   Wow Z. Loads of great ideas…. Yes, I was just a Zgym nerd and read them all

   Some really great ideas !
   I too continue to go back to the Cardio Shred series and I love JRC KB.

   I really liked the idea of doing some sort of martial arts based HIIT workout or boxing type workout – bodyweight only perhaps.

   I’ve got resistance tubes = resistance bands with handles that I occasionally use for squats, lunges, but I don’t really know the best way to get the most out of them.
   I’ve also got a TRX that I’d love to use more, but I don’t really know how to incorporate your workouts with that bit of equipment.
   Perhaps a few workouts for focusing on DUMB BELL only moves ? (12lb)

   Loads of great ideas – can’t wait to see what you do for us all in 2018!!
   Thanks for the workouts, the motivation and being my fitness guru!!
   Lots of love

   Hi Zuzka! I’ve read all the comments and, personally, I agree with most of them.
   First of all I ‘d like improve my strength… And I love your full body low impact because there is more recovery for the muscles (you often have upper exercise and then lower exercise) and I think this is better for strength.
   I love a lot every KB workout… And I’ d like to see :
   1- TRX WORKOUT
   2- KICKBOXING ROUTINE
   3- Advanced STRETCHING /YOGA WORKOUTS
   4- More Pgm… I’m a fan of every pgm with a specific objective! 😉

   But everything will be amazing… Because of you!

   Thanks you so much Z! Kisses! 😘

   Sometimes I like working outside in the fresh air although it is often difficult due to weather conditions…which would then mean more body weight exercises.
   What about stair workouts or animalistic movements.

   flexibility training – I feel like I did neglect that part this year focusing on strength. I love the idea of the 8-minute workout, that was brilliant!

   Cardio shreds are my recent go to “felt” like doing the suggested workout of the day. I’m ok buying the occasional $5 to $15 piece of equipment and I even splurged and bought a pull up station since there’s no door frames in my workout space in the basement that would work for the ones that go in the door. I won’t invest in TRX equipment though. That’s one of the things I love must about Zgym…you get an AWESOME workout without having to invest in a lot of equipment.

     I agree. Awesome workouts without investing in a lot of equipment.

     I also agree. I had the TRX for a while and also traveled with it once. I found it to be just “ok”. I know it works well in a gym setting, perhaps as part of a TRX class that is mostly cardio based. But I found it to not really be that great for strengthening. Perhaps I’ve been working out long enough that I find it to be too easy, for the most part. I do think that for many of us who are already dedicated to our workout routines, it’s just unnecessary. I really tried to use it, but found it annoying that I was so confined to the space by my door (where it hung), and just felt generally limited in what I could do with it. I even bought some of the videos that were the most advanced TRX workouts, and still found it to be not that great. That just shows you how effective Zuzka’s workouts and her style is for us over time!! I was keeping up with the muscley men in the TRX videos like……um…….ok……..I don’t really agree with all the pro-TRX comments. It’s all good, if she does make a TRX series, I’ll just ignore it, lol.

   more upper body strength exercises, particularly back, biceps, shoulders, and maybe a little bit harder chest. the leg and core work is great, but my upper body seems to be lagging behind. u do a great job of combining exercises, and i really like getting the cardio work at the same time and ur emphasis on stretching.

     I’d love to see more upper body strength exercises as well! I have this problem too — my upper body, particularly my biceps, seems to be lagging. It’s probably a body type issue, but I think I’d benefit from a little extra work in these areas!

       hi victoria, i started implementing more bodywt upper body strength exercises to try to balance things out. i like the idea of having the flexibility to workout wherever i am, and i’m trying to figure just how much i can get from bodywt workouts, so i tried to figure out a way to hit biceps using my body. i’ve been a big follower of athlean-x for abt a yr and a half, but i don’t like his bodywt version of hitting the biceps, at least when using only ur body. what i came up w was standing on one leg and lifting the other leg w the hand on the side of that leg. one version is to wrap ur hand around the back of the knee and lift the knee up twd ur chest. i like to point my elbow out to the side a lil so that the motion of my arm is more like a reg bicep curl. the nice thing abt this is that ur legs are pretty freaking heavy compared to ur arms, so they r much stronger and they can be used to adjust how much force u put on ur lifting arm. u also get some real good core work if u can balance urself on one leg while doing reps. another version is to wrap ur hand around the front of ur knee and pull up. this is now more like a hammer curl and will hit the outside of ur bicep more. another version still is to instead grab the backside of ur opposite leg and lift that one while balancing on the leg that is on the same side of ur lifting arm.

       i agree w u, i think this is a body type issue bc zuzka has a great upper body, even biceps look good, and she rarely hits biceps directly. it’s almost all indirect involvement.

       another idea, but this time using “sliders”. i use socks and they work pretty good. lie on the floor facedown, palms on the floor w slider under ur palms and near ur sides. u want the mimic a bicep curl motion, so slide palms up twd shoulders while lifting elbows up off the floor. again, mimic the bicep curl motion so that bicep is contracted. this is as hard as u make it by pushing into the floor w ur palms. when u reach full contraction reverse the motion, still pushing down into floor, and now ur working the triceps. i then swing my arms out to the side a lil and repeat the curl motion. then i swing my arms up more so that they r level w my shoulders (so if i look left or rt my shoulders shd be in line w my arms), and i perform the curls again. then i reverse the placement of my arms. this is as hard as u want to make it, depends on how hard u push into the flr. hope this helps!

   tulsa, ok

   I don’t know whatever happened with the pole, but I absolutely love to learn stuff on that. I know people automatically dismiss it as a stripper pole, but there are some amazing acrobatic stuff I have seen done, especially like cirque de solie type stuff from Vegas. It’s incredibly hard and I’ve taken a few classes and have a total appreciation for anyone who can do tricks on that. I luckily have a public park with a playground that has a pole I can practice on, but I love the spinning pole the best. I wish I had room in my house to have one because I’d be on it everyday. There are some great strengthening exercises you can do as well. Just a thought : )

     I’ve done pole dancing/fitness for years now and it is an amazing practice. I have a pole but since I’ve moved over a year ago I have no ceiling that accommodates it right now ☹️ And poles are very expensive.

       I wish I had a pole, too!!! That’s so cool that you used to do pole. I took a few classes and progressed pretty quickly (I swear, I owe it all to following Zuzka for nearly 9 years), but…..alas….one must own a pole. Waaaaaaahhhh. I look forward to the day when I can afford to live in a home that would accommodate a pole. 😩

     Yes, a pole dancing series! I’ve seen the acrobatic pole routines like you said and they are truly amazing! How those dancers are so strong and athletic and graceful! Been dying to learn!

    I like The old style ZWOW with body weight only workouts. You had a workout called “kettle bell beach” the only equipment needed was a kettle bell. The less equipment the better I like the workout. Easy to do wherever you go.
