-)

Hi Bodyrockers,

I decided to try to make this a straight up vote: Like this post if you want an official Bodyrock.TV Tee-shirt as Audra and Maria suggest below. I quote Audra, “… Bodyrock (on the front) Rock It Like It’s Hot! (On the back).”

I don’t know it really has to be front and back (that would cost a lot more). I like the idea of the Logo from above blazed arcoss the crest and just under it “Rock It Like It’s Hot!” or something equally good.

Zuzana and Freddy: A means to poll the community would be a really great feature I would think, btw.

–Chris
- AudraFit
  
  Agreed :)
- Isabelle G.
  
  Yes, yes! Definitely yes!

  Maybe body rock workout clothes? I would definitely wear a bodyrock shirt, I am not sure if I would wear it if it said rock it like its hot though :) Just plain without a quote sounds good to me

    True, make some with and some without would be a nice option.

So I finished this one up and looked back at my old score and found out I beat the old score by a full 7 minutes! Super happy with myself today.

10:13 for the first part..i don’t even know how people could have done it in 8 something!

Woah!! Way to go! Gotta love that rubber limbs feeling. hehe.

I don’t know how you could have done that all! wow, great job! take it easy today!!! those are some really tough moves to do, especially that sit up move that is just awful!

Wow, Angela!!! Great attitude, hahaha, I bet you felt amazing inside afterwards :D You rock, girl!

I was actually very confused until this point..bc I really thought that I was suppose to do 50 reps, for example, of sandbag situps and then do that whole part one 5 times. I thought, there is no way…I was too tired from yesturdays workout. So I just decided that I would go through the whole part one only once. Except I did not do the first exercise b’c I did squats yesturday. So I did just the 3 exercises and then did part 2.
PART ONE-8 min and 43 sec. PART TWO-High knees: 78/77/75/75…-Pendulum: 20/35/30/35. Altogether, I did 12 minutes and 43 second workout. Thankyou Zuzanna and Freddie for continuing to put these workouts on your site. thankyou for all that you do. Have a great day.

I looked through my log and I never did this workout so I have no old stats. Nonetheless, this workout was impressive:
Part 1: 10:15
Part 2:60/50/59/67
34/21/24/32

Ok so Part 1 I completed today in a time of 13m 20s. I actually did this wourkout only a couple of weeks ago 20/6/11 and beat my old score by 30s. Pushed hard, feel the rewards.
Cheers!!
Annalise

I did the first part in 13: 27. With 5 kg sandbag. Fantastic!

beat my old pb on this from may by about a minute. time went from 16:26 to 15:24 :) my time is kind of high because i have to run around to another room to do the diagonal knee raises, which i figured out takes about 2:30 minutes total… so time without that would be about 13 minutes.
Janessa Reimer

I have noticed that i am eating more now that i workout on a regular basis, is that normal? I feel hungry a lot, i feel like i eat all the time, but i try to make sure its all healthy eating.
- Kayla
  
  Yes. You are burning more calories, and your body seeks to maintain a weight equilibrium so you will feel hungry more often. If you are at a weight you like, eat healthy when you are hungry. If you’d like to lose weight, maybe eat a little less (~200cal) than you need to feel satisfied. But don’t starve your body! It does need fuel to get you through these intense workouts.
  - Janessa Reimer
    
    I am happy with my weight, but i do tend to eat bigger portion sizes. I find it hard to eat smaller meals throughout the day. i mostly eat healthy, but not always lol, but for the most part i do.lol
Kayla

I did it in 9:41 with 10lb weight. I don’t have a ball, so I ended up doing 5 leg lifts w/ heel raises and then 5 push-ups. I improved my score form 10:00 back in April, when I was using no weight. I probably would have done better, but I accidentally started out doing 50 slide-unders, got to about 30 sit-ups and thought, this can’t be right! So I was a bit tired already when I restarted my timer :P

Great workout.
Maude R Villeneuve

Angela and Denise, I did the same thing but stop after 2 times cause even if Zuzana rocks I couldn’t believe she did all that in 13 minutes. LOL So I stopped to looks at the commets to see some other time and I saw your post. Thank you soooo much’ i might have died with this workout.

and let me said that you must be so proud of yourself, 5 times wow.. just wow :)
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1746562272 Cynthia Hannah

