Taking a cue from Zuzana of Body Rock fame, I am started to venture out on my own and create my own workouts.
Lately I have been feeling a bit of exercise burnout. I know I can contribute a lot of it to my current situation. I am about to graduate from grad school tomorrow and am in the middle of an intense job search. Instead of feeling like I making a full transition though, I kinda feel more like I'm stuck in limbo. I know this will eventually pass, but my commitment and effort when it comes to exercising are taking a hit.
I'm still loving the barre and can't wait to try Asylum, as well as Patrick Godeau's Lean Hot Body (acquired it in a trade), but I feel like a need some extra oomph in my routine. I have been perusing the Body Rock website these past few weeks and am really intrigued by the idea of short, intense body weight workouts.
I have always admired Zuzana, the website's co-creator and face of the site. She has a great attitude, warm personality, fantastic physique, and has held her head high in spite of her past discretions (I won't go there). I also like that with a little hard work and a ton effort, she demonstrates that short and intense workouts are effective.
While I am not following the workouts and the recommended schedules religiously, I am loving all the unique exercises and variations Zuzana and her husband present on their site (and with little to no equipment). Along with diet tips and a supportive community, I have been getting some great information.
Even though Body Rock has been a great source of inspiration, I'm loving the idea of doing it myself. This past week I have been doing my own circuit workouts, similar to the ones on Body Rock, and think I can sustain this type of routine for the summer. Not only is it a great challenge for my body, mentally it has been extremely stimulating and dare I say...fun.
I also am looking to take my body to the next level, which will also be assisted by a great diet. I will keep everyone posted on my progress.
Have a good weekend! Cheers!
