Lots of New Workouts From Zuzka

Zuzka has posted quite a new few workouts the last few days.

She had her JRC #9 - a jump rope workout which I always like these the best as a cash out.
I actually haven't been doing much of anything as far as cash outs go. Once a week I do 50 KB swings with a 35lber, but most of the time I am SO wiped from my lifting, I don't feel like I need it!

I got up to 165 lbs for my deadlift - only one rep, I felt it in my back a little, so I will try again next week. I did 155 lbs for 8 reps though, and I did 11 pull-ups last week! :)

Zuzka also posted her latest yoga workout which was a yoga workout combined with light weights. I'm not a fan. I like my weights and yoga to be done separately, but that's me!

She posted her workout schedule for the week as well:

  • Monday

    Body Crush #16 X - Full body & Cardio (New in ZGYM)

  • Tuesday

    Cardio Shred #8 (beat your personal best)

  • Wednesday

    Beginner Cardio #3 (new in ZGYM)

  • Thursday

    Benchmark Workout (beat your personal best)

  • Friday

    5 minute workout #28 (new in Workouts)

  • Saturday

    Kettlebell Workout #6 X (New in ZGYM)

  • Sunday

    Power Yoga #13 (ZGYM)

Looks like she has 4 more new workouts this week including the body crush #16 from today:

Workout Breakdown
3. Over a box jump x 10
6. Side Plank hip lift  x 10 alt.
________________________________
15 min AMRAP – I completed 2 rounds and all the reps from the first 3 exercises.

I like the looks of this workout A LOT actually. One of her better ones in a long time. She STILL needs to do more pulling/back exercises to make her workouts more complete and better rounded.


What have you guys thought about her workouts lately?

    I'm like you and have stuck to weightlifting for quite a while now. I have tried a workout or two from BRs challenges and maybe one from Zuzka, but they bore me to be honest.
    I enjoy the sheer fatigue I get from weightlifting. The extra work I have to put in. I have to be as mentally with it as I am physically. I feel with BR and Zuzka, I can mindlessly go through it. It just isn't enough for me at this stage in my life.

    Gina you are a BEAST! 75 kg dead lift and 11 pull ups! Congrats for the personal best :) I like to do a new personal best. I did 7 pull ups, but now I don't do them for months and probably I am down to 5.

      I dropped my subscriptions with Z and BR. I prefer KB or weights and TRX. The constant jumping around is too harsh on the body.

    I'm surprised people continue to pay for Zuzkas 5 minute workouts. Granted I am not a member so I don't know what the exercises involve but Rumi and fitnessrum have longer, really hard, tons of variety workouts for FREE! http://fitnessrum.com

    Indeed, Rumi 's workouts are very challenging! She uses the very strict minimum of equipement ( a pair of 10 pounds dumbells, a chair and a mat ). She makes me sweat like crazy with her body weight and her 20 pounds of dumbells only! Rumi and Melissa Bender are the best!!!!
