Did someone seriously comment saying that your workouts weren’t hard enough…

Well here’s karma to them :)

PS, I’ll add in burpees when I wake up each morning just for Erin. Let the morning energies kick up, and let Erin be the true fighter she is.

Yeah!!! even when I watch the workout and feel it may be easy, it turns out its always a CHALLENGE

Not hard enough?! Maybe they should add more weight &/or move faster…. This looks like an amazing workout – I can’t wait for tomorrow! I love the burpees for Erin – I just did my first. :)

Tania Figueroa

I’m going to do this workout for Erin!!! :)

I just bought my sandbag and going to rock this workout tomorrow!!! :D Now I need an UGI… Anyways I’m going to try to do the last exercise with the sandbag on the floor. Let’s see if it works.

If it doesn’t work I promise I will post my photo without teeth. :D

Hi Guys,

So did I miss a memo? When did you decide to do a “Burpees Everywhere Tour”? And where is everywhere?

I think Erin is a special person and she will pass thru this test and as you say we need to give her all our positive energies. I will do a few burpees everyday dedicated to her and her journey.

HI Chris,

Obviously you were not paying enough attention lately :) lol

P.S. Thanks for being supportive. As always.

  Hi Zuzana,
  
  I guess I’ve not been paying as much attention to what you say and write as I have other Bodyrockers lately, sorry! :-)
  
  I always try to be supportive of you two and other bodyrockers as I can. I know I can also be a Doubting Thomas, but you have always shown my doubts to have no merit.
  
  Enjoy your tour,
  –Chris

I love how freddie says tell them what you’re wearing! I always think its funny because he is the one who responds to those questions! ha ha

http://www.eroticstore.ro rox

did it today in 37’33″
my sandbag is 10.5kg
my ugi ball (improvised): first round did it with 5kg and the rest of the rounds I did just with 4kg (seemed to much)
I was sweating a lot :) I had 30minutes when I finished the 4th round and I am happy that I went on and finished all 300reps.
Nice workout, thank you Z&F

Vala

Oh no, time is too short to do this workout today :( Have to do it next week.

BUT – Just did my first Erin-Burpee right away :)

Catherine McGuckin

That was a killer, I blinded myself with sweat haha!

I used a 6kg kettlebell for the Lunge Twist and Sumo Squat, 2 x 1.5kg dumbbells for the Jump Squat & Swing and I did the modification that Zuzana showed in the video for the Ugi Push Off.

My time was a decent 31:18 – I think it’s a miracle for me!!

Ellen

I completed four rounds in 33 minutes.

It was ridiculously tough and I didn’t complete the fifth round because I was actually going to be sick. Good to fight Brutus but also good to know when to stop! Next time I hope to complete all five rounds.

Annebel Wind

Wow this one really asked for a lot of discipline.. I had to push myself hard, but did finish it.. My time as always is much slower than others, but I don’t mind anymore. The point is I finished it, and I can try to beat my own score next time..
My time was 51.38 minutes. I feel good, nice and sweaty :D

Tammy77

FANTASTIC!! :)

V.I.G.

I have been on vacation, and have taken a little time of training, but know I am back:) And I will do one burpee for Erin, and send her love and positive energy, after each workout….

…and, your workouts are the best…and giving best results Zuzana..

Love

Talking about a brutal workout….sweat was (and still is) pouring down my face and in my eyes….but I liked it….we human beings are the weirdest species..

This morning cycled to the gym, one hour of brutal spinning class, cycled back home.

3 hours later did this one: 39: 37 minutes

Adjustments:
- I didnt use a bag with the jump lunges.. I am really bad at lunges and am only able to do the jump lunges for 2 months
- The first two rounds I used my sportsbag filled with cushions for the ‘ugi push off’, did the adjusted version as of Round 3
- I used a bag with 3 x 1,5 L waterbottles for the Lunge & Twist exercise..

so now I am sooooooooo done and ready for today! :D

Just finished…sweating extremely hard. I made it all the way though in 30 mins 9 secs. After the 2nd set I was cursing, after the 4th started laughing and after the 5th feeling great :-))) burpee for Erin before this workout :-) keep fighting!

Svenja R.

I also start laughing sometimes when it’s just soo hard.. or I cry. depends really.. :D

Svenja R.

not hard enough -.- i would call that lack of effort..
actually I also experienced an “oh that wasn’t that hard today” feeling one day, but that was because I didn’t push to my absolute max intensity.

but today that won’t happen, I’m sure!
I kinda feel like I have to push through all the 5 rounds, just so I “earn” my Burpee for Erin. Cause I feel like Erin just needs Burpees from somebody that at least has the strength to push through a workout

does that makes sense? :D
anyway.. I will do that now. And I’ll post my time late -in case I survive :D

Svenja R.

ouh girl, that’s a great time!! :)

steffi

If your going on “tour” to do burpees everywhere come to montana!! do some in GLacier national park, or before cliff jumping, come to the flathead valley:)

Janessa Reimer

i do want to do this! but my knee andnow my arm hurts like crazy! I haven’t been working out and i just feel gross. i will for sure do a burpee for erin everyday! shes will be in my thoughts and prayers! Have a great day everyone!

helena p

What do you mean “nota hard enough”? I´ve been doing all the latest workouts and when you don´t post a new one I go back to the older ones and I´ve been SORE. I try to use as much weight as I can tolerate without loosing form, I think is important to PUSH PUSH really hard: faster and stronger. If I ever feel I have some little energy left (ha) I do one more round of the WO or an extra 4 to 8 minutes with my jump rope. But seriously the”simpler” they look the toughest they end up being. This one looks scary, I´ll be doing it tomorrow since today I already did my WO: Give me a reason and it was BRUTAL!!! YES!

helena p

Oh by the way yes I will be doing a burpee for Erin form now on. Great idea!!

Samantha R

My time was 23:40 and I did this workout for Erin and her family. I hope she could feel my fighting spirit as I cursed my way through this! I’m sure with her positive attitude and spirit she will get through this tough time and all my best wishes go out to her.

I used a 33-34lb sandbag, a 4kg dumbbell for the swing and a half deflated pilates ball for the push off (beware of the dangers of falling off anyone reading this who is also subbing with the same thing). Sx

http://aphrodiitee.deviantart.com/ Isidora

i have another idea for the ones who dont have any weight.
Just do all the workout in 1 round or 2 rounds.

:)

burpee every day for erin! there’s a great book called “extraordinary knowing,” it will convince you, our burpees are a powerful medicine!!!!
this workout looks great, i’m on my way :D

http://www.facebook.com/dana.vanbeneden Dana Grace Van Beneden

This workout was so fierce. 35.47 was my time. I used a 30 lb sandbag and 12 lb dumb bell for lunges.

Anonymous

Oh my goodness. Just looking at this workout makes me scared. I will try my best. I don’t have an ugi ball so I will use my 10 pound medicine ball instead. I will push until I complete the entire workout, time is not so important to me as actually finishing. And I will be doing a burpee for Erin before every workout. May God continue to bless her and her family.

Anonymous

My grandmother passed away from breast cancer a few years ago. I’ll make sure to stick in an extra burpee for her as well….. :)

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=923751 Rori Alter

O man. I pushed SO HARD in this workout. I did modify the burpees just to a regular one (push up and jump up) because Dive bombers really hurt my shoulder and I did the pushups on the floor because I don’t have an UGI. ANYWAY I still wanted to die and there was a POOL OF SWEAT (as usual) surrounding me.

25:01:30

For the Lunge Twists and the sumo squats I used 2 20lb kettlebells and for the Jump Lunges I used a 10lb dumbbell.

I look forward to these workouts every day! I do not agree that they are too easy! PUSH HARDER!

