Enjoy this summer bikini fat burning workout and I will see you again tomorrow in ZGYM in Summer Shred #18. Don’t feel bad about doing only a short workout on Friday. If you’re following my schedule and doing high intensity workouts 4 times a week, then you deserve 3 easier days in between. If you really feel like having a longer workout, then do another one of my 5 minute routines.

Just make sure you’re being nice to yourself. You’re not allowed to give yourself anything less than a positive pep-talk. I won’t stand for any self haters. Sometimes I come across women who exercise daily at a super high intensity, and not because they love it, but because they hate themselves. They hate their own bodies so they feel like the daily vigorous exercise will fix that. It won’t. Not the way you feel.

If you you recognize yourself in this, I want you to take a deep breath, try to calm down and start with a positive self talk. Stop yourself anytime you start saying bad things to yourself about you and your body. Change those condescending words into words of encouragement, and I promise you’ll see a faster progress. It’s been proven that stress can negatively affect intentional weight loss and fat loss. The stress that we experience can be sometimes created by us and the way we talk to ourselves so be careful about every word you tell yourself, because words do matter.

    I love all the ballet moves, and the ballerina squat was challening for balance purposes! I marked this as a favorite and did it twice. I am feel like a noodle after yesterday’s Monster KB workout so this was perfect!

    Thank you for the workout and encouraging post, Zuzka! It’s so good to remind ourselves that we awesome, and we are working out for OURSELVES not someone else. It’s easy to get discouraged and compare ourselves to others or just feel hopeless if we are not reaching our goals as promptly as we would like. I hope you and everyone have a wonderful Friday and weekend! XOXO

    This was lovely! I used a 15 lbs dumbbell and my power band for #3. I also used my desk (about hip height) for #1, 3. Very enjoyable. I love all the ballerina elements. I did this for 15 minutes. I also did 5 min #57. I’m doing that one once a week. ๐Ÿ™‚ Honestly, this amount of high intensity, especially mostly bodyweight/lightly weighted, is not draining for me. ๐Ÿ™‚ Even on a daily basis. As a student, I need/crave that intense physical movement!!

    “Sometimes I come across women who exercise daily at a super high intensity, and not because they love it, but because they hate themselves. They hate their own bodies so they feel like the daily vigorous exercise will fix that. It wonโ€™t. Not the way you feel.”

    Like the body, the mind also needs trainning, it takes a lot of effort to unlearn bad mental habits built up till today. Zuzka often said, it takes perseverance and consistency to see the changes appear: you have to train and stretch every single day (not the same intensity of course) to see results.
    But you have to train your mind as well as your body because your mind is giving orders to your body !
    Everyone knows that we do not become athlete in 24hrs. Yet too many people imagine that the mind is capable of such a feat. For the mind as for the body, daily training is necessary to become the person you want to be.

    Great “off” day Zuzka! Thank you for keeping us moving and healthy every day! It’s hard to do less but my body does best and I actually look forward to taking it a bit easier and then I’m super ready for a tough wo the next day. I feel SO good after a tough wo but I’ve noticed my body is happiest with a couple lighter days mixed into the week. Happy Day!
