WORKOUT SCHEDULE FOR THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 28TH
Workout Schedules | December 27, 2015
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.
THIS WEEK I SUGGEST YOU ADD AN EXTRA POWER YOGA WORKOUT TO YOUR TRAINING. YOU CAN CHOOSE WHATEVER ONE YOU WANT AND EVEN GO BACK TO PRACTICE ARM BALANCES.
DON’T FORGET TO CHECK OUT MY FOOD JOURNAL TO SEE HOW MY TRAINING TIES INTO MY WEEKLY MEAL PLAN.

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!
There are 10 workout routines in Beginner Cardio Series, 10 in Beginner Strength Series, and 12 in Kettlebell Workouts for All Levels. You can find all of the Beginner Workouts under ZGYM > Series Title > Beginner Class. This is how you can rotate them in your weekly workout schedule:
WEEK #1
Monday – Beginner Cardio #1
Tuesday – Beginner Strength #1
Wednesday – Kettlebell workout for all levels #1
Thursday – Beginner Cardio #1 (push yourself more and try to be faster)
Friday – Beginner Strength #1 (give it your max. effort, and be faster than you were for the first time)
Saturday – Kettlebell Workout for all levels #1 (try to complete more total reps)
Sunday – Arm Balance #1 – start this series from the beginning and try to practice the same routine daily as recommended until the next Sunday. Then switch to Arm Balance #2 and continue your daily practice. This series is a great way to stretch your body and strengthen your core, arms, back and shoulders.
WEEK #2 – WEEK #10
Is the same structure as week #1, but you will change the workouts from Beginner cardio #1 and move on to #2 and Beginner Strength #1 to Beginner Strength #2. The same with the Kettlebell for All Levels. Every week you will pick the next workout in line.
This way, you will have 10 weeks to complete all of the Beginner Workouts (Cardio & Strength) in the ZGYM™ and build your strength, cardio and flexibility for my high intensity routines.
WEEK #11
In this week you will finish the Kettlebell Workouts for All Levels series and try some of my easier routines from the advanced series. This way you will ease into the main weekly workout schedule…
Monday – Kettlebell Workout for All Leves #11
Tuesday – Body Crush #1 (bodyweight workout)
Wednesday – Kettlebell Workout for All Levels #12
Thursday – Cardio Shred #1 (using weights, and jump rope)
Friday – Kettlebell Workout for All Levels #11 (push yourself harder than the last time)
Saturday – Kettlebell Workout for All Levels #12 (beat your personal best)
Sunday – Arm Balance #11 (do this routine daily until the next Sunday, then switch to the next one in this series)
WEEK #12
Congratulations!! You’re ready to start following the main workout schedule on the side bars. Those workouts are not easy, but you have come so far and built so much strength that you’ll be only making progress moving forward. You can always modify any exercise if it’s too hard and go at your own pace. Just don’t lose what you’ve gained over the past 11 weeks by procrastinating!!

My jump rope from zuzka’s store broke after two years. Where can I order the same one?

Dear Zuzka
In your Post “Recovery After Exercise – Important For Your Health And Progress” you recommended to plan in two recovery days every week. But your actual schedules plan one (or more) workouts for every day of the week – even for beginners. Isn’t this unhealthy? I’m a little bit confused about these divergent statements. Can you enlighten me?
Many thanks and a HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hi JayEl,
My recovery days are Wednesdays (beginner workouts), Fridays (short 5 minute workouts) and Sundays (power yoga). I don’t recommend to do “nothing” on your recovery days. I recommend active recovery in forms of easy pace workouts that will get your body moving and blood flowing which speeds up muscle recovery. The worse thing you can do is to do nothing the day after your intense training. Your body is designed to move and stretch daily. If you can stick to that, you’ll feel amazing. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I would love a workout series called “Pyramids and Ladders”, containing just those types of workouts.