Did everyone do an extra burpee for Erin?! Make sure you get that in, not only for Erin but for anyone and everyone battling cancer, loss,and inner demons. Help your loved ones find the strength to over come the “impossible” or “unknown.”

Svenja R.

whop.. did it in 40 minutes and 21 seconds. guess I’m okay with that time.
plus an Erin-Burpee :)

Another Brutal workout!!!!!! OMG….so sweaty and huffy puffy….but in a good way!!! lol Anyways, just finished and my time was a surprising 22m 52s…..woohoo!!!!….as I sit here typing this I’m literally constantly dripping….need a shower!!!!! Feel awesome though!!!!
(I used my homemade UGI…which is 8lbs.)

http://zoe-in-wonderland.blogspot.com Zoe Quixote

well, i’m not proud of my time…44:56 :(
but i have to say also, when i started 4 months ago, i thought i’d never be able to do a dive-bomber properly, and i did all 50 with no modifications and burpees to boot! so i’m happy with that, at least. and i know that was my time sink-hole, so i’ll just keep working on them :)))

2 burpees for erin: one before the work-out, when i still thought i could conquer the world :))) and one never-give-up burpee after–phew!

http://www.facebook.com/Latifah.Nadiyah Nadiyah Abdul

be proud! you finished it, Like Zuz says form is more important than time!!!

Nothing to be ashamed of Zoe – you should feel damn proud for having the will, dedication and fortitude to finish. Time – shmime! ;) Time gets better on its own. Let yourself feel good about your efforts girl! I’M proud of you! :)

Olga María Pineda

Hi Zuzana and Freddy, there is no way that we can get the UGI BALL, down here in El Salvador, Central America, what we can use? to do the workouts with a replacement instrument or how we can do a made in home ugi ball? the bodyrockers community here in El Salvador are missing the new workouts because we don’t have the ball, thanks, hugs from El Salvador

http://www.facebook.com/Sofia.B.LopezBilbao Sofia

I thought of getting two pieces of equipment. First a medicine ball for the weight and then there’s these sort of “half exercise balls” that people use to challenge their balance and core muscles. I’ve seen them at the gym and they seem to do the same thing. I believe it’s called a bosu ball if you search it on google :)
tee

some people are using medicine balls, some people use a weight and stuff it inside a sleeping bag or blankets or pillows and wrap it up and are using that. depending on how zuzana is using it you could just use a dumbbell or a balance ball, basketball, soccer ball etc. just get creative with what you have!

Tamra Rae

What happened to your pink 8 lb UGI ball? I noticed you were using Freddy’s steel 10 lb ball. Are you increasing your weight or did you use that just for this workout to make it harder?

Brianna Reece

this looks so hard. i dont no if there is a way to email you or anything so i am just going to ask my question here. so i just found this website and its awesome but i am a kinda big girl so it is really hard to do most of these exercises. do you no a way to simplify these exercises until i can build the strength to do them all?

Anonymous

Brianna, The key is you have to push yourself to try. TRY. That’s it. In the beginning, I couldn’t do more than one push up. So, I did them from my knees and just kept pushing myself to TRY. Modify the exercises so that you can do them and push yourself to finish. You won’t see results unless you push yourself! I remember doing her 550 rep workout as my first BodyRock attempt and almost puked but MAN, that sense of accomplishment I felt after finishing was DELICIOUS and addicting! I modified almost all the moves but that was then! Now I can do 30 regular push ups and can’t believe my strength! Just TRY, Girlie, you’ll be amazed at what your body CAN do! Good luck, glad you commented!! :) :)
http://www.facebook.com/Sofia.B.LopezBilbao Sofia

First of all, welcome to bodyrocking! I would say start doing her beginner modifications and do as many as you can, she always shows these at the end of the videos. She always says “as long as it feels challenging for you, it’s working” so even if you can do for example burpees by doing push up from your knees and then bringing your feet up slowly, taking a few seconds and then jumping, if you’re sweating you’re doing it right :). Also, don’t use any extra weight for the exercises unless it’s too easy without it. Maybe you won’t be able to finish some of the hardest workouts at first but give it your best try and eventually you’ll get there. I thought I would die on my first workout haha and it’s incredible how far i’ve come along in just 4 months. I also started with a lot of the modifications and eventually started challenging myself to do the real ones :), of course i can’t do them as fast but they definitely feel hard so I know they’ll get easier eventually. Hope this helps!

Brianna Reece

also i will definitely do a burpee for Erin EVERYDAY!!!!!!!

I will do a burpee too!! :). And I can’t wait to do this one and put my boyfriend through it too, muahaha.

And thanks Zuzana for posting some modifications for us who don’t have the equipment. I just got a job (yay!) so I’ll be buying more of it now, but in the meantime I need to improvise. I ordered my dip station yesterday and the sandbag is next because my schoolbag with old books is starting to rip.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Michelle-Torrance/1600182174 Michelle Torrance

My goodness! Thank you Z… for pushing me beyond boundaries that I haven’t pushed before… I was just posting on our other bodyrockers page on FB… I cried, I screamed, I cursed and I pushed through this workout.. Brutus kept rearing his ugly head… and I kept pushing through… all I kept thinking about was that if BodyRocker Erin is fighting with all her might to finish her treatment and beat this, then I sure as hell will NOT GIVE UP and continue cursing, screaming, and crying through each of the final reps to finish. I did… I finished it and I have so much more love in my heart for it. My time was 47 min… Thank you Zuz… :)

Anonymous

I think the workouts have been just as hard as always…I think its as hard as you push yourself you know? but maybe everyone else is just way stronger than me haha. This workout was awesome. I didnt try so much for speed and time as I did just do everything right and take my time. Usually the first time I go through one I kind of speed through to just get a good time but I dont think that actually helps me get stronger in the long run. My time today was 31:41! It felt great and I used a 35 pound EZ bar and a 8 pound medicine ball. once I get the money I will for sure buy the ugi ball! they are pricey! Also I did 5 extra burpees just for Erin! Each filled with positive energy! :) there is a lot of support on this site!

Samanthina

Phew,that was hard, my time was 27:03min. and after that i did 1 burpee for Erin.Thanks a lot to both of you guys.

http://reclaimedhealth.wordpress.com Eimear Rose

Wow, this was tough. I finished in 31:03 but nearly gave up after 3 rounds, so glad I finished. F**k Brutus!

Alejandra

What do people mean when they talk about brutus? Is it referring to laziness?

Lila Alejandra ♥

OMG!! This was a good one!! I nearly fainted at the end and Brutus was bugging me all the time, he wanted me to quit!! But I finished and I was surprised about my time:

25:50!!

But I have to add since I have no ugi ball I only used my body wait and I still can’t squat all the way down (sandbag weighs 10kg) so maybe that’s why I finised a little bit faster. Boy did I sweat, I pushed so hard, my face is sooooo red lol!

A burpee for you Erin wishing you with all my heart you get well soon, have the courage and faith to fight so you keep bodyrocking with us!!

And as always Zuzanita and Freddy, you guys are the BEST…can’t thank you enough for being my inspiration every single day. Love you!!

Lila Alejandra ♥

I also agree..push harder and it wil be tough enough!!

No workout for me today, busy day. Can’t wait to do it tomorrow.

Hi Courtney,

A person on the facebook page asked for advance workouts beyond what Zuzana normally does. Everyone has a comfort zone and we doesn’t try things that really push pass that. One good reason to push really hard at this workout.

This leads to a question. What exercise does Zuzana avoid? I have answer, but I won’t say here.

–Chris

Courtney

Ah, well that explains why I missed it; I deleted my facebook account about a month ago. It was convenient to follow BodyRock on facebook when my account was active because I liked the advanced updates, but the creepy dudes who wrote nasty public comments to Zuzana grossed me out. I’m very glad those things are filtered out of the comments here.

