I'm so bummed! Got a nasty stomach flu and don't know when I'll be back to WODs 🙁 Still no food intake after yeasterday's WOD and feeling very weak. But hey, not tempted by caffeine 😀

15 rounds + 5 squats, 10rds BPU, 5 rds GPU. No CFSU (tried to crank out an actual Cindy)
What is a crossfit sit up
If you look at the full site she has videos on the right.
Thanks!
I did 8 rounds…I wasn't able to do the reverse pull up, I did modified pushups….not sure what a cross fit sit up was so I did all different types of an exercises. Not bad for a Tuesday morning with my 3.5 month old laughing at me in her swing!
I'm a first time mom trying to get my body back and I am not used to not being able to get to te gym as much as I did before!
7 and 3/4 rounds…used knee push ups
5 rounds gpu only did 10 mins. Hopefully. I can finish rest later
9 rounds
I don't have a bar for a reverse pull up, any substitute suggestions?
I used the rail of my treadmill. So my body was over the track and my legs were out to the side of the treadmill. Hope that makes sense.
Oh, that might work. Thanks!!
I use a kitchen table
8 + 5 pull ups, 10 p/u, 9 squats
11 rounds as rx'd
10+ 1 more round of reverse pull ups
All girl push ups

Instead of caffeine, I am giving up ice cream. Caffeine will come later in the challenge for me 🙂

11 rounds + pull ups, push ups and squats. Rx'd. All boy push ups. It has been a lot of push ups the past 2 days.

Had a rumbly tummy today. 🙁 Did 10 3/4 rounds in 15 mins. Subbed 30 sec plank each round for CFSU.
4 rounds but I only did 10 minutes. I was up all night with 2 puking kids so I'm just proud I did anything at all .Maybe I'll finish the other 10 minutes later but I am exhausted and was starting to do bad form .. no good .
7 rounds. Tricep dips instead of pullups. First round with crossfit situps then all other sets with butterfly crunches. Those hurt me! Boy pushups then last two rounds of boy pushups with knuckles. My wrists were hurting! Not bad for second day!
12 rounds plus 5 assisted pullups.

12 rounds. The sit ups about killed me but I didn't give up. Did upright rows instead of reverse pull ups-couldn't find a suitable spot in my house and couldn't make it to the gym today with sick baby.
Thanks for the motivation. I really enjoy reading everyone's comments.

7
Modified Push Up's (used knees)
Modified Pull Up's (used bands)
I use 'modified' verbiage so that when I actually do the Standard Push Up or the Unmodified, I know that I have made progress. Let's face it… the Unmodified or Standard Push Up is so much more difficult than the Modified W/Knees version… I am getting so much stronger even with the Modifieds! I look forward to doing meeting the Standard! I was able to use the middle band for most of my pull-ups and then had to use the one with the most resistance for the last two sets… I'm less confident in my ability to achieve a 'real' or Unmodified Pull Up. Those are SO Difficult. But, atleast I have, for the most part, 'graduated' to the next band. Yay.
ALSO: I am so excited, my husband agreed to go Decalf W/Me. Yay.
6 rounds…REALLY sore from yesterdays workout so it slowed me down some.
10 but I lost track of time and did 23.56 min. Half reverse pull-ups on weight bar, not working so well so did half window sill push ups.

Got 4 rounds in.
Knee push ups, don't have a bar so I used 3lb weights and did 20 lifts (don't know what you would call them) each round. Also had to do a modified ab work out since I am very recently postpartum, so I did extra of those to. Yep, still feeling the leg burn from yesterday!
Woot woot!

