but I've started to push back on running and burpees. They both are just too impact for my body. I do bike and slam balls currently as alternatives. Something about the up/down motion for burpees does not jive with my body at all

Ooooo...prep for toes to bar. Another movement that I never completed and always scaled. - JD Jul 21, 10:34 4
- Took me almost a year just to be able to do a single pull up. I'm still only doing a few at a time. Our class work doesn't lend itself - oblique Jul 21, 10:37 3
  - If your schedule allows as well as work out space, I'd recommend a few minutes after class to focus on pull ups - JD Jul 21, 10:45 2
    - Thanks. Counter-intuitive but totally makes sense especially as I learned how much pull ups were back muscles and not arms. I'll see about giving - oblique Jul 21, 10:49 1
      - 8-) Though perhaps consider skipping the extra work before a workout that includes pull up type movements - JD Jul 21, 10:56
