   I started with 4 rounds of 30/5 of high knees and DBUs with a jump rope. I tried to do 4 DBUs in a row with no skip in between, then one skip and another set of 4. Daaaaaaaang that’s hard.

   I used 15.5 lbs dumbbells. Now that I have a pull up bar and a small Swiss ball, I could do this workout as it is written. I completed 6 rounds and #1.

   I also did each pull up starting with my knees raised in front of me so as to ensure I really am pulling all of my weight. I also did not touch the floor, maintaining this position, between pull ups.

   I did full leg raises, instead of just knees.

   Super effective!! Heart rate up, felt challenging, but I felt so much stronger than the first time! I also beat my previous time.

   I finished my workout with 25 Pendulum swings and 25 KB swings two sets, alternating (total 100 swings) using my 45 lbs Beast. And then I did 20 suitcase squats with my 45 lbs KB and my 35 lbs KB, switching sides after 10 reps.

   I used modifications. So for pull up, a row with my heaviest dumbbell 8.5 kg each.

   I love this series, I try to push myself more by alternating between 15lbs and 10lbs. I love my ZGym family and thank you all for helping me stay motivated.

   Yay! I just got my pull up tower put together, and I’m so happy we are starting this again.

   Love this. First time I did 7 rounds 4 but my weights were only 7 lbs. I finally got add-on weights to make my weights 12 and it was a lot harder, in the best way, and I did 7 rounds and half of 3rd exercise.

     Although two days later and my neck still hurts from pushing the 12 lbs over head. I need to lower my weight and watch my form. I love sore muscles except in my neck.

   I don’t have a pull up station, so I can’t do the pull ups or the hanging leg raises. For the leg raises, I hang my butt off the side of the arm of the couch it works well. For the pull ups I just did 10 bent over rows. It isn’t nearly as intense, but it works. One day I’ll get a pull up station! I also don’t have an exercise ball yet. I had one, but it’s gone now. I did plank knee ups and added the pulling the knee up to the armpit move to make it more challenging and I did 12 reps. Great workout! I managed 6 full rounds and finished the leg raises on round 7. Next time, I’m aiming for 7 full rounds.

   Just love this one! I did 7 rounds today. Monday I did 6 rounds plus #1,2 and 4 reps of #3. I warmed up with an old Zcut abs with jump rope to practice and cooled down with some classical stretch and Power yoga #33. I am really in love with this Kinesology stretching you are bringing us. i can tell a difference already. Can’t wait for more!!!!

    Give yourself more credit Zuzka! I think you did way more reps than 93. I’m guessing you did more like 186. I only know this because you definitely lapped me. 😉
