Burpees

Started doing these on a daily basis…good upper and lower body workout and since I refuse to go to the gym, lift weights, or do much of anything besides SBR due to time constraints and other priorities, seems like a good way to work the “other” muscles. Anyone else doing these on a regular basis?

Good training for Spartan Race. And they hurt like hell. I have a love hate relationship with them. Burpees are awesome.

burpee or bastard . burpee you just flick your legs back into a high push up position then back up . bastard you do the push up

I did the 30 day challenge where you build up to 100. I changed up my approach. Some days nice and slow, keeping it aerobic. Other days as fast I could, very anaerobic.

I plan to do them every once in awhile when I can’t find time to workout.

I did them with the push-up, crossfit style.

Huh?

For me, burpees always involved the pushups.

Otherwise, we called it a squat thrust.

I am going to start doing these more I want to be able to do them with a ton of power just because its a sweet athletic move, and I am tired of being so sluggish. If you fall on the run you can snap up to your feet in style.

Until just recently I thought a “Burpee” was the new foot long chili dog at 7-11.

I do them under pull up bars. Drop, push up, pop up, do a pull up. Repeat.

Hurts…

Are you sure?

With the push-up of course!

I’ll be doing 10 of them at every mile marker at IMAZ. You know, so I can get a good workout.

Try 10 in a minute then try 20 in a minute.

I have absolutely no use for them. There will never be “the next burpee I do”.

I had a friend who did this… 4x around the track.

I did a 1/2 mile with him and my whole body hurt for 3 days.

I am suprised nobody has posted their Burpee Mile PR yet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWVw00zgYhg
