It’s So On Right Now! Workout

Hi BodyRockers,

Did you miss us? As the title of today’s workout implies, we are back to rock you guys out with a completely new workout :) We have been on a bit on an unintended extended break from posting (1997 internet speeds in Italy while we were traveling), but now that we are in France and have found high-speed internet again we will be getting back on track with regular updates. We are glad to be back in touch with you guys!

We have shared pretty much all of our travel adventures with you guys up to this point, and we are coming into the final leg of our Burpees Everywhere Tour. We still have a few weeks left, and we are looking forward to sharing our stops in France with you :) We are really looking forward to getting back into a regular training schedule with you guys – we hope that you have been keeping up with your training over the summer holiday :) Can you believe how fast August went? Summer still has a hold in Italy, but here at the foot of Mount Blanc, Fall is already whispering in the breeze. What is it like where you are?

I hope that you enjoy your training – we wanted to come back strong and shake things up with something that would really push you guys and let you know that you are BodyRockers :) It’s so on right now – so get your timers set and get moving!

Best,

Freddy & Zuzana

Instructions:

All of the exercises in this workout are explained in the video above including variations for beginners.

This workout is 20 minute long interval training. You will need to set your Interval Timer for 20 rounds of 10 and 50 seconds long intervals. The 10 seconds is your rest interval (it has to be set as the first one on your timer) and the 50 second interval is the one during of which you have to work at your maximum effort. You can do this entire workout with just your own bodyweight or you can use the equipment that I am using for an extra boost. I like to use the Sandbag that gives me extra weight to work with and my Fit Ball that forces more of my muscles into action which is crucial for fat loss and overall fitness.

This workout is made up of 2 rounds of 10 super fun :) exercises so that you can really enjoy your training. I am getting a little fancy now don’t I? ;)

My scores:

1. Sandbag Swing

round 1 – 31 reps, round 2 – 28 reps

    So I just had to share this. I recently returned from a family wedding and while I was there I managed to get my mom and brother to Bodyrock with me. Now my brother runs track in high school and works out often but he could barely keep up with me but my mom….she did more than keep with me she beat me most of the time and I have to say that I am so proud of my mom for taking care of herself, she’s only 40 but still it’s nice to know she cares about staying healthy. That and we had to restart the workouts like twice becuase when my family gets together everything is a joke, and we couldn’t stop laughing at my brother doing the sumo pulse calve raises from Halo of Sweat.

  • Carmen1vr

    Can’t wait to try this one tomorrow =)

  • Katie

    I plan on doing this one Wednesday.  My friend, whom I have recruited recently to BodyRock.tv, is coming over to do her 2nd workout tomorrow.  I am going to have her pick it out so that she can get into it herself and see how it all works.  I even loaned her my old Gymboss which works fine but I snapped the clip off.  In regards to Zuzana and Freddy hoping everyone worked out while they were away, I can safely say I sure did, every day for the most part. Plus my burpees for Erin.  I am getting close to my 1.5 year anniversary with BodyRock.tv and I feel stronger and fitter than ever. This week I am adding an additional 5 pull ups and 5 one legged squats per leg to my daily workouts.  Just for fun. Zuzana, what is that necklace?  Where did you get it?  I love it, and I have heard chatter about it on here a bit. Thank you for all that you do, and enjoy the final leg of your vacation!

      Hi Katie,

      First of all thank you for sharing our workouts and spreading the words about BodyRock. It’s also nice of you that you are helping your friend and supporting Erin with Burpees. To answer your question about my necklace – it’s a familly heirloom about 300 years old and I was blessed to be the one in our family to carry it until I pass it on to the next generation. I wear it mostly when traveling because it has special powers that protects travelers :) 

      • Katie

        Zuzana,

        Awesome, thanks for the necklace info, I am sad that I can’t go get one, but glad you have such a special heirloom to protect you in your journeys.  Thanks for the note, and the new workout! 

        Best,

        ps.  I think I just met some local Bodyrockers here to get together with!

    Cross legged burpees: 7, 7
    Turkish jump up: 9, 8
    Ugi Crab: 29, 30

    Okay. dripping in sweat! Time for cool down and shower! :D I’m so glad you two can upload videos! From France, especially! I’m so jealous! :) Doing my extra burpee for Erin, too!

    • Anonymous

      Don’t worry we don’t think that you were not pushing hard enough just because you didn’t puke :) haha. Well done and thanks for the Burpee for Erin! 

  • http://zumbrorunner.blogspot.com Ktmatv

    Glad you are back with a new workout! (even though I have been doing old routines, especially ones suggested by other members!) Earlier today I did the fast burn workout-that was great! Now, I saw that you had posted a new routine and I had to try it before going to bed! It was a great one! The only drawback for me, was the second to last exercise. I probably should have watched the entire movie first, so I did not fully understand it. I ended up doing a smooth move from a R. rear lunge to a squat to a L rear lunge and then in reverse. But, my scores:

    1. 26/27
    2. 8/10
    3. 10/10
    4. 35/36
    5. 25/28(used a step in our house since I do not have a UGI)
    6. 26/26
    7. 16/16
    8. with no UGI-95/100
    9. Unsure
    10. 7/8

    Thanks for another fabulous workout!

    Yay finally a new workout! Thank you so much for putting your time doing this :) I’ll do this one probably sometime next week since I already made my own workout schedule for this week. :)

  • Hal

    I’ll do this one tomorrow and please don’t apologize for not posting while on your holiday.  It is YOUR holiday after all.  Enjoy.  

