  1. 13 reps. Single leg step ups on workout bench and sit ups instead of knees to elbows.

  2. 8 reps.

    Would like an answer:
    Those who have the doorframe pull up bar… is there a step between hanging and knee to elbow that you did that helped? My knees are coming parallel to my hips. Do I just need to keep trying and eventually I can do it?

  3. 17 + box jumps and push press
    I measured my step that I use for box jumps and it's only 10" so I'm going to have to find a bigger one.
    Valentine, that is what I do. Jodie recently posted that she has been doing crossfit for 5 months and just recently was able to get her knees all the way to her elbows (maybe she well correct me if I'm wrong). I just figure if I keep trying hopefully I will eventually get there 🙂

  4. Tiffany- it took me about 6 months to get my knees above my waist level and then I watched some instructional videos on YouTube and realized I was doing them incorrectly by throwing my head back. Once I corrected my form, it was much easier and put less strain on my back. Then I was out for over a month and now my knees are back to my waist but I am improving each time I attempt. 🙂

  6. hmmmm, good to know! I have watched numerous videos on how to do them… I guess it will just take time. I just didn't know if there was an in-between step, couldn't find one online so I guess it doesn't exist. They look SOO easy!!! The only difference that I saw on the videos is that I can't let my legs fully extend like they do, I have to keep them bent while hanging.
    Thanks, I will just keep practicing! So if I can't do them by September… 🙂

  7. 10 reps
    Only used 10lbs for push press (dumbbell version)
    And my step is 12"
    Still sweating like a pig! 🙂

  8. 10 reps.
    14 inch box jumps (up 2 stairs)
    25lb push press
    Situps

    I don't have the arm strength to lift my 120+ pound body and do the knees to elbows so I substitute situps instead. Plus being 8 1/2 weeks pregnant, it doesn't seem like something I should be doing anyway. I am going to try to keep doing crossfit until I get bigger, but may do some adjustments to some of the WODs.
