Excellent work man! And you’re right, when I first added burpees into my workout, I thought about high school football… wind sprints to be specific.

I like to do a descending set starting at 10 burpees, rest 60 seconds, 9 burpees, rest 60 seconds, 8, rest 60, and so on.

The cool thing is that it’s a forced cool down at the end so you’re ready to move on to other things.

wow! i just watched your video. I think im going to try that tomorrow. I doubt i will get through it though. I think i could probably do about 20 or 30 then fall over!!

how often do you do it? once a week? once a month ?

I agree with your opinion about the mind and body control is very important penting.Yang of doing things should be warming and regular practice and focus.

Awesome! Congratulations! I got tired watching you. I do the Hindu squats and you do a lot more than I do. I’ll have to try your version for more cardio.

Israel,
You are a better man than me. I dread burpees, and to see that you were on a burpee kick, wow.
Keep at it,
Coop

Congrats on doing so many! I started doing burpees about 3 months ago and though they kick my butt everytime, I feel it’s one of the best overall exercises out there.

I haven’t tried to do a 100 in a row since I usually do them for 30 secs at a time in a circuit with other exercises, but I’d like to test myself one day to see if I can! It’d be a good goal to try.

Wow, I’m going to have to add the burpee to my routine. Looks like a great exercise… I’ll take all I can get. I’ll take your challenge, do a video, and see how many I can do. Thanks!

Nice work. I think I will take the challenge too. I’ll see how many I can do tonight. I’ve been trying to motivate myself for several weeks to get back in shape. Let’s do this!

Dude! You’re an inspiration! I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna take the 100 burpee challenge! I got a few pounds on you, but you’ve inspired me! Video to follow!

Thanks for the props. I couldn’t do anywhere near 33 my first time around, so you are definitely going to hit the 100 mark in no time.

Yeah, yeah. The grass is long. lol. I’m headed to Sears to pick up a mower this weekend. Now you and my wife can stop nagging me!!!

Ok Israel, I honestly just finished trying these after watching the vids. I got to 33 my legs are dead…dead (the knee held up).

100 – 98 or whatever is very impressive and you’ve got 75 lbs on me!

I’m motivated to beat that now. 33 isn’t too bad for a burpee virgin though

P.S Cut that grass son! you’ll burn about 200 calories for every 30 minutes…ha ha

That’s the challenge! I’m just an average Joe but what you did just made me think if i can even reach 20 or 30. I’m the type of person whose always on the computer screen and exercise seems have become a thing of the past which, i suppose is something i need to revive to keep myself in good shape.

Derek, thanks!!! I’ve come a long way, but still have even further to go! I realized that it’s one step at a time, one day at a time, one meal at a time, one hour at a time. It all adds up and before you know it, 5 months have passed by and you’ve managed to lose weight, build muscle, and train your mind to be in control!

Israel man am I impressed dude! I know just doing a few Burpees is hard but then you blow them out like that? You’re the man bro!

Yancy! Dimelo! I’ll send you an email with info. But here it is too:

1. Start out by standing still.
2. Then squat down
3. Kick back your legs and throw your hands in front of you achieving a push up position.
4. Perform a push up (knees on the ground is fine if you can’t do a regular one).
5. Then kick your legs back up returning to the original squatted position, like a little froggy.
6. Explode up into a jump with your hands into the air.

Now do this in one fluid motion as fast as possible. Keep your tempo up.

100 burpees is no joke man. Seriously. I was questioning my existence as I did them. Good luck and let me know how it turns out! Maybe you can do 3 or 4 sets of 15 to 20 burpees. Then once every 2 week syou go for 75 or 100 non stop. That’s what I did.
