    3 whole minutes... NOT for me. I try to do 3 sets of 10 and they are ugly.... FORM is important people. A great challenge, but don't kill yourself doing something sloppy for a record.

    Its a fitness test!

    I'm going to be a nudge... what is it testing other than your ability to do burpees?

    Your level of fitness

    No not your overall level of fitness. Burpees are only one small aspect of fitness.

    Yeah, why even post wanting people to take part in a challenge then stall to do it yourself. Lead by example!

    PS. I do burpees (sans push up) several times a week as part of bodyweight HIIT/tabata style stuff. I'm going to call that good enough.

    I can (slowly) run 5k if asked, I can take things off couriers no problem when they warn me it's heavy, I can run up a flight of stairs without being breathless, I can touch my toes. Those are a better "fitness tests" than 3 minutes of burpees quite honestly. And any other fitness test I've ever done usually have a few markers to test overall fitness because being fit is a really broad term.

    Hahahah look who's talking. You really think you can measure someone's fitness by the number of bad form burpees one can do in 3 minutes? I guess because a magazine says you can it must be true lol
