100 burpee challenge anyone?

[Wobblystraddle]

I did it today for the first time. Took me 10:10. My technique was spectacularly shit needs a little work, but there was a point where I thought I wouldn't manage it, so I'm pleasantly surprised :)

Anyone else doing this?

Sorry, wrong place to post it! Getting it moved...

Hi, we're moving this over to our Exercise topic now. And giving it a little bump.

Sorry to be dense, what's the idea, time yourself how long it takes for 100 burpees?

Thanks Dawn.

Yes, exactly that. It's difficult! It's, i suppose, a way if measuring your fitness over time. I've just found a 30-day burpee challenge, ending with 100, so I might do that and see how I get on. My heart was certainly racing after ten minutes.

Well done wobbly, when burpees come up on e'cise dvds I inwardly do a little groan. Must be quite an efficient 10 min work out though in terms of it includes cardio, strength, endurance and cals burned?

I don't think I could do 100 burpees.

10 sets me all aquiver

Wow, I bet the last 90 are killers! well done! I might try and do fifty later.

I could probably do it in 10:10 if they were hours and minutes, or possibly days and hours.

I am quite fit, but so shit at burpees, they kill me.

If i had to do burpees for 10 days Gobblers I would lose the will to live. Swiftly

The first ten were definitely easiest! I had long pauses between sets of ten.

Though looking at techniques online, the pressup part was definitely lacking in mine. I'll be up to 15 mins next time, probably :(

Stop that wobbly - you are made of stronger stuff than all of us by the sound of it!! I didn't even realise there was a pushup element

I always thought a burpee with a press up was called a bastard! If you do the press up you are extra nails
