Thanks for the ideas about surrenders. Don't worry - I don't do it if it hurts. Typically, I try one in the hope that somehow this time it will work out better, and then when it doesn't I stop and do one legged squats instead. I was just wondering if there was a substitute that was a little closer to the surrender, and I've gotten some great ideas here!

Another good sub would just be a controlled rear lunge back I would think. I don't do surrenders, either. It sounds to me like the 'squat fall' is similar to the bear crawl (as Cathe calls it) http://cathe.com/xtrain-supercut-bear-crawls maybe?

In the Venus Index #1 program, they do not do one single sit up or crunches. The majority of the ab work is all plank work. This is when I became a believer.

I detest burpees , but on those rare occasions when I make myself do them (mostly just to challenge myself), I start in a wide stance, squat down with both hands on the floor in front of me (looking a bit like a frog), jump my legs back with feet together, jump back to "frog pose", then return to standing.
Other times I just do standing jumps while pumping my arms overhead like I'm at a Rave (or at least, my 55-year old version of a Rave, LOL!)
