My Apologies!

I think I might have hit a nerve with my last post about Zuzka - and I thought I might.

Please know that not for one second I do hate Zuzka OR Lisa. I like them both very much and have repeatedly said I think they do good work and consistently inspire others to fitness.

DO I think Zuzka lies about her workouts? No.
Do I think she is forth coming about how much easier it is for her to look like she does than for most of us? No.
Do I think Zuzka only works out for 12-20 min a day? Yes and no. I think Zuzka does her own workouts on a daily basis, but when you add in the pull ups she does throughout the day, the arm balancing she practices each day we are now talking at least 30 min. A warm up and cool down make it longer than that.
Do I think you can look just like Zuzka if you eat and workout like her? Not unless you have her body type.
Do I think she can help you look better? Yes.
Do I think it is wrong that Zuzka uses her body image to make money? No.
But do I think it can be deceitful? Yes.
Does her customer service need to be improved? Yes.

And as I have said over and over again - these things are MY opinion. You don't need to agree. But I am not being hateful. The whole haters are gonna hate thing doesn't work with me. Disagreements are not hate. I have never called Zuzka or Lisa a name.

And if I make a mistake I will admit it - every.single.time.

I was WRONG about the pull ups and one of my readers sent me a link (thank you elliotreed!)

Here are a couple of other workouts sent to me about Zuzka's incredible athletic abilities.

  1. Does anyone else find it amazing that ALL of this "stuff" between BR and Zuzka has happened in a few years? Zuzka was still with BR in 2011! The divorce, the addition of Lisa, the Zuzka changes. So much drama!
    Adding to this post of opinions, I find both of the girls so much sadder these days. Look at when Lisa started, she was giggly and really high energy. Like I have said, she has REALLY grown on me and I love to train with her, but I feel an underlying saddness in her. Same with Zuzka. I have tons of her workouts from when she first started again downloaded and she just seemed so much happier.

    1. Yep, lots of drama! I have heard from other people that Lisa seems sadder than when she first started. I haven't heard the same about Z yet though.

  2. I remember when zuzka was doing capoeira (spelling?) classes... Maybe it was 2010 or 2011. Whenever she started adding cartwheels to her workouts. She did briefly introduce Kettlebells a long time ago with BR, but it was short lived. Either way, she does do extra and she's a freak of nature genetically.. Haha

    1. I remember when she was doing those classes! And she obviously learned yoga from somewhere too - she's made full length DVD's on yoga classes. So definitely extra! And I happen to really like her yoga DVDs. I don't have any of her other DVDs though.

  3. Who was upset about your post? Maybe I missed it but I don't see any complaints about it on the blog.

    1. Lexxie - who ever it was ended up removing their comment! And I can't help but think of you when the question of how much does Zuzka really workout comes up. :)

    2. That's too bad they removed it. I find it interesting to hear other's views.

    3. I'm not sure it was really another view, but it was a lot of calling me a hater over and over again. I still would have kept the comment bc people are entitled to their opinion. The only time so far I have removed comments have been spam. I would remove them as well if threats were made or if they were abusive in nature. So far I've been lucky!

    4. People these days. Maybe they felt bad after and that's why they deleted it. I use to do Zuzka 12 more n workouts everyday and wonder why I wasbt seeing results. I personally like that u call bs on that

    1. It was a motivational post from a follower of Zuzka.

  5. Someone calling someone else a "hater" for having a difference of opinion or commentary is so played out. I was telling someone the other day that having a difference of opinion is what makes debates interesting, and that keeping an open mind is super important. Whether you agree or disagree, it is entirely possible to come to an understanding.

    I just am not a fan of the "haters gonna hate" mentality. If people feel that way, then they can say as much, but perhaps with more original wording that reflect their actual thoughts and not some blanket meme-esque ridiculousness, lol.

    Kudos for handling it like a champ, as usual!

    1. Thanks Lindsey! I think it has been played out too. We can all agree to disagree, and that's just fine. :)
