chriskra Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 its official, had to break today's down into 2 sets (8/6). I wasn't as energized as usual, but not taking any credit away from the burpees themselves, which are doing a sufficient job of kicking my butt!

Omnibard Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Dear Burpees,It's quite clear that we don't get along. Please stop being a pain in my backside... and abs... and well, everywhere.Love,Me P.S. This isn't over. Burpees before yoga! If I pull off an inverted burpee, I'm counting it!

junk7321 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 ok im in... it will take me a few days to catch up... my target will be the 20th, which means I will need to do 210 burpees over the next 5 days... i think that is a bit more manageable...

Siferiax Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Done my 15. I really really get just simply exhausted doing these. So I do them in sets of 5 now, but I'm hardly able to jump backward/forward/up on the last. Jumping doesn't appear to be my skill... My legs just hate me. I lack some serious stamina I guess.

BeautifulBeast Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 To anyone who has never done 120 burpees, not just in one day, but over the span of maybe 20-30 minutes and following decently intense 60 minute workout....bit of advice. DON'T DO IT!! My body hates me right now....I'm scared to go to bed because I am going to HURT in the morning!!! But hey, now I'll only need to do 16 tomorrow LOL!!

OrangeJorwell Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I didn't do my burpees yesterday morning, but then at CrossFit we did rowing, pushups, handstand pushups AND burpees.

TheRikAllen Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 16% of days and 2.69% of burpees complete (maths!) Did mine this morning today (6:30ish) before breakfast and getting ready for work. Great way to start a day. Link to comment

Siferiax Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'm glad I'm getting into the habit of doing some in the morning. Had a work meeting last night, so I wasn't able to do any burpees after that. But I did 6 in the morning, so am only behind with 10. This morning I did 7, meaning I only need to do 20 this afternoon. I'm hoping to build my morning routine up to 10 burpees at least. Then see how I can divide these across the day, because I can't do them at work.

Karma Stu Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I have only just come across this thread today and it sounds like an awesome challenge. I am just trying to decide if I would be able to do 153 burpees tonight over the course of a few sets and not kill myself, or whether to take today as day 1. We shall see what energy levels are looking like when I get home from work. I tend to prefer the 'jump in with both feet before looking' approach so I get the feeling my body is going to hate me in the morning.

Even if you can't do all of them over 1 day, if you can do 30 or 40 a day for the next few days, you'll catch up pretty quickly. And if you're on the same schedule as everyone else, there's a little more encouragement there near the end.
