Nice work Jess! Also, I love your earrings, ha!

I miss seeing Zuzana doing these workouts! Any chance she will ever do these again?

Freddy, 
  Just a thought here.  It would be nice to see the first rep of all exercises shot in a full body steady shot. I would like to see Jess’ form but in this video its not possible.  I do appreciate the artistic touch but I feel its equally important to see the proper form as well. Thank you for all you do.

Yup, I ask for the same thing. Couldn´t see porperly how the exercise goes.

Are you serious Jess?   11min?  Holy cow!  I liked when you said when you get to 80 or 90 your leg is burning!  Ha Ha! Mine will be burning after about 5!  lol

That was a great job Jess!  Though it was so short we hardly got to see you!  & you were so fast it was blurry! ha!  cute nail polish too!

11 mins 26 sec. MUCH harder than I thought it would be.
My thighs feel like they’re about to leap through my skin and off my legs!

Oh, and I agree on the wide angle shots. Gotsta see it in motion w/ proper form.

It’s funny, in all the things I can modify my workout for, a chair is not one I can easily do, all our chairs are breaking or rocking!  ha ha!  Oh well, did a workout today already and I really hate step ups anyway!

I have a new name and am replying to myself!  This is a little weird!

did this one for the first time 15 days into bodyrocking…will do it in the morning….I went back and checked the old posting for this workout…there is no video…read the descriptions to get the correct form

Sooooo… Are you guys launching the profiles???

Oh, My God. Has Jess’s body changed significantly or is it just me?! Bodyrockin’ hosting is getting her TAUT :)

This looks awesome!  I can’t wait to try it tmrw, it’ll be my first time.  I think this is the one you guys filmed the weekend I met ya’s.  I can’t wait to give ‘er a go!
Jess….how on earth do you wear makeup when you workout???  I’d feel like my face was melting off!!  LOL….
As an Aesthetician I can tell ya that you should be working out with NO makeup on and wash your face immediately after workouts too!  Good little skin tip, BodyRockers!  ;)
PS- that is one sexy w.o pic!! Ay yay yay!

tomorrow I’m doing the “18 minute S & M workout”  from may 2/10  anyone want to join me?  there are no rest intervals in it!

Haha :) what a short vid ! I liked it :)

& Zuzana SO shredded… O.O My eyes just can’t catch ittt !!!

which one is that tee?

Back in February my score was 23.05min , today was 16.10,I went down below my knees every rep today, so I’ll count that as an awsome improvement. BURN BABY BURN!

Hi Rockers,  I first did this workout when I was quite new to body rocking at the beginning of this year; so I am curious about beating my score.  Will do it in the morning (Australian time).  Looking forward to Sumo action!  Thanks, Annalise

yay Tee!

11.20? 11.20!? eleven.twenty!!? PAM!

Yesterday I almost wanted to ask you guys where Jess went, but I was afraid it might sound criticizing, and I feel like a lot of people are criticizing too much about the changes lately.
So yeah.. hi Jess :)
and what a motivation :o thank you for that

xoxo

Just did it, Last time on Feb took me 20.50 Min and today 16.32. 
Its such a wonderful feeling beating my PB.

Have a wonderful day all.

That was very short… challenge time AND video ! You’re so tiny Jess, why did you start bodyrocking, it can’t be because of your weight !? Trying to build more muscle, to feel stronger, more confident, … ?

Hey!!! I am so excited. I am getting my interval timer and dipstation for Christmas!!!! Finally!! Yay me!!! woo hoo! I can’t wait to use them :D

Any one who thinks this one is easy hasn’t tried it yet….LOL
I did this one back on Feb 18, but broke it into 4 sets of 50, so giving my legs a break…I was only 15 days into BR, did it in 18:27.
Today I did the full sets of 100 per leg, much deeper squat….took me 17:19…don’t know how you guys and gals are doing it so damn fast…oh well.
For some reason this one also made my lower back ache?  Anyone else get that?

Finished with 100 dip station knee raises in 3:41

Great Challenge!  Started out with a warmup of 200 skipping rope
jumped on the challenge and completed 200 sumo sq step up in 14:46
also completed 10 healing Burpees
                          25 pike push ups
                          25 Dive bompers
                          10 (each leg) single leg squats

                           30 elevated bridges

                           30 leg raises
                         300 skipping rope

I am Beat!!  Thanks Guys for this motivating Challenge!  =)

Hah replying to yourself, I like it!

My chair situation is this: I’m in a basement apt. So while I can jump and lunge and huff and puff as much as I want, I can’t stand up straight on a chair. So my head was ducked while I did the knee ups.

Sandbag lifts are also a challenge in this regard. But I make do.

is jess trying to be sexy now?

now it is raining sweat!

Yep! me too!

