What is a good sub for Knees to Elbows. We don't have a bar up, but will soon. Tried to look for another place to do them, but not really found one. So any suggestions?
Do them on the floor. YouTube has demo of this.
You can either do them on the floor like Denise said or you can do standing knee to elbows. L-R=1

That was a doozy! 27:09 Trampoline instead of jump rope (it's around here somewhere). Knees to elbows on ground, I think. Can someone send me a link to a video for that? I'm not sure I'm doing it corrrectly.

Had to modify a lot since I'm away from home, but this still kicked my booty and worked up a serious sweat!!
17:38 Left out the back extensions completely and did crunches and floor K2E since my belly is starting to get in the way. Feels good to be back after we all got sick (again!). Great workout!
missm23: that was me just a few months ago! (I just started at the end of Sept) Do what you can and don't worry about it because you'll keep getting stronger and stronger. The times are just for your own reference so you can see how you've improved. Everyone here is so supportive and that's what's kept me coming back just as much as the awesome workouts. Just try today's you'll do great!

only jumped out and in on the burpees, this is the reason for the much faster time, its crazy how much longer it takes when you actually hit the floor. Just did this as an experiment to see how much faster it would be 🙂
and 100 jump rope, since the original says double unders and I suck at them, need a heavier rope I think.
Fun stuff this is 🙂

So, I joined you guys yesterday and I use to do CressFit a couple of years ago. I have stayed active but could not afford them anymore. I was so excited when I stumbled across this and todays WOD was awesome. Did it in 31.24…LOVE IT!!!
28:45. I had no energy and had to take many breaks. I had did 1/2 the burpees then 1/2 the wall balls & repeated that in order to get through the burpees. I did Knees to Elbows with my pull up bar and could only do 2-3 at a time, they were so tough! I made it through the workout and feel great!

Awesome workout, but I was close to being dead after it was over.
Saved this one to do with my husband on his day off – it whipped both of us! 19:23 for me, with thrusters for wall ball shots, 10 lbs for all weights, and K2E on the floor. My legs are dead…
Did it a day late 17:27,
Dived 20# DB for kb swings an K2E were more like knee to waist.
18:24
Can't figure out why I am 5 minutes slower than last time!?! Going to blame it on a bad time of the month. Scapegoat for everything! 😉
Did everything as RXed but KTE were more like KTB (knees to boobs).
31.23 slow slow
HAd to jump rope one leg at a time
Subbed second set of thrusters for wall ball
Had to sub 'step ups' instead of box jumps
I am sorry – but after three
I am sorry to state the obvious, but after 2 kids I am not sure how you guys do box jumps and jump rope without Depends in tow…..good grief..I hate subbing!
25:19… had a cold for days so I finally got to this today. Great workout!
23:42 7 risers each side on step, 15# kbs at end -skipped them accidentally
29:36 this was such a good one!
32:37, while prepping dinner to put in the crock pot before work!

Subbed thrusters w/5 lb. dumbells for wall balls.
K2E on floor.
Box jumps on my 8" step.
Had to keep taking breaks to work on dinner, but I needed the breaks anyway!

Little late posting my workouts this week! This was a killer!
19:34 compared to
14:32 on 8.16.12 and compared to 17:19 back on 1.17.12.
I think I am slower because of the 'proper' burpees and CFSU's … at least I hope that's what it is!
