   I like this series already. I graduated from the beginner series at the perfect time for all these new series’ to start 🙂
   I have a doorway pullup bar but I had to do them assisted. I managed 7 rounds but did modify the pushups, and use 8lbs on the dumbells too. My arms were on fire by the end though, I am sure to feel this tomorrow!

   Really enjoyed this workout…I made some of my own modifications because I’m trying to correct my posture and don’t want to work my chest so much. I did bent over rows instead of push-ups after the first couple rounds, and just worked on my weak leg for the lunges. I also used a band for the pull-ups and really focused on using my lats instead of upper traps.
   After doing a lot of Pilates mat and reformer work recently, I’m learning heaps about scapular stability and mobility (both of which many people lack). Some exercises that target the rotator cuff, and specifically help us stretch out our chest and upper and middle traps would complement these upper body workouts really well 🙂

   I did with a fit ball and row instead pull ups. In the end I decided to try row with kb 12kg. Is it a work for shoulders like a work with dbs too? If it’s so, then in next time I will do with kb. I burned about 152 cals, 162/179 HR.

   If you don’t have a ball (in case a child or a cat deflated yours)…you can slide a towel across the floor with your feet in the plank position!

   Love you the workout but how do you manage a pull up!
   I have tried but my legs still hang from the bar 😤

   Hello Zuzka! I did it today morning and it was fantastic! I did 3 pull ups per round as I was using an elastic band as assistance – otherwise would take me ages to complete it :P. I managed to complete 5 rounds and 6 push ups. xx THANK YOU ZU =D

   This was really awesome for sure….. not too many comments here about the workout??? Perhaps folks skipping this one because they don’t have pull up bar or ball? Luckily for me I had these…. I highly recommend the pull up bar you put in your doorway and requires no screws! I really love body weight exercises, but incorporating small pieces of equipment like stool, sandbag, dumbells and kettlebell, etc. are very small investments compared to the benefit of using them. I have recently added a 6 pound weighted vest that is amazing!!! $80 with shipping and you can virtually add to any workout to burn even more calories in a short time. I love following Zuzka in real time on these workouts because it motivates me even more and I’m so grateful to be part of such a wonderful community of WarriorZ!!

     Zuzka is really doing great! I have a weighted vest, but I am not sure if I need it yet. Another option instead of pull ups would be to use a band or belt and wrap around post or door knob and pull that way. Works like a TRX. I am glad i have my pull up bar though as now i will finally use it.

       Hey Tracey….. I think you will love your vest. 6 pounds is so unassuming and when you don’t use it or you take it off mid workout (like I do sometimes), you will notice you jump higher and your endurance is elevated…. so those box jumps will be a cinch… lol.

         I think i will pull it out and try it again. it has been awhile. I get claustrophobic, so it got in the way sometimes. I also do not want to become dependent on it if that makes sense? For example, once i begin using it I will have to use it all the time in order for my workouts to be the most effective. Anyways, sounds like fun!
         I am doing black diamond again today.

           Nah…. you won’t become dependent on it…. your workouts will be effective because of your max effort with or without the vest. You got this girl…..Have fun!

    Loved this strength training! I would love to be able to do the pull ups! I did 5 3/4 rounds only missing the ball roll. Did the pull ups with 1 leg on a chair.