Hey guys… :(
Im afraid I’ve lost my common sense. I hate myself. I just don’t know what or when to eat ! That freaks me out :::(((

PLEASE someone post your diet plans ?? zuzka ??? fred ?? sean ?? kyla ? jes ??? …someone pleeease :((( I always have to stop my WO b/c I don’t have enough energy for it.. & I also feel SO D*MN TIIIRED ::{{{ Why is that ?!!

here R some facts on my diet that won’t change: (some R due to my parents limitations)
I would prefer eating eggs (probably 1) for BF, chicken for lunch & fish for dinner (after my WO)
I can’t eat more than 2 whole eggs per day
I can’t eat ANY kind/type of legumes !!!
I can only eat up to 2 portions of chicken/fish per day. no more than that. (total of 200g MAX)
I try to stay away from any type of bread but I do eat oats, quinoa & starches (=potato,sweet potato etc)
I can ONLY train at the evening (5-7pm)
I can consume no more than 2 scoops of whey (protein-powder) per day
I haven’t been using zuzka’s recipes as I don’t know what PORTION I should consume or WHEN.
I don’t think I would eat more than 2-3 fruits per day (I don’t feel very good eating a lot)
… I think that’s it overall :( I might edit/update it if needed.

PLEASE someone help me to build/fix my diet !!! Im confused to death… :::::((( (I feel something like that)

thanks for any comment…

BR Beth

Is all that make-up really necessary??  I’ve been a fan of body rock for a long time, but I’m sorry to say that I had to “unlike” you on Facebook.  Skinny women with make-up and jewelry are not my kind of motivation.  Sorry to be so forward, but it’s just a personal preference.  

I’m sure I just beat the recent “high score” of 11:20 just finished in 10:37. No cheats, no breaks (except after the first 100, were all human right?) 
 after I wipe the sweat off the ground I’m doing bonus round and a 20 min. skip (or until my legs give out) 

Legs are certainly burning, and 11:20 is certainly impossible to beat. I did beat my February time though (from 14:47 to 13:25). One mental note to self: next time I should do this ExCh on carpet, where neither my nor the chair’s feet and legs are sliding all over the flippin’ place.
Now off to mop up the pool and do a coupla SB sit ups.

why so much rules?
relax girl, i think that maybe you have some problem with food, look for some help

too skinny Jess :), maybe you can gain some weight :), and I like your make-up

Hi Beth, it shouldn’t be that complicated, just go back to the basics.  Try Tosca Reno’s “Eat Clean Diet” book.  It’s very simple advice and has helped me keep the weight off.  What works for Zuzana or anybody else may or may not work for you.  Good luck!

I m so  agree with you! I think too mch of critics and no results about workouts, thats for sure… I didnt agree alot about skinnines or make up of Jess… guys let her reach her goals while u reaching yr own! smbd like skinny smbd like thick .. but in the end we r all aiming for healthy and fit body!!!! come on! give girl a break she is awsome! Go JESS!!! great work gona do this work out tomorrow and hope not to fall from the chair:D

I think last time my PB for this was 14:56.  I’m gonna try to beat my PB since it is more attainable.  This time I’m gonna try to go deep and focus on the sumo squat form because last time I remember rushing through just to compete with other Bodyrocker’s and remember it getting really sloppy on the step down part.  Sometimes I just gotta remember that it’s not a race and that way I’ll benefit from the exercise.   Not quite sure how I’m gonna do with a head cold but I don’t want today to be a total waist since I wasn’t feeling well enough to workout yesterday.  Will be back later to post my time :)    

Hi Kat!  I like your bonus exercises :)  I think I may do the same after this challenge :) Thx!

That’s so complicated! It shouldn’t be so, listen to your body, eat when you are hungry what you want (unless your body tells you to eat sweets only :)), that’s almost all.

You’re so right.  Just from reading the previous comments now.  It’s not about how skinny she is or what she may have on her face.  It’s about how hard she’s working and how motivating she is in the videos.  Lets see how many  others can do this workout in 11 mins.

To each their own….I can open up a Self or Fitness magazine and any old skinny girl can be inserted.  But a woman with muscles makes you say wow…..she’s really dedicated.  It has nothing to do with being “naturally skinny” it’s about dedication and inspiration that women with muscles provide.  

Thank you Laura! My point exactly!

Why be ordinary when you can be extraordinary?!

I think the motivational part of every workoutvideo here -whether zuzka, sean, jess or kyla did them- should be the effort and intensity they put in their workout.
It’s not about looking at a sexy body. I think the fact that they’re all looking gorgeous (at least in my opinion) should just add on the fact that these workouts are actually working.
Isn’t it all about the drive and passion? And less about one’s apearance?

Surprisingly, I have a new PB of 12:53.  I made sure to go deep too.  Took no breaks this time and felt the Burn Burn Buuuuurn!  Guess my head cold wasn’t that bad after all :) 

On another note, let’s be more supportive and less critical because we are here to Bodyrock baby!