I’ve only been BodyRocking for about five months, so at this point every workout pushes me past my comfort zone.

Hi chelsea alysse,

I would like to know when the Tour was mentioned before more than where they are going. I don’t see myself meeting up with them. I’m actually passing thru ALX on Wednesday to vacation at another conference for five days in Dallas. I just don’t have time to do such things lately nor do I think they would like to visit with me.

If the tour is in the USA and they are in Washington State there are lots of folks in Seattle and I think it would be cool if they did meet up with them! I could see burpees at Pike Place Market or up at Kerry Park or under the Space Needle or at the MS Campus in Redmond or on a Ferry or at Mount Rainier or…

I used a 25 lb sandbag, an small “Ugi” stool, and a couple of 5lb ankle weights to make up my 10 lb ugi swing. I warmed up with a good 5 mile hill run then finished this in 21:22. Very good challenge. I think arm strength is my specialty. I almost missed the 100 sumo squats! At first I read it as 10 each time, then I caught my error! I am liquifying. Ocean time! I did a suuuuuper slow motion burpee (except the jump part, of course :) ) for Erin, too.

YESSSSS personal victory! I just did it and I’m soaking wet wow. Dive Bomber Burpee was killing me! I was laughing too while I was doing my last round I was gonna quit but I put on my headphones and played the song “I remember” by Deadmou5 and rocked the last round. Music really helps me out. :) Great workout! Thank you!
P.S. I collected some good amount of energy for the last extra burpee for ERIN. xoxoxo

KIMBERLAKE93

WOW…..I haven’t been this challenged in awhile….not sure I like it….LOL….but I feel great, now that it’s over. I luv how Zuzana said she wanted to quit after 4 rounds……I wanted to quit on my 1st. No joke. This one was tough for me. BRUTAS was yelling in my ear, I haven’t had much to eat except for light fruit this morning and nursing a broken heart today…. :( …working out was the LAST thing I felt like doing today but I’m SOOOOO happy I did. It got to the point where I didn’t care about my time, I was just determined to survive it and get through all 5 rounds. I put the timer away and felt like the seconds were ticking extra fast as I took a break for a sip of water or just for a breath! When I was done the 5 rounds, I was SOOOO proud of myself…..I looked at the timer to see I finished in 31:35!! Only a minute and 35 seconds longer than my “workout hero” Zuz!!! So glad I completed this. Shout out to all BodyRockers who are hurting right now…..you’re not alone…..and lets get through these hard times by working out hard and luving our bodies!!
I did my Burpee for Erin……..Wishing you so much strength and health girl!
Have a fantastic day BODYROCKERS!!

I was totally drenched after this workout, and I’m not sure if I did 4 or 5 rounds because I guess all the blood for my brain to function was in my muscles, I couldn’t remember what round I was on, and I felt like I was marking rounds I hadn’t done yet..oh well kicked my butt either way! This workout made a quote come to mind from an old coworker, “You have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable!”

This workout was so hard and I wanted to give up so badly. But, I really wanted to do my burpee for Erin and knew if people like her found the strength to fight against cancer in their own bodies I could fight against mere exhaustion. After 29:26 of pure torture, I did my first three Erin burpees :)

http://www.dheana.com Dheana

Ok, three things:
1. Those tights are amazing – especially on you;
2. I’m IN on the Burpees for Erin ~ great idea; and
3. Whoever said your workouts haven’t been hard enough is either sniffing glue, or clearly not pushing THEMSELVES hard enough – I’m guessing the latter…

Oh, and one more thing – this looks BRUTAL and I can’t wait to try it!

Tammy77

I TOTALLY agree with you on all three points Dheana, you make me giggle everytime I read your comments….

I’ve got only one thing to say: hard. It was amazingly hard. I pushed, though, and I finished in 29:37. Yé! (I used a 20 lbs sandbag, and a 10 lbs sandbag for the jump lunges.) I’m exhausted, thank god I can relax as it is saturday and I don’t work!!! I may even let myself drift off to sleep….

Oh yes, I forgot: I did a burpee for Erin, and for my good friend Manon who’s got breast cancer. For all of you Bodyrockers who need strength and energy!! We’re all together!

Hey Zuzana & Freddy & fellow Bodyrockers!

I just found out yesterday that two of my best friends (non-Bodyrockers, but both 19 years old and in fair shape) got hernias. I find this terrifying to be honest. For this reason, I am now so thankful to Zuz and Fred for showing us these awesome core-strengthening exercises.
I’ve been Bodyrockin’ for the passed couple years (full-time for the past 3 months), and the idea of my buddies getting hernias is a serious wake up call for me. I have a totally new appreciation and sensitivity for exercising with my focus first and foremost, especially with this particular workout on the importance of proper form.
I really enjoy competing with everyone’s scores and pushing myself to the max, but I think for the next little while I’m going to aim for quality instead of quantity.
This workout was perfect for that area of focus! My time was 27:11. I only just started using my sandbag recently with only 20 lbs, so I think it’s time to add a bit more weight.
Peace and Love Everyone!

This was such a hard workout, even without the UGI & Sandbag. I used dumbbells in their places.

Time: 24:42

For the lunge twist + sandbag I used 30#(total) DB for rounds 1,2,5; 20# for 2, 4
For the jump lunge swing I used a 5# DB. I think I should have used a heavier one….
For the sumo squat + sandbag I used 30# total DB for round 1, then 20# total for the other 4 rounds

I really focused on form, & briefly thought dive bomber burpees were going to kill me in round 4.

Some man at the gym intercepted me during a water break (round 3, timer was running) & asked if I’m in the best shape of my life. I said no, but then on second thought decided that I am. I’ve been leaner/skinnier, but I’m the strongest I’ve ever been :) Thanks Zuzana & Freddy!

Holy crap! that was AWESOME! this was my last workout of the week, so i really tried to kill it. i managed to finish in 19:21! i’m pretty happy about that!

i used a 30# sandbag for the lunge twist, a 10# dumbell for the jump lunge & swing and a bosu ball for the ugi push-off.

after i peeled myself off the floor i did 3sets each of chest press, back row, bicep curls, tricep extensions and atomic pushups with my trx. now i am ready for a day off!

all my best to you!

I only did 2 rounds. My shoulders are sore from yesturdays workout-I did the workout from the 27th. So, and it was really hard…good for all of those who did the 5 rounds. I was tired after the first round…but it was a good challenge, to even push myself to do 2 rounds. I’m glad I did it, and I cheated today and had a chocolate dhip cookie. Yesturday I was so good and did not eat any sugar and the only carbs I ate was rice and that was after my workout. I really want to stay on this exercise trail that I am on, bc when I wrokout I desire to eat well. Anyways my score for the 2 rounds was 9 minutes, with some modifications. In my bag i had only a 7 pound weight…and then in the 2nd round, at one oint I did not us the bg for the jump lunge and swing bc I was so pooped. Anyway, I also did a burpee for Erin, and i will also pray for God’s healing touch on her body. Thankyou for the workut. Have a grreat day…

I did my burppee for Erin to start and another at the end ;-). This was a toughy today.Using my 10lb UGI ball and a 30lb Sandbag my time was 19:34. My heart was pounding and sweat was dripping and I am ecstatic ! Loving all the new exercises ;-)

Cindy

I did this brutal workout today at the gym. It took me 33 minutes. My sandbag had about 9 pounds and for ugi push off and jump llunge twist , I used my basketball., I could not use the medicine ball because the grab the ball workout killed me. I finished with 3 strong and powerful burpee for Erin. I wanted to send all the best for you.

Courtney

This. Was. Brutal.

