Workout Schedule for The Week of August 28th
Workout Schedules | August 28, 2016
About the workout schedule
One of my workouts a day is good enough to improve your health and fitness, and get real visible results. If you’re super motivated to get super fast results, you can do the second suggested workout in this schedule, but caution should be taken to ensure that you’re not regressing by draining your energy too much.
I’m posting new workouts at midnight (PST -8) Los Angeles time zone, before the day starts. You can find this workout schedule on the right side of each page with links to the new workouts included.
You can also check out my latest weekly Food Journal where I share what I eat on a daily basis.
I decided to add a high intensity workout on Fridays to our weekly schedule because I think we can take it and have just 2 days of easy pace recovery routines. I suggest you do your Friday high intensity training early in the day and the 5 minute bonus workout at the evening so that you can go out and enjoy your carbs 🙂

Workout Schedule for Beginners
If you’re a beginner and you have just joined ZGYM™ for the first time, you should be focusing on building your strength and endurance via beginner workouts so that you can eventually progress to workout series such as Cardio Shred, Body Crush, Kettlebell Workouts, Jump Rope Cardio, etc.
If you stay consistent and workout daily, you can get there in just a few weeks. Remember that everything takes time and practice, but nothing is impossible. EXERCISE DAILY!

Hi, Zuzka! I was wondering if you plan on concocting more JRC workouts? 🙂

I am not sure if I am missing something. I am new to the program and see that tomorrow is killer legs 8 but I cannot find the workout. Where do I go to view this? I have really enjoyed the first two workouts that I have done. I am a tri athlete and normally do power lifting. I have had a injury that I have been healing from the last two weeks. I was not sure this would be challenging enough but it is perfect. I have actually had to scale some due to my injury. I LOVE IT! Thanks again

Killer Legs #8 is new so she won’t be posting it until tomorrow but Killer Legs #7 is also missing! I was looking for that today since I missed it over the weekend.

7# is not missing, it just has not put in the series yet, there is a search button and you can just search killer leg 7.

Hi Zuzka,
I’m not sure if you answered this already, but I am wondering if you are still recommending power yoga after most workouts?

Hi zuzka! I was wondering how is the best way to restart your schedule when for some reason we cannot do the exercises on the right day. Should I restart with the scheduled exercise that I missed, should I do both, or should I start with was is scheduled for today? I usually do both daily exercises recommended. And, if I’m only able to exercise 3-4 times weekly if I should do the same approach as the example I gave before. Thanks!!

Hi Zuzka. I just started your program. I’ve been working out for a couple of years now, lost a lot of weight, gained muscle but I really need to work on my strength and shred more fat. I was wondering if you think I should do your weekly workout out schedule or do the beginner strength and cardio? I did try the beginner program for a few days but I didn’t feel challenged enough. However I couldn’t keep up with you on Thursdays weekly workout. I did complete it though and I can clearly see where I need to improve. Since I can only do a few pull ups I had to modify those. What do you think? What does everyone else think as well? Thank you Zuzka and everyone.

Hi Zuzka,
I am about to finish the Cardio and Strength Program but I’m a little worried because I see very advanced exercises on the Regular Workout Schedule. So I wonder if you as a professional trainer consider convenient that I switch to those exercises after completing my current program.
Right now, I feel happy because I have noticed that my strength has increased and I feel I have progressed in fitness. However, if I make a comparison I find large differences of difficulty between the two programs, even at week 12 when it is already finished. That discourages me a little, because the reason why I joined to Zgym was to follow a guided training but I am already finishing the transition program and I don’t feel ready to start with regular workout schedule because it is really extremely hard.
Note: I apologize if I have any mistakes, English is not my native language.

I hope Zuzka responds to you. When i first began there was no beginner program. She had old body rock and then new Zgym. i was like “no way” but i did . I learned how to modify and go at my own pace. I used Zuzka as my background and did easier versions and rested as i needed and it worked! I have come a far way and i love it, but i had to learn patience. i used to just give up if i could not do something, but now i practice a move i want to or master even it is just a couple minutes. When she introduced the Ball, i felt awkward, but with a little practice using it for buy ins and such, i have much improved and find it fun. I hope you get some answers and suggestions!

Thanks. I think I’m just going to go at my own pace when I can’t keep up with Zuzka. As well as modify when needed. I plan to watch the videos first to see how she does the exercises. Then time myself and be patient too because I do get discouraged too at times.

So excited… got my new schedule this week at school. I have a break from 11:30-1.

Anybody else do two of Z’s workouts a day?

Hi zuzka
I’m confused about the homework as every workout says homework Monday through til Friday but then the next day’s main workout has homework to and the next etc etc so does that mean we combine all homework a togtther and do another workout ?
Love the workouts though but if you or someone could give a simple breakdown of how it all works that would be amazing .