Working out barefoot can strengthen ankles, improve arches, and help with balance and stability, particularly on smooth floors. It’s a principle of CrossFit but they didn’t invent the idea. Of course going barefoot is a personal preference; If you feel better in shoes, wear ‘em! Personally I do everything but jump rope barefoot. I tried that and ended up with welts on my toes.

Freddy, Sean, Zuzka or one of the other ladies should write an entry on the benefits of barefoot exercise. There are plenty of them!

thanks Audra <3 your time on this. Great job =)

I did it this morning in 14:05.  Jess, I managed to match your 6 minute split, but how did you actually go FASTER during the second 100????  You are awesome!!!

I know why you had no shoes on.  By the end of this my shoes felt like they weighed 10 pounds each!  Also, the leg warmers reminded me of the “20 minute workout” shows from the ’80s.  how did i get so old?!?!?

i don’t think this is being herself considering how she looked in previous videos. and that s the way i liked her. you don’t need to agree with me and i don’t need to agree with you. 

what a great burn :) thanks guys :)
this challenge took me exactly 13 min. :)  wohoo! *haha*

+ Burpee for Erin <3

much love to all bodyrockers out there :)

:D yeah me too. but I always have to smile a little bit cause I imagine freddy being really engrossed in the workout lol

if you type “18 minute S&M workout” into the search bar it should come up, sorry I don’t know how to post the page here! lol going to do it now!

No chance of me ever beating that amazing score.
I did 75 on each leg, so only 150 with a time of 13:47.  Need some stamina I guess! :P

Jess, so good seeing you again, you look happy and glowing :) Beautiful as always. I am really disappointed that so many of my fellow Bodyrockers have such a negative approach to this post. Why on earth can’t you just embrace that Jess, such a lovely you women, has chosen to boost her look and feminine side a little? Zuz has done that so many times, by showing us her new make-up and jewelery. Jess shouldn’t be doomed like that, just because she isn’t her. Negativity is not taking you anywhere good, folks. You look lovely, smily and determined, Jess! Gonna try this one tomorrow morning.
Love, Maria 

I agree with you.
Couldn’t beat you Jess, my legs are so sore from yesterday , hopefully that is a reason my scores sucked lol

zuzana, come back!

Hi Tee,

And others who were looking for the tee-shirts etc (just in time of the holidays) check here: http://bodyrocktv.spreadshirt.com/

I thought that too! but Jess looks pretty light so maybe it’s OK. 

Hey I was wondering, those christmas workouts, did you do them one right after the other?  I noticed in the one that you were already soaked in your first round!  Looks like you enjoy torturing yourelf!  ha ha!

Hi guys!  did 18 minute S&M workout today!  thought I wasn’t going to make all three rounds but I did.  It has high cardio moves all in a row in the middle of each round,which makes it a little tough, with no rest interval! I enjoyed it (once it was over!)

and of course burpee for erin!

This was like the same as part of the metabolic inferno workout i just did… not going to do it two nights in a row.  Where is the community section?

yes I saw!  I wondered what happened, did people object to them selling their designs they submitted? because a few of the designs are gone and now others are there.  I didn’t see my two favourites any more.  I didn’t have much time to look, maybe I just haven’t seen them yet!

tomorrow I’m doing “sexy monkey is back with a new workout”  looks like a little torture with a bunch of skipping!  Cardio will probably kill me!  lol

Time” 18:56  By rep 70 on my first leg, I was feeling the BUUUUURRRRNNNN…by rep 30 on my second leg…I realized why this is called a Challenge.  

Hi Tee,

You’re probably right about the problem being disputes over rights. Some of the other designs used Freddy’s images and I would think there are copyright problems there as well.

–Chris
PS it would be nice to know who won even if their shirt design isn’t in the shop.

Hi Banksy, 

Sure you don’t mean Lassie? :-)

 Zuzka is here, just doing what she wants to do.  Be happy for her and support her.  Diet is just as important as the workout especially for that last 10 pounds or so, trust me! :-)

–Chris

I was only able to do a 150 reps in 16 minutes….hoping to try to do it again next week sometime. Thanks for the awesome videos that you produce, they motivate me to workout at home and in the gym. You guys rock! 

I have to say that no one is saying anything about Jess in those posts… they are saying they are having a hard time viewing the video because of camera work. I also think it is fine for people to miss Zuzka cause she has been the face of bodyrock.tv all this time and she is who started it, with Freddy. … wow I thought they weren’t but the lower I got in comments there are people being very rude. It reminds me of when someone had the nerve to say that Zuzka was looking pregnant…. Very bad form!
Just because you miss Zuzka doesn’t mean you should treat Jess badly. Things have worked out how they have and we can’t change them. Be nice

Hi there,

so on sunday I went hiking,and I had a accident, I hurt both of my knees, my ligaments gave up on me, after 6 hours of great hiking, I was so proud of myself and my shape and in my head I was like, thank you bodyrock.tv, and then out of the blue…my knees just collapsed..
now I am in therapy, I will start swimming next week…
I was so close to go into that next level, I was consistent, I pushed myself hard, I didn’t skip my workouts, I was motivated , I felt strong and good etc. and now I have to rest,lay down the whole day, I am coming to bodyrock page many time in a day, just to keep my motivation…
I don’t know how long will it take me to come back to bodyrocking but at least 2-3 weeks…
I am so sad and frighten…I had a plan for the end of the year, I had a goal to see my six pack on new years eve and now I have a plan to get up…
I know that injuries are part of working out but….shit!!!! so I said it!!! sorry

kisses to you all

I am like stunned that it was done so fast… I was doing it fast and it took me 2 mins to complete 31… so I have to say wow!

