Just a quick question: when we do workouts like this are we supposed to do it one exercise at a time or is it ok if we break them up? (ie do 15 pushups and 15 leglifts etc)
19:04, that one was difficult for me. Still working with light weights, so I've got 13 lb weights for the squats, and I dont have a pullup bar, so I do K2E on the floor holding my boyfriend's ankles.
Just a suggestion, why don't you let your community take on the birthday responsibility? If each of us posted 'It's my Birthday!' after our time ON our birthday, the rest of us could then do the appropriate birthday wishing. Just a thought- and i certainly wouldn't give up WOD just because I don't get a 'Sarah' workout! You're doing a great job, I really love this blog.
20:31 K2E on the floor Jacks instead of rope I didn't know if I was going to be able to do all 50 leg lifts. My legs felt like they weighed a TON by about 25 but I finished and feel so good about it.
18:15 My two oldest did it with me and pretty much stayed with it the whole time!
I'm with Ruth Anne, so scared of box jumps! And those leg lifts, yikes.
Too bad about the birthdays, but I understand that you're a wife and mother before you're a CrossFit Guru. Thanks for keeping up the site, it is amazing! This is my third week and I can tell I'm getting stronger.
Thanks for the workouts Jenni! I'm so glad I found your page. The workouts are quick and different everyday, and I'm so glad I have been able to stick with it!!
15:48 with K2E on the floor and 20 lbs for the squats. Don't worry about the birthdays! I'm just grateful your announcement wasn't that you couldn't do the blog anymore. This is my third week and I love it!
16:56 I am out of town on vaction, so I used what I had acess to. K2E on floor, box jumps on playground bench, and no weights for squats. Didn't get a chance to do yesterdays WOD because of traveling hoping to do it Saturday.
16:28, but I stopped the timer to answer the phone, and then forgot to start it again right away. So that time is a little off. 🙂 20 lb squats, and my KTE's were a little higher this week! And having no birthday workouts gives me the freedom to name every workout "Stefanie." Thanks Jenni!
18:34. Couldn't get my knees all the way to my elbows, so I modified. Did step-ups for box jumps, still too new at CrossFit to be brave 🙂 Used 10 pounds on squats. Had to modify leg lifts because I have a torn muscle in my stomach. Still feel good about the workout though.
I agree with the others that posted – no worries on the birthday!! It was fun while it lasted and I will do my birthday workout in honor of myself next July when it finally comes around 😉 LOL!!
More important – a growing community is awesome!! We all should send a big shout out to Jenni for all she does!! She is the Mama Guru!!
I agree with everyone else!!! You are absolutely amazing Jenni!! Thank you for your time and effort! 🙂
btw my time was 10:41:)
I did jj instead of jump ropes. I did modified k2e because I do not have a bar I can use right now. I did high knee slaps because it is raining outside. I used 50 lbs for the weighted squats 🙂
Glad to hear you are just cutting birthdays, I was so afraid you were going to say you couldn't do the daily WOD's. So appreciative of all your hard work, Jenni. Thanks a million!
23:03. I'm still so much slower than everyone, and I'm an athletic person! Don't know what's wrong with me! KTE felt better today. Box jumps on 2 steps were hard. Love the WODs. No worries on the birthdays.
I was thinking I was going to read you weren't going to be posting the WODs anymore! Thanks for all the time you put into your blog and helping all of us Mamas get into shape! The birthday shoutouts were fun while they lasted!
Carolyn, on the being slower, i found at first, i was thinking i was doing good and fast, but realized i was still in the same old rythm i used to do excercises with tony horton on p90x. once i really thought about doing squats, etc as fast as i possibly could i saw a difference in my times. just a thought in case maybe you also were used to a traditional excercise rhythm.
18 min. K2e on floor, 12in box, mod crunches for sit-ups b/c of diastasis. Loved the variety today. Was intimidated at first, but feeling good that I pushed myself!
22:55. Pretty much all modified. First attempt at a crossfit WOD. Sit ups and push ups were on a ball. I stacked my step on a riser and put it on the treadmill for more height. Pretty hard, but that should get me somewhere better. Thanks!
16:43 – I snuck in just in time for the bdays, but although I've only been following a couple days if it wasn't for finding this blog I'd probably never have started Crossfit – SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
those situps sucked after yesterday, and I did k2e on the floor but it still seemed off and squat jumps for box jumps
This was the first day I finished each exercise before moving on. I usually split them up into 3 or 4 segments. It was harder this way, I think that's the point, right?
Thanks for doing this blog, Jenni! I really love these workouts.
16:10. Going to have to start doing WODs at night after putting DS to sleep – he keeps waking up in morning when I work out and it's making it impossible. So, will have to do some mods to compensate for not being able to go outside (good practice for upcoming winter, I suppose!)
Mods: 25 XFit situps then 25 "pop ups" (diastasis mod) Simulated jump ropes (ceiling too low for real ones) Step ups 30# squats (heaviest weight I have – but 30# was plenty!!!) 10 leg lifts, 40 "pop ups" (those are killer!!)
16:20- My K2E are really just hanging knee raises…one day I will be able to go all the way up. I have to jump down from the bar many times because my grip gives out. Didn't think I was going to be able to finish all the box jumps but I am glad I did! I had to do girl pushups after the first 10 boy pushups.
Jenni- So glad you didn't say you were stopping WOD's ….I am a week and a half in and I LOVE IT! Thank you for your dedication to this blog!
15:50. Sub jacks for jump rope and my knees to elbows were….lacklustre and generally lacking. I have a hanging board for climbing so my grip gives out pretty quick. Also used 25lbs for the squats- thats all the weight I have!
Just a quick question: when we do workouts like this are we supposed to do it one exercise at a time or is it ok if we break them up? (ie do 15 pushups and 15 leglifts etc)
Queen BeeBerta said it perfectly. The goal is to try to finish each exercise before moving on to
the next, but if you completely burn out on an exercise and need to move on and come back to finish, then do that.
17:11 as RX'd. This was a fun one!
14:37. I think It's awesome that this community has grown so much. No worries about the birthdays. Congratulations on such a successful blog!
I agree, no worries on the birthdays. Just don't quit giving us a WOD!:) I LOVE it and look forward to it every single day!
Leah Sullivan – I'm new here, but I believe the goal is to do them all at once. I break them up, but can't wait for the day when I won't have to!
19:04, that one was difficult for me. Still working with light weights, so I've got 13 lb weights for the squats, and I dont have a pullup bar, so I do K2E on the floor holding my boyfriend's ankles.

