   Hello Zuzi, maybe there´s something wrong on my side but when I click on your new blog ” Watch For a Cause” I can only watch the latest 5 minute workout:-)

   This is totally one of my faves! Great workout! I have been so sore from Bodycrush and Benchmark this week..that I had to try to push through the soreness and loosen up my body- so I did 5 minutes of Jump Rope to warm up and then 3 rounds of this. Thanks Z! Looking forward to Kettlebell workout tomorrow.

   and, I agree with Gabriela, I loved the jump tuck/rockstar jump..because we stayed upright I was able to focus on the form of both and pushing myself. I did 20 of each to finish off the workout.

   I always repeat these little workouts 3-4 times to make them 15-20 minutes long. I just don’t want to waste that kind of creativity for 5 minutes of a workout. Love, love, love them. Thank you, Zuzka, they’re real gems!

    Zuzka, I have a question about workout earned meals.
    Do you consider those 5-min workouts enough to earn carbs for the next meal? And what about Power Yoga?
    It’s been a while since I’m wondering about this. 🙂
    Thanks.

      Oh and nice workout by the way. Hated jump tucks into rockstar jumps. 😛 They made me out of breath!

      I’ve been wondering about this too. Anyone want to jump in and help?

      Power yoga is not intense enough to be considered a workout that would earn your carbs, but these 5 minute routines are if you are really pushing yourself at your maximum capability and making sure that your heart rate is really up there the entire time. You can do a talk test to see if you’re really pushing yourself. You should be barely able to count your reps out loud. If you can talk and put together a sentence, then you’re not pushing hard enough and can’t count these workouts.

        That makes a lot of sense. Thanks Zuzka and thank you too for your site…I love it and it is helping me to live the healthy lifestyle I want for myself.

        I was wondering if your two hour window to eat carbs ever works the other way as well. If we eat carbs can we turn around and do a workout within 2 hours to earn (or should I say burn) those carbs? I know ideally you want us to earn them first but sometimes that just doesn’t always happen 🙂

        Thanks so much for answering! Really happy to know about that. 🙂
        This morning, I did 5-min 30 and 31, and it was very intense, then I’m sure I deserved my carbs.

        Hi Zuzka,
        I want to thank you for all your effort in offering so many awesome and effective short workouts.
        After trying so many things during the last years I ended up with you and your workouts. I am not intending anymore to get into the best shape of my life – which I tried for so many years combined with getting challenges on health grounds on and on – I just want to stay like I am now and stay fit as long as I can.
        I did classic ballet, aerobic (as presenter) and fitness since I was a young girl. After my father died a few years ago I got the desire to do much more sports on a much more intense level than before. So I started with Matt Roberts and did a program of 12 weeks (without excuses), than I wanted to become more lean and elegant and started programs with Tracy Anderson combined with some workouts of Matt Roberts and runnings and so on. But I was still not satisfied with my body and my shape and wanted to have/do more. So last year in spring I started a 15 weeks sequence of freelethics which was the hardest program I ever did!! After almost 15 weeks pushing myself from one best time to the next I definitely reached my personnal limit getting difficulties with my hormons and a lot of challenges due to that. I needed to pause for months to deal with this.
        But I did not feel comfortable without sport and workouts at all. So I searched for a way to get fitter again and doing workouts on level that I can stand every day without negative physical consequences – and found you:-)
        Actually I am doing your 5 minutes workout (plus warm up and cool down) every day since February. I feel much better indeed and having the feeling as if I am able to proceed like this for many years from now slowly getting fitter and maybe loosing some fat as well.
        My “problem” is that I am very ambitous and very often I ignore what my body needs pushing myself a bit too hard to reach my goal. The result mostly is that I am totally exhausted and hardly able to do my daily work.
        Your short and effective workouts help me staying in a moderate mood. I am 45 years old having a full life with three almost adult children, a job, busy husband, house, cat and garden 🙂 and I skipped the goal to get below a certain percentage of fat. Now it is fun to do my sport sequences on a daily base so that I can proceed like this – hopefully forever 😉
        Thank you so much for your work indeed!
        I wish you all the best,
        love,
        Indra