  • Christie

    Oh you guys you have no idea how good a “whisper of fall” sounds, this past weekend in Austin Texas the high got to 112 degrees, tomorrow will be 107. But later this week were getting a cool front! Highs in the upper 90′s! This workout looks great can’t wait to do it tomorrow :)

    • AudraG

      I feel your pain Christie!  It’s no better here in Phoenix lol :)  Unfortunately, we have to wait for our ”whisper of Fall” around October here.

    This looks terrible! In a good way. :) I can’t wait to try it tomorrow!

    I’m planning on this one this evening! I burnt some calories watching the video (yeah morning workout, haha!!!) and I’ll burn a lot more doing this later in the day!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Phoebe-Eftychidou/737599693 Phoebe Eftychidou

    Just one more thing, I started watching all your videos from the past, starting from day one of BODYROCK.TV, and is so obvious is how happier you look now compared to back then. Now you smile all the time in your videos (which is so good btw!) and the tone of your voice sounds calmer, more soothing and welcoming ( I don’t know if this makes any sense, but its the way I felt it).

      I agree Phoebe!

  • Estelle-France

    I live near Paris so it’s funny for me to imagine that you are so close and I am pretty sure you cannot visit France without making a stop in Paris. The weather is great here now so I hope you enjoy your French vacation. I did not follow your workouts these last few days because of back pain but I can’t wait to go back to my daily workouts.

  • Anonymous

    Oh I’m so happy that your site gets mentioned in articles on the internet!! (I’ve read one that you left link for on your FB page). Yeeeey! We like spreading the word of BodyRock, and it’s great to see it’s working!! :)

    Don’t know if you have already seen this, but there’s a girl designing women fitness wear (bras, tops, bottoms, etc.) and the name of the brand is Body Rock Sport.. Kinda sucks that she chose that name, because whenever I see Body Rock I always think of you guys! :)

    This workout look so great !! I'm waiting this afternoon to do it!!

    • Donna chiotis

      Watched this video this morning and thought of you:) I knew it would make you happy that they are in France….Wishing you bump into them !!!

  • tee

    why would your mom be upset that you are working out?

  • tee

    use your hands to help push yourself up if you can’t do it, so its like you do a sit up then put your hands down by your bum and push. if your abs are weak the momentum helps. or if you can’t do it with your feet out like zuzana shows, then do the get up version crossing your leg under and using your hands push, you can even push  to hands and knees if you have to and then get up.

  • ulla

    Hey there, nameless one,

    What strikes me most in what you write is that you don’t want your mother and
    siblings to know that you are working out. If I were you, I’d give that bit
    some serious thought and try to figure out why that is. You don’t have to tell
    me if you don’t want to, but this seems to me the main problem that comes up in
    your post. I don’t know her, nor do I know how the two of you interact, so
    there’s only so much I can say about that. But are you sure that she’ll do more
    than just tease you for a few days, then just accept your working out as a
    weird habit?

    If you are, then, yes, you’ll need another place to work out. I don’t know
    where you live, so I don’t know whether working out outside all year round is
    an option, but what about going to a park at a time of day when can be
    reasonably sure no one you know will see you? Maybe you’ll be able to find a
    spot hidden from view between some bushes or shrubs? In most parts of the
    world, that will at least allow you to extend your time to find a solution
    beyond your grandparent’s return. And you’ll get to do some outdoor activities
    on a regular basis, which is always a good thing.

    You mention high school. Is there a way of staying longer after classes in
    order to work out? Maybe you can sneak into the gym and do it there? You could
    really do it anywhere; you’d just have to scribble down the workout breakdown
    on a piece of paper to take it along, after all.

    Maybe you can workout at a friend’s place? You might even be able to find
    someone to work out with you, which might make it even more fun.

    What about working out when you mom’s not at home? I don’t know how your family
    works, so I don’t know if that’s an option, but these workouts, especially the
    twelve minute workouts, are quite short. Most people need about 40 minutes for
    a groceries run: 1 minute to change, 5 minutes to warm up, 12 minutes to work
    out, ten minutes for your stretching, four minutes for a quick shower and
    changing back. You do the math.

    I don’t know your neighborhood, but maybe you can offer to water your
    neighbor’s flowers and take the mail in while they are away on holidays or
    business. That would not only give you a place to work out on a semi-regular
    basis, it might even earn you a few bucks. Find yourself a younger child to
    babysit one night a week. Once the little one is in bed, workout at their
    place. If the kid’s parents catch you doing it, you took your workout along so that
    you had something to do between putting their kid(s) to bed and their return,
    I’m sure they won’t mind.

    As you are still going to school, you probably won’t be able to afford a gym
    membership. But you might want to have a closer look at that, too: they might
    offer student deals. And a cheap gym would do, really; after all, you are after
    a place to do your own workouts and won’t need stellar equipment, lots of
    classes, or any other fancy stuff. Just a place with a roof, a shower, and
    maybe a range of free weights.

    Also, who said that you had to work out at the same place every time? You might
    want to make finding a place to work out part of the adventure (turn it into an
    adventure while you’re at it) and have it add an extra challenge to the mix.

    But I keep getting back to the question I asked first: why is it that you
    cannot work out at home? Are you sure it’s a real reason, and not just
    something that’s happening in your head?

    Take care, and find somewhere safe.

  • Vala

    Wow, this one looks really hard. I plan on doing it thursday after a hard day of rock climbing… we’ll see how this goes!

