"Only" 100 burpees on the last day, but between now and then we will have done just over 5,000 of them - for which each participant will donate 1 penny per burpee to our group-selected charity. I really like that part. It is just a straight linear progression, 1 extra burpee each day. I focus on THAT, not the total number over the 100 days.
One thing is sure, I will be a LOT better at burpees by the time this is over!

I just did the "reverse burpee" you posted a video of. That sure got my heart rate up in a hurry!

Oh lordie yes, even the "regular" unmodified burpee will do that - it really is a whole body exercise! Originally Posted by indysteel

I'm liking the look of Burpee's, Catrin. I thought this was about garden seeds, though. I'm going to start with one today and add one a day. The video on the modifications is great.

what a great challenge! Burpees are known to make me want to throw up whatever meal I ate last (even if it was hours and hours before).
There was a time early in the summer when I was doing 20 regular burpees a day. That has since ceased (although I'm mad I stopped). The reverse burpee wasn't nearly as hard as the regular one for me. I might do those every other day to change it up.
I'm totally in for the challenge. Just did 10 reverse burpees and 5 regular ones. Thanks for sharing!!Last edited by Tri Girl; 08-15-2012 at 12:27 PM.

Did 16 regular burpees today after my workout. Amazing how even the "regular" version feels!

Even my fitness instructor's eyes bugged out when I told her about this challenge! You're a badazz, Girlfriend.
