I for one would love to see a 12 week training program using specific exercises to get better at over the course of the 3 months. The randomness of the workouts are definitely fun and entertaining, but I would love to have something more tangible and more focused. Whether it be 12 weeks of pistols, push-up variations, pull-ups, hanging leg raises, handstands, splits, burpees, etc, etc. I want something where I can progress overtime and see my progress. But that's me. Anyone else?
I'm curious to hear your thoughts!
I'm exhausted and I WAY overate today. It was my oldest daughter's First Communion today and I had a TON of family, food, desserts, and alcohol at my house allllllllll day long. So fun, but so tiring. I'm off to get my kiddos to bed.
We had a beautiful day out here in New England for a change. We got to go outside an enjoy the sunshine. What a difference it can make! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
Beautiful pic of you and your girls. Love the dress!
ReplyDeleteI've been working like crazy lately, but I think I noticed zuzka was introducing a longer beginner program? 9 weeks maybe? I'm glad she's doing something a little longer than that typical 30 day challenges and whatnot, but I wish she'd off a progressive program for non-beginners too. Maybe with some skill AND strength progressions.
I think zuzka will be able to achieve this much easier than body rock. I feel like I have no idea what they're doing lately. Zuzka manages to keep me interested
I have something else to add.. Haha! I follow ekhartyoga and they're churning out programs all the time. Like once a month or every couple of months. The community there seem to really like that, as there's always a 'theme' to the programs and they are progressive. Maybe body rock could do an upper body series (with some lower body work of course), a lower body program, strength - based, power-based? I don't know! Something other than 30day whatever, random exercise, repeat to see if you've done better
DeleteZuzka manages to keep me interested too. I do like that about her! I think she just re-released her beginner series for free to get more followers - which is a smart move.
DeleteAnd thanks - I liked my dress too, and my girls are damn cute. :)
I am going to checkout ekhartyoga - thanks for the tip.
Hm, that's a good question, what would I want to see....I really enjoyed last year's Summer Shred series. That was pretty awesome. I personally would like to see more bodyweight-only workouts, with maybe just the kettlebell. I used to love the 500/600 rep workouts in the Zuzka's BR days, where you would do 60 reps of 10 exercises and it burned like crazy. Sometimes I get annoyed with all of the fancy exercises she has nowadays (I really hate split jumps). I think I long for the longer workouts (20+ minutes) that left you feeling really amazing and wiped out. I enjoy how Zuzka's exercises really target the core, but overall, the 15 minutes are sometimes much too short for me, so I modify them myself by doing more rounds or more reps in every round.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the fancy exercises. Both Z and BR.TV do too much of that - IMO.
