Cynthia, I'm down for the burpee challenge. I hate burpees, the plan is for me to love them by day 100, fat chance though.

[Lee]

I'm up for the challenge. When do we start?

What are the rules? Can we spread them out over the entire day? What if we miss a day, can we make it up the next day?

[CynthiaJ in Sunnyvale]

you know, the key to the burpee challenge is to NEVER miss a day.. early on, it doesn't matter, but if you miss, say Day 45, then on Day 46 you end up doing 91 instead of 46. Heaven forbid you miss TWO days at that stage! that is murder!

So, Danny, me, Lee... who else?

[Ashley]

I would do it but the last half of the challenge I will be on my honeymoon and there is no way I am doing burpees after eating pizza and pasta all day long! :) Good luck!

THE BURPEE CHALLENGE!
Beginning Monday, June 8th, we are going to start doing burpees, starting with 1 on Day 1 and adding one burpee a day until we get to 100 burpees on the 100th day! By Day 100, we will have done 5050 burpees! But don't let that keep you from starting :)

The Rules:
1. Use Burgener's burpee standards for form (see examples below)
2. You can complete each day's burpees all at once, or broken up and done at different times throughout the day
3. If for some reason you miss a day, you have to make up all the missed burpees the following day
4. If you don't start the challenge with us on Monday, you can "buy-in" at any time by doing ALL the missed day's burpees on your first day
5. Any burpees you complete during your regular workout can count towards that day’s Challenge burpees, if you want them to
5. Have fun doing burpees and getting stronger doing it!

Burpee Challenge Form Standards:
One: Start with hands on the ground in front of your feet. Keep your back straight.

Two: Kick feet out behind you into the top of the push-up portion of the burpee. Your body should be straight and tight in a flat plank.

Three: Lower your body into the lowest part of a push-up. Your chest and thighs should ultimately touch the ground at the same time. Remember to keep your whole body, especially your midline, tight. While throwing your body on the ground and therefore touching both chest and thighs to the ground is acceptable by some standards, we feel that more is to be gained from doing a strict push-up in this Challenge.

Four: Push up into the top of the push-up position again.

Five: Jump your feet up to your hands into your starting position.

Six: Jump into the air and clap your hands overhead so that your ear is exposed in front of your arms. Your feet should leave the ground.

I immidiately regret this but I'm in for the burpee challenge

[Sal]

I also hate burpees but count me in.

[Lee]

If we start Monday, June 8th, we'll finish on Tuesday, September 15th. I'll print up a burpee schedule and leave copies in the box.

[Paula]

I hate burpees with a passion, but I'm in.

[maria mcginley]

Welcome to xfit Carlee!

Paula- i will pester you to no end if you do not stick with this.

Jason- put paula on the "in trouble" board if she bails on xfit. camila and i gave her crap about not going and so she even came with me to mine when she was visiting dc.

p.s. thanks for the tresladies referral link :)

[Stacey M.]

I too, HATE burpees, so count me in!!

[Brian W.]

I'm in on this

Are we doing the burpees in the gym before/after our WOD's or how are we going to do this?

Sal, looks like we are going to do a burpee as we cross the stage at graduation next Saturday.

[erik]

i guess this is one way to count the days of summer. count me in on the burpees too.

[erik]

oh yeah, did the jerk, pull and push up WOD in the gym at school. got some great looks from the globo'ers. as rx'd (c2b pullups), 7:24. somethings gotta be working because i got all my jerks (my weakest lift) unbroken. gotta love crossfit.

[Jake]

I just did 5050 burpees on my lunch break. Bam!

[Zach]

Since everyone else is doing it, I guess I'll hop on the bandwagon too. I'm not an original kind of person.

Suggestion: We should all yell "WWWEEEEEEEEE!!!!" at the top of the clap to make them more fun.

Carry on. That is all.

[Zach]

I'm calling you out Jake!

[Matt]

Tammer tha hammer - good to see you homie! Love the chops!