I did one burpee for Erin before the workout and I nearly forgot to do my burpee at the end because I was so tired. But I did it. I just may have to tie my arms to my body tonight before bed because this workout abused them and I’m afraid they’ll try to run away overnight.

I didn’t complain about the workouts not being hard enough, but I certainly have learned the lesson; I will never complain about the difficulty of the workouts.

http://www.dheana.com Dheana

There was no quit in my today, let me tell ya! I was actually contemplating skipping my workout today because I have a rotator cuff that’s giving me a little grief, but after reading Erin’s story, I was struck with the realization of what a privilege it is to have our health – and what better way to honor it than by sweating bullets and pushing our bodies every day. Besides, how could I pass up the opportunity to be part of all of us, pushing through the same workout, facing our limits and thinking of Erin the whole time? I couldn’t.

Despite being super careful on the dive bombers and the fact that I forgot the Jump Lunge Swings in the 3rd and 4th sets and had to make up for them at the end of the 5th…which was truly brutal, I finished in 27:18 and couldn’t be happier!

Oh, my sandbag was 30 lb, I used a Bosu for the push off (crazy hard!) and a little 6 lb med ball for the Jump Lunge Swings.

And of course, I started and finished with an Erin Burpee (my hubby did one too!)

http://www.janetspreiter.com Janet

Rotator cuffs and dive bombers are not a happy mix! Been there, done that: UGH! You take it easy on that injury! Sorry to hear of this :(
- http://www.dheana.com Dheana
  
  Thanks Janet. It’s actually feeling 100% better. I was super careful – but also found this amazing product, a homeopathic ointment called Traumeel. Works wonders! But you’re right – we gotta be nice to our little RTs! :)
  - http://www.janetspreiter.com Janet
    
    Yes, Traumeel has saved me more than a few times! Great stuff!

Jos

Looks like a killer!! I agree with everyone mentioned that whoever giving Zuzana hard time saying her workouts recently aren’t hard enough should inspect themselves first whether they gave all of their max efforts of doing the workouts or NOT! I have been bodyrocking for almost a year and I still end up in a puddle of sweat and still not using the same weight as Zuzana did. Clearly all Zuzana’s workouts are always a killer!

Alana6

I agree with you Jos. Whether they are 12m or longer if you give your all to every workout they make you sweat. My body transformation thus far is testament to that!

Carmen

Hi everyone……..I’ve survived this one!!!
My time was 29:00 and I used some modifications…..per example my sons car seat was very useful to perform the ugi push offs, just turned it face down and was perfect. Also used 2 10lbs dumbells for the twists and everything hurts. About the dive bomber burpees……still fighting proper form so I decided to get on my knees until I master it.
Almost forgot to mention……I did my burpees for Erin and I felt such a great energy, the very same energy that she has to fight back. I’ll do 10 everyday to honor her =)

Annalise

Ok yeah, I’m scared! Wow. Last 300 rep workout I did was 300 squats: I found walking very difficult for about a week! Makes me very determined to stretch very well after this one!

Here I go …. no ugi, I will use sandbag or easier variations.

Yikes …

http://twitter.com/Mariechelon Marie

Just finish it! It was BRUTAL! I almost cried! I glad I finish it! My time: 35min with some modifications for beginner. I loved the new exercices!

Kendra

Hmmm…This workout was great, and I’m a little disappointed in my time–I did it in 35:38. I’m in good shape…maybe I took too many breaks? But there were so many that exhausted my muscles so I had to stop for a bit. I used a 30lb “sandbag” (bag with weights in it) and a homemade “ugly ball” (comforter stuffed in a bag with 10lb of weight in the middle).

The first round of the jump lunge I used a 10 lb weight, and then for the rest of the rounds I switched to my ugly ball, and I have to say–the ugly ball is WAAAAYYY harder than a weight. Made me appreciate the equipment and the benefits you get from all sorts of funny things–instability, size, weight distribution, etc. I would say the jump lunge was the hardest for me, and it was about 3 times harder with the larger, more awkward and softer ugly ball than with a simple dumbbell. I was going to buy a sandbag next, but just may do the Ugi ball! My homemade one was kind of awkward for the push offs–I tried doing some on my stability ball, but that was too big and instable.

So…I think I’ll try this one again next week and beat my score…I’m baffled how some of you did it in 20 minutes!!! I want to get it down to 30 min or less.

And a burpee for Erin! I forgot so I’ll do it now!!

Jean Louise

Zuzane, your arms are getting so defined. They look great and that’s what I’m working toward, as well and health, strength and flexibility (I’m older, so I have to think more about that, too).

I haven’t done this workout yet and you guys are scaring me! I’ll make sure to set aside plenty of time and water as this one sounds way brutal.

I love all the good wishes and burpee for Erin. It almost seems her strength has oozed into some of us.

Annalise

Rockers,

18:14 for me.
My sandbag is 5kgs. I did dive bomber from my knees to keep good form (and get through it!) also. Did ugi push off from the floor.

Sweaty; happy.

Burpee love to Erin, and to all bodyrockers busting positivity in the face of life’s challenges.

I only completed 3 circuits of this workout. I honestly tried to push for more but then I started to feel fainty. I got a real good sweat though. Used a 10lb medicine ball. Maybe my body needs a day or two of rest, because I have never felt like that before, plus my muscles are super sore. I’ll take 2 days off, do not want an injury. Oh and my time for the 3 rounds was 18mins.

Those dive bomber push ups were brutal! I feel SO good after this workout, what a fantastic burn!

Time: 22:31….with a couple small breaks. :)

Nice work everyone!

Alana6

28m 48s!!
With 11kg sandbag, my stability ball for lunge jump twists – which was so cruel for my arms by the way after divebombers and my sandbag on a step for for the Ugi push offs. All proper form. KILLER!!

Donna

Hey Zuzana and Freddy:) This was brutal but not brutal enough to sweat off my false eyelashes from the great night I had last night at my brothers engagement…ha (and yes I did cleanse my face before bed) I had a ball and enjoyed a feast of cheat meals. I am really pleased with myself because when I first saw this workout I really didn’t want to do it especially after hearing you say you wanted to quit in round 4. I done all 5 rounds in 18:29 and used my own bodyweight and a 5 kilo dumbell as my legs, abs and arms are sore from all the Greek dancing and bellydancing last night;) Looking forward to you sharing your cheat meals and then I will share mine there also:) Totally loving you guys XoXo

MariaBjørgJepsen

That sounds like a hell of a GREAT party, my dear :) I really hope I can see a pic of you in your killer dress!!! I really missed you and BodyRock on my holiday. I participated in a fun outdoor music camping festival with my family and their sweet friends. I have had a lot of beer and some unhealthy foods now and then, because that is just a part of it. I feel a bit guilty, but the great times were all worth it. I am pretty sure you will soon see some very bad-ass-Maria pictures on Facebook, which will reveal my sinning moments, ha ha. Now, I am up to give the 1-weekly-cheat-day a shot. I know I can do it! How have you been, sweety? Was it a hard fast?

Sooo.. I just finished the one.. Holy smokes it was a doozie of a workout! Brutal! I love it! The last round I just kept pushing and pushing- I finished in 25:17, but I think it would have taken me a bit longer to do the complete workout if I had the ugi ball. No worries- I still did it, keeping form- and I even did a burpee for Erin. My dad passed away from cancer last year- and I miss him so much- so I know you’ll beat it!

Its all the cardio and jumping that got to me on this one! I’m gonna feel it in the morning. :) Thank you, Zuzana and Freddy! For everything you do… I have… 25 days until my 21st B-day (8/25) and I hope to be and look as best as I ever have! :D Lets see if I can achieve it! Wish me luch!

