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.
