Is The Advanced BootCamp Here, And Is It Free? (UPDATED) What IS Really Going On With This Blog? Summer Shred #15 with Zuzka, The Latest Fitness Stuff On The Web Including a 30 Day Booty Challenge!

I saw on Facebook people asking about the Advanced Bootcamp and a few of you have asked about it here, so perhaps it did not launch for people yesterday? I remember the Intermediate bootcamp did not launch on their proposed date either. Lisa's response on FB was that it should be in your email or to email their customer service...... Someone else asked her today, and she responded with 'today hopefully.' Huh?
Then I DID get an email saying that Advanced Bootcamp is released today and that they are also starting an On Demand service. I know a lot of you won't like it because it is a pay service, but it's the way of the world these days. Everything from TV, to Radio, to Movies is a subscription service. What I don't understand is that it looks like it Bootcamp is no longer free? I tried clicking on the bootcamp workouts from various different options and I can't get see the workout unless I pay. I thought they advertised this as free? Or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Or maybe they just changed their minds?
OR -  I think it is free for 30 days - which is the length of the Advanced Bootcamp, BUT you need to give your credit card info, and start your free 30 day trial, and cancel if you don't want to be charged after that. Or at least that's how I see it to work?
If so, WOW that's a HHHUUUGGGEEE change for bodyrock.
UPDATE: There is a link on Lisa's FB page today for the new Bootcamp - I tried that. From there you have a choice to go for on demand or just get the bootcamp delivered to your inbox daily. I made the latter choice. Nothing yet to my inbox - though they may have blocked me. There are quite a few comments under Lisa's posts that people are not getting the emails, so I'm not sure. There are lots of other folks who also think you can only get it by doing it via the free trial of the on demand mode - which was my experience when I tried it through the email I got yesterday.


Again as I said, Freddy threatened a law suit against me.
He does not want me to use his images, photos, videos, etc. etc..
I understand that.
He does not want to talk about anyone associated with bodyrock either, he accused me of slander - but there is a difference between slander and Freedom of Speech. He doesn't get to pick and choose as much there.
I have removed many of the images as he requested already.
I drive a lot of traffic to his sites so I don't get that part, but so be it.
Maybe he is just protecting Lisa - the love of his life -  and if so, that is really sweet and romantic. I also think that I just really push that man's buttons! Oh well. Onward and forward.

Zuzka published her latest Summer Shred workout - #15.
Now before I get accused of doing anything else wrong I am not going to copy and paste her workout.
It is a lot like last weeks - it is broken up into 3 parts:

The first part is Kettlebells - all leg work. She uses her 44lb and 26 lb bells.
The second part is jump rope and burpees: is is 6 rounds of 30 seconds work and 10 seconds rest.
The last part is upper body and abs - 2 rounds. She uses her pull up bar and her sliders.
I have not tried this workout yet - and will do it next week when I am on vacation. It looks pretty damn tough though!
For those of you who did it - what did you think?
I'm such a weights girl now that I have a hard time getting the same endorphin rush from these kinds of workouts. My heart rate gets up there for sure, but my muscles don't feel as taxed.
I've been working out at home with lighter weights the past several days - since my daughter's surgery - and will throughout the next few weeks (we start vacation this Saturday), so I'll be dying to get back into heavy weights again come August!

Here are some workouts from around the web you guys might be interested in:

I believe I mentioned this one last week: Fit Force FX (thanks Mira!) She has a YouTube Channel full of free HIIT workouts - and they are long workouts - at least an hour!  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9wkhjMDu9rwOhjoMnOalnQ

Secondly, I have mentioned Bret's new program called Strong by Bret. You can try it for free for 2 weeks. I cannot recommend this guy enough if you reallllllllly want to change your body. You will however need access to weights. strongbybret.com

An oldie but goodie from Bret too - 30 day BOOTY challenge - all bodyweight exercises.
https://bretcontreras.com/30-day-glute-challenge/

If any of you are into Kettlebells like I am, I found a terrific site for free KB workouts:

One of my favs of all time can be found here: http://www.myomytv.com/workouts/
Marianne does short intense and full-body, well balanced workouts. She is a nurse and a trainer, so I always find her workouts the most well rounded and functional along with high-intensity. All free!

And whatever happened to Rumi? Remember her?
http://fitnessrum.com/category/workouts/
She has lots of free workouts via her YouTube channel, FB page and her web-site. She hasn't posted anything new anywhere in  long time and hasn't responded to anyone either. I hope she is OK! She had a lot of great workouts. Again, all free.
