@Mephistopheles I took it off after afew rounds as it was annoying me more than anything else lol.
Absolutely @Jesile
Although I don’t see it humanely possible for me to move any faster through them lol. Maybe if I could have a 30 second break between sets but there was only a 5 second recovery left before jumping into round 13 
My body hasn’t been it’s best this week so I’ll take it. Hopefully back to regularly scheduled workouts next week
I’m amazed you were feeling well enough to give it a go this week! Effort of champions 
Thanks 
I had to have a rib put back in place Wednesday so I was real unsure about this but I suppose the effort is what counts
Whaaaat?! What happened girl?? Girl, I don’t know whether to admire you or call you crazy 
maybe both 
geez you’ve had it rough this week!!!
I remember years ago I was with a trainer and I was feeling shit and unhappy with my performance and he could see I was getting emotional and upset.
He asked what was wrong and I said that compared to the other day, today I totally sucked!
He then asked me, “well when you arrived the other day, out of 10 how were you feeling?” And I said “9”.
He then said, “well, when you arrived today, rate how you were feeling.” And I said “maybe a 6…” and he said “why on earth then would you compare the 2 days?? All that matters is that you’re giving 100%. The result is based on how you’re feeling that day and the fact that you show up and do your best is all you can ask for. Its going to vary day to day. Some days feel shit. Some days rock. But never compare a 9 and a 6!”
I often think back to that conversation. Especially on days where I feel really low, unmotivated, tired etc. If I start to beat myself up over my time, pace or reps I remind myself that I am doing the best I can based on how I feel that day. That’s all that matters. And it really makes me feel better.
Looooooooong story short, you deserve to give yourself a mega high five 
Ouch! What happened?? 11 rounds is amazing for someone that had a rib put back in place a few days earlier!
@Becsta I love that story and it’s so true!!
OK, 11 again. Managed to eek out 6 in the 12th minute, so, I improved. Actually didn’t feel great going in but better pacing saved me. It’s over. Happy Friday!
Wow I’ve just googled about it and that’s really interesting, never knew there was such a thing! Sorry you’ve gone through that though… do you know what the cause of yours was? How were they able to diagnosis it?
Friday is somehow not my burpees day if their ever will be such a day for me. Let alone that I think 11 min is not bad at all.
I’ll see for another day. 
I’ve had discomfort in my neck on that side for at least 8 months. I think it’s because of my posture. When I had shoulder surgery last year (other side) I think I unconsciously changed the way I sit. I went and saw the physical therapist I had from surgery time and she moved some muscles around and massaged them to be less tense then she goes what this hard knob here and I’m like oh yea that’s been there for a while. I’m not sure what it is… she was like ummm… this is your rib. Then she starting putting pressure on it and I’m guessing she put it back in it’s place. I can move my neck more freely and she gave me some stretches to add to the ones I already do.
Challenge done! 
10 rounds! I had 17 secs left, but no energy to start round 11. Next week I’ll give it another try! 
Now the regular challenge + 1 hour spinning class! 
Done after my kettlebell workout. In between I had some peace with that I am not adding any minutes. I am more of a long xyz person. Slowly and steady. Slowly and steady ends around minute 8 
11 rounds done.
Oi @Mephistopheles hope you haven’t forgotten about the burpees this week, because they’re waiting for you
You’ve been getting in a day early every week so I just thought I’d be helpful and give you a gentle reminder 
Ah hahaha must of been a dream come true being greeted with a “good morning, its burpee time 
!!”
Lucky you don’t need a gym to do burpees hey 
Awww wowee awesome effort warrior woman 
Did it after my workout and before the July excercises. It’s good I achieved to take the comparison pressure out. Baby steps.
I’m so proud of you for overcoming comparison!! Great job on that number!! That’s a ton of burpees. It’s all in fun but I’m competitive too so I know that mindset is hard to break.