    Zuzana ! – and all other Bodyrockers – I have a question for you. You have incredible skin, not only the glow, but it seems really tight and elastic, not dry at all, no stretch marks, no other issues… I’d really like to know how you feed your skin (from the inside and outside maybe?). I work out regularly and sweat, reached a low body fat content and also eat enough fat and lots of veggies – but my skin is dry and I don’t know why. I also don’t know what kind of products might be best to make the skin more elastic, full and bright again – and maybe even trigger building new collagen to tighten things up.
    I’d really appreciate a posting about skin! Maybe there are some bodyrockers out there who made great experiences and can share them?

    • EasternEuropeanGal

      I agree! Zuzana has absolutely gorgeous skin, both face and body! I would
      love to hear from Zuzana about this subject.Healthy radiant skin really comes from the inside. Personally, I
      don’t believe that there are any products that cannot mimic what a healthy diet
      of mostly fruits and vegetables in particular raw fruits and vegetables can do
      for the skin and for your health.
       

      • EasternEuropeanGal

        Looks like a lot of us ladies want to know more about Zuzana’s skin care regimen:)
         
        I would also love to know about what makeup you use Zuzana:) Your makeup always looks so flawless, like a professional makeup artist did your makeup and that pro is obviously you!!  I especially love the makeup you did for this video and these pics, looks like perfection:)

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_OXENO5XUZJUVSKFFJZE5W2MTOU Irina

      Agree – i think Zuzana’s beauty is all natural. Sport+right nutrition. However, speaking about your problem Vala – maybe your skin is dry because your skip fat in your diet. We should be strict with diet of course but we should anyway eat “right” fats otherwise it will result in problems with skin, hair, nails so on. Do you eat olive oil (other oils), nuts so on?
      I also would be happy to hear about Zuzi’s skincare routine. I remember reading somewhere in earlier posts that she isn’;t using any expensive creams.Let’s wait till she will do scincare post!!!!

      • Vala

        Hello Irina,
        you maybe overread it: I eat enough fat. In fact I eat a diet higher in fat and protein and medium in carbs. I use a variation of different fat sources and never buy low fat stuff. I also rely heavily on vegetables and fruit. I skip sugar and grains. And I workout 5 times a week. My hair is really good, a lot of people comment about how good it looks – but my skin could be a lot more radiant and firm. I don’t know. I think Zuzanas skin is natural as well, but who knows – so why not ask :)

        • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1395292098 Sherice Potter

          I have noticed it too and her makeup is always so tastefully done. I have noticed a huge improvement in my complexion since I’ve stopped eating a  lot of sugar and drinking soda.. I drink almost 100 oz of water daily!! that also helps tremendously!! you said you want your skin to be radiant, use an gentle exfoliate once a week and always wear face cream with at least 30 SPF! and always rub your lotion in an upwards angle or you could be damaging your elasticity and later in life you will have saggy skin. Genetics is a huge factor when it comes to skin elasticity and collagen.  I learned all about skin in Cosmetology school.. I hope I gave you a couple ideas! Unfortunately we all can’t look as awesome as Zuzana LOL

          • Vala

            Thank you, that gave me some ideas :)

          • Anonymous

            also lots of water helps to! idk if anyone else said that

    • NU-nu Nour

      YES ZUZ PLEASE tell us your skin routine and some skin advise from your own :)

      • NU-nu Nour

        and please zuz and bodyrockers,, any advise for pimples and their scars?? :(

    • tee

      vala, someone posted to you that they use coconut oil and that their skin was good,  I think someone who was pregnant once posted that they used lots of coconut oil and had no problems with any ski issues especially stretch marks.  only thing is I don’t know if they meant eating it or rubbing it on!  ha ha

      • Vala

        This is what I don’t know as well – lol.

      • Jaraguadom

        i think actually that both ways are good for you!!! i heard from people that cook with it and i used for my hair as well…it does so much good to it..bye,bye dry hair!:)

    • Tammy77

      I know eh? I’ve asked soooOOOOOOO many times about her skin and no response…EVER

    • http://www.pure2raw.com Pure2raw twins

      you need good healthy fats, that will help with dry dull skin – avocados, coconut oil, fish oil, hemp seeds, all good stuff for the skin!

    • Anonymous

      def. incorporating more healthy oils into your diet will help with your skin dryness.  Like olive oil, raw nuts and seeds.  I remember a few years ago when i went like psycho avoiding all fats because i wanted to lose fat (it doesn’t work that way) my face got so dry and even started to flake.  So def. do not avoid healthy fats.  

    • Jaraguadom

      I think the supplements she takes help her a lot!! I hope is that and not just good genes,LOL!:) I know the omega fatty acids contained in some of them, work wonder on your skin…I’m about to try it myself actually..because i noticed Zuzana said in one her videos that she does:D

  • Cfc839

    Loved this workout, but in the end i was going to die haha.. well would like to see France! :D
    your an inspiration so much for us bodyrockers! your like a superwomen well you are :)..
    just did a burpee for Erin hope she will get better!

    Much love Mandy

  • Carrie

    Hi Zuzana, I’m afraid I’ve not been working out while you were on hols but I have a good excuse – I had to go to the osteopath twice because my hip keeps moving out of place when I exercise, after falling and slipping on a soggy trek back in May! However, you can come and kick my butt now that you’re in France because I live here, in the south west!

