Mod su because of diastisis and the burpees became modified as the work out went on too…
The last 50 burpees took me 8:40 – JUST the burpees!!! I almost walked away and didn't come back and just took a DNF… But my SUCCESS today is that I did finish and I stuck with it, regardless of a crappy time.
That was the hardest physical challenge I had to mentally push myself through in a very long time.
WTG Running T!! Time means nothing here! I'm saving this one for the weekend, I can bet I will take as long, most likely longer! Lol I second the feelings toward burpees! I like the little quote that says "no matter how slow you are, you are still lapping everyone on the couch!" It's my mantra… 🙂 Keep up the great work!
28:07 boy PU with burpees, mod su (tailbone injury). Almost changed to wall burpees, but I took it SLOW and finished! Feels like a great accomplishment! Thanks for a good challenge!
I am completely new to this and am recovering from a complete achilles rupture (surgery in early May). There really is no way I can do burpees so I'll alternate between squats (10/30/50) and planks with leg extensions (on knees…can't go on toes yet…20/40). Does that sound reasonable? I'll let you know how it goes (and how long)!
agreed burpee hell! 12 yr old son did it with me – 14:07 me – 16:59 BUT I somehow stopped the clock for 30 of the last burpbees so I'm estimating around 20:00??
I am embarrassed to say… I really did try but could not finish this workout… I am hoping it's cause I am still sore from yesterday. This is only my 3rd day in… I promise to keep trying!
This is my first time commenting, I wasn't going to do today's because I just finished teaching a spin class but my 10 year old niece wanted to do it with me. Our time was 32:40, tough stuff!!
Thanks Jen Morse!! You are right – sometimes my competitive brain takes over and I get stuck in the "I'm slow" mindset, when I should focus on the fact that I'm at least doing it and doing my best at it. I like the "no matter how slow you are, you are still lapping everyone on the couch!" – I'm going to use that as my mantra too! Everybody who even started this WOD and put the effort in to try it deserves a pat on the back, regardless of if you finished, did every burpee, modified, or had your best (or worst!) time ever!! This one was tough!! Great job, all! I love this community of support!!
On a side note though, ANYONE that broke less than 20 minutes on this one is a total XFit Goddess to me!!! 😉 Haha!
When I woke up and saw all those burpees I thought, really?!! Couldn't she throw us a bone on Friday and have changed it up!? BUT, I'm glad you did hit the publish button and keep it as is – it's that challenge that makes us strong and makes us feel accomplished!
Ha ha! I want to pick an "easy" WOD every day but I know I won't progress if I don't push myself. Thanks for all your great comments. I love our community of Mamas!
I kinda cheated. I did from 30. I was working out with a friend new to crossfit, and I'm still trying to heal my shoulder. So for 30 sit ups, 10 burpees, 20 SU, 20 burpees, 10 SU, 30 burpees I finished in 8:47. Full and correct burpees the whole time.
Holy crap this was hell. I did the first two sets of burpees with the pushup, but had to drop that out of the last 3 rounds in order to finish. My Iphone (with timer) died toward the end, so I'm guessing on time, but it was around 28 minutes. Not so good, but I'll have a huge window to improve next time it comes up!
See Running T. I told you you'd beat me! 32.48 The only modification in that I did all girl push ups. Other than that I did it as rx'd. Then went for a 10k run. Trying to build my endurance… This was a really hard one! WTG everyone!
I woke up this morning so sore and then I smiled because I knew that meant that I had pushed myself past my comfort level and that made me excited for how my body is changing and progressing! I love being sore because that means it is working! 😉
35:31— I resisted this workout all weekend because I honestly didn't know if I could do it-(- I hate burpees!!!!!) but I made myself today. I knew it would haunt me if i didnt gove it a go. I had to let myself be about finishing with form and drop the competitive nature on time. I have to say I am proud of every second, burpee and situp! I did it!
16:21. That. Was. Brutal.
If I stare at this WOD long enough will it go away?
Guess I better just tackle it…I. Hate. Burpees. 🙂
I am laying here hoping the same thing!
LOL! Do you know how hard it was to click "publish" on this one!?! Dread.
OK….Did I mention I hate burpees? Here is why:

Knee planks not really good alternative. Maybe push ups next time.

Happy Friday – enjoy the weekend ladies!

Doesn't matter that you finish, as long as you know you did your best! Your only competition is you!
I really really hate burpees… amazing to hate something so much that I had never tried before today.
WOW I SUCKED!
I massively modified and still couldnt complete all of the reps.
wow.
You will do this again in a year and look back at this comment and be shocked that you couldn't finish because your time will be so good. 🙂
Keep at it! You can do it!
This is my first time commenting, I wasn't going to do today's because I just finished teaching a spin class but my 10 year old niece wanted to do it with me. Our time was 32:40, tough stuff!!

Boy PU for all burpees….which I have a love hate relationship! I love to see them in the workout and how I feel after them but I still hate them!!
20:03

Only did 10 burpees per round. Totally of 50

26:07 and only did 10 girl push ups!
birthday: 11/9
26 min. Finished the last two sets with sit-ups and push-ups. I hope next time to get all the burpee's in. Ughhhh….Don't give up….right?

Girl pu
Alternated 10 mod to 10 regular burpees
Holy crap this was hell. I did the first two sets of burpees with the pushup, but had to drop that out of the last 3 rounds in order to finish.

See Running T. I told you you'd beat me!
32.48
The only modification in that I did all girl push ups. Other than that I did it as rx'd.
Then went for a 10k run. Trying to build my endurance…
This was a really hard one! WTG everyone!
Far as I'm concerned, anyone who attempted this beast is a ROCKSTAR!
Still a great time Jen Morse!!! 🙂 And you beat everyone still on the couch! Haha!
PS – Who else is totally sore today? My arms and back are achy achy!!
I woke up this morning so sore and then I smiled because I knew that meant that I had pushed myself past my comfort level and that made me excited for how my body is changing and progressing! I love being sore because that means it is working! 😉
20:37 boy pu, while talking with my Dad. Brutal