Well, I have an alternative to the equipment Zuzana uses. At least weight wise. I still don’t know what to do about the dip station alt…Anyway, my alt for the sandbag or the Ugi is my 17 or 25 pound dog named Little Bit. He’s a Spoodle (Spaniel/Poodle mix)! And believe me, he gets pretty tiring after awhile. I have started doing little workouts here and there. If I’m up and about to get something or do something, I come back into the living room, pick up my dog, hold him against me and do 20 squats before I sit down again. I do squats in the bathroom when I’m showering or brushing my teeth; I do squats if I’m warming up some food in the microwave… No I just need to start doing pushups everywhere as well. AS WELL as Zuzana’s workouts and I’m good to go! Heehee!!

lol this is so funny :))
http://www.facebook.com/jldodson Jessica Lynn Dodson

This is so funny. I do 27 pushups every time I use go to the restroom. I chose 27 because according to the air force, that is the minimum amount of pushups for a fit female. I even do them at work…which can be a bit awkward when people come in and see me on the floor.
- Maria Sweden
  
  Lol, love it! I have to start doing that myself. 27, good number. :)
Jill Hobbs

That’s awesome that you use your dog! Does he mind?

Wow….This workout…BRUTAL…!!! I complete it in 37minute. I’m using 13kg sandbag,5kg dumb bell for the jump lunge & twist. For the Ugi push up…I use 2 dumb bell..doing tricep push up with plank knee tuck..

And I add One BURPEE for Erin!!!! woohoooo…!!!

Vala

Cool! Did you use the same weights as Z.?

26:29! with a kettlebell of 8kg, ugi push off in a beginner version…
those dive bombers burpees were brutality pur – I made a little trick – I was dedicating each one of them to Erica so I managed to push through and keep proper form!

Sorry for posting this here, it’s not related to the workout.. but I was wondering, when is the best time to weigh oneself? I always thought in the morning before breakfast and after going to the toilette, so when you are the lightest. is that true or does it even matter?

tee

I think you’re right, but I think the most important is that you do it at the same time because your weight can change throughout the day so if you weigh at the same time you will see if there is a weight difference from day to day.

  Yeah I thought so too and that in the morning you have a “defined reference point” or whatever. ^^ thanks!

I think you should not weigh yourself at all. As long as you feel good, that is what matters.

  Oh that is great of you to say! =) Since I’m underweight after starting Bodyrock I got a little worried, but on the other hand, I feel more happy, self-confident, healtier, stronger than ever and like my body a lot more now.

Just finished it. 33.39 miuntes.The last 5 dive bomber in each round took me more time. Was really hard, but of course as usual i’m glad i did it.
Have a nice sunday all.

Mary Lou

Not the workout to tackle after a 10 day roller coaster vacation, but I guess running around amusement parks after 3 kids all day is a workout in and of itself… I managed 33:58 with a 20lb sandbag and 5lbs in a rolled up sleeping bag as an Ugi. I still hate dive bombers, but man are they effective! Did I see that t-shirts are coming? YAY!!!

MariaBjørgJepsen

I will dedicate every single Burpee I do to Erin, from now on. All my thoughts and full support to you and your beautiful family <3

Holy Holiday, that was a brutal come-back-workout! I pushed so damn hard and felt a little like puking afterwards, ha ha. I MISSED YOU GUYS A LOT during my little holiday. I wasn't able to do any real workouts, because the whole camp was like a puddle of mudd most of the days. A lot of fun, great music and many, many beers. It feels good to sweat again and feel less guilty ;)My time was = 16:52.I used my 15 kilo sandbag for the twist lunges and sumo squats and a 8 kilo dumbbell for the jump lunge swings. Everything was much harder than it looked!!! I love all the new exercises.
Thank you Z & F – have a great trip!

I finally got the currage to do this workout! :D I’m so proud of myself. My time: 32:07.

I did knee tuck instead of the Ugi push up and used a 3 kg dumbbell for the Jump squat and swing and 9 kg sandbag for the Lunge twist and Sumo squat.
The Burpee I did for You, Erin, was not pretty but the willpower was sincere and full of positivity. I’m thinking of you and your family, sending strenght and health.

Thank you for yet another great workout Zuzana and Freddy.

Hello, bodyrockers! I haven’t posted in a while because I’ve been training to run a race in the fall. I hope to bodyrock every day after that point, though! This workout was brutal. I finished in 28:41, but I must confess, I had to do modified “ugi pushoffs” because I don’t have that equipment. Thanks for being here, guys!

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

I have to admit that this workout scares me… So I didn’t do it today :D
Instead I tried the challenge Jos mentioned a few days ago – Reverse Pushups + Knee Raises, reps counting down like this: 50+50 -> 40+40 -> 30+30 -> 20+20 -> 10+10. It took me amazing 22:58 and my upper back was working so hard! I loved this challenge, and I decide to do it once a week, it is great for practising Reverse Pushups! Not sure if I will be doing this workout on monday or not, I have to start packing for my moving, because I only have 2 weekends to move to the place I am hopefully gonna get this Tuesday, and I need to move most of my stuff, because last 2 weekends in August I need to be at work almost nonstop. I will have to make a workout schedule made out of bodyweight exercises only, to be able to move my equipment to Prague before I go there for good :)

Nina, check out the week starting 6/8/2010. Z&F did 5 consecutive equipment-free workouts. Those 5 are part of the vacation workout schedule I’m planning for myself next week. :)

sweating like a beast and wow legs were BURNING! i used a 10lb sandbag (prob could have done 15lb but i wanted to make sure i finished with good form) and used a 5lb dumbbell for my swings

1) Lunge Twist w/ 10lb bag – 10 reps

2) Dive Bomber Burpee – 10 reps

3) Jump Squat & Swing w/ 5lb dumbbell – 10 reps

4) plank jump with knee tucks – 10 reps

5) Sumo Squat w/ 10lb bag– 20 reps

23min 42s! i know if i would’ve put the extra 5lbs back into my sandbag it would have been longer for sure but i’m really happy with this time!

I’m dead! And I love it, great workout! I’m so looking forward to when I’m living on my own, and bodyrocking all the time! I’m moving out in 3 weeks time, finally on my own 2 feet!
My time for this challenge was 22:10, I used a 15kg (30pounds) bag for the lunge twist and sumo squats, and a 5 kg (10 pounds) weight for the swings.. I’m drenched :) Especially the lunge twists made me use my abs, yay!

http://www.facebook.com/jldodson Jessica Lynn Dodson

This workout was easily 20 times harder than any of the ones that I did while I was in the military…most of your workouts are. I feel like I can conquer the world just because I survived this workout… i completed it in 27:35, but I don’t have an UGI ball so I had to do the knee tuck modification. Also, i don’t have a sandbag, so I just throw a bunch of books into my old gym bag until it’s heavy enough. I am thinking it’s about time I buy a sandbag already as I don’t think my gym bag will survive much more bodyrocking.

Amanda Haskin

This workout was AWESOME! Just what I need on a Sunday morning :) I used 30lbs for the lunge twists and sumo squats and I did the ugi push off of a regular stability ball…worked pretty well!! I completed this workout in 28:32. I hope everyone has a FANTASTIC day! Heading out to the drive in with my lady friends this evening…can’t wait!!!

WOW after reading all these comments I definitely want to do this workout again with my SANDBAG and an UGI. I didn’t have either with me at the time/place I was doing it…is used Kettlebells as an alternative. My time was 25:01:30 (I commented yesterday) and it was definitely hard but I know my time would have been slower and the workout way way WAY harder (even tho it was so hard) so I can’t wait to do this again the right way….