Awe I hope you get well really soon!! I know just how you feel. I started to feel less pain the more in shape i got, my knees stopped hurting so much and my back… then I hurt my shoulder and it was very difficult, going backwards in my working out. I could only do lower body, it is very discouraging. :D Best wishes on your recovery… honestly watching the day to day ones passing only upset me more I would write them down hoping to do them later and catch up. haha but that backfired… cause it made me soo overwhelmed with it all it sabotaged all my efforts. :D Just take it slow and you will do fabulous! Try not to write them all down either lol.

23.49.  However, proud I did it:)

ease up folks! some people will like Zuzana’s style most, some others Jess, Kyla, or Sean. There is nothing wrong with that. It is human nature. Some people are up for change easier than others. we should stop arguing over who’s better or more motivational. i admit i also did that mistake before but now it is getting a bit too boring reading people blaming each other to like some hosts more than others. you can’t do anything about it. just stop complaining. and as i said before none of us can change each others mind. i ll not like Jess more/less than Zuzana just because you told me to do so or vice versa. :)
why not just go back to posting scores and trying to motivate each other as we did before instead of discussing which host is better or not.

This time I do this in 17:50, my last time was 21:37, a good improvement for me! Thanks to bodyrocking and Zuzana! These workouts designed by her are incredible for get in shape.

Jess I love your earrings! And you busting out those step ups of course ;)

You look great Jess…what a time!!

I opted for Earn Your Shower Workout today. http://www.bodyrock.tv/2010/02/12/earn-your-shower-workout/   Used my sandbag to take it up a notch…not sure it needed any taking up though. It’s a great workout as bodyweight only.

Keep up the great work…all of you behind the scenes.

Hello!
O.K. I tried hard to beat Jess, but I have to admit that she is stronger! Haha! When I hit the 11 min,  I had 50 more reps to go! :) But I didn’t give up, and made it to the 200!!! I took me 15:45 min. And I’m sooooo proud! :))))) It’s amazing how such a simple exercise can give you such a challenge!

I think I know what triggered mine….LOL, just think what you did the day before….I moved an empty full sized oak wine barrel up to the second floor at work on a dolly….I was on the high side, so lower back strain..it didn’t hurt until after the WO though…did you do anything the previous day?

1lvana, I’m so sorry to hear about your accident.  I know you feel devastated.  You will be Ok again though, just give yourself time to heal.  Maybe you can still work on that 6-pack  with just isolated exercises of different sorts.  Lay down and sit up a bit, and hold….I know that would make me feel a bit better.  Hang in there, you are not forgotten.  Burpees coming your way from lots of us, I’m sure of it :)

Well I thought I was going really fast but I guess not… 14:39

If this is constructive criticism please help me out by being more specific as to how I can improve my form. Thank you!

Great work Brycearsenault! Welcome to Bodyrock! :)

To get in the best shape of my life! 

Haiiiii!

I like me natural too! :) There was a reason at the time lol

Welcome Brianna! AMAZING!!!!

You da bomb!

yes me too

…As if we didn’t know: http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/holiday-weight-loss

(btw: I like the picture pretty much)

Thank you girls!!!! It means a lot!!!

so sorry to hear of your injury! I hope you are better reall soon!

way to go!

ha ha ha!  how did I get so old!  one day at a time!
I think Jess did left leg first so probably stronger right leg last! 
for some reason the leg warmers reminded me of my mom’s old jane fonda exercise video!   sorry jess!  lol

besides this, I thought Jess looked cute in her outfit,  jeez I can’t believe some of these people!  zuzana puts earrings on and everyone wants them, everyone wants whatever outfit she wears, and comments on her great makeup, but jess does a little of that and people are hatin’

jess I love ya!  no matter what!  you could put a sloppy tee on and some baggy sweats, and  would still think you’re great!  but then we wouldn’t see those awesome abs you got!

check out this skinny girl and see if she inspires you!  everyone starts somewhere!  maybe you should give jess a break! http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-Perform-Poolates-Exercise-34876788 
I love zuzana! love jess! love sean! love kyla!  they are all willing to step in front of the camera!

wow!  good score!

wow!  good score!

