Rest Day

 APRIL FOOLS!!!

Hero WOD

For time:
50 Walking lunge steps
25 Pull-ups (assist as necessary)
50 Box jumps, 18 inch box
25 Double-unders or 100 jump rope (check out this video of Triple-unders!)
50 Back extensions (Supermans)
25 Bench dips
50 Knees to elbows
25 Wall Balls, 10 pound ball
50 Butterfly sit-ups

I know this is my first time posting double-unders, to be honest, I don’t even know if I can do them because I have never really tried. But I think it is time for some of us to start trying. If you are new and are still mastering jumping rope, you can stick to the single jump roping. Here is a video of double-unders for the rest of you:

They make it look so easy. It is not. Good luck (saying mostly to myself)!!
This WOD is in honor of U.S. Coast Guard Lieutenant Junior Grade Thomas Cameron, 24, of
Portland, Oregon, in training at the Aviation Training Center in Mobile,
Alabama, died on February 28, 2012, when his unit’s helicopter crashed
into Mobile Bay in the Gulf of Mexico during a training mission.

    This is my first WOD ever so I had to do some modifications

    did mountain climbers instead of pullups
    stepped on instead of jumping
    100 jump rope
    had to do tricep exercises since i felt like i wasn't doing bench dip correctly will need to look at that
    tried knees to elbow on the floor
    did thrusters
    had a hard time with the sit ups

    my legs will need that easy run tonight!

  17. 13:59 Tried 5 times to do double-unders, then switched to jump rope. Subbed bench dips for pull ups and k2e on floor. I have got to get a bar!

  20. 24:18. Many muscles shaking right now.

    Pull ups off treadmill arm

    Tried dbl-unders the whole time jumping rope and missed every one.
    K2E from rings for the first time. Yowch! Did 10 K2Armpit and the rest could only do the "beginner mod" which is basically just a knee lift from hanging position. (Hands did not love this exercise any more than my abs did.)
    Subbed thrusters for wall ball shots.

  21. 18:02
    Thrusters instead of wall ball
    Tried the double unders but only did one successfully
    K to E were tough…. Knees to armpits evolved to knees to stomach

  35. No time. Grrrr!!!
    Just April Fools-ed myself invite worst way. You know when you are doing a really hard WOD, like a hero WOD, and you are pushing yourself hard to not take breaks so you can get a good time? And then you go to stop your timer when it is over and you are panting and then you see that it isn't going? THE WORST!!!!!
    As RXed but jump-up pull-ups and KTE were KYBs.
    I did double-unders! I couldn't do them continuously but I did all 25 of them!

  36. 1st day of my 4th 2013 Goal: Start working out!

    12.03, but only 1/5 of the WOD (per doctors orders). He said I can progress by 1/5 if I feel up to it; I'm hoping to be up to 100% of the WOD by the next 90-day challenge!!

    You gals are an inspiration! Hoping my body's ready for this, mentally I've wanted this for months!

    I have been here for a couple of weeks and have a question. How do you all know when you are doing the movements correctly? I don't think my lunges or power cleans are correct, does it come with repetition?