So excited about this one – can’t wait to do it!
I have a questions for you bodyrockers or Zuzie and Freddy: for the exercise for which you switch side, did you count one rep on the left side and one rep on the right side as 1 rep or 2 reps?
Thanks for your help ;)

Natalie Anna

I couldn’t finish D: I was SO angry! I have no other place to do my workouts besides outside on my driveway, so that’s where I do them but it’s SO hot right now D: Every time I finished 10 reps of an exercise I had to walk into my garage and sit for a minute. I felt dizzy and woozy and after the 3rd round I felt nauseated… This frickin heat is annoying. =/ The 3 rounds took me 19 minutes and 37 seconds. I definitely think I could have finished all 5 and gone through it fast if it wasn’t so damn hot outside lol but I pushed as hard as I could and that’s all that matters, right…? haha

maybe you could do them while you have a sprinkler on so you can keep yourself cool. or wear a wet cloth around your neck, or a wet hat on your head.

  if i wear a hat will it really help? im going to try to do the other 2 rounds today, or maybe do an extra one if i feel up to it. ill wear a hat and see how it works. thanks!

When it is so hot, I think it is better to do your workouts inside, unless you wake up early and you do it while it’s still kind of cool. I read some article recently that if you put a fan on in your direction when you workout , you perform much better, because your body doesn’t overheat. I tried it and for me there was indeed a huge difference. I wasn’t getting dizzy anymore.
I also get nauseated if I overheat and just keeping myself hydrated doesn’t help, sometimes it makes it worse. Try putting a fan in front of you if you have one with a cord long enough.

+ 1 burpee for Erin :3

V.I.G.

19 min.???? I most have skipped something:/ I used a 12,5 kg sandbag, and only a 2 kg ball, maybe that explains it….

I did the most important thing, one burpee for Erin, sending lots of love:)

AWESOME WORKOUT … i want more workouts like this please@!! killers!!!!
32 minutes and 8 seconds… it’s AMAZING

Okay, can someone please call an ambulance to Guelph, Ontario Cananda, I need oxygen STAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously Zuz, that was tough, I am in a full body shake and sweat at the moment. I truly didnt think I was going to finish; happy to say I did though. However, I did have to make a few alterations because I had a tough time doing the dive bomber exercise..it`s like my brain and body just could`t work together for this one, so I did the modified version…and that was STILL tough! I also don`t have an ugi ball so I used my daughter`s soccer ball and MAN!! This was a very challenging exercise! I totally had to zone everything out in order to focus on my balance and form of the movement. My husband finally filled my sandbag yesterday for me….I think I need to empty some sand because when I weighed it after the workout I came to realize it is 32lbs!!! Or maybe I shouldn`t considering I got through it…this entire workout was a killer! Thank you!!!!

My time 29:17.

Have a great day BodyRocerks…..and Erin…..I did 1 Burpee before and 10 Burpees after my workout in your honor this afternoon girlfriend. I will be writing to you later today……keep smiling, you have a beautiful one! xoxo
Best wishes to you and your family, Tammy

I hope that you guys are going to tell us about your second cheat day. I am curious about it.

MariaBjørgJepsen

Couldn’t agree more :D PLEASE, do tell every foodie detail, ha ha!

Jill Hobbs

Wow ~ The name of this workout certainly fits! Although I think “Bring on the Brutality” might be a better name. I like it when Zuzana & Freddy give names to the workouts that don’t have the reps included. It makes them more unique. I found the Dive Bomber Burpees and Jump Squat & Swings to be particularly challenging. I am proud of myself for doing the Jump Squats with my arms in the air. I usually have to keep them out to the side. I held a pillow since weight was too much to handle and I don’t have an Ugi Ball. My time = 28:37.

OK that was brutal! I think 5 dive bombers each round would have been good for me! same for those ugi pushoffs! they made everything else seem easy! OK not really but they both killed me!

I used 5lb weight for lunge twist and jump lunge & swing & a stability ball for ugi & nothing for sumo’s! (It would have killed me! tee hee!) I have to admit everything got higher each round except squats, I kept those pretty low!

I would not put my knees down for those dive bombers but they probably took 5 minutes all by themselves in the last round.
first round took 5min 44 sec, 2nd roundtook 5min 43sec, 3rd round took 6min 20sec, 4th round took 6min 48 sec, last round took 8 min 43sec! but I wasn’t going to stop even if it took all day!

and I sent my best wishes for erin during my cooldown, fight hard, don’t give up!

my father in law passed away wed from cancer so I hadn’t worked out since tuesday, so I dedicated this workout to him, make our bodies stronger so we can fight these horrible diseases!

Janessa Reimer

This looks sooo hard, but awesome! I want to cry….i can’t workout because of my arm, i somehow pinched a nerve at work or something and have to rest it, i am going to doctors and physio to try and find out what it wrong with it. shooting pain down my arm, tingling and numbness. I so badly want to workout, i feel like i’m missing out. I know its nothing like what erins going through by far tho. I do a burpee everyday for erin….even tho it kinda hurts. sorry for complaining….

Chelsea Steuwer

Quick question, I would love if someone would reply:) Im going to be ordering the Ugi Ball so I can have all of the exact equipment as zuzanna. However Im not sure which ball I should get, im 17 I wouldnt say I am at a high fitness level but Im definitely not at a low one! I was thinking between the Pink 8lb. one or the 10lb. Ball. However zuzanna sometimes you switch your balls up but thier is no way I can afford to buy 2 balls. So if I end up getting the 8lb ball and its to light for me can I return it for a refund and exchange it for the 10lb ball? Well I have to pay additional fees for the return? What size balls do you guys use? Thanks for anyone and everyone who answers! :)

Chelsea Steuwer

P.S THE PINK ONE IS OUT OF STOCK… WHEN WILL IT BE IN STOCK AGAIN? ANYONE KNOW? IF ITS WILL BE AWHILE WHERE ELSE CAN I ORDER JUST THE BALL ALONE?
AmberRose31

I say if it’s out of stock then you should order the 10lb one. Zuzanna posted on another workout that she ordered the pink one for the color as well as the weight and that’s probably (totally assuming here) why she switches back and forth. There are always fees for returning something…if nothing more than the time lost getting the new one back to you. Go for the heavier ball…it only means more intense workouts right??

Patrick

ocean, sun, sand, and the biggest rock i could find…you get the idea.

300 reps for me, plus 1 for erin. time? no idea, was at the beach.

Laurenl

Brutal is the word! I did this one in the afternoon today and really had to tell Brutus to shut it. I got through every round using 8lbs for the jump lunge swings and 16lbs for the other weighted portions. Not as strong as Zuzana yet! I am asking for a sandbag for my birthday in September which will kick off my goal of using a heavier weight in my body rocking:) My time for the workout today was 32:20. I also did my burpee for Erin after!! Love to all Bodyrockers!

Happy National Day to all Swiss BodyRockers.
Have a wonderful day!

Done!! finally super tough workout especially the UGI push off , did not have a UGI ball so did it with a stepper balancing on the narrow end.

We need some more tough workouts like this go Bodyrockers

Unfortunately I couldn’t complete all 5 sets of this routine as my hubby has come from work to have a lunch so I had to stop and feed him)))) ok.. well, I finished 4 sets, my arms were shaking and I am still sweating…. I used 10 kg water bottle instead of sandbag & 5 kg bottle instead of ugi in jump lunges & swing. for ugi push off I used my fit-ball. So I completed only 4 sets in 21 minute 20 seconds but know I had a strength to do all 5 sets though…. while I was writing this I did a burpee dedicated to you, Erin!!! You will conquer this, girl!!!! Hope that all the good energy & fluids from us will support you!

