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.ย The challenge starts on Monday, August 14th, and the winner will be picked at my discretion and ย 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 forgetย 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 ๐Ÿ™‚

P.S.ย ย For those of you who are worried about their privacy, ย 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.

    I’m not on Instagram, so posting here. time 5 minutes 13 seconds. I’ve done this workout several times in the past, and sometimes my form gets sloppy because I’m so worried about the clock. Today I focused on form. I did this after SS #20. My legs are on fire. Thanks Z. fun challenge.

    Day 1: Done!!! for 6:32 this morning before work. ๐Ÿ™‚ It feels great. The only thing is that, I can’t still do a regular pistol squat so I modified it with one leg folded down and tap that knee on the ground and come back up again. ๐Ÿ™‚ This was my 2nd workout and posted on Twitter and I just realized it should be in Instagram, oops!!! Gotta upload it later there when I get home. ๐Ÿ™‚
