After reading Zuzka's interview with Dragon Door stating how she did not practice for the snatch test I emailed them and asked how it was possible that she passed the test. With such a high failure rate and the reputation this test has as being so brutal I wanted to know how she could without prior technical practice. I did not get a response!

I noticed it in one of her previous workouts. I think her poor execution of the exercise is why she uses such a light kettlebell for it. She should not include snatches in her workouts if she cannot do it correctly. I too, wonder how she got certified. I even think her swing form could be much better. <br />That being said, I enjoy her little 5min workouts!

I think adding weights to BR and Zuzka's workouts is a GREAT idea. Just note you might not be able to go as fast. You might need more of a 40/20 split rather than 50/10 or even a 1 min on with a 30 second off. For example, when I practice deadlifts I go up to 165 lbs. So I use a different format. I often WILL incorporate their workouts, but like Lindsey said - I add in my own stuff or use theirs as an outline. :) Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632837441617369256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943301854296721090.post-85983354279485234232014-10-29T11:10:12.634-07:002014-10-29T11:10:12.634-07:00Lindsey and Gina thanks so much for your feedback!...Lindsey and Gina thanks so much for your feedback! Want to really get to work, but always struggle with results so I'm looking for THE perfect workouts, which there are none, only what works best for me...and I'm thinking that is consistency. Being 52 makes it harder to see results, which makes me look frantically for "the right thing".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943301854296721090.post-45896343727891484342014-10-29T09:48:27.726-07:002014-10-29T09:48:27.726-07:00lol I think it's actually super cute that she ...lol I think it's actually super cute that she said that at the end of what Freddy said. Nice to know that they are individuals and not of groupthink, as a lot of companies/brands seem to be.<br /><br />I'd say to modify exercises to achieve your personal goals -- use it as a guide for what you are looking for. In example, I'm doing more pulling exercises where there are pushing exercises in the current challenge. Also I am doing more bicep and chest than tricep oriented exercises, since my biceps and chest need a little work. Additionally, since my upper body is a bit more built to my liking already, I've been subbing some lower body exercises (squat/deadlift/lunge variations w/ or w/o weight) to meet my personal goal of a tighter lower half. <br /><br />At this point in my self education, I've been using the workouts as detailed, flexible guide to meet my goals. You should, too (in a way that is most comfortable for you), and not just Bodyrock or Zuzka, but any circuit [or otherwise] workout you come across.

She may do body weight lunges for 30 seconds, I could do them with weights. Would that be more effective?<br /><br />ps. I find it so exciting that Lisa responded to you! She did post at the end of Freddys rant and say "what is going on here". I'd love to be as loving and accepting as she seems to be!

That's why HIIT can be so effective. However building muscle is THE most effective way to burn fat - the more muscle you have the LESS room for fat in your body, and it is more efficient at burning fat. I think running stairs can be a great HIIT workout and a great addition to a workout program. That's the other thing about weight training - it is often a PLAN and not random workouts. I hope that helps!

Did you see the post on daily hiit asking which burns more calories...cardio or weights? People and the article say weights but i feel these challenges are cardio?
