     Didn’t quite make to 4 rounds this time. 10 side jump lunges shy. Probably because I just finished Body Crush # 25!

     Haha, I definitely did this once through. I did the JRC+KB #4 with pendulum and side-to-side swings with my 35 lbs. KB. I also had my aerial rope class later this afternoon….but this was a nice warm up for the aerial class!! That is ENOUGH for one day!!

     I like the simplicity of this workout, but it targets quite a lot and side lunges are beneficial movement for me, good for the hips.

   Hi Zuzka!

   Last night my boyfriend was looking at me while I was getting ready for bed and he said “Wow, babe! Your butt was already cute but now it looks fantastic!” I told him he should send you a gift basket haha! 🙂

   I have been doing the Beginner Cardio, Strength and Kettlebell for All Levels workouts for about 6 weeks now and absolutely love the results I’m seeing. I am slowing making more changes to my eating habits and can’t wait for your book to arrive so I can learn more tips from you!

   Thanks for everything, can’t wait to work out with you when I get home from work today!

     That’s awesome!! Isn’t it great to get positive feedback?
     I’ve been following Z for a few years and trust me, it’s addictive: both how you look and how you feel. Plus it’s such a great community– just reading the comments is fun!
     Have a great day! Keep training!

       It definitely gives a boost of motivation when other people notice your results too! Although my boyfriend is very sweet and would tell me my butt looks fantastic even if it was covered in boils… but I’ll take it! Haha 🙂

   Zuzkay please answer this question does it do any good to do a high intensity workout after eating carbs like Christmas cookies I did a 15 minute fat burner this morning but four hours later had some cookies at a Christmas party and came home and did – 5 minute workouts

       Susan, I’m no Zuzka, and I wont be answering this Q as though I was – 🙂
       BUT if I did what you’re asking about, I know I’d be fine. Especially, lately, since I’ve been getting up earlier each day, and after doing some basic stretching, doing 50-70 Swiss Ball weighted crunches, and at least 30 KB swings (20-lb)!! Nothing fancy or difficult, just 5 minutes, twice a day, in addition to my daily ZGYM, I have lost a ton of tummy in ONLY a couple weeks!!!!! Before I do the current ZGYM workout, after work, I do my extra crunch and KB set. I am ABSOLUTELY THRILLED with the rapid results of these two simple changes – because, like you, I eat carbs when I’m happy! .. My obliques and abs are quickly and nicely forming a pretty waistline, and my arms and shoulders are looking ripped. Ladies I work with even commented about it yesterday!! YAY!! LOL!
       The crunches I do are inspired by Z:
       Do a nice backward stretch over the Swiss ball so that you can put your hands into an arch and, if you’re brave, work to lift your body off the ball while in that arch. My wrists appear to be my weak point, but as I keep doing this, I’m getting stronger. After doing that, lay each side on the ball and do a nice side-bend stretch. I’m able to get lower arm flat on the ground and my feet still touch the ground on the other side of the ball. After a couple minutes of this, just sit on the ball with one 10-12-lb dumbbell securely in your hands. ( loss of balance and one could drop it on their face! :O ) Lay back so you’re parallel with the ground, and then sit up and swing the weight in a nice, fluid move to one side, as far as you can comfortably go, while keeping your feet stationary. Alternate sides, and after doing a set number, add a variety of twisting motions. I change it to holding just one end of the dumbbell with both hands and swing it like a sword on each side. I also do a ‘kick’ with it as my elbows are parallel with my shoulders. Keep your back straight and don’t sacrifice form just to get the number of reps you’re aiming for!
       Starting with just 50 one morning, I quickly found I LOVED this change in my day and now – I can’t wait to do it!
       Let your arms and core feel these yummy moves in a way they’ve never had fun with before!
       .. so that’s my core suggestion with carbs, for the day… lol!
       Let me know if you try this! And – if I didn’t have a ball, I’d use a padded ottoman, or, pad a coffee table and do it that way – or – get a Swiss Ball! 😀

         Thank You Tanya yes your reply was helpful and I put my stability ball in the living room and my kettlebell and have done my version of your little mini workout and it is energizing I have recently told myself that I am just a few days away from much better fitness by not eating quite as much by keeping starchy carbs close to my work out only mostly 🙂

           Hi Susan – that’s awesome 😀
           I do similar with my eating, as well. I only workout first before I enjoy something with the carbs. Right now, I’m loving the heaps and H E A P S of snoooooowww we’ve gotten here in the center of Idaho, and so this stretchy crunch I do has been a really great help in getting my arms and core ready for the TONS of shoveling I’ve had to do! I don’t even feel sore after a solid, 1.75 hours of shoveling after work tonight. I made 4, small, yummy garlic-sage toast slices, with organic avocado, homemade goat cheese and spicy red pepper hummus on them – with a glass of red wine, and I feel great. Before I go to bed in about an hour, I’ll do those crunches and the Czech swings with side-step swings, too. I know I’ll sleep better and I’ll also wake up more energized. I don’t know if that’s good for everyone’s body, but to me…. I rationalize it this way – if sex is good all night long (which I don’t get being single), then I’m sure working out right before bed is not going to harm me, WHATsoever. 🙂 🙂 🙂
