Difficult Workouts to Make You Proud

Burpees 

Here are some difficult workouts that I have done. You definitely feel the burn while you are attempting the work out as well as the after burn. The best part about these workouts is that you feel great after you are done. You feel as if you have accomplished something difficult. It always boosts up my self-esteem. I urge you all to try one of these especially with a buddy to keep you motivated.

Jenny's WOD:
 This is my own creation, but it was really difficult and had my body shaking towards the end. 
  • 200 mountain climbers 
  • 60 squats
  • 20 burpees 
Repeat whole cycle five times! 

Murph- Famous Crossfit WOD 
  • Run 1 mile
  • 100 pull ups
  • 200 push ups
  • 300 squats
  • Run 1 mile
For the middle section, I recommend breaking it up into five chunks. Do 20 pull ups, 40 pushups and 60 squats five times. The run at the end is difficult but if you push through it, you can do it! If you cannot do full pull ups then do jumping pull ups. If you cannot do regular push ups then do hand release push ups. Here is a good example of how to do hand release push ups.