Hi guys.. did the second part yesterday evening.. In 8.30 minutes.. so faster than the first part. Good one.. :D

I didn’t see anything in their comments that was disrespectful. Just asking a question.

Videography: Please show at least one, preferably two reps from start to finish of each movement and the transition from one to another if there is no rest between them. With so much cut out, it leaves us to guess if we are doing the exercises as intended.

Regards,
Lara

I don’t understand your respond to my post, at all? I am just pointing out that there is no reason to critizise Jess’ look in this video, because no one gets anything positive out of that. I am being nice?  

10:35, with very sore thighs, Ugh!

Wow. Poor Jess . She is really getting beat up. Not just this comments section but every workout she does. She is obviously very strong – she beat Zuka’s time significantly! Saying she doesn’t motivate b/c she looks skinny is crazy. She can’t help her body type, she works hard to get strong just b/c she isn’t as cut as Zuka is no reason to put her down. After all this abuse and she still comes back smiling. She is strong inside and out. It’s easy to criticize anonymously on the web and we don’t realize how these things hurt. I bet you would not say these things to her face would you.

FYI: Zuka wore make up too!

i have to say… i really like jess :P

i have to say… i really like jess :P

I did it in 19:27
at first I was surprised that it took me so long, but than again – I did squats ALL the way down and knee up high to cheast every rep, so I’m kind of proud on my result… next time I’ll be faster…
I love challenges – bring them on :))

common, you just must scroll the archives of workouts, I bet you didn’t do ALL Zuzanas workouts, or there is for sure one or two older ones you could do again…
keep bodyrocking, this site isn’t only about Zuzana (even if its clear that we miss her all)

100 each side. but if you are beginner you could split it up to for example 25 each and than 4 rounds…

I’m so mortified- it took me like 27 minutes to do this.  Normally I have comparable times and I wasn’t feeling under the weather- I guess my legs are just vastly inferior to my upper body- which I never in a million years would have guessed!  I am so embarrassed.

and camara angle aside- because well… it is a little rough- seeing it all the way through a few times is very helpful- Jess looks smoking hot.  I dance- and I completely adore the legwarmers/shorts look.  wow- keep it up jess- you murdered this work out!

My timer was going until I finished the workout if that’s what you mean…

21 min – I totally charged by energy! Jess is good and I don`t understand why you picking her. I think that Zuzka wants us to share our experience and motivation with others, not to be obsessed with her person.

I just thought of it too… ! that’s absolutely right.

I just thought of it too… ! that’s absolutely right.

Wow Jess! You put the ROCK in bodyrock! Awesome time.

WoW thanks a lot I tooked a look at amazon & it looks very informative !

Just to clear things out: Im NOT OVERweight or something but I just don’t see any progress & Im ALWAYS tired before my WO… no matter what I won’t finish it & I would be sad just b/c of it :((( I DONT know if I eat too many or too little carbs or if ther’e needed to be eaten anyway in my pre-wo meal !!! Im afraid ther’e making me sluggish & tired :((( My pre-wo meal is at 4pm but I don’t eat C at lunch (1pm). what is your favourite pre-wo meal ??? please share yours guys (except those who train on the mornings-on “empty stomach”)

thanks again… I should start reading something !

<3 BR Beth

Parents… :(

Im eating a lot of them, but I have many limitations especially on my protein intake.
they say Im getting fat :(

Hi guys… :S

I don’t wanna sound too strict/confused etc again… but I just HAVE to know the Answer for this Question.

I don’t know how many Carbs I should be eating in my pre-wo meals.I think that’s the main problem w/ my diet. that’s it… should I include carbs w/ every single meal ??? what about the pre-wo meal I eat at 4pm? what about lunch=1pm? & late night (9-10pm) post-wo “window” ???& Im talking complex, starchy, grainy.

I think we would really get some explanation about this here on the site. please share your opinios / approaches. thanks !!!

<3 BR Beth

I have no idea how anyone finishes this challenge in under 12 min.  I am completely in awe of those of you who have accomplished this feat!!  old time for me was 22min yesterday I did it in 17:26. 

wow…that is very impressive!! nice job

This was brutal but I thumbed my nose at Brutus at the end!  Even though I wanted to give up after 50, even though I wanted to give up after the first leg, I kept pushing and I am so proud of myself (and so sore today–good ow!).

Blechh at my time: 22:49

I’ll do better! Please don’t hit me!

Could be simply because some people workout to stay in shape and healthy and not necessarily to make it the center of their lives? Not everyone want to be crazy lean and muscle-y you know, and even if so, not everyone builds mucle tone the same way

YAY bodyweight! 