    What a killer way to start my day.  Used my 20lb SB and 8lb Ugi ball.  Now that I’ve done it once I look forward to doing it more now that I get it and will be able to hit it harder next time.  The stability exercises are tricky!  I could hardly get through the mnt climbers after so much squat work, that was a brutal surprise.  Thank you Zuzana and Freddy! :)  So glad to have you back!!

    SB Swing  29 / 29
    Cross-legged Burpee  6 /6
    Turkish Jump Up  10 / 9
    Ugi Crab  30 / 30

    When it’s too hot for me I do my workout at night, more like midnight. I sleep better and it’s not that hot when I can’t beathe. I always think that after my workout how proud of myself I will be. Oh and I repeat over and over again what I am working for and how I will benefit from it. yboog’s advice is very helpful I think.

    Merci :) This is exactly what I needed this morning!!! Keep punishing us!

    Good sweat :p

    • Donna chiotis

      Hey Vivi, I’m getting ready to do this one now and I’m so pumped for it…

  • AudraG

    Hi Bella, It’s because running burns muscle for fuel.  Bodyrock will not only burn fat but build beautiful functional muscle.  Zuzana’s body is true testament to that.  Keep it up and with a clean diet you’ll have great results here :)

    • Charlie D.

      Is that true?  I’ve been Bodyrocking for over a year now but have just gotten back into running in the last few months.  My scores are lower and I feel less strong lately, although I still look about the same.  Anyone have any tips?  I really love running – it’s kind of a mental health thing – just my own time to be by myself outside.

      • AudraG

        Hey Charlie, it’s ok if you like to run :) In the past I’ve done 20-30 minutes HIIT on the treadmill or rope skipping after Bodyrock to break through plateaus.  Truly, tho I can’t stand running because my knees are always sore afterwards.  Lately, I do Bodyrock for the HIIT cardio/functional strength/plyo effect and lift weights after.  I stopped the longer runs because I felt weaker as well and lost some muscle too.  Maybe try increasing your calorie intake a little?  

  • Amboaksy

    First real bodyrock in three weeks!!!  Don’t have an Ugi ball, but bc I’ve been out of the game for so long, this w/o was challenging enough I think.  lol.

    Sandbag swing:  24, 23
    Cross-Legged Burpee: 9, 11
    Turkish Jump Up (loved this one!): 12, 13
    Ugi crab: 29, 32
    Foot-Elevated Squat (L): 18, 18
    Foot-Elevated Squat (R): 20, 21
    Jump Lunge + Knee Crunch: 12, 13
    Mountain Climber: 90, 90
    Sandbag-Squat/Lunge Combo:  8, 7
    Ugi Full Body Combo:  10, 10

    phew…now to shower!

    So nice to have a new post and workout. It is so encouraging to hear from you and to watch you get through these workouts. I must say I found the last two moves confusing but I just kept moving and then did 12 extra burpees at the end to make up for my confusion- 4 for Erin and 4 each for 2 other people I know in cancer treatment.

    My scores: sandbag swing 25, 27 cross-legged burpee (my new favourite exercise) 11, 10. Turkish get-up 8,6 ugi crab 44, 50 r squat 25, 21 lL squat 29, 24 jump lunge with knee 13, 14 mountain climbers 22, 23 squat lunge combo (ish) 5, 8 ugi full body combo (ish) 8 and 5 + 12 burpees to finish

    I know it is a good workout when I need to change the cloth grocery bags on my home made ugi because they are soaked!

    thanks so much for this.

    Can’t wait for this work out to kick by butt :)

    Really random, but your necklace looks like the Russian orthodox icon necklaces I see around my hometown. Is there a story behind it?

    • ulla

      She commented somewhere else and said it was a very old (did she say 300 years? It was incredilby old, anyway) family heirloom and that she felt very lucky to be the one to wear it for a few years. Since it offers protection to travellers, she mainly wears it when travelling.
      Hope this helps :-)

  • Lila Alejandra ♥

    Hey there guys! I do hope you are having a great time traveling around. I read the other day the article about “jelousy”, so I don´t have to feel guilty by saying I´m soooo jelous of you guys traveling around the world hahaha!! That is something I have always wanted to do!! So good for you guys, I´ve been following the whole trip. Very nice pictures Freddy!!

    You ask how the weather is where we live. Well what can I say, I live in sunny Mexico. So we have great warm weather almost all year long. I´m so happy for that :) Right now it´s the rainy season, rain, rain, rain every day, but I love it. It will end soon, just one more month to go  awww :(

    I did this great work out today. Not bad at all, I loved it! My face is so red! Here are my scores. I only used sandbag and body weight, don´t have the ugi ball yet :(

    10 months bodyrocking!! I never thought I could get near Zuzanita´s score or even beat her in some exercises. I´m so proud of myself!! Now I do feel like a pro bodyrocker!! I still need to work on some exercises but I´m getting there.  Zuzanita and Freddy (and Madonna 53 lol) inspire me every single day and at last I have a body I feel comfortable with, even better form when I was in high school and I´m almost 40!!! Well, 37 and a half…

    Bless you guys and thank you so, so much for everything!! I love you :)

    P.D. I would also like to know how you care for your skin, please write a post about it!!

    hey guys! I honestly wont even post my scores they were so bad!  not because Im ashamed but because I just wasnt myself today. I went on vacation and ate horribly for a whole week :( and skipped my training for 4 days!!!! so now when Im back at it my body was so sluggish and just couldnt keep up like it would have a week ago. I realized that this isnt something I will be doing again and food really does so much more than I thought! :) ps- I also agree about zuzanas skin, its amazing! I would love to know how that happens! :)