SO GREAT!!! :)
Dive Bombers were hardest for me, I have to do couple of them by knees each round.
Finished this in 27 min. :)

Christine Bastien

Great workout! …As usual! What I love about these, is that you can make them harder or easier, depending on your endurance, by modifing the extra weight, number of reps, or even the intervals! If you find the workout not challenging enough, you have the power in your home to make it harder!…or easier.. like I do. My time was 25min. but with 10lbs for the back lunge twist and for sumo squats, and 8lbs. for jump lunges swing. And I don’t think my form is as good as yours, Zuzana, so it makes it even esier, but still really hard for me!

http://www.youtube.com/user/FitMindy?feature=mhum Mindy McT

This workout was great!! I love the rep count workouts. My total time was 28.57. The only modifications I made were: 15 lb dumbbell for Lunge and Twist, Jump Lunge and Swing, and sumo squats, for the ugi push-off I used a slightly deflated stability ball, and as for the dive bomber burpees…. I tried my hardest to keep proper form but I had to drop to my knees for at least 5 reps each round. Brutal. My upper body is hurting today.

AmberRose31

wow…I also wanted to give up at the 4th round…but also at the 2nd and 3rd. I really didn’t have it in me to WANT to finish this workout…I pushed through and had a really good time. I’m wondering if I was doing an exercise wrong…or am I really improving that much. I did my workout out in just under 29min and also got in my burpee for Erin!

I used a 10lb weight for the 2 lunge exercises, did the dive bombers on my knees, I don’t have and Ugi so I did the Ugi push off on the floor, and used a 20lb backpack for the sumo squats.

Vala

OMG!
I beat Zuzana! I can’t believe it. I used the exact same weight as you, Z (in kg it’s been 14kg and 5kg). My “Ugi-Ball” was a round mat, fixed together so it was soft and unstable at the same time just like the ball (I tried it with a sleeping bag first too, but found the mat to be more challenging). Otherwise I used rice bags.

My time is 27:16 minutes :)

I was so psyched I jumped around the house and cheered for myself – lol. My boyfriend commented “she is crazy again” – haha.
My energy was so good I added 5 pistols per leg and 5 free hanging dips.
Thank you Zuzana! I feel so good right now. I’m so happy I found your site and startet your workouts!

Oh man! good for you!! Someday I’ll beat Zuzana’s time…someday ;)

Redid it today, using the same weights and beating my personal best! My time today was 24:35 minutes!

I bought some greens supplements, its called garden of life (field greens) has any one heard of it? i tried it for the first time this morning, and it tasted AWFUL. i tried to get as much down as i could, but then i had to throw the last bit out lol if i mix it with juice would it taste better? because i used water…

http://www.facebook.com/felinemenina Anna Carolina F

of cause, it tastes better with some juice ;). Try to make a smoothie of it with fresh veggies and fruits or add some yogurt + dates/bananas .

Bon aptetite

Natalie Anna

oh! and i have another question, is soy protein better/as good for you as whey protein? what’s the difference between them? thanks!

http://www.facebook.com/felinemenina Anna Carolina F

The different is the one is vegetable protein (albumin) the other animalprotein (lactalbumin).

Whey protein has a fast resorbation quality about 30 min/100% and a lot of BCAAs in it. soyprotein has a big amount of glutamin (one of the important musclebuilding protein) and a valency of 80%.
Normally soy is greasier than whey but most of the soyprotein products are low in fat so you don´t have to worry about it.

I´m not sure which one is the best for YOU!? But I would choose a vegan product like soy because I really don´t know what all those cows had got for feed (hormones, drugs, illnesses..) and soy is also a complicated theme (gene-modified, pesticide, …) ->better organic and natural (no synthetic flavours, vitamin, sugar) one!

This was my workout for today. I did it in 26:25!!! Yay!
I also did my first Erin burpee. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Erin!!!

I have to share something with other bodyockers: I went kayaking this weekend!
If you guys ever have a chance to go kayaking DO IT! It was amazing! It was a great challenge too – we completed 12 kilometers on day 1 and 20 on day 2 and at times I felt like giving up, but BodyRockers don’t give up!!!
I basically worked out fro 7 days in a row and my whole body is super sore so maybe I’ll leave this workout for tomorrow but honestly I can;t wait to do it! :)

Cheers,
Gabija

I LOVE kayaking, I havent been able to do it in years though but its a great workout and so much fun!

I have gone kayaking and it is amazingly fun and very challenging. I was very sore after doing it, so yeah, probably a good idea to take a break. This ones brutal, but fun! Enjoy!!

I HOPE THAT OTHERS AGREE WITH THIS!– I really LOVE when weight is involved for legs in the workouts! I have skinny thighs and envy zuzanas strong legs and would love to build up my +legs while decreasing fat. Its hard for me to build lower body muscles so I need to include weight in mine. Does anyone else have this problem? :)

http://delightfultastebuds.com Jos

Just take your time. Overall I’m also a skinny build so totally have to work on my upper AND lower body strength..LOL

http://delightfultastebuds.com Jos

Took off the entire weekend (2 active rest days) and hitting hard the beginning of this week with this!
I seriously wanted to give up MILLION TIMES while doing it, and all those lunges really BURNED my legs a lot!

Ok, 2 things that I did wrong.

First, for Ugi Push Off, I just did bodyweight crossed knee tucks but then I made a mistake by jumping to plank AFTER 2 knee tucks instead of after each knee tucks. In the future I might want to do a Reptile Push Ups with Crossed Knee tucks.

Second, I did 6 rounds total instead of 5 rounds..haha

5 rounds – 29:12
6 rounds – 34:36

Oh plus 2 burpees for Erin!

teacupkat

34 minutes…. kind of a hard workout to jump into after being on vacation for a week, felt a little nausea toward the end, but powered through! I used 20 pounds in a bookbag that acted like my sandbag for all workouts that required it and used 2 five pound dumbbells overhead for the jump and swing. Decided to join you on your diet, got a wedding to look good for in less than a year! And after being semi lazy for a week, not feeling too wonderful, but I am sure a good diet and exercise I’ll be right back to where I was and hopefully, better. :D

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=706388249 Tori Larson Bradford

Wow. That was crazy fun. I finished in 30:48. I don’t have a UGI so I started off doing the jump lunges with a 12 lb medicine ball. After the first round I knew I couldn’t do that for the rest of the rounds so I grabbed my balance ball and used that. It still gave me a bit of resistance. For the UGI push off I just used my sandbag. The worst part were the dive bomber burpees. Yikes, those were so hard for me. Thank you yet again for a great workout.

Ali

Yey! Did it! Juicy but loving it.
29 min total! But i do some breaks on between, if not, so sick!
Oh and of couse the burpee for erin! :D

Anonymous

I knew this was gonna be brutal (its in the title so…yeah…) and it really delivered. The dive bomber burpees were agonizing, the jump lunge with swing about made me topple over by the last round and the Ugi Push off…forget it!! I tried one on a basket ball and about knocked my teeth out because I couldnt’ keep balance! So…I did the whole thing, with some modifications and I salute all who did it with no modifications. My time is 32 min 05 sec.

OH! I was so focused on completing this workout I forgot about Erin’s burpee…hang on, I’ll be right back!!
Ok, ok, Erin, that was for you. One burpee and a “conquer cancer” for you.

Anonymous

I finished in 19:36 min. Very proud of myself!
I also did 10 more dive bomber burpees for Erin.

Aletinita

i did it in 40 minutes… oh my god, i had to modify some of the exercises because the bomber is still a challenge for me… i did a few but then i lost it… hahahah!
I did also 1 burpee after each round for ERIN! Fuerza Erin!

