keliswicked Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I definitely had to fight myself to do these last night, but I found that doing 6 sets of 5 actually was a lot easier than 3 sets of 10. I'm going to still try and do 3 sets of 10 on a regular day, but on days like yesterday I can "grease the groove" and take it easy on myself just to get them done. It's nice how much easier they're getting! Quote Keliswicked, level 6 half Hobbit/ half Dwarf Druid Progress Log || Fitocracy! || 2 3 4 5 6 Link to comment
Relic Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Life's been kinda crazy over here and I have started to really like my daily burpees. They are like a mini break/distraction for me. Plus I've not been getting enough sleep for the last week but I haven't gotten sick like I usually do. I'm going to credit the burpees (whether or not they are the actual cause).I'll be away from my pbone for the next 3 days so I won't be checking in. But I'll be burpeeing.

BlackWidowEowyn Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 It's definitely feeling better this week... yay for better burpees course maybe it's because I decided not to be a whiney little b!#$% about them...

KiwiChick Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 On the road - burpees are so travel friendly, the rest of my challenge is a bit meh but yeah for mostly keeping up to date on burpees Quote Traveling Scoutly inclined Druid “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.â€â€• Oscar Wilde Link to comment
Snow Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Just updated my burpee count and realized we're 1/3 of the way there!!! Quote "Whatever doesn't kill me... had better start running."Challenge: 1, 2 Link to comment
keliswicked Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Two weeks down! I love doing these at the gym but other days I end up doing them right before I climb into bed.. lazy lazy but at least they're getting done!

keliswicked Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I feel like I spam this thread but I just wanted to add that I feel like my conditioning has gotten a lot better from doing burpees, i.e. my heart rate returns to normal fairly quickly after finishing exercise. Two weeks ago I would huff and puff for a solid five minutes! Love this PvP Quote Keliswicked, level 6 half Hobbit/ half Dwarf Druid Progress Log || Fitocracy! || 2 3 4 5 6 Link to comment

Relic Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 You guys make me so proud!Not surprising, I've been missing days while on vacation. Oh well, I'm having lots of fun and staying active. You guys keep kicking burpee butt and I'll see if I can't get the rest of my days done.

keliswicked Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 So I skipped out on doing these the last five days because I was at my parents house vacationing with my boyfriend. We spent a ton of time driving and doing fun things, so no burpees =( I'm going to be good the rest of the time though! I'm determined to still make it to the end!

keliswicked Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm having some significant pain in my knees, even though I haven't done burpees in nearly a week, but I think it might be from them =( anyone else having a similar problem?

Snow Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I can't say I've had problems with my knees yet; maybe check your squat form? Quote "Whatever doesn't kill me... had better start running."Challenge: 1, 2 Link to comment
keliswicked Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Haven't been to the gym either! Aye aye aye =( Quote Keliswicked, level 6 half Hobbit/ half Dwarf Druid Progress Log || Fitocracy! || 2 3 4 5 6 Link to comment
BlackWidowEowyn Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 yeah, no knee pain here either, but definitely check your squat form. It's easy to do it right going down but when you jump back up it would be easy to twist something wrong...

Relic Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Well, I missed a whole bunch of days while on vacation but I'm back on track now (I promise).Less than a week and a half to go! Quote To find piece with myselfI must first find a piece of myself Link to comment
Snow Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Alright, last week!!! How's everybody doing? Anyone interested in continuing this PvP into the next challenge? I'm thinking I might bump up to 50 a day for the next one. :-) Quote "Whatever doesn't kill me... had better start running."Challenge: 1, 2 Link to comment

Snow Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Whew! It's over! So many burpees... Quote "Whatever doesn't kill me... had better start running."Challenge: 1, 2 Link to comment
Harika Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 If you all would be interesting in doing this again next challenge I would like to join. My plan is currently to start at 10 and add one each day. I could take the average and use that for this pvp so the end count should work out.