    WOW….this one was SUPER difficult for me today, that’s for sure!!  I don’t know if it’s cause I didn’t eat the greatest this weekend or what but I definitely felt sluggish today :(  I feel like my results won’t be too hard to beat when I come back to this one at some point to redo it.  I started off with a 5K run on the trail, came home and attempted this one AFTER my burpee for Erin and an extra one “just because”.  My results:
    SB Swing= 27/23
    Cross Legged Burpee= 8/7
    Turkish Jump Up= 8/8
    Ugi Crab= 32/25
    Foot Elevated Squat L= 23/14
    Foot Elevated Swuat R= 24/15
    Jump Lunge & Knee Crunch= 12/12
    Mountain Climber= 92/76
    SB Squat/Lunge Combo= 5/4
    Ugi Full Body Combo= 6/4

    Soooooo difficult for me, I was pooped by the end of each round!  I did what I could but I look forward to making massive explosions in the result department next time!
    Have a great day Body Rockers!!  CHEERS! :)

      Hey Kimber, this one kicked my a$$ too…made me feel like a complete beginner again. Could be diet, could be hydration, maybe sleep…hard to say what causes these little slumps, but I really had to give myself a piece of my own advice not to get too down on myself. 

      In fact, I came up with the same thought you did – “Won’t it be great to come back to this one down the road and blow these scores out of the water?!” I also told myself “Well, a little step forward is still a step forward”. And on some level, it’s nice to know there are other Bodyrockers going through the same thing. Thanks for sharing Kimber! Here’s to moving forward! :)

        Luv this Dheana! It made my day! Soooo true, I feel the same way! Thanks for sharing! Cheers Girl! :)

    some of these exercises were absolutely brutal!! especially the jumping lunges! i’ve been using a medicine ball instead of an ugi  and i feel it makes some exercises more challenging, due to the fact that it has a big tendency to roll around (especially when my arms are shaking!!)
    i’ve decided to eat really clean for a few weeks and see how i feel – no sugar, flour and processed foods really, such as deli meats, canned items and some dairy (although i’m not ready to swear off yogurt and cottage cheese just yet!!)
    i’ve already been at it for a week and can already see myself leaning out and feeling lighter, with more energy!

    france is a beautiful country – hopefully you get to visit provence because it’s beautiful in the summer!
    enjoy the rest of your trip you guys ;)

  • AudraG

    Hi Trisha,  I’ve tried using Bio-Oil.  It helps hydrate the skin and blend/smooth out the stretch marks a little.  Truly, only time will fade them and of course sadly they never disappear :(  Hope this helps :) 

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1395292098 Sherice Potter

      you can use bio oil and coco butter that might help fade them but in reality nothing will take them away…. Sorry sweets!!  it’s got to do with the structure of the skin

    HA!  Just after leaving a comment the other day that my criteria for HIIT workouts are that they’re between 12-16 minutes in duration…I just had to accept this workout challenge. 
    Combining a few new exercises in one workout is challenging in itself. Being somewhat uncomfortable with what comes next can be equally important in one’s training. It keeps you sharp and on your toes.

    Warmed up with an hour of vigorous vacuuming and floor washing. 
    Did a few stretches and then went right into it.

    1. Sandbag Swing: 30-28
    2. Crossed Leg Burpee: 9-8 (used 8lb. medicine ball, push up from floor, jump up with ball)
    3. Turkish Get Up: 10-10 (8lb. medicine ball)
    4. Medicine Ball Crab: 37-50
    5. Foot Elev. Squat: Right 26-36 (Sandbag)
    6. Foot Elev. Squat: Left 29-32 (Sandbag)
    7. Jump Lunge & Knee Crunch: 16-14 (Medicine Ball)
    8. Medicine Ball Mountain Climbers: 110-114
    9. Sandbag Squat/ Lunge Combo: 9-8
    10. Medicine Ball Full Body Combo: 8-7

    Brought my heart rate down with 4 intervals of 100 skips (10 sec. Rest between intervals)
    5 Forward grip Pull Ups
    Full Body stretches.

    Thanks!

    Oh! And a Burpee for Erin. 

  • Anonymous

    It’s been a long time since I last posted here, but I have been working out consistently, doing older workouts and even creating my own. I don’t have the equipment so I improvised a little again. 

    Ugi = old backpack stuffed with towels (4 kg), I also used small yoga ball (rubber ball filled with sand – 4 kg) for some of the exercises to mix things up a little. It’s only 21 cm in diameter so you can’t do burpees or crabs on it but it was great for turkish jump ups and jump lunges. 

