When I first watched this one I didn’t think it looked fun and it wasn’t but it was a good workout. :) I did this one on the patio in 81 degree heat after completing ZWOW #16. I used a 25lb curl bar for the overhead squats but after the first minute I put the bar on my shoulders instead of holding it above my head. I used 2 15lb dumbbells for the walking lunges.
U certainly used very heavy weights. I used 5kg over squats and 2x5kg for lunges. Your score rocks!
Marla, do you have before and after photos? How much weight have you lost? How long have you been working out with Zuzka? Great site!
Hey Kim, glad you’re liking the site! In September I posted a before & current photo on my recipe blog, Paleo Porn showing my 60lb weight loss. I’ve been working out with Zuzka since a few years before she split from BodyRock…so somewhere around 2009/2010-ish I think. :)
Tough on the legs. Dripping sweat now.
I used 10 kg dumbell for squats and two 10 kg dumbells for lunges That was a really hard workout for the legs , I loved it .
by this way I will be able to have a stronger legs.
Marla, I love you site!!!! I have been looking all over for someone inspired enough to do a site like this. You are amazing and I love it, having the instructions and video all in the same place as well as a place to post scores rocks, and the timer is ingenious. One question, how do I get the timer to work in my browser? I click on the “load timer in seconds” and it keeps telling me safari can’t open the specified address. Thank you so much for the site!
Hey Lisa! Thanks for stopping by, glad you like the site as much as I do :) and nice work on this ZWOW!
I made an update to the details about the timer. I’m glad you said something because I forgot to mention that the Seconds App is only available for use on an iPod, iPhone or iPad. :)
I use http://www.online-stopwatch.com/countdown-timer/ which works on my tablet. They have stopwatch and interval timer functions. It’s great! I use ‘the clapping hands sound at the end of each interval….it motivates me… ;-)
I used a 15 lbs sandbag for squats and lunges. Also added 2 more rounds to complete a 15 min workout.
I really liked this workout, so simple yet so effective, was breathing hard after 3 rounds of burpees and lunges. The less movements and exercises the more I can concentrate on proper form and I feel it in every muscle.
I used 10dl for squats and 2x10dl for lunges. Thank Zuz
Absolutely LOVE LOVE this site. Thank you! So helpful too with the timer. Just finished this workout. Probably my favorite :-)
Thanks so much Linda! And excellent job on the workout :)
I picked a weight that was too heavy for the squats :( Lesson learned for next time!
I didn’t count the lunges but it was about15 until it got to 10 every round.
Great website ;) Cheers and keep it up!
10 lb ugi for the overhead, 10 lb weights ea. hand for the lunges.
phew
not great, but after 3 days sick and asleep, not terrible, i guess. off to dance!
Legs. Are. Jello.
With lighter weights obviously. 3 kg dictionary for the squats and 3 kg weights for lunges. I didn’t bother writing the score for each round – didn’t want to waste time. It’s an easy workout for beginners, straightforward but it’s a leg/butt killer :-)
same weights as above. Given that I still have the flu, I’m happy with this score for now…
It was so intense!!!
Lunges: 12,16,16,15,14,12,15,13,12,12 and I used 2kg dumbells.
237 lunges!!!! Are you sure? seems like A LOT!
Oh, sorry. Just 137 lunges. I misclicked :)
21/18/17/16/18/15/18/15/15/19
squats with 4kg dumbbells
and lunges with 2x4kg dumbbells
nice workout!
But holy smokes intense workout…. Love the soreness today though( did this yesterday)
8 lbs weights overhead was hard I couldn’t get low for some reason so I switched to 45 lbs sandbag over shoulder. 24lbs per hand on lunges, then eventually dropped to 18, than 15 per hand. I’m drenched!
19/20/18/15/17/14/16/18/18/20
5kg db for squats, 2 x 5kg db for lunges
I can’t get as deep into the squats with my arms overhead :( and could have used a heavier weight for the squats. Killer leg workout tho!!
26/23/22/23/22/20/22/21/22/24
Same weights. Focused on getting deeper into the squats this time over quantity. Love that my 6th round is always my worst, then I can see the end so I manage to push on through! :)
12lb weights for lunges
10 lb for squats & 2) 10s for first 4 round. Last 6 had no weight
Used same weights as Zuzka – 10lbs for squat & 20lbs for walking lunges. Shoulders are very tight though, so had a hard time keeping my arms straight throughout the exercise. And was tempted to cheat by not going down below my knees, but I didn’t. :)