I almost did it that way as well but caught the error(if you can call it that) on my previous print out, but now that you’ve mentioned it being done, you have me wanting to do it that way,lol. I am going to have to do it now, not today, but it is a definite in the near future workout ;-)
Hope your “wound” heals quick. I am still sporting bicep bruises from the sandbag workout that gave Zuzana the bruises,lol. Didn’t hurt just looks like it.

part 1: 15:36

Ok good, I’m so glad to find your post. I haven’t done the workout yet but looking at it I was thinking “5 Rounds in 13 minutes! That is definitely going to take me longer than 13 minutes…..”
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=706388249 Tori Larson Bradford

Part 1: 13:23 with a 20lb bag
Part 2: I averaged 75 High Knees and 35 Pendulums.

Glad I remembered to follow the directions this time. I didn’t want to do 250 reps of almost all the exercises like I did last time.

Oh and just wondering are there any Body Rockers from Utah out there?
Kendra

I did the first part in 12:20 with 30-ish lb “sandbag” (really just some freeweights in an old bag) and 2 12.5 dumbells for the situps. Ummm…how do you do the situps without lifting your legs up? Or maybe my equilibrium was off because I didn’t have a sandbag, so I was holding weight directly above me, as opposed to just on the side of the back of my hands, like wiht a sandbag.

Anyway, good workout. I was really happy that the second part was over faster than I thought–I was thinking I’d have to do 8 rounds of each exercise, not 8 rounds total (4 times of each exercise) so I was really relieved when, after thinking I couldn’t take another 5 rounds, I saw I was almost done!
Ashley

I just got my dip bar and was so excited to start my first workout! I’m definitely a beginner so I really appreciate the beginner tips. I tried doing a push up when I had the ball rolled up to my chest, a different way of doing a “knee push up” so to say. This workout really had me sweating! I look forward to doing more and feeling myself get stronger! Thanks for posting!

For some reason motivation to workout this week has been tough (very unusual for me). Nonetheless, I haven’t given in to the temptation, and the reward…beat my personal best on this one (and with a much heavier sandbag).

I did this 4/27 in 14:52, & today took me 15:39. I was feeling crappy about my time until I looked in my workout log & saw that I didn’t have a dip station in April, & I used heavier weights today. I used 20# total for the slide-under (the 15# set was taken). I tried using a 25# dumbbell, but couldn’t keep my feet on the ground…so I used a 20 # dumbbell & was able to keep my feet on the ground for all sit ups. High Knees: 72-66-66-66 Pendulum 45-38-36-38. I don’t know how I remembered all those reps, but I did!

This was really challenging in the heat. Even at the beach it was hot today!

Followed with 10 core splits,10 min interval skipping, & cool down/stretching.

Thanks!

If you aren’t doing a warm up & cool down with stretching, try adding both. Zuzana has some posted in the tabs at the top of the site page. I’ve noticed a big difference in my post-workout soreness as well as increased flexibility. I do a combination of two warm ups from this site.

Here’s a warm up video in real time: http://www.bodyrock.tv/2010/01/29/start-me-up-warm-up-routine/

hi angela, i did the same thing!!! in total (part 1 + part 2) it took me 30:03 minutes to complete. i keept asking myself:”how could Zuzana do it in 13 minutes and other BR in less than 10 minutes??” it was hard but we did a great job, i was dieing at the end but i kept going :P

Ok so my time for this workout was 16:46. This was actually 2 min 11 sec LONGER than the last time I did this HOWEVER!! I did NOT have my balance ball, dip station OR sandbag!! So considering that this was the first time I was able to do all the exercises as directed, I’m not ashamed of my time at all :) Also, I really REALLY had to push myself. This heat and humidity really gets me down.

My scores for the interval training was:
Old score: HighKnees: 64 – 61 – 57 – 57
*** NEW SCORE: 69 – 60 – 66 – 64

Old Score: Pendulum: 48 – 38 – 40 – 31
***NEW SCORE: 53 – 52 – 42 – 48

MY NEW PERSONAL BEST!!!!!!!!

For the high knees… is 1 rep every time your foot strikes the ground?

I’m a day behind in posting this because I did this workout yesterday, but I was very proud of my score because I beat my personal best!

Time to beat: 14:44
Time: 13:37!

I didn’t count the High knees/Pendulum rounds, but I did notice that my performance improved because I had a hell of a time with the Pendulum on the last go around. It was still difficult, but I wasn’t having nearly as much trouble as previously.