    Sandbag = 9 and 11 kg dumb bells that I put on my shoulders

    And here are my scores: 
    1. Dumb bell swing: 32, 30
    2. X-legged burpee: 7, 7
    3. Turkish jump up: 8, 9
    4. Backpack crab: 33, 30
    5. Foot elevated squat L: 15, 17 (it was really difficult so set myself up to the right position after crabs, lol)
    6. Foot elevated squat R: 19, 20
    7. Jump lunge – knee crunch: 10, 10 (hard, hard, hard, the yoga ball made me stagger a lot)
    8. Mountain climbers: 85, 64 (I’m not sure if it wasn’t 74, but since I don’t know if I miscounted them or not, I “punish” myself with lower score :))
    9. Dumb bell squat/lunge combo: 5, 5
    10. Backpack full body combo: 7, 9

    Then I did 16 minutes of interval rope skipping (30/10 s) = 1611 skips

    Phew, I’m wiped out and feel kinda lazy to do the stretching but I will do it now. :)

    This one kicked my arse lol!  I used a 24lb dufflebag and an 8lb dumbbell for the exercises because I still don’t have a sandbag or Ugi ball, I know… I’ve been following for almost 2 years now :(  It’s fun to be creative tho.  My results are ok, I just am not as fast and I like to feel the burn you know?  Quality versus quantity… hm… Next time I’ll try it with bodyweight only.  Here goes! ;)

    wwwooow, you look so great! You seem to have so much more definition in our arms and ribcage. You look sooo amazingly toned right now in that vid. You actually always do but, and that makes you human, you also have some – yet minimal – fluctuatons. Vacation time did not get you out of shape at all – I believe you have gotten even more defined during August! Awesome. You are my hero in so many ways and I wish I could prove this strength in willpower and dedication to myself, too.

    I used to train for triathlons and exercise upwards of 2 hours everyday but after 2 months of over exercising and under eating (as well as losing a lot of weight and developing a pseudo eating disorder) I burnt out. I’ve gained back a lot of fat over 4 months of not training to that intensity (only a few weight sessions every week) and I’m looking for a routine I can get the same results without doing that amount of exercise and not feeding myself properly. 
    I’ve watched your site for over a year now but I’m finally ready to start your workouts on a daily basis and see if I can get back down to a low fat % as well as be much more happier and healthier.

    Phew, I’m wiped! I loved the new exercises, I hope to master them soon, because I was struggeling a little, esp. with the Foot Elevates Squat and the last two: TheSandbag- and Ugi Full Body Combo. 
    Ps; damn those Jump Lunges.. they are my arch enemy. ^^

    Sandbag swing (8 kilo of dumbells in a laptop-bag) : 29, 23

    Turkish jump up (4 kilo dumbell) : 10, 9

     I think you did damn good for a beginner!
    Welcome to the Bodyrocking community!

  • tee

    hi charlene, don’t get discouraged!  not everyone has wonderful results yet, some of us still need to tweek our diets!  I feel wonderful, more powerful, stronger, better stamina, even skinnier, then I look in the mirror and wonder what the heck!  I’ve lost very little weight, and it is my diet!  I just cannot eat carbs, so for now I am eating almost none, just what is in mostly vegetables and a little bit if berries, grapes and maybe an apple with peanut butter once in a while.  maybe you need to cut your servings a little on your carbs, cut a little in the amount of fruit, up your protein a little more, make sure you are eating enough calories.  the day of cheat might have to be cut down or cut out.  I think it just doesn’t work for some of us.  though I find that if I don’t eat the grains or too much fruit then I’m not craving!  I don’t know if this will help you or not, but it can’t hurt!  you never know!
    keep on bodyrocking!

  • tee

    hey valerie! your scores were great!  you beat me in some of them!  I agree with the 10 sec rest, sometimes its too short!  sometimes my reps are low just because I can’t get up off the floor fast enough! lol, I can’t get my breath, write my score, and get in the next position in just 10 sec! lol

  • tee

    are you maybe over training?  you could try 3 days then rest day, then 3 days then another rest day, or even two days, rest, then 2 days, rest. 

     Is there more stress in your life lately? maybe you might want to throw in some yoga to relax?

    are you sleeping well?

    maybe diet needs tweeking, more protein, a little more calories, or maybe you’ve changed what you eat before your workout, maybe you need more water?

    just some suggestions!  good luck!

    ohhhh! this one was soooo hard!
    i loved it :D
    i had to make two adjustments: i didn’t have a mat, and the floors are wood, so i just did regular prisoner get-ups and tried not to bruise my back too badly :P. also, i was using a medicine ball (8lb) instead of the ugi, so i didn’t use it with my hands behind my back for the crab kick-up; instead, i added the jump.

    and still, you really, really kicked my butt. :D

    I dunno about dryness, but FISH OIL has helped a lot with my acne-prone skin.

    • Vala

      Thank you – how can I tell if it’s a quality product? I feel really insecure about this. Will flax do the same for me (omega-3s)?

      • Anonymous

        Hi Vala,

        I’m not a leading authority, but I would go for Wild Salmon. Quality-wise, best thing to do is ask a qualified person at at health food store (or a few to get a consensus). Or better yet, an experienced dermatologist.

        You’ll want to make sure to get Omega-3 and not too much Omega-6, since the 6 can worsen acne. Flax seed oil might not have the right balance of 3s and 6s.

        See more info here: http://www.anti-aging-source.com/best-source-of-omega-3.html

        Chia seeds (or Salba, as Zuzanna refers to it) might do the trick too. I take this in addition to fish oil. Just make sure to get the “sprouted” or “ground” kind so your body can actually absorb it.

        See the Chia comparison picture I’ve attached below, then do some more research. And remember that you might need to experiment to find out what works best for you.

        Good luck on Gulliver’s travels!
        :)

          hey Leverlock_25 :) i have whole organic chia seeds, but i soak them for about 15 minutes so they have the gel before i eat them.  do u think this is as good as the sprouted kind? or how long should u soak them to get all the nutrients.   even like i am doing tho, i get tons of energy from them.

          • Anonymous

            Hiya Beckssss,

            Hmm, never considered soaking them! Not sure if it’s better/worse than getting the “sprouted” kind.

