WORKOUT OF THE WEEK:

Be sure to warm up first. This is ZWOW#118 redone as a strength workout. 
The video to this workout is here. No make up, no tan, no oil, no silicone (LOL) so it's not glamorous and I used my cell phone to video it, but you'll get the idea.
I just did a sample of each exercise.

Single Leg Deadlift - 8-12 reps each leg. I used 2 20 lb KB's, (You can also use dumbbells, and you can also use one DB or one KB if you do not have 2). Zuzka did these into kicks, I omitted the kicks and added weight to make it more strength oriented and less cardio.
Bent Over Rows - 1:3 count, lift for one, and lower for 3. I used this variation because the 2 20 lb KB's were not heavy enough and this makes it harder. I added these into the workout, Zuzka did not have it included.
One arm plank to PUSH UP on Knees, to one arm hip raise and crab toe touch to jump up - 
5 reps each side: I did one arm push ups on my knees instead of the press ups as those were tweaking my low back, but you could do them either way. BOTH ways are strength moves IMO.  
Weighted Side Lunges - I used a 44lb KB, alternating sides, 12 reps each leg. Zuzka did hops, and I omitted the hop and used a heavier weight instead.
Mountain climbers to 1 leg push up - I kept these the same.

Do 4 rounds of the above for a full body strength routine.
