What is a burpee? Is it the gas you get after you drink a Slurpee too fast?

Burpee is the seed company I get my 'mater seeds from.
It's also a way to torture your body, as seen in this nifty video: Burpee |

I hate blurpees, but I'm in.
ETA, I'll see your blurpee and raise you a pull up. In true arfcom fashion...do both. |

I would love to do a convict contest, but I wont be able to get that many pullups done. Hell, I dont even have a fucking pullup bar worth a shit at my gym. Come to think of it, I should install one at my damn apartment.

You don't have to do them in a row, just through the course of the day
The last couple weeks would probably suck though, but think of the "turtle shell" you would develop. |

This is bs. No way is this a way to get your body in any sort of well conditioned shape other than to be able to do more burpee's.
Anyone even heard of P90X? Sprints? cardio? |

Dude this is NOT a standalone program. Its a test of sorts. Its like adding a bit of seasoning to a nice piece of fish. I workout 6 days a week. This is just a fun way to add more work.
And just how exactly is doing a pushup, squat thrust, and a jump not good for you? Last I checked that was just about every muscle group in your body. I am not advocating this as a fucking workout program. I'm starting a 100 day burpee challenge. Nothing more, nothing less.

ETA: I would love to think I would be able to bang them out in sets of 10 with 60 seconds rest when I get up to 50+ |

Burpees are about THE best all around conditioning exersise. Burpees are so cool- you can even do them in the SHU.

I was tired watching him! Great to see a family entry!!! Ross is an elite level performer.
He has good form, and for me, he provides inspiration to try harder after I see him crank it out. Just go at your own speed. I can manage 10 sets of 10, but it takes me awhile, and it's almost a NDE.
