Introducing The Beast
Blog | January 08, 2016
The 2015 was a year of recovery for me. I was recovering in terms of my business, finances, mental health and also my physical health. Mentally, I haven’t given up on myself 🙂 I’m getting better and keeping the crazy under control. Business is great, we’re stable again and I have a lot of great things to look forward to. One of the greatest news is that my back feels amazing again. It took time for me to recover completely from the back issues I had in 2014. I’ve been very diligent with my postural therapy routines and very careful with my workouts, which was essential for my recovery, but it built up enormous tension inside of me. The limitations I had to face were stopping me from training the way I really wanted to. I wanted to use my heavy kettlebell, I wanted to do more challenging exercises, I wanted to get more flexible, but my back kept telling me I wasn’t ready. Getting rid off the stiffness in my lower back, and sciatica pains completely, took months and months of at home therapy. By the way, I have some great routines in my Postural Therapy series in the ZGYM for any of your chronic or injury related pains.
I finally feel free and ready to rock. That’s why I’m bringing the Beast into my workouts. She’s a 44lb beauty that will help me to build fuller and rounder glutes, strong back, legs and abs .Don’t get me wrong, you can absolutely built a strong, athletic, and gorgeous body with your medium size kettlebell with the workouts we already have. We’ve been doing this for years and it’s been working, but I wouldn’t want to stay in one place and put limits on what we can do. If you do have the option to get your own Beast, go for it. If not, you can still be excited for the brand new AWESOME and supercharged ZGYM workouts – especially the new routines in your favorite Lifted Butt Series next week!!
Now, let’s get to the reasons why you should consider owning and training with a heavy kettlebell.
1. Muscle size – don’t worry ladies, we won’t be growing huge arms and shoulders. We’re going to use the extra weight to put some meat on our glutes.
2. Strength – why would you say no to an obvious benefit.
3. Muscular endurance – the longer you can sustain a high intensity activity the more calories you’ll burn which is helpful in keeping your weight under control. It will also make you faster. Imagine going through some of my most intense ZGYM workouts with minimum breaks and beating your personal bests in time and reps. Your new progress tracker* would be very happy 🙂
*Progress tracker is a new tool for my ZGYM members that allows them to keep track of their workout performance.
Some of you have just started working out with me, so I would suggest you to just get used to working out with your medium size kettlebell and build some stamina. You will know when you’re ready to take it to the next level.
There are many of you guys that have been working out with me for years and I know you’re itching for something that will take your training to the next level. This is it. 2016 is the year we’ll show the world how awesome we can be 🙂 let’s do this!!
I found some deals on Amazon that you can take advantage of and get your beasty 44 or 45lb (if you’re an average woman) kettlebell for cheaper price: Kettlebells on Amazon

I am super proud of you Zuzka. You are now even stronger than before. I completely understand the emotional and physical taxation that can be a result of a relationship catastrophe. I experienced my own relationship catastrophe all of last year, too. So we have both been on overall healing journeys this past 2015. These periods of time can be insane because our physical and mental/emotional health go hand in hand. So it seems we can completely fall apart all at once, with something affecting our emotional well-being suddenly leading to a physical injury/condition, etc. These are the periods that test our strength. And it is up to us to learn the lessons that come from these periods and come out true warriors, able to handle absolutely anything!!
I have been already using heavier weight, either with my 35 lbs KB or using both my 35 lbs and 25 lbs KBs together, or 40 lbs sandbag. I have seen MAJOR BENEFITS! Including much, much stronger (not bulky) legs that have made me a stronger beach runner, too! And a bigger butt! I’m so glad you are able to up the weight now!! I can’t wait for these new workouts! I enjoyed the recent cardio shred with the heavier weight, for sure. I used 60 lbs for the deadlifts and have been doing suitcase squats with that weight. I love my butt and would love to slowly up the weight.

You can try. It depends how comfortable it’s going to be for you to use it for the swings.

For me the beast is 30 lbs! I was thinking of selling it because it’s too heavy for me but if you reintroduce heavy KB swings and deadlift, I will keep her!

Well made cast iron kettlebells feel good in your hand and poorly cast handles can cause pain and blisters.

This is awesome! The Beast fits perfectly in what I was aiming for 😀

If you can’t buy a kettlebell it’s possible to DIY with help from youtube. Unless you are really handy at making stuff it won’t be the best beast, but you need this! 🙂