Took me 24 minutes.  24 minutes of pain…

I was first commenting saying that no one was critisizing Jess that it was all about camera work… I edited it cause I scrolled down and saw how rude people were being, which is why I added the bottom part… since it wouldn’t let me delete it :D!!

there was a workout called hands free. try doing that one. your leg muscles are the biggest muscles so they also burn the most calories and fat. you don’t have to quit totally, exploit the fact that you still have your legs to squat, jump kick, lunge etc. heal up fast!

yeah 11:42 min :)

Yo.  I got to think some before I reply that beautiful comment :)

thanks a lot… I think U’ve really understand me :) I think that after all those R those starchy carbs which I don’t know how much or how often to eat… (for example if I should includce a portion to my lunch/pre-wo meal at 4pm?) I know that I should get 300-400 cals per meal (?) so sometimes I wonder how would I get that from eating just veggeis & lean protein ? I kinda afraid of not “hitting” closley enough for those numbers… :(((

I just scribbled my scores while I was looking to see what the next exercise was, had trouble reading it later!  I did sexy monkey is back with a new workout today.  a mostly skipping workout, nice for a change!  I don’t have facebook, sorry!  but apparantly you can “follow” people here.

Did you guys get this week’s schedule?

I believe they said that Lori and Michelle (now I’m not sure that is right) the pure2raw twins won with the sweat hard t-shirt.It was written under the original t-shirt shop.

My time was 14:20. Am I the only one BodyRocking?

Have not seen it yet

13 minutes 14 seconds.  I remember the last time I did this I was dying after 100 and I was alternating legs every 20 reps!  Even though I didn’t write it down, I know that I blasted my last score… Now to beat this score!

I did not post my scores for long time now :/. But I´m still in! because “I love to be a  bodyrocker” :P

So today I did those 200rep step up combo in 11:29 min. 
Good night, folks!

Love, Carol  

hi guys! did “sexy monkey is back with a new workout” today, I ran out of time and only got two rounds in, but I was pretty gassed!  took me 14min 23sec!
tomorrow is ARD but if I have a short amount of time I might throw in “6 minute workout” as I still haven’t done that one!

Wow Jess, your time is amazing!  Way to go! I did this challenge for the first time today.  Not sure how I missed it last time around :)  Time was 18:50.  I keep thinking that people will start to get used to this change and all this negativity will subside but it’s not…   and frankly I’m getting tired of it.  I have stopped reading the comments and I’m just looking to post my scores.  Jess you looked great and really strong.  Keep up the good work!  I love bodyrock!  It’s fabulous and it’s free!!!!!! Much love to Jess, Sean, Kyla, Freddy and Zuzka!

Jess, you beast! And you look good in leg warmers:) 

So….. I came on here to post my score, and I started reading all these comments about how the video was shot and who’s in the video… it’s like.. it doesn’t matter WHO’s doing the workout! All that matters is that YOU do it!! Why are people complaining?? I did this workout in a little over 24 minutes.. I should be complaining about that! But I’m actually proud that I finished it haha my legs burned. You go Jess! These people are hatin’ cuz they’re jealous (: 
-Natalie 

Woah, you rock, Jess :DDDDDD
It honestly took me 21:14 to finish the challenge and my bum was/ is killing me anyway from yesterdays training so tomorrow I’m gonna be dead (and every single step will also remind me of the fact that I really finished all of the reps *YAY*)

I follow Mark Sisson’s approach to carbs. He’s a primal guy, but it’s the only thing that works for my body. I am lean even w/o working out – finally for first time in my life! I eat 150 g of carbs a day, and don’t think about when I eat them because my body’s blood sugar is regulated all day long and uses “fat reserve” for my workouts. I don’t eat more carbs before my workout, but rather make sure I’m getting enough fat throughout the day because that’s what your body should be burning for energy instead of starches/grains/sugar. I may eat a spoonful of nut butter and chug some water after a BR workout, and I recover well! I hope I’m not writing conflicting info on here, but after reading everything Zuzana posts about food, her carb/fruit/sugar intake is very low.

All your times are awesome, amazing job BODYROCKERS!!!  Jess and Freddy….wow, your times are astounding!!!  I must be in worse shape than I thought, I’m disappointed in my time as my goal was also between 11-12 minutes.  I will have to improve next time!  I’m wondering if this challenge is more difficult for people who are “vertically challenged”???  LOL.  Seems like we’re working twice as hard to step up/get up on that chair, just a thought….by no means an excuse. 

My time= 200 sets @ 16:09

Have a fantastic day BODYROCKERS!  
CHEERS!  :)

20:39, but only on my third day! Will get better.  I did not stop the first leg, but the second leg, I had to do 10 rep incremements from 40 and up.

Hi Bodyrockers,

Look I just have to say something here.  I miss Zuzka just as much as anyone, but I respect her and feel she is growing and bodyrocking in her own way.  I also like everyone who has so far hosted.  Jess is a sweetheart and is just as representative of us bodyrockers as Zuzka or anyone.

How does being rude support anyone?  It makes everyone else disrespect you and not want to bodyrock with you.  Be polite and think of others before your own selfishness and get over it!  You are NOT being the best person possible by saying rude nonsense! 