            We’re all just tryna get to that delicious, Omega-y inside! So I followed the health food salesperson’s advice.

            Your abs look like you’re doing the right thing. ;)

          • Jaraguadom

            True leverlock!:)

          • Anna

            beckssss – a lot of seeds and grains need to be sprouted in order to get phytase enzymes to work on the phytic acid contained in a lot of them.  (phytic acid binds nutrients in your gut so that you can’t absorb them, so you want to get rid of it!)  i’m not sure if chia seeds fall under this category but i would suspect they do.  try checking out marksdailyapple.com for more info on this; it’s something i’m only just starting to pay attention to!

        • Vala

           Thank you :)

  • Hal

     Okay just did the workout.  Liked it a lot.  Great variety and kept my mind focused and so not thinking about the panting quite so much.

    BUT, for the first time ever, I couldn’t do one of your exercises.  I think I’m not flexible enough to get my feet beside my butt for the turkish jump up.  Any one else have this problem (guys I’m thinking).

    Yikes! I’m just about to do this workout and I wanted to run through some of the exercises just so I have the form right before I start my timer and the Turkish Jump Up is intense! I’m not a beginner and I can’t manage to get myself up on my feet for the jump up without the use of a hand. So I give mad props to anyone that can do this unassisted.

    great work!  Stiffness goes away faster if you keep moving, but a light stretching workout might be better if you are really sore.  when starting out it’s OK to take a day off to let your body heal!

  • http://www.facebook.com/ildiko.mazar Ildikó Sünci Mázár

    During these last days before I’m getting married I barely find time to work out, never mind share my scores. I did this yesterday (I HAD to find the time, I was so BR deprived by now), but haven’t had time to log my results. …well, I have to admit, I haven’t even had time to warm up or stretch or do Erin’s burpees either, I had 40 minutes to do the workout, take a shower, get dressed, pack, do the dishes, feed the cat and dash off to the train station. Consequently my scores are not so brilliant, but at least I did the WO and there’s room for improvement. I really enjoyed the new exercises. So here I go:
    Sandbag swings: 30, 30
    Cross leg burpee: 8, 9
    Turkish get up (with 5kg – I couldn’t do the jumping version): 8, 8
    UGI crab: 42, 43
    Foot elevated Squat (L): 17, 21 (this was so hard, my sleeping bag was more of a slipping bag under my foot)Foot elevated Squat (R): 18, 23
    Jump lunge & knee crunch (5kg): 12, 13
    UGI climbers: 111, 115
    Sandbag squat/lunge combo: 7, 8
    UGI full body combo (remembered wrong, so I got down into the plank after every knee raise): 10, 11

        • Donna chiotis

          Wow 15kg sandbag very impressive:)

  • Donna chiotis

    Here are some of the things that went wrong during this workout for me this morning. I smacked my 2kg medicine ball into my head while doing the jump lunges, I ripped my ipod ear connectors out with the sandbag twice during the sandbag squat/lunge combo, I stopped twice during both mountain climber sets because I thought I had missed the timer and the Turkish jump up made me think of Maria in Turkey…

    I am so proud I didn’t stop even though I was so frustrated and tired. We all have a choice and I chose to keep going to the very end…

    • Vivi

      Never give up !! Nevertheless you had of what to irritate you !hahaha

    • tee

      I once smacked my head with one of my dumbbells.  It didn’t knock me out so I kept going!

      • Donna chiotis

        Ouch !!! How many kilos? I liked the fact you kept going, talk about dedication…lol

    guys im so proud right now:) I completed my first bodyrock workout in almost 2 months w/o modifications!!! I fractured my foot in two places at the end of june, and could do absolutely no working out on my feet!! I improvised like crazy, i did tons of pilates and ab work and towards the end i started using the recumberant bike and then real bike to regain my lungs and heart <3 so happy now

    for the past two or so weeks my bones were "healed" but my foot was extremely atrophied and lost like all of its muscles.  Ive been slowly building it back up, first i started jumping on a trampoline, burpees with step backs and calf raises instead of jumps.  But today, i did my first burpee in 8 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dedicate it to Erin, even tho i could never imagine what she is going thru, i know what its like to not be able to bodyrock and how good she is going to feel when she does her first burpee.

    here are my scores (i took it kind of easy, but no modifications)
    swings (15lb dumbell) 28,22
    crossleg burpees- 6,5
    turkish jump up w/ 15lbs- 4,5
    ugi crab- 20, 22
    sidesquat l(15lbs)- 13,14
    sidesquat R-14,14
    jumplunge and knee crunch- 8,8
    mt climber- 70,50
    squat/lunge (15lb) 5,5
    ugi fullbody- 5,5

      a trampoline?  now that sounds like fun!  congrats on getting back.

  • ulla

    Yes, you can. :-) It’s not as if they were gradually getting harder – they are ALL incredibly hard. You’d do better to pick any workout and just break it down to what you think you CAN do. For example, take today’s workout and do it as a mere bodyweight workout without all the extra challenges and the equipment. Adjust the intervals to 15/45 sec per round, or 20/30 sec or whatever you feel comfortable with, and go through the sequence just once. It’s actually quite easy to adapt these workouts to any given fitness level (I’m not that much of a pro, myself), and the Intervall Training has the big advantage that – if you cannot do more than 8 mountain climbers but pushed really hard – you’ve done quite a lot, anyway. The concept of Intervall Training itself helps adjusting to your fitness level.
    Just don’t allow yourself to stop halfway through, tke care to warm up before you work out, cool down and stretch afterwards. Zuzana has routines on the site, just check them out and take it from there.
    I hoped that helped a little.
    And welcome aboard, and happy training. May the force be with you :-)

  • Maria Sweden

    Hi freddy!  could you change your statement when you are maintaining the site to say it’s under maintenance or unable to post at this time.  I keep having a heart attack everytime  I see that statement -  this site has blocked you from posting!  lol

    I just made it through this workout! I’m a fairly new bodyrocker and with all the great modifications I’m able to do all the exercises. I’m exhausted but feel great!!

