Say you are this person looking forward to begin a workout routine that is tough, uses less machines, and is not sluggish and boring that you stop working out after a month or earlier because you were so bored out of your wits and saw no desirable changes in your body. I don't know about you, but I am that person. I am that person who looks out for a good fitness routine that I actually enjoy doing, is least expensive, more private, and are short daily routines so I can effectively use my short spare time to see results, or at least see that it is going in the direction of desired results. Now, some of you might agree with all the above requirements I have given, or might think all these requirements together might not be possible without leaving out some. Like, how can least expensive and private both be satisfied without an expensive home gym, or a gym membership that kills privacy. Well, the solution is to just do a very simple google search, or youtube search for, "home, no weights workouts." 1000s, 10,000s, millions of links will pop up leaving you overwhelmed, but be very little patient and browse around few of them and you will definitely find one among them to be Zuzana Light's workouts. Of course once, you've found her, you've found Light, not Zuzana but, the enlightment path to inexpensive, tough, short workouts that show results. And then you can follow through that same lit path, leading to her website http://www.bodyrock.tv, which has more bright Light!
What I really like about her workouts other than the fact that they satisfy all my requirements is that they are very inspiring. Inspiring how, you may ask? She is inspiring because most of her videos are unedited pieces, i.e. they don't sometimes hide the fact that she is tiring out, feeling out of breathe, and finding it hard to continue. To me, when I watch her workouts, I see that she is perfectly fit, and pretty strong. But still, seeing her tire out during some workouts makes me think how much harder is she pushing given her already high fitness level. So, I am inspired and challenged to push as hard as I can at my current fitness level, hoping to improve it until I get to her level, or go beyond. In fact, I read sometime recently on her blog that she is challenging herself to another level of fitness by starting to train in Capoeira, which is a Brazilian art form combining martial arts, sports and music. Watch this clip to see how physically challenging this art form gets, though it looks elegantly smooth and light in motion.

She has great, valuable tips to share with her viewers all the time regarding workout routines and what to eat. One such example that comes to my mind is when she talked about how it was not her "cheat" day yet, and she was going out to dinner and have some desert as well. She advices a good work around for this, and the advice is to do a quick 4 minute high intensity workout, after which you can eat anything within the next two hours.
I follow most of her workouts, esp. the ones for abs, back, and the high intensity training routines. She is a great fitness trainer, advisor, and advocate of using bodyweight for training. In fact, I need to mention her husband Frederic Light as well here, who also shares his opinion on fitness and maintains their website.
By saying what she always says, "No more excuses for not working out", I think, she hits the nail on the head driving the point straight home.