–Chris

this is my first workout after almost 10 days. my time is 18:03 (without stopping timer). i have to get back into shape again! 

Whoa Nelly! Super numbers! I settled for 20:09 which is 1:38 faster than last time, slowly, but surely.

Incredible, Gwyn way to go!  I’m curious about your workout board, I workout on carpet most of the time since that room is my “my space” I’ve carved out in our house for working out.  To workout on a hard floor I’d have to schlep equipment downstairs, which I have done before so that I can include skipping rope instead of just doing high knees.

I miss Zuzanna doing the workouts.  I am not against the others doing the workouts at all and I think its awesome you have new people doing the workouts.  However,  I miss Zuzanna.  Just tell her she is missed.  I really really want to build up to a great body like Zuzanna’s.  She is so dedicated and faithful to the workouts.  Freddie, did or does she do the workouts 6 days a week?  For someone like me who is trying to get into the grove, do you recommend 6 days a week, or less? Please let me know.  Thanks

Also, will doing too many squats and lunges give me a big butt?  That I don’t want….hehe

what? your parents don’t want you to eat protein because that make you fat?? protein doesn’t make you fat beth! (sorry for my english but I speak spanish)

Ha ha!  that’s one of the reason’s I don’t do step ups!  Looking at the picture of Zuzka, the chair is just below knee level and for me it’s higher than that!

Maybe you should paint yourself to look like a mime, next time.  Maybe they’ll like that!  ha ha!  Oh and maybe some really drapey earrings,  and a Santa hat, umm what else can I think of?  Oh I know some jingle bells on your toes so they can hear.  Oh and maybe one like a tail, so they can hear it hit the floor when you squat!  You’ll never please them
love ya Jess, you’re so brave, and don’t let them get you down!

this was a reply to Jessica Lynn

Did this yesterday. Time 18:21. :) 

GOOD ONE!!!

18:08.  Really cool challenge.  Followed with 10 sets of 5 1-leg Push-Ups & 5 1-leg alternating V-Up crunches  (50 each). 

Gwyn, I’m even more impressed now that I did this myself this morning with just bodyweight (18:08)!

What happened to Zuzana?

no disrespect intended here…i think jess had done a fab job, i was just expressing how i also miss seeing/hearing zuz carry me through a workout…and yes i know…i can and have done the older routines.

Very happy with this workout, the leg burn was CRAZY!!!  I completed this workout in 18 minutes and 13 seconds.  Super happy with my time.  How did everyone else do?

Kelly…decaf darling.  We just need to see what Jess is doing more clearly.  There was too much camera movement, and cutting in this one. Plus, Jess is hot I don’t want to miss anything. ;)  Thankfully Zuzana breaks it down in still pics.

Completed this today in 16:12. I was underestimating the burn and pump I’d be feeling on this one. Really woke me up this am. Great time Jess! You musta been flying!!!

Thanks to all!

Angela welcome to our community, you caught us at a time when things are in the middle of change.This is not the norm and I have to ask you to excuse anyone it’s only because we love the site and the workouts so much.  Everything i believe will settle down.  Try the workouts, post your scores and I’ll keep an eye out for you!!

Okay so I only did 50 on each side…I am not physically ready for 100, YET! I am going to work up to that. Jess said she felt the burn at 70 or 80….ha! I was feeling it before 20! But I did 50 on each side in 8:48…I am going to try again maybe next week and shoot for 75 this time! Great work out…love the challenge. Oh and I challenged my husband to do it so maybe he could beat Jess’s time! We shall see!

Old time- 18 minutes and today, my time was 15 minutes.
Great job, Jess!

I did this yesterday in 18:25 and my legs are sooo sore today! (I love this of course)

jess….11 mins…damn!   very good!!

jess….11 mins…damn!   very good!!

It is really hard to see the way the workout is performed when the camera is only pointing at the face, belly or chest, when the exercise really involved squatting and step ups, a full shot of the complete movement/combo will really help. I love the 80′s style fashion dressing with the leg warmers and all, but I prefer to see the exercise performed correctly, the shots at the belly and face doesn’t help me. :(

This isn’t meant as negativity but truly if Freddy wants our feedback he should listen to what we think. I loved the lululemon top and bottom. They looked great on Jess. I didn’t like the choice of make up. I have no problem with a girl workout on a video wearing some makeup but maybe it was the color of the eyeshadow but it just distracted from the workout itself. And the earrings were too much. I would wear earrings that size but not working out. I work out in my studs, Don’t get me wrong, I work out with my jewelry on but it consits of  my necklaces that don’;t come off and my sports watch and some simple studs. And While I love the leg warmers I thought the whole look would have been better in tennis shoes. And the camera angles were too much of check out this hot body and less of this is a great workout. Those of you slamming any one from making their opinions known should back off just a bit. I am not being negative, Jess has a great body and she did a fantastic workout with a killer time. That’s awesome. Just don’t need to be so over the top with the presentation. It distracted me from the workout at hand and from the awesome job that Jess was doing physically as well as the results her hard work shows in her body.