    PLEASE HELP howwww do you do the turkish jump ups without hands?! I can’t! LOL

    • Cindy

      I can’t do it either.For that reason, I just did regular Turkish get up with my 8 pounds DB. I think I do not have enough leg strength to get up.

    • Donna chiotis

      You have to push up with force and really use your leg muscles to get you up. I found the first few difficult !! Very tiring exercise getting up and then the jump up finishes your legs off…

    Zuzana, what weight did your sandbag have in this workout? I like trying to beat you, but I need to know your weights, otherwise I might use a much lighter weight and then beating you can’t be taken seriously ;)
    My Ugi was 3kg (6.6lbs) and my bag was 11kg (24.25lbs).

  • Annie_B

  • fireflies

    Good suggestions.  Thanks!

  • BodyRocker_Bonnie

    I somewhat hesitantly made a decision to try this one again today, and realizing it was just Brutus trying to talk me out of it I kicked him (as suggested) and really focused and beat all my reps by at least a few on each exercise from doing this the first time.  What I’ve started to do recently is when I make a workout chart to record my reps I will write my old scores in parenthesis for each exercise & round before I begin so that I can be motivated to beat my last scores and that is really working for me.  I can be just dying, but when I realize I’ve improved by even one rep its such a boost! After taking a short break I followed it up with a 10 minute “Ab Smasher” challenge I made up:  a circuit of 20 hanging knee raises, 10 knee hug crunches, and 5 ball passes (passing ugi from hands to feet and back = 1rep).  I only got through three rounds but it was fun. 

    Have a great Friday BodyRockers! :)

  • Vala

     Thank you Danka,
    I eat avocados, coconut, butter from grasfed cows (there is more omega 3 in it), walnuts, no sugar at all, wholefoods and never skip egg yolks. Maybe my fat ratio is just not the best and I still need more good fats and less dairy fat. But sleep is an issue for me as well :p
    I will have a closer look on my diet again, thanks!

  • Anonymous

    I loved this workout, mainly because now I can do proper push ups haha. Might not seem like much but I was ecstatic last week to find out that I went from not being able to even do one to being able to do 10 in a row! So I could do a few of the crossed leg burpees without modification.

  • Lisa

    Second try  on this today, i did more reps that last time BUT i changed the intervals, i gotta say i enjoyed it like this ALOT more! that doesnt mean it wasnt intense, it was! I changed some exercises to just bodyweight exercises. 

    I did 2 exercises back and forward for 4 rounds 50/10. like this:

    1# 
    Monkey business push up + half squat: 15-13
    Crossed legged burpee(no ball): 9-9

    this workout is so &^%ing rough!  I love it!
    35 lb sandbag, 10lb ugi.  My boyfriend did this with me, so we staggered it by starting one ahead of the other by 2 intervals.  For the crab we did away with the ball altogether, and for teh elevated squats I used a pile of books.  He used the outside steps.  Oh–and for the mountain climbers I used a partially deflated soccer ball.

    Wow, went to do this workout tonight and my scores were coming along so badly…working out in the evening is almost always the pits for me.  Then my knee started to give way on the 2nd round with the jump lunges and so I quit right there.  But I carried on with my 100 Push Ups and Ab-Extras:

    Push Ups:
    20 Reptile
    20 Feet elevated on chair
    20 8lb rows to shoulder
    20 Reverse on Dip Station
    20 Elevated on Dip Station

    Ab Extras:
    5 sets of  10 dip station ab splits & (on floor) 10 alternating toe touches.

    Will be careful the next few days with my knee!

      Please be careful Bonnie, just went to this WO and I can see why your knees are soar….lots of side knee bending and the turkish get ups, lots of side torque stress….I just want to say that I don’t think it’s a good idea to do any squatting with your legs bent beyond 90 degrees. I know Zuzanna always does, I just don’t agree. It places too much stress on the joint, especially if you are doing weighted work. Don’t want to cause waves, just how I’ve always been taught to weight train. Great job on the push ups…..haven’t decided what I’m going to do in the am….maybe Isidora’s modified damn sexy body WO…will post..take care

        Thanks Gerri Lee – - I think my knees were feeling a little weak because I did Give Me a Reason again on Thursday, and really gave it my all on all of those jump lunges. Had I been thinking, I would have stayed away from any of those today! Not sure what I will do tomorrow yet either. That’s always a bit dangerous, figuring it out over coffee. It’s better to have a plan in place for the morning…guess I have talked myself into going to figure it out now!

      ps….if I waited to work out until the evening, it would never happen…gotta be first thing in the morning for me….before I wake up and realize what I’m doing to myself….LOL

        I know…every evening workout I have is horrible. My energy is so different. I was like a wet noodle trying to do this workout this evening, I was like WHO ARE YOU?! I’ll be back at it in the morning and will be much happier.
