The exercises we’re going to do in today’s workout are one of those straight to the point, basic yet super powerful in delivering some serious results. Pull up is the best exercise for a rapid increase of your upper back and arms strength, while also targeting your abs. Hanging leg raise is one of the all time best ab exercise. I don’t think I need to introduce you to the power of push ups or plank exercises – ZGYM classics.

I would also like to stress out that, pull ups and hanging leg raises will not only help you shape up your body to be strong and athletic looking, but also take the pressure of your lower back. Many times people get rid off their lower back pain when they start doing pull ups and strengthen the muscles in their thoracic spine. Besides it’s an easy to get home equipment and you’re going to use it in ZGYM a lot. You don’t even need the pull up station that I use, all you need is a simple pull up bar that hooks into your doorway.

At the end of the video I talk about finding your motivation to stay active and stick to your training. While losing fat or toning up to look great in a bikini is still one of the most common motivators, it’s also one of those that doesn’t last very long. Don’t get me wrong, I do like to feel attractive and fit when I’m trying on a new bathing suit in one of the Victoria’s secret stores with a great lighting in the changing rooms (hence the selfie), however it’s not what keeps me pushing forward. I have always kept myself motivated by something that really fulfilled me. What makes me excited about fitness today is becoming more flexible, stronger and more athletic than I’ve ever been and push the limits of what my body can do. I have never been able to hold a free standing handstand until this year. I have never been able to do a side split until now. And this is just a beginning. You don’t have to be a professional athlete to feel the thrill of your new athletic achievements.

    Hi Zu…this one is also done today! Good workout, I also did 2 rounds with little extra time to finish the last 10 reps of exercise 5. I did transformers instead of plank rows because I do not have db here. Upper body is getting strong and harder! I am happy! See you, take care.

    73 reps, hanging leg raises i managed although even yesterday while black diamond i though i will not be able to raise my legs up on a pull up bar like i used to before haha, and i did it, slowly (hence the score) but surely
    (did this one after bodyweight beginners #2 – i’m going to try all workouts so beginners as well – i thought if i make it longer it would exhaust me more, but to be fair i got bored with BB#2 and just did 2 rounds as per Zuzka, and went for this gem to get another sweat of the day, love this one i did!

    Did this one after a low impact low body workout. This one tires me out pretty hard. I did 2 full rounds but didn’t do as a time challenge I went a little slower to focus on my form in each exercise.
