ETA: Someone asked earlier why do hinged strength moves or leaning over. It's usually to let gravity aid you in focusing on the area you're targeting. So engaging your abs in a healthy back would be bonus. But you can usually do all those moves leaning over a stability ball or lying on an inclined weight bench, too. I always get disappointed when they don't offer that option because LOTS of people have low back issues.

I just remembered another one I no longer do after learning my lesson (ahem, catching my foot and flying sideways horizontally over my step, thus landing hard on hand/hip/knee ) and that is NEVER do two-foot jumps sideways or laterally onto/over the step. I hate those! I will face front only and jump onto and off of the step in a safer way, thank you very much!

I've suddenly remembered the URX series - I never would and never want to jump off my rebounder, thanks much. But I modified almost all of those workouts beyond recognition and almost never do them anymore. I jump on my rebounder for tuck jumps and other plyo moves. I know they're good for my bones but ... I don't wanna.

Burpees and mountain climbers I dislike but will do until I feel like I can't do another one but I complain a lot to the instructor . I HATE renegade rows and refuse to do them - I put the weights next to my hands. I also really dislike triceps pushups with the elbows close to the body - I always feel an uncomfortable crunching feeling in the back of my ribcage when I do them no matter where I put my hands or how I try to adjust my elbows or shoulders.

I FEEL SO VALIDATED! I don't clap or snap when they do, as I just feel like it's goofy. I will kind of move my hands toward each other but don't actually make the clapping sound.
I don't do burpees or mountain climbers and usually just sub in something else, pretty much whatever I feel like. I don't love high impact and tend to modify down to something manageable if it's endless plyos or jumping jacks. I don't mind running in place, though, so sometimes I just swap that in. The two things I simply canNOT do are planks for longer than a few seconds and pushups of almost any kind. For pushups, I swap in doing them more "box style" in a tabletop position, which I think is what the modifiers do in The FIRM's first Fanny Lifter vidoes and might also be what they do in the Basics series. I sprained my wrist a few years ago and that made it even more impossible for me to do pushups. I just have a very wimpy upper body, and while I've been able to increase my biceps strength over time, the way my body is constructed and where I carry more of my muscle is just completely counter to ever being able to do a "proper" pushup. There are some other moves that I sometimes think are just dorky. Yesterday I did Tracie Long's Endurance for Movement and I decided I did not want to do the "Ali shuffle," so I just jogged in place.

Isn't it amazing that we by our complaining, we are validating each other?
