15 Minutes to Fit: The Simple 30-Day Guide to Total Fitness, 15 Minutes At A Time Paperback – Illustrated, December 29, 2015

I've been following Zuzka for around 5 years. She has always been such an inspiration - tough women with a big heart, helping us get fit. My only problem has been that I would end up watching her videos rather than exercise according to them.I have always been fit and strong so I didn't have to care too much about my figure. This has changed once I moved to America - in my eyes, I became so fat, the bad food that you get here (GMO & sugary) made me feel so sluggish. I piled on around 25 lbs. I wouldn't stick to a program for long enough.When I saw Zuzka's book, it reminded me of those times, not too long ago, when I was happy with my life and the way I looked. I ordered and it has been the best decision ever.Now, I have read health books and magazines but this one is so different. I love how Zuzka simplifies the concepts that are so hard to understand from other sources. Her explanations are so easy! I love it and actually remember what she said. Reading the book has been an insane pleasure.She also has great sense of humor. Some of the things she says in the book made me laugh so hard!"I'm sure products like Top Ramen and Twinkies have a half-life that rivals that of radioactive waste."(Talking about drinking water) "the human body is made mostly of water .... Not soda".These are just some highlights.This book really made me wanna exercise. I always think about the fact that it really is just 15 minutes. First 5 go OK, another 5 I'm dying, last 5 I'm telling myself to push as it's almost over. I noticed changes the very next day in my mood and my belly seemed to shrink a little. In a week I could tell the difference and now after more than 2 weeks I'm starting to like the way I look again. I don't do these exercises every day but I decided to be active every day as Zuzka proposes. I do some dancing workouts, biking, running and it works.I am so excited to see what will happen when I'm done. It's a 30 day program but as I stick other activities in between, it will probably take me around 45 days.When I started exercising, it was so overwhelming and I got tired so fast, my heart would beat rapidly. It still is a lot of effort but I feel greater ease with some exercises. I feel how my fitness level is coming back to normal. I love that! I'm young and want to feel young!Every day of the exercise, there is a nice inspirational thing Zuzka tells you. I love that, it keeps me going and pushing.Recipes: I've never cooked according to books. This is the first time and why? Because this is the first time that the recipes look so delicious. I tried a few and I love them. My favorite so far is cauliflower, quinoa and chicken with an awesome dressing! It's mostly those wonderful dressings that make her foods taste so good! I love it. I love that I'm trying to use new ingredients that I haven't heard of before and I'm excited to try more meals in the future. I love how Zuzka divides the meals into those you can eat anytime and those that are workout earned. It actually forced me to exercise once when I wasn't in the mood because I wanted to try that food so badly.Conclusion: if you are serious about losing weight, if you've been sitting on the couch for too long now and are tired of being tired with life, go and get this book. It WILL HELP YOU!!!! :-) don't be afraid when you are drained after your first workout. I promise it will get better during the week! :-) the workouts are only 15 minutes, you can do them, you will end up loving them, you will end up loving yourself (2 weeks in and I actually feel it!!!!), you will be proud of yourself after every single workout and every single meal that you made.Zuzka thank you for making it easier for us to get back in shape. Ďakujem a obdivujem Tvoju energiu!

I can't express how much I love this book. I've been following Zuzka since she was with bodyrock, but got turned off when she left and the workouts started to require equipment. I found her on YouTube, but it was difficult to sort through all the videos and stay on track. Since then, I've tried various other programs, including BBG and Beachbody, but never got the results I wanted and felt the workouts got boring.Then I found this book!This book is honest, easy to read, very informative and explains how to stay motivated and set realistic goals. It's not a quick fix, but a healthy lifestyle that Zuzka makes attainable.The crazy intense short workouts make me sweat and curse, and I love it! The short duration allows me to focus more on my diet using her recipe chapter (I'm in love with the gluten free biscuit recipe as well as the zucchini fries!!!) I've tried a lot of diets; but her workout earned meals and free meals make sense and are already showing results after 2 weeks even though I have not done a workout every single day. Recipes are easy to follow and yummy :)Just remember: the workouts are no joke! They will make you sore for days after! Good for beginners too since you can modify the really difficult excercises, like pistol squats. I highly recommend going to her website and watching each video of the move before you do your workout to make sure your form is right. I also recommend her warm up and cool down routines on her website too. Get this book! You will not be disappointed!

Been waiting for Zuzka's book for ages and so happy to have it. Very clear and easy to follow exercises. Great fitness and strength workout.

I stumbled upon this book at our local library as I was looking for exercise books. I had just had a baby and not a lot of time to exercise. I started doing it. I had never really done these types of exercises so I felt a bit confused on how to do them at first even when looking at the pictures and reading the instructions from the book. But then I found her exercise videos online. After doing it for 30 days and loving it I got my copy. When buying the book you get access to her how-to-do exercise video library which is super helpful. I have done the 30 -day routine over and over since December. I have gotten stronger and faster. I used to only be able to do the exercise routine of the day one time in the 15 minute bracket. By now I can do it 3 times on most cases. I have lost weight and my my body is getting toned. I can feel my abs now and my thighs and arms look so much more toned and firm. I have even been asked by people if I work out! how cool is that?! I had never really done weights or strength exercises before. My main exercise has been running. I highly recommend getting the book and get it done. The beauty of this is that it's only 15 minutes a day. That's it. If you do it consistently you will see results. You can do it anywhere! inside, outside, your office, on travel, etc. I do the routine at least 5 times a week, preferably 7 days a week.Thank you Zuzka! I also like the book a lot. She's very positive and has great fitness tips in there.