I completely agree!!!
16:21. Reverse crunches for knees to elbows.
15:45 box jumps: 25 on 2 steps, 25 on 1 step. I'm scared to death of falling with these, but working on overcoming my fears!
Oh, and I did my weighted squats "kettle ball style" with a 40 lb dumbbell.
17:48
with weird knee raise things instead of k2e, jumping jacks for rope and 45lb squats
Thanks QueenBeeBerta! I did them like that today 🙂
Ha ha! My knees probably only actually touch my elbows on the first one!
15:41 leg lifts instead of knees to elbows
Sooo sweaty! "Sweat like a pig to look like a fox!" ?
20:31
K2E on the floor
Jacks instead of rope
I didn't know if I was going to be able to do all 50 leg lifts. My legs felt like they weighed a TON by about 25 but I finished and feel so good about it.

Carolyn, on the being slower, i found at first, i was thinking i was doing good and fast, but realized i was still in the same old rythm i used to do excercises with tony horton on p90x. once i really thought about doing squats, etc as fast as i possibly could i saw a difference in my times. just a thought in case maybe you also were used to a traditional excercise rhythm.

Chris:
11:08
80 lb sqauts
Subbed more squats for push-ups.
This was the first day I finished each exercise before moving on. I usually split them up into 3 or 4 segments. It was harder this way, I think that's the point, right?

16:10. Going to have to start doing WODs at night after putting DS to sleep – he keeps waking up in morning when I work out and it's making it impossible. So, will have to do some mods to compensate for not being able to go outside (good practice for upcoming winter, I suppose!)
Mods:
25 XFit situps then 25 "pop ups" (diastasis mod)
Simulated jump ropes (ceiling too low for real ones)
Step ups
30# squats (heaviest weight I have – but 30# was plenty!!!)

Nice work out!!

Didn't think I was going to be able to finish all the box jumps but I am glad I did! I had to do girl pushups after the first 10 boy pushups.