Any substitutions for mom's with separated abdominal muscles after a Csection? Sit ups are not good for diastasis. Thanks
Hi Allison,
I also have diastasis and have been substituting plank. I substituted 30 seconds of plank per 10 sit-ups. I feel pretty good that plank is a good substitute but not quite sure if the exchange rate (ie 30 secs to 10 sit-ups) is accurate.
Looking for some advice (or just reinforcement) on this too 🙂
8 rounds as RX'd + Pull ups and Pushup from round 9
🙂
9 rounds. Who knew sit-ups could be so hard!!
6 rounds- modified push up and dips for reverse pull up.
6.25 rounds.
The good news is that this work out had abs, since almost every other muscle is crying from yesterday. The bad news is that it seems my abs are my weakest link. I did all 20 w/each round but they were ugly, ugly, ugly. I just pray that my form, with all my mods, wasn't harmful.
My head is so clear after I work out. Love it!
8 1/2 rounds. Substituted with upright rows and girlie push ups.
10.75 rounds
subbed tricept dips for pull ups
Almost 7 rounds (just short the sit-ups) Did modified push-ups. Day 2 done!
Timer went off during my 15th round after my 3rd CFSU as rxed. The reverse pullups were the hardest for me. Thanks!! Feels great! 🙂
8 rounds and then 20 min of jump rope with my 6yo
As best I can tell I did 7.5 rounds…had 3 kids running in and asking a million questions even though they had to practically jump over their dad to get to me. Ughhh! I am going to count it as a win because I was very tempted to dive under the covers in this cold and rainy weather.
8.75 rounds.
Girl push ups
Pull ups on treadmill bar (thanks for that idea! )
Sore from yesterday and LOVE IT..
5 3/4 rounds + 5 cfsu…20 min easy jog/walk to work out the kinks.
5 rounds.
10 rounds flat.
subbed pull ups with high pulls
9 rounds all push up on knees. Those sit ups killed me at the end!!
8 rounds. the first 5 rounds were unmodified pushups and the last 3 were knee pushups. still so sore from yesterday! great workout!! i caved on the caffeine challenge today. i was unprepared. I will do better tomorrow.
9 rounds as Rx'ed. I'm still sore from the squats yesterday.
9 rounds with inverted rows on the trx. probably should have increased those reps.
8 rounds + 12 situps. Did upright rows in place of reverse pull-ups. Girl pushups the last 2 rounds.
11.75 one armed girl push us, one armed upright rows
;( Such bad migraine to day..I was lucky to make it out of bed. I will make up on Sat. Wondering if it was set off by no caffeine.
Very discouraged.
7 full rounds. Was hoping for 9 but happy with 7. All you 15 round mamas……Wow. You go girls!!
See ya tomorrow!
9 sit ups short of 7 rounds. Those sit ups kicked my butt!!
Started with a 1.5 mile run and did 9 rounds in 20mi. Substituted upright rows for the reverse pull-ups. Great WOD!
6 rounds w/
-chairs dips instead of reverse PU (no bar)
-crunches/leg lifts/reverse crunches instead of CFSU (still recovering from tailbone injury….but Jenni I did 10 CFSUs with a pillow then started to feel pain, not quite ready yet 🙂
8 rounds as RX'ed
Except:
5th round only 5 Push-ups
6th round only 3.5 PU's
7th round only 5 PU's
8th round only 3 PU's
(Was still feeling yesterday)
Sadly I only did 4 rounds, the timer was at 14:32 when I stopped.
I didn't pull any muscles but those suckers HURT. I hurt in places I have never hurt before. My muscles are so sore that it hurts to roll over in bed at night. How long does it take for the ache to go away?
I used a crunch machine in place of the sit-ups, I need to find a way to cushion my deformed tailbone to complete a simple sit-up.
Also did 60# weighted back pulls (Romanian Deadlifts) in place of RPU.
10 1/2 rounds…got mid way through squats of round 11 when time went off, all girl p/u's, reverse pull ups were struggling in those later rounds
6 rounds.
8 rounds.
On the 7th round of reverse pull-ups I felt something bad in my right underarm/peck area, so I decided not to do those the next round to be safe. On the 8th round I did back flies with 10 lb. dumbbells. And I had :15 left when I was done the 8th round, so I did 6 more flies.
7 rounds plus 10 GPUs, 15 Squats
(had to run outside for the Pull ups each time, so skipped on the 8th round)

Got in 5 rounds with dips subbed for pull-ups, but then the baby woke up 🙁 I think I was on track to do about 8 rounds though.
I finished 8 rounds, I was dying!!!
Forgot to put in yesterdays, 13 rounds minus one set of situps … So sore today!
8.5 rounds. Timer went off right before I started the squats on my ninth round. I did finish the squats and CFSU's to complete 9 rounds. I also did bent over row with 10# dumb bells for the reverse pull ups.
8 rounds with 25lb bar on squats and 6lb medicine ball with situps.
Forgot to post last night.
8 sets in 20 minutes
Exactly 10 rounds, but with 30 lb thrusters instead of rpu's!
Could you please clarify what is intended by "reverse pull ups"? There is no video for it on the site, and a general google search yields inconsistent answers. I presume you actually mean a reverse barbell row (where you lay under a bar or a chair, with legs out, and pull your chest up to the bar or crossbeam of the chair).
Otherwise, are you referring to a non-standard Crossfit pull-up grip? I.e. an underhanded grip?
Rick- I have edited the post to describe what I intended. I am sorry for the confusion. I think that either way, if someone does a reverse pull up under a table or the way I described, they are still getting a workout so it is all good! 🙂
After 2 days of HA from caffeine withdrawals I am catching up..
7 rounds
GPU
7 rounds
no pull up bar so did 15 (boy) push ups, all on toes. love the crossfit sit ups. i can feel them in all of my abdominal muscles.
I also have diastisis (separation of abdominal muscles) after my fourth baby. I saw it mentioned above- is plank the best alternative? This is only day two for me with crossfit mamas and I only have access to it via mobile- so unable to see the description videos and my searches don't bring up anything. Not even sure what a crossfit mama sit- up is! Thanks:)
8 rounds, girl pu, 30 sec plank instead of sit- ups (diastasis)
10 rounds as RXed. Still getting over this junk in my chest. But this was a great workout. No pushups for a few days please!
First day back after having the flu for 3 and a half days.

Since I missed 3 days, I'm not going to skip ahead. I'm just going to do the workouts daily until I catch up. Hope that's ok!
