Burpee Hell

Burpee: This workout begins from the standing position, move from flat on the ground to jumping off the ground and clapping hands overhead.  This is how to perform a burpee.

However after the 100 I did tonight I am pretty sure I missed a few overhead claps.  That was horrible!  It was 16 minutes and 6 seconds of burpee hell.  The first 15 felt good.  But by 75 I was feeling the dizzying effects of falling to the ground and quickly jumping back up again.  I honestly didn't think that I wound get through the next 25.  My trainer (AKA my husband) came over and asked what number I was on.  As I gasped for breath I told him I didn't think I could finish.  He so sweetly said, "But you are three quarters down.  You can do this.  Keep chipping away."  
So that is what I did.  

I am however finding that burpees are a little contradictory.  I am doing them so that I can wear a mini skirt, however my bruised up knees do not look good in one.  

A new goal by the end of the year to be able to complete burpees without bruising myself.
