    Was just thinking last night that its been a while since we did burpees and was wondering if they get any easier. They were easier today, but still not fun!!

    Ran 7.6 miles (77 minutes)
    Then
    20lb thrusters
    Girl push-ups for bar burpees
    Counted down in reps… 35,30,25,20,15,10
    =10:10
    Don't know if that was just a hard workout or if I was just exhausted from the run. Either way, that was a good tough & sweaty workout. 😉

    I had finished the first 3 rounds and was just getting started on my 25 burpees when balloons (from yesterday's birthday) started getting sucked into and tangled in the fan! It took me 1:58 to get not even halfway through the wod and 15 minutes to untangle the fan…

    What are bar facing burpees? Do you do a burpee and jump over a bar when u jump upthen turn and go back over? That would be aweful! They are already hard enough!

    Why do I still get caught off guard by the hero WODs? I thought this one looked relatively easy. HA! 20:04! I'm sure I have the highest time today.

    I'm not in my cool basement anymore…it was about 78* in our temp quarters this morning, and I always suck in the heat. I did a lot of stopping to breathe (light-headed). I was seriously wondering how badly my 5 year old would freak out if I passed out. We might have to have a talk.

    But I did it!

    PS I would have to think that doing the counts backwards is not the same things as doing them forwards. Much like Jenni encourages us to do the sprints & rests, thrusters, etc as rx'd. Doing more when you're already tired is the point. Just my two cents.

      You don't need a bar, just a line on the floor. I have used a broom, tonight I used my sons crutch because it was already laying close by. You can tape a line on the floor or use anything!
