Sunday I went mountain biking, Monday was Bodyweight Beginners #22, then a whole lotta nothin’ tues-thurs. Today I did Beginner Cardio #24. It was fun, but I definitely prefer 1 or 2 round workouts. I’m hankering for some kettlebells tomorrow.
First time in Zgym in awhile. I did beginner strength #13. It went well. I was surprised that I didn't die after such a long hiatus but disappointed in how much upper body strength I’ve lost. I don’t have a set plan for how to use Zgym at this point. Maybe just a few days a week. It seems like it is too much intensity for me for every day.
I was excited to see Zuzka's YouTube video of her and Jesse and the dogs and cat moving from LA to Lake Tahoe. I'm super curious if she's posting new videos from their Tahoe location and what that looks like. I'll bet her video backdrop will be spectacular.
I'm still happily winging it with workouts and posting what I'm doing in my own journal.
I was missing Zuzka this morning so I did 15 Minute Fat Burn #1 followed by her old Cool Down and Stretching routine. It was fun. I love the reverse lunge / front kick / curtsy lunge / side kick combo most of all.
Too funny @skwigg , I randomly did a ZGym Workout today as well. It was a low impact full body workout. I don't remember which one but it was alot of fun.
I randomly did another Zgym workout today. It was a Jump Rope cardio one that I have saved in OneNote (along with other favourite workouts from Zgym). I don't know which one exactly as I didn't make note of that (oops!). It was high knees or double unders alternating with an ab exercise. Tons of fun!
I'm baaaaack!!! I made it about two months without Zuzka, missed her terribly and rejoined ZGYM.
Today, I did Power Yoga #38, which was very mellow and only about 15 minutes long, a perfect stretchy balance combo.
Earlier in the week, I did the new Killer Legs #20. It had lots of good, slow, deliberate ankle weight moves, and then some fun kettlebell and bodyweight.
Yesterday, I did the new Jump Rope Cardio Kettlebell #13 X. It was really fun after not jumping rope or swinging kettlebells in what seemed like forever. It was like, oh, I remember why I loved this.
I like the new studio set. I'll bet it's much easier to light it without the giant window behind her. Though part of me was hoping there would be Lake Tahoe scenery now.
I found a 15 Minute Fat Burn that I've never done before, #24 from earlier this month. It's the new exercise every minute format that I so enjoy. Did that this morning, nothing yesterday, and 12 minutes of Upper Body & Abs Inferno on Monday. I've come back into ZGYM going at a reasonable pace with lighter weight. I can still do most exercises but won't be smashing or crushing anything.
Even though I haven't re-subscribed to Zgym yet, I've been sort of following along with the schedule with the workouts I have written down back from previous forays in Zgym.
Monday I did Upper Body and Abs Inferno 1 - 2 rounds: I love this workout. I've gotten stronger in my vertical pulls! I can actually do the shoulder thingy now without a bench under me for support.
Tuesday I did 12 min Body 18 - 3 rounds - The wall plank mountain climber to jump squat was my favourite.
And yesterday I did Killer Legs 5 - 2 rounds - Killer legs indeed! I'm feeling it today.
I took yesterday off to watch TV on the couch in my jammies with my blanket. Today I did one round of Lifted Butt Series #15 X, which I have no recollection of from 2016, so it was new and fun.
Thursday I did 2 and a half rounds of Body Crush 34. Man that's a fun workout.
Friday I did 3 rounds of Low Impact Fullbody 11. I think this is my all time favourite ZGym workout.
Today I skipped ZGym.
Tomorrow I plan to do something stretchy. I have a bunch of stretchy workouts written out but I'm not sure I'll be able to follow them after being away from ZGym for so long. I'll see what I can do.
So, to recap my adventures, I rejoined ZGYM the same week my left thumb malfunctioned after a game of tug-of-war with the dog. If I do any strong gripping during the day, the tendon in my thumb catches and snaps in an alarming way at night. The good news is that if I don't do pull-ups or pick up weights, the tendon behaves perfectly normally. So, I'm going to have to get creative. Yesterday, I did Beginner Power Band #1, which is a new series this month, no weights, lots of leg lifts. Today, I did Cardio Shred #15 X with no weights. Holy cardio! It did not need weights. I feel sorry for the people who used them. LOL
I ended up skipping Zgym yesterday in favour of a couch and movie day with the family. We watched Mulan which is one of my favourite Disney movies, and the new Lion King. The new Lion King was FANTASTIC. Highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.
Today I did Cardio Shred 15X which I had in my notebook. I used weights lol. I used 10lb dumbells. I was working without Zgym to keep pace with though so I really slowed it down. The part that really felt like cardio to me was the lunge burpees, which I'm not really sure if I did right.
I did Body Crush 24 on tuesday but modified it a ton. Actually, I should probably say I did an ab workout instead haha
Wednesday I did Beginner Kettlebell 10, 2 rounds. I love that workout.
Yesterday I did 15 Min Fat Burn 2x. I couldn't remember what some of the exercises were so I just winged it. Super fun. I love the quick pace of a new exercise every minute.
There's a new Cardio Kick Box series! I was so excited when I saw it. I love kicking and punching and jumping rope. I did the first one and marked it a favorite.
I did nothing for a couple of days. I was busy with life and giving my hand a break. The hand definitely gets worse with less use (?!), so today I did some pull-ups, handstands, and Beginner Kettlebell #11. It's a favorite from way back, basic strength movements and stretchy stuff, no jumping, 12 minutes long. Loved! 💕
Friday I two did rounds of upper body and abs inferno 4
Saturday I did a jump rope cardio and abs workout. Not sure which one. It's my favourite one that I didn't write down the number of.
Sunday I recovered from the 4 hours of dancing I did on Saturday night.
Today I was still feeling blah. I attempted 15 min fat burn 13 but gave up after the first round and instead turned it into a full body pure strength workout.
I did two rounds of Beginner Strength #26 this morning. It was fun but I didn't have the attention span for a third round of the same thing. I went rogue twelve minutes in and did a few kettlebell and dumbbell exercises that sounded fun today. I seem to be enjoying ZGYM 3-4 days per week. Every day feels unnecessary.

@sunshine I can probably describe any weird ZGYM stretchy exercise if you find one where the name baffles you. I had a day of relaxation today.

Nothing yesterday. Today, I did Beginner Cardio #17 at a not-beginner pace. It was a fun 30/15 interval workout with ten different exercises.