LOL, used this as my warm up.

I used a Bosu on the flat side instead of a chair on this workout.

My time: 6:44

17.02 with a step (like in the old fashioned step classes), very pleased with the result!

I´m persuaded that the idea is to NOT stop your timer before you finish. So if breaks needed then the time is still running. :( But you should always compare mainly with you. So write down your time (pauses included) and see how you will improve next time. It´s really motivating. And don´t be upset if your time is slower than average. As Zuzka used to say – as long as it feels intense for you – you should be satisfied with how you did and looking forward to beating your personal best next time ;)

And the time for exercise? I believe it´s really individual and you must find what suits you best. For example I noticed that a lot of people there like to workout before breakfast and they love it. I can´t handle it, I´m to hungry and therefor weak. 

I did the first 25 reps/ leg with the chair and then went to the floor to finish it off but I really paid attention to exhaling and doing a good crunch on the knee lift- 10min 30 sec.

I should have mentioned that it was after a 5km run. the run took 33 minutes and I was talking the whole way. BR has made my runs SO much easier!!  thank you!

17:34 for me.  I don’t understand how Jess could have done this in 11 min!!!  I did the math and that’s 3.3 seconds average for each step up.  My score is 5.27 seconds on average.  Oh well, I’m pretty happy with my score.  And this was after a one-hour walk and a 20 min run, too.  I didn’t really take breaks, but every once and a while I would stop enough for the burn to leave.  The nice thing about this workout is that there’s enough time to let the burn subside.

I know that. but that’s  what they think. they think if I would eat more than “normal”/like everyone eats, I would get fat :( they just don’t like the idea of buying cartons of  eggs twice a week…

Im not sure about that, I think she now wants to go on moderate amounts of complex carbs. if U look up on ealier recipes on the “food & diet” section you’ll see carbs EVERYwhere… I mean, she won’t make up any recipe without ‘em. if it’s whole wheat bread, pastas, oats, couscous potatoes etc etc… it never ends ! the Q is if she ate it with literally EVERY single meal or not. I think I would go on eating carbs 3-4 times a day (portion size of 15carbs each) for BF for sure, maybe 10am, lunch(1pm), & post-wo (7pm) – what do U think ???

BTW I did gone primal on mark sisson’s program but it didn’t seemed to be satisfied at all… all those fats & simple sugars I had to get from fruits just completly took my enrgy level out of control… I got very sleepy doing that & I coudln’t perform any of BR WOs. so generally I don’t think I would go back. but thanks for the suggestion & Im happy it helps a group of people.

Many thanks,

BR Beth

Wow guys lighten up! I just did a GREAT workout with new bodyrocker host Lisa Marie, she is amazing. I got so much energy and good vibe that bodyrockers like Kelly being a bit rude doesn´t even affect me. We have a right to say what ever we like or do not like about the site. I´m sure Freddy appreciates constuctive criticisim and tips on making this site awesome for all of us. That is way different than complaining (not that anybody is complaining here right?) Any way Kelly, thanks for YOUR support, it is greatly appreciated. 

Have a great weekend bodyrockers!! WE ROCK!!! Love u all =)

Don’t worry about the comments people make just stay committed to the workouts, it’s about your fitness goals and how far you want to take them not about the nonsense that comes from so of these people..ever heard the saying “you can please some of the people some of the time”. People your getting this stuff for FREE…do you realize how much they could be charging?

this community is so interesting to read about…. because it seems like everyone is genuinly in love with the site and those who run it, so much so that THEY get offended FOR the hosts. it makes me smile a little, no one ever said anything offensive but some of us have gotten so hot and bothered about this consructive criticism that it seems as tho we were the ones being criticized. being a personal trainer myself i do agree, this is a simple routine… if you train on a regular basis. but at least 70% of my clients would never be able to do this workout correctly on their own! and that is perfectly alright, it may be basic but it is still physically challenging and those who do not know the first thing about proper form, (which happens to be a lot of us, there is a reason we hire personal trainers) then we are just running the risk of hurting ourselves and ultimately stunting our progress to become fit individuals. everyone learns in different ways, some of us need to do something ourselves before we get it, some of us need to see it, some of us do best reading about it. so if someone kindly asks for a better view, even if it seems unnecessary to you, remember the last time that you were made to feel stupid because you didnt understand something that others thought was common sense. it hurts, but the passion you guys all have is inspiring! remember to always manifest that passion positively, even when others seem to be frustratingly ignorant. nothing good ever comes from negativity. speak your mind, and stand up for your beliefs, but be respectful and open to all those who feel differently. good luck everyone!

I revisited this one today and took 1:45 off my time! I really tweaked my shoulder on the January 30 day challenge so I have to back off the new wild stuff for a bit to see if I can get it under control.

Took a minute off and did 13:30. Whew!
