Sloth the Enduring Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Aargh. I'm really far behind. On Sunday I did 17, 18, & 19, but none since. I'll hit hard tonight and see how caught up I can get.

Loren Wade Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 So, I stopped doing the burpee challenge in favor of my personal challenge, but I am thinking about catching up. Thoughts? Quote lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment

Sloth the Enduring Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Just more aargh. I did day 20 and today I did day 21 & 22. My insomniac kids are keeping me from doing my morning workouts and I am just too tired after work or after bedtime. Also burpees are REALLY hard. I have pretty good endurance and conditioning for an old guy, but these kill me. I hit my anaerobic threshhold by 10 and I'm ready to die by 20 and it takes me forever to recover. My new plan is to do them in sets of 5 mixed in with my normal conditioning work or in sets of 10 as a warm up before weight lifting.I'm not quitting. I'll let you know when I get caught up.

After finishing burpees yesterday I felt a bit of a tweak in my right shoulder but didn't think much of it. Pretty much as soon as I started them this morning, I felt the same pain, but stronger. I cut back to sets of 5 throughout the day, but after just finishing my last set the pain is definitely still there. My physical integrity is more important than my squashed pride, so no more for me. But I'll still be cheering you guys on!

Sloth the Enduring Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 My ability to do burpees has massively increased. I can now do sets of 10 with no problem and sets of 20 without wanting to curl up and die.Today I did 150 (9 sets of 15 and 3 sets of 5) to finish up days 36, 37, 38, and 39. I am finally caught up!How is everyone else doing?

maegs Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'm a bit ahead because after the first week or so I started doing extra.. From 20-39 I did a total of 40/day, then day 40 (today) I did 20/20/15 so that closer to the end I won't have to do quite as many Quote Current Challenge Goodreads|Instagram|Ravelry Link to comment
Sloth the Enduring Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 And... I'm out. Halfway through today's burpees I'm listening to my knees creak and crackle and feeling them ache and I decided to stop abusing them day after day, they just don't like all the jumping. I thought my retorn rotator cuff would have been what stopped me. Mostly though, I have grown to hate burpees and it is making me dread my workout.Keep up the good work Maegs and everyone else still working on the challenge.

Rooks Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hmmm... little bummed I missed this one. Wondering if I could catch up. Let's see... 6670 Burpees total. Today... April 6th, is doing 56 per day. Oof... I don't know if I could catch up with that. Quote Link to comment
