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.

    I made this as a 15 mins workout. 6 rounds, 10kg DBs. My forearms are crying but it was an awesome workout.
    I am finishing with 5min #89 which is also one of my favourite.
    Happy weekend everyone! 😘
