Zuzka has another giveaway, BR Day #47, Lisa has a little melt down! and more from Bret Contreras

Zuzka posted another giveaway: Ellavage skincare products! http://bit.ly/EllavageGiveaway

There was an interesting conversation about it on her FB page:

• Adalgisa Zanardini Smith giveaways usually mean someone has jumped the shark

  Adalgisa Zanardini Smith Zuzka Light, glad to hear that. Typical signs of jumping the shark are giveaways, promotions, using sex to sell fitness...pretty much what BR is..Glad to hear you are going to be different from them

Doesn't Zuzka do all 3 that this woman is saying BR does? I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing. Though I don't think Zuzka uses sex anymore to sell fitness, she is selling a sexy image. 

Zuzka also did a 'fashion haul' type of post about hair. She hasn't done one in a while now:

Her hair actually looked great. It did look like a promotion for the salon, but not sure why? Maybe doing a friend a favor? 

And is she doing all these giveaways for more publicity? 

I also saw this posted on another FB page about ZGym:

Hello Fit Ladies, How are you guys doing with the ZGYM/Sweat Factor issue? Sweat Factor is charging me the monthly payment, while Zuzka's support email says she has nothing to do with Sweat Factor.

Did anyone of you face this situation? How did you get the membership cancelled from Watch It Now TV/Sweat Factor?

  Iv Why I lost $20 in the transition, but I got my subscription cancelled I guess, it says when I log in that they stopped billing.

I'm surprised that some people are still having this issue. I think it is now pretty clear that they are 2 separate entities. Though the person who lost $20 I'm not sure I understand. Zuzka should honor two months for them - IMO. 

BR Posted Day #47:
This was abs day. I loved all the moves except the super silly 1-2-3 shuffle move. ICK! Even Lisa had trouble with it and she go SO aggravated on camera. It made me belly laugh. I loved it. I am not being mean or picking on Lisa at all here. I thought it was so real and she was so cute here. More bloopers please BR!!! That was fantastic. Would love to see them.

Lisa moved onto swings which was the strength move - but again on other days they say it is a cardio move. I think it is cardio as well unless you are doing them super heavy.

And.... drum roll..... NO push ups! :)

I really liked the side plank move too - I do this one in my yoga/core classes and LOVE them.
There was a little glimpse of the burn out at the end of the video that look pretty enticing.

Also , no more weighted vest these days. That was short lived. I wonder why? I think some people just find it annoying and too hot to wear.


I read this on Bret's blog today and I LOVE this. How true it is!

Just because a lifter doesn't have good leverages for an exercise doesn't mean that the exercise isn't beneficial for him or her. In 5 years of testing subjects in EMG activity, I've learned that many lifters receive the highest muscle activation from lifts that they're relatively weak at. A lifter with proportionately long femurs probably won't be the best squatter out there, but his or her quads will have to work very hard to extend the knees in a squat even if the loads don't seem that impressive. Learn to appreciate exercises based on how hard they work the muscles, not by how strong you are at them compared to colleagues.
