Zuzka Stretching

I decided to give you guys a fun 7 day challenge and the chance to win a $50 voucher to spend in my store. The challenge starts on Monday, August 14th, and the winner will be picked at my discretion and  announced on my Instagram account on the following Monday.

Here are the guidelines:

  1. Do only 1 round of the ZGYM Benchmark Workout each day from Monday to Saturday and share your experience daily on your Instagram. You can post a picture of yourself, you can do a video and talk about your daily workout, or you can film yourself doing the workout. It’s up to you, you can be as creative as you want. On Sunday you will do the entire Benchmark Workout – all 4 rounds for time. Don’t forget to make a post about it!
  2. Make sure to tag me (@zuzkalight) and use the #zgymbenchmark so that I can see your posts and check in on you. Only a person who doesn’t miss a single day will have the chance to win. Remember that I won’t be able to see your posts if your account is private and you won’t be able to win.

Some of you are already familiar with the ZGYM Benchmark Workout and some of you have already done this workout a few times. If you don’t know what Benchmark Workout is, you definitely have to watch the video to see all the exercises, and easier modifications. The purpose of this challenge is not to beat my time or even your time. The purpose is to get you move every day and motivate you to want to be stronger and fitter. I don’t care how long will it take you to complete the workout on Sunday, I want to see your journey, and that you are participating.

Don’t be afraid to share if certain exercises are giving you a hard time. I’ll be checking in on you to support you and I’m sure others will too. You don’t have to be perfect, you just have to show up.

I’m really looking forward to see your posts. This is going to be a lot of fun!! Let me know in the comments if you’re in 🙂

P.S.  For those of you who are worried about their privacy,  you guys can create a special ZGYM Instagram account (example: @zgym_IrinaB) that you can use just for our challenges and giveaways to keep it separate from your personal accounts that you wish to keep private.

      Good luck! I’ll be doing this as a bonus too – first thing in the morning, so that I have no excuse 😊

        Good luck to you too! 🙂 I usually workout as a first thing in the morning too, but sometimes I am just too tired after the night with kids that I postpone it after the breakfast to warm up a little bit.

    Dear Zuzka, I miss a lot your suggestion for a second workout to do in the afternoons, I don’t want to bother you but, what can I do to have a suggestion from you? It’s just that you are like my coach and what you say I take it into account so much 😕
    Send hugs and kisses from México

      I don’t suggest to do two high intensity workouts. I suggest to do one of my workouts a day with proper form and without pausing the video. I myself would not choose to put such a load on my body. I’m sorry it’s just not a good idea. However you can choose any Stretch & Tone or Power Yoga workout as your second workout if you really want to follow my advice 🙂

        Ok, of course I’ll do what you say. Thank you so much, I appreciate a lot you replied. You are very special to me because thanks to your advices and workouts, I liked a lot my body for my wedding, and because I love to workout but you have been my best coach really!!! When are you going to get married? Do you have any challenge for that day?? I wonder 🤔 Kisses, Krista