I always love repeat workouts because I relish the opportunity to beat myself.
Laurie Skora

Holy moly! This was killer.. especially when it’s 27 degrees Celsius inside my house! lol My time for the first part was 12:39 :) I don’t have an exercise ball so I just did a burpee instead which is the same idea just without the ball :P the second part I did 289 high knees and 184 pendulums (I used a low coffee table for my hands instead of the floor part way through as I was ready to give up totally)… these were torture in this heat! lol I was trying to stand in front of my fan for as much of this workout as possible! haha. Thanks for another great workout!!

This work out is my new obsession! Why because it took me 47 minutes!!!!! UGH!

I could not do ball rolls so I did plank jumps with push ups. I was stubborn and refused to get on my knees….until circuit 2 and a half!!!!
Then by circuit 3 I realized that I was supposed to do 25 of those NOT 50 per circuit!!!!!!!!
So, by circuit 3 I had already done 125 and did not have to them for the other 2 circuits…I moved faster after that of course! hahahahahahaha!!!!

When I started I said “Im gonna give myself 30 minutes”…..after I was on my knees, I almost cried….”do I give up cause I didnt meet my goal?????? HELLL NO! Take the time out of mind and finish all the circuits”….and Im glad I did!!!
I dont think I have ever wanted to cry from how hard a workout I had before!!!!

Anyway, part 2:

HK: ,60,54,54,44
pendulum40,42,40,40

I will try this again, dammit, by the end of the week!!! Once again, Thanx Zuz and Freddy for the amazing work out!!!!!

  Did you did 50 reps each circuit? You were supposed to do 10 reps each circuit except the ball roll which is 5. That makes a total of 50 or 25 for each exercise. I made the mistake the first time I did this of doing 50 reps each circuit. It took me forever to finish.

oh, i love those pendulums!!
so, the last workout i did was survivor, then i was unconscious for 48 hours :P, and finally i am human again, i did this workout:
this was my first time: 12:13 (raised knee tucks and push-ups from a ladder, no ball) and in the second part, pendulums: 30, 28, 28, 27, 22. high knees, i couldn’t keep up with count, except that the last and slowest one was 66.

i loved it! thank you!!

Me time is 11 minutes 30 seconds – last time it was 10 minutes 20 seconds but today I used 10 kg instead of 5. High knees number is increased from 72 to 78 & pendulum’s one from 54 to 56. Plus I did 30 minutes of Bodyflex.
Rusty81_99

Wow that’s funny! I got done one round of the first part and I was wondering how in the world everyone was finishing so fast when it took me 12 minutes to do just one! I only did 2 rounds of the first section (and I have never quit early before, and I’m not much of a sweater, but I was dripping at this point!) and went on to do the second section of interval training. After my workout, I double checked and I did a big whoops!! I misread and thought that I had to do 5 rounds of 50, 50, 25, and 50, so OF COURSE I was dripping and my shoulders were weak and my hands sore! I did twice as much as I was supposed to! 2 rounds took me 25:10 of the first part and then I totally maxed out on the interval training. Love it! Thanks again for all the great workouts, guys! :)

I remember this workout and absolutely luv it!! Since I only started at the end of March, this is the first time I’ve ever repeated a workout and have been able to check back to my scores (with the exception of the 4 minute & 6 minute workouts). Good news!! I’ve improved! Last time, I forgot to start my stop watch so I was averaging my time according to the length of the songs I had listened to during the workout (not the most precise way to do it but it worked at the time to give me something to improve on). Today is the first day I’ve worked out in 3 days due to D.O.M.S and insanely sore quadraceps from “Transform Your Booty” I did on Wednesday. I had increased my sandbag by about 10 lbs and boy did I feel it the past couple days!! I could barely squat to go pee! LOL. I can honestly say I don’t know if I’ve been THAT sore in my entire life. My scores for today:

PART 1= 5 rounds at 13:41 (Sooooo frustrated with myself as I wasted so much time balancing and falling off my exercise ball in the “rolling knee tuck & push up”….such a dork! lol) I also took longer with the sandbag sit ups as my sandbag is about 30 lbs right now. Luv’d Slide under with Sandbag and Diagonal Knee Raises!

PART 2= Approx. sets of High Knees and Pendulum…..65/40.

