Foot Note

Its important to note that not all of us are on the same "skill level". No one should be discouraged from attempting training on this site. All workouts can be tapered to fit your individual needs based on skill and strength. Here are just some examples/substitutes:

Pullups- Perform jump'n pullups, just double the reps for that round. For jump'n pullups, set up a platform that will allow your arms to go to full extension while your legs are in a 1/4 to 1/2 squat. Jump strong and pull hard!

Pushups- Go from the knees or, set up a bar on a rack at waist height. Lower the bar the stronger your get. Again double reps.

Weighted Exercises- Females generally use 30lbs lighter but this is just a guideline not a rule. Gear the weight to make it challenging, not impossible.

Kettlebells- If you don't have kettlebells, use dumbells instead. If you don't know how to use them, don't!! Buy a book, take class, watch a video (Crossfit, Youtube)

Run/Row- For a guide, 400m run = 500m row

These are just some examples of ways you can change WOD's to fit your training. Be creative and make your workouts fun. Remember, routine is the enemy so keep your training fresh and constantly varied.
