I did the Beginner KB #13 as well and really enjoyed it. I only had a 14 kg KB in the room so I couldn’t manage the side lunge press, substituted that with something different every time, but I did all the other rounds. The DD stretching was nice!
I'm away from my KBs since were traveling, but I remember loving that one; I love that entire series!
This morning, I did Heartbreaker Body Workout #1 X. I had already marked it as a favorite in the past. It's a great, full-body workout. I love that most of them are twelve minutes long—twelve to fifteen minutes is often a perfect length for me.
I just finished Power Yoga #47. I had marked it as a favorite in the past, and I loved it again this time. It's about fifteen minutes and includes great upper body and core moves.
Today, I did one round of Jump Rope Cardio #12 X. Every exercise is jumpy, even the abs - mountain climbers, plank jacks, plank jumps, and jump tucks, oh my!
I also did some impromptu sprinting today. We were playing fetch in the backyard and Cooper’s ball went sailing over a six foot privacy fence into a neighbor’s yard on the block behind us. It’s kind of a rotten rickety fence. I didn’t want to try to climb it for fear of bringing the whole thing down. Cooper was having a childlike meltdown over his lost ball. I sprang into action and took off running around the block. 🏃♀️ Even though I never run if I can help it, it’s so cool that I can still take off at full speed, hold the pace, and not faint or throw up. LOL All the metabolic training in the ZGYM translates well to real life situations, as do the strength and flexibility. I notice it in other instances, like picking up something heavy at an awkward angle, or after flying up six flights of stairs easily while still breathing through my nose. My training goal is to be a bad ass old person so anything like that is really exciting to me. It’s working!! 😀
Lol, that’s awesome, Skwigg! That’s what I love about ZGYM too. The skills and conditioning really seem translateable to real life, either actual crises or fun things that are also cool to show off to people.
I did S&T Cardio #15 today. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to really go slow and work out the stretches (which I could’ve used since I failed woefully to do many of them well). Hopefully some day.
It's getting harder to find the end of this thread. It was only showing 5 pages. I had to go to page 5 before it showed page 6.
I did 15 Minute Fat Burn #16. It's a fun one. I like the archer squat side-to-side. Archer squats are kind of like pistols in that your center of gravity has to be more forward than seems sane, otherwise you just land on your butt.
The same thing happened to me with the thread. I wonder why it's doing that?
I did Upper Body and Abs Basics #1 this morning. I marked it as a favorite in the past and have done it multiple times since. I love that all you need are two dumbbells, there's lots of variety, and it's twelve minutes. I went ahead and did two full rounds because I enjoyed all the moves.
I did Beginner Strength #11 this morning. It was four rounds. I don't mind rounds if all the exercises are fun and none of them fry my central nervous system. I love the Beginner Strength series for basic strength at a reasonable pace.
I think I figured it out. If you click on the >> instead of a page number, it will take you to the last page.
Today, I did Jump Rope Cardio #17. It's 12 minutes of interval training, alternating jump rope high knees with body weight exercises. It was fun to do one that was pretty much pure cardio.
Good to know, [@skwigg]!
We made it back to Japan. I missed my KBs while away, but I also woke up tired and jetlagged while at the same time feeling crunchy from being on a plane so long. I did Beginner KB #14 and it was just what I needed—enough to get the movement I was craving without being too much. I used my 12kg bell.
Zuzka is wearing shoes in this week's new workouts. I wonder why? She has me so used to training barefoot that shoes seem odd now.
I did the new Bodyweight Beginner #21. I liked all the lunges and step-ups. It's a nice lower body workout with just a little bit of core. I did a couple of chin-ups and some handstand shoulder taps afterward.
It is interesting, [@skwigg]. I did the new Killer Legs #14 today. I noticed she had shoes on, but it made sense because she was jumping a lot without a mat (which is a time when I still wear shoes, too...even though I go barefoot in some other workouts).
However, once I read your comment, I went to look at the workout you did. It didn't have jumping AND she had a mat—so there goes my theory. Someone asked her about it in the comments on the Killer Legs workout, so maybe she'll answer. 😊
This month's newsletter had a coupon code good for the next 30 days to try ZGYM for $1. It's normally $9.99 a month. The code is - goals2019
I did 5 Minute #65. It was a random pick. I didn't love it. It's one of those where the weird combos mean you spend half your time flipping over or turning around. The transitions are as time consuming as the reps. So, I did the first round with her and then I went rogue with more basic exercises where I could crank out the reps and get a burn.
After signing up (thanks again @skwigg !) I did Jump Rope Cardio #14. LOVED it. It was jump rope alternating with ab exercises in a 50/10 work to rest ratio. I had to modify the knee tuck to one leg push-up and Santana push-up because I've lost my ability to do full push ups.
Great to see you in here, [@sunshine]!
Today, I did Stretch and Tone #60 from the intermediate schedule. I marked it as a favorite in the past, and I really enjoyed it again today. It had lots of fun yoga moves.

I copied @Tonya and did Power Yoga #47. Yowza!!! My triceps were on fire. Great core exercises too.
I just did 15 Minute Fat Burn #15, mostly undisturbed. It was really fun! I slept all of an hour overnight so I needed something to wake me up.
I feel you, @skwigg! The dolphin move got me!
Today, I did Heartbreaker Body Workout #4. It was nice, but my heaviest power band snapped on me! :(
