Hardest Most Challenging Exercise Ever

Burpees! I cannot yet do them in a public place because I am sure it would embarrass everyone! LOL. I just feel so uncoordinated when I do them.0

Burpees are tough, for sure. Try adding hand weights (manmakers). I used to train with a woman who did 1 pushup with every burpee AND ended with a kneeslap. She's one tough woman.
But they're not the toughest. The toughest is any race day. A race day ALWAYS out-toughs a training day. Like A-L-W-A-Y-S.0 -
Nearly torn my adductor magnus and shattered my ego.0 -

Plank push ups are killers. Going to start up those again, too0 -
lunges or squats..I start shaking like crazy0

Pull Ups for me. Kind of like burpees and love press ups and less so chin ups BUT the pull up...stand there contemplating what's to come and trying to persuade myself I CAN do one at least. Need to work on back and lat strength for sure.0

snatches or turkish get up.
but are pretty technical and hard to cheat on without failing. i can cheat like hell on a burpee, so it's not even on the top 10 of my most challenging exercise0 -
I like trying out odd body weight things, just to try them. This morning I did tricep extension pushups. Basically, normal plank position, elbows under shoulders, arms pointing away from feet, palms down. Now raise up to a pushup, and then back down to elbows.
Eventually this will lead to a superman pushup, where I lay down, and my arms are almost fully extended over head, before I try to get onto palms and toes. Someday, maybe.
And then there is the Body Weight Walking Lunge Into One-Leg Romanian Deadlift
Stand with hands on hips or clasped behind neck. Lunge forward with first leg. Land on heel then forefoot. Lower body by flexing knee and hip of front leg until knee of rear leg is almost in contact with floor. Stand up, and in one fluid motion, raise the rear leg behind you while bending forward in a one-legged romanian deadlift. return to a standing position and then lunge forward with the opposite leg, repeating with the opposite side, thus walking forward.
This was designed by the Ministry of Silly Walks.0 -
Yes, pull ups and one leg wall sits. Ugh0
-
Yes on pull ups. Wow those are hard.0

Swinging a 45# kettlebell after a 30min cardio and 30min mixed weights routine.0

I spent half an hour trying to do one of those super planche things, and just ended up looking stupid.
My brother thought I was trying to and couldn't do a push-up. I did 50 of them right in front of him (not the girly ones) just to prove it to him -_-0 -
TRX 1 legged squats0
