October 7, 2009


Complete three rounds of:
As many burpees (with a 6" jump) as you can complete in five minutes.
Rest three minutes.
Post the total number of burpees performed.
Yes, often when we do burpees, we encourage you to do "games" style- in which you barely leave the ground to ensure limited time loss in the air. Not today. Today, we want big jumps. And don't be surprised if some of your burpees get policed and some of your reps don't count.

It's surprising how much you can really squeeze into this one! Jesse's advice: get a steady rhythm; true dat!

Hmm, just finished this. I'm shakey and my face is sore (no I didn't fall on it). Nice and exhausting one.

Great work keep up the consistency. If you feel like you don't want to train or the workout looks hard. That is the most important day for you to come in and challenge yourself.

Sorry I miss this tonight, I picked up a duty rotation instead. However, even I can squeeze in 21 minutes for a workout. I've decided I don't like burpees one bit, that being said I managed 59. Kudos to everyone on their high scores, you guys rock!

Nice quotes Jesse. Good way to start the day with such inspiration!

Good work Lynne! Welcome to the personal nightmare that is burpees. But who doesn't like Nightmare on Elm Street? So burpees shouldn't be any different. :)

And "Burp naked!" wasn't inspirational? *sheesh*
