I actually like these kinds of WOD's but OMG they work every inch of my body - LOL!  We did the WOD form the bottom up.  So glad we did because those single jump ropes and burpees did me in but I think I did them faster than I would have if I had started at the top and waited until last. 

 

Not sure why I used the 45lb. bar because I could tell I was already exhausted and I just slowed down even more.  I could only do 7 at a time.  I feel like I needed to be able to do at least 10 at a time if not 15.  I'll be thinking twice or at least asking first next time.

 

I should have done the back extensions without the bar on my neck.  I don't think I bent over far enough due to the weight. 

 

I dropped my weight for the wall balls.  I hit the target about 80% of the time.  I'm bad at making the ball spin and bringing it down to my chest instead of keeping it at the height of my head. 

 

Burpees took me about 10 minutes.  Not a very good time.  I started out trying to do them without letting my knees touch the floor but I didn't succeed.  I did try to concentrate on keeping my feet apart and that did seem to help.

 

I think it took me about 6 minutes to get the 100 single jump ropes.  I was shooting for no more than 5 minutes but I came close just not close enough. 

 

I would like to do this one again in a couple of months and see if I can knock off at least 10 minutes of my time.  Maybe I'll make that one of my new year's resolution WOD's.  I'd like to take 3 WOD's and put goals to them as far as improving on the movements/lifts and decreasing time from the previous time.