Mia

Hello everyone,

so I tackled this one today. I am not in my own place right now so I have zero equipment. I thought of doing the workout just with bodyweight but then I thought again and decided I could do with some extra resistance. I have improvised many sandbags before ( I travel a little bit) from rice, water bottles, dog food bag, etc..etc.. but his one I must say was the strangest free weight “sandbaggie” look-a-like I ever put together. It was a around 3.5Kg.. couldn’t fit much more in and thought it was enough for a little extra challenge anyway.
Used it for the lunge twist and sumo squat. It was a bit dangerous to do the jump squat and twist as something could fall on my head, so I jumped then grabbed the weight from the floor and twisted. This didn’t last long thouhg, I though that just holding the lunge and twisting without any weight was enough strain on my legs and the hole picking up-putting down the weight was slowing me down and slowing the pace so the reamining four rounds i did the jump and twist with just body weight.
No ugi here, or anything I could think of using as substitute so I did the bodyweight version of the ugi suezze.
Puff, what long comment.. anyway.. took me 26’02” and damn was I feeling it on my legs!! Thanks dearest Z&F!

Take care.

P.S.: check out my sandbagg eheheh. Oh, and of course there was the “Erin burpee” at the end. Big hug

tee

I love your sandbag!
Patrick

very nice!! good for practicing your balance too, you don’t want to spill those! :)

Great Workout thank you Zuzana and Freddy :)
finished in 24:42 and I completed 10 Burpees for BodyRocker Erin :)

Ricarda33

If I had complained about the easy workouts – I take it back!!!
This was a hell of a workout. Especially for shoulders and arms They are still shaking, and I hear my blood rushing in my ears… Girl you almost gave me a heart attack. :D
Although I broke down a few times during the the dive bombers I made it true. Finished in 31:50 min.
I had to use my gym ball for the Jump Lunges and Swing because I couldn’t jump up with much weight. :O
And I used my homemade sandbag for the Ugi Push Off.
All in all I think I did great.
Keep it coming, Zuzana. :))

Ricarda33

After 10 min break I did 10 jiggling burpees just for Erin. Hope it will help a little. I wish her all the luck of the world to have the strength to fight this and get healthy again.

30 min 36 secs… Lunge twist 12.50 pnds and Jump Lunge Swing 7.5 pnds.

I havent worked out in two months. My father passed away on June 11th, it was unexpected so I had to go back home and help with his business. Plus To be honest I did not have the motivation or the energy to think about working out after losing my father. The most important man in my life. He had a massive heart attack. He suffered from high cholesterol, he was never a healthy eater and despite my efforts of teaching him there was nothing I could do.

Somehow I manage to wake up early today to run 2 miles, and after school today I did this workout.

It makes me mad every time I lose someone for a cause that could be avoided. I lost my grandmother when she was 73 she had diabetes and she also had a heart attack.

My father was 62. His arteries were between 80%-100% blocked, the doctors and nurses tried everything to resuscitate him and add catheters but they could not get thru.

Sometimes I feel I could do everything right and I could use the rest of my day teaching other about healthy habits but at the end is about each one of us.

What a great idea to do a Burpee for Erin! I’m in! =)
This workout was tough. At the end of the third round I seriously wanted to throw in the towel but I had Zuzana’s voice in my head telling me to keep pushing & I did! I finished all 5 rounds in 39:22!

Zuzana and most of us only do one workout a day. They are short but they are so intense, you won’t be able to do more than one. You could do two but you’d have to space them apart. It doesn’t seem like it’s enough, but I started in November and I have lost 15lbs of fat and gained 5lbs of muscle. The first 10 pounds came off in the first two months. I feel great. Welcome to bodyrock!!!

Kendra

Hi Lena! Welcome to BodyRock!

Your schedule sounds like it would be really tiring! Definitely don’t beat up on yourself for your challenges–it’s hard sometimes! Just keep looking forward. I know for myself and for many others, this community is GREAT for getting and staying motivated. Zuzana is so cheerful and charming, and everyone here is really, really supportive. I look forward to working out every day!

Everyone’s different of course, but for me, since I’ve switched over to the BodyRock method, I try to do at least 5 workouts a week (usually 6, but sometimes 5 is all I can do). Now, some of these workouts are 12 minutes long. 12! You could sit and stare at the ceiling for 12 minutes. Take a shower. Cook pasta. It’s only 12 minutes–just do it, give it your all, and then that’s done. Just make an effort to do SOMETHING. I find that the more frequently I work out, the more motivated I am to keep it up, rather than working out less frequently but for greater amounts of time. ANd hey–can’t fit in 12 minutes? Zuzana has a 6 minute workout, and even a 4 minute one. Just do SOMETHING–it will energize you.

Remember–feelings are not facts. Also, the more you brood about things, the worst they get. Also, quitting smoking will help with energy. I didn’t smoke that much, but I did use Alan Carr’s book, and found a lot of lost energy (along with other things).

Best of luck!

Kendra

OK, well, I did this the other day and just felt like I totally did suckalicious. I did beat my time–I got 33:54 this time, and I really pushed myself. But seriously–HOW do some of you do this in 20 minutes, and with weights? Well, I guess a few minutes over Zuzana ain’t bad.

Annie_B

28:35 mins was my time for this BRUTAL workout. I started with 15 sun-salutation and 5 mins skipping for warm-up. I used 30 lbs. bag and 10 medicine for this one .Felt like giving up since the 1st round,seriously lol. It was sooo hard but then I thought about bodyrocker Erin. She is such a true fighter and that made me push through the last round + 1 Burpee for her.

PS.Being a royal bodyrocker ovr a year, I’ve never found any of your workouts are EASY Zuzi :) Thank you guys!!

creedy2280

27:11 but i had a ton of modifications plus i think my computer timer was off. Hard workout.sheesh i think i was raining sweat. next cold water lots of it.

Anonymous

Tough, tough, tough.
I also felt like giving up but I’m glad I didn’t. However, I feel a little guilty because I didn’t do any skipping afterwards, I was really really exhausted, my legs were shaking :)
I used 9 and 5 kg dumb bells instead of sandbag and Ugi, for Ugi push off I got creative and did them on my backpack stuffed with old magazines and towels :)
My time was 32:45 and yes, it was brutal.

I think kendra’s idea is great! on your 10 hr days, do a short workout like a 4 min workout. like one of Zuzana’s or design your own. on your two nights maybe make those off days, or just do something active. your first day off, maybe make sure it’s only a 12 min or a 10 min challenge so you feel like you recover, then next three days do what zuzana put up that week or pick your own.

I quite often plan my week with workouts, on days I work I pick the interval trainings, 12 min to 20 min and on weekends I will do the longer workouts or the time challenges because I have more time.

Hi Guys,

Burpees in Kingston, Ontario? You know California has the Redwoods, Death Valley: and many many mountains and waterfalls all great backdrops for Burpees. Also there are many amazing missions, churches and some ghost towns.that would have been fun to checkout as well as “burpeefy”

Actually the reason I’m post again is I wanted to say I did 100 burpees for Erin! :-)

My best wishes,
–Chris

100 burpees! awesome, that’s a lot of love chris!

as for the burpees everywhere tour, of course canada is the best! ha ha ;)

  Hi Tee,
  
  The 100 Burpees relates to Zuzana saying she would do 100 when the facebook page reached 100,000 and the first “Bodyrock City” came into being. A hundred isn’t that many really…but I tried to stay focused on Erin and her being well all the time and that was actually hard with all the distractions of animals, birds and people. I was in a little park near my house doing them.
  
  Of course the best place to start a tour is home, but we all come from this great roundness and it’s biosphere!!! So home is subjective really. :-)
  
  Take care,
  –Chris
  PS Off to visit LAX for a hour or so and then Dallas which is what 103 degrees F lots of A/C on there!? Chris isn’t going to leave a small carbon footprint today! :-(