I’m following this workout with “Cardio Legs and Core”…..can’t wait for a “kickass” workout.
Thanks Zuzana and Freddy! xoxo :)
Natalie Anna

I STILL haven’t filled my sandbag up yet even though I got it for christmas… lol so I’m still using my 15lb weight and I dont have one of those big balls so I just did 2 knee tucks and a push up, so I finished the 1st part in 11 minutes and 30 seconds. My average high knees for the second part was 80 and my average number of pendulums was 40. : )
http://www.facebook.com/people/Aleksandra-Bilcane/100001343398864 Aleksandra Bilcane

okay, it took me 14minutes and 5seconds, but i kind of messed up with the 3rd exercise because i did 10 reps the first three rounds. well, it’s okay. i don’t mind because i’m practicing to do proper push ups.

I finally got to do this one. i’ve been putting it off since last week and concentrating on my GRE exam which was yesterday.

Anyways, I’m happy I went back to this one. I managed to shave off 2 minutes of the first part and I was able to write down my reps for the second part (which I hadn’t done the first time around because i thought i would die in those 5 seconds of rest). So yay!! i’ve improved quite a bit in 2 months :), i finished the first part in 9:43

Another Awesome Workout!! I did this one yesterday…I definitely beat my old stats because THIS time I did all the exercises without ANY beginner modifications!! And I used my sandbag this time!! 15lbs worth! Woohoo!! Things are definitely changing!! The Rolling Knee Tuck and Push Ups was KILLER!!!!!! But proud that I was able to keep balance and do them! My time isn’t as good as some of you but I am fine with that because I really focused on form and getting it right and not so much on speed…Ok here are my stats:I did the first part of the workout in 19:33 minutes and I did 291 High Knees and 103 Pendulums in the second part(which were really HARD for me) Go ME!!

I don’t have equipment either… for the sandbag I just fill my sister’s old school bag with books until it’s heavy enough. Just improvise and go with it haha.

I believe Zuzana uses the power one

I think Zuzana uses 30lbs generally, but adjust according to your level.

Hey there, I am still waiting on that skit from you guys!

This is my first time doing this workout (have been only recording times for the past 3 weeks). I took some weight out of my sandbag to make it 15lbs instead of 30lbs. I am not up for that today as I skipped a couple meals due to the heat and feel really tired. I feel weak.

Anyways my time was 12:53, and I did 228 high knees and only 70 pendulums (I find it hard to do pendulums with proper form so had to focus)

I just did this workout again today after doing the “booty meets abs” workout and I beat my time by about 4 minutes! and I was able to do more knee raises and pendulums per interval than I could the first time I did this workout. Here are my numbers (the ones in parenthesis are the old scores)

PART 1 time: 12:01 (15:57)
PART 2 avg amount of knees/pendulums per 25 sec: 50/40 (40/35)

I did this today! Great ab workout.

I’m a little bummed because I did NOT beat my time from the last time I did it. :( I got 12:20 last time and 12:33 this time! Blurg! But I think it’s because I used a 32 lb weight for the sit ups instead of two 12lb dumbbells, so I was lifting about 7lbs more weight on those. I also stuck my feet under the couch so they didn’t lift up.

The second part I didn’t keep score, but I did between about 60-77 high knees and 39-47 pendulums each round.

burpee for Erin! Happy Saturday everyone!

This is what I get for not reading thoroughly, my first set of slide unders was 50 reps, I couldn’t understand how zuzana did all these reps 5x in around 13min so I decided to check the post again, *face palm*
Jenn

I finished Part 1 in 12:25.

Scores for Part 2:
High Knees: 91, 74, 78, 75
Pendulums: 37, 34, 40, 36

My shoulders are exhausted from this workout! It is much harder to keep myself held up on the dip station than I realised!

yay! i only beat my time by one second, but i kicked butt on the pendulums! i didn’t have a good rolling ball, so i used a medicine ball for walking push-ups: one foot on the ball, one leg raised in the air, switching feet.

first time: 12:13 (raised knee tucks and push-ups, no ball) and pendulums: 22, 27, 28, 28, 30. high knees, i couldn’t keep up with count, except that the last and slowest one was 66.

THIS time: 12:12 (walking one-leg, one balancing leg pushups); pendulums: 37, 37, 31, 33 high knees: 78, 73, 66, 67

plus my five burpees for erin, zuzka and co!
thanks!!
