    .. hmmm. That makes me wonder: how is your hip strength and mobility?

    Good question, not sure how to measure that but they have never given me problems. In general, I am not very flexible though, so my range of motion can be limited.

    You know that ole song that goes sumthin like โ€˜ ๐ŸŽผ anโ€™the hip bone is connected to the leg bone, and the leg bone ... ๐ŸŽถ โ€˜ ? Our bodies have a pulley system with muscles and ligaments. Thinking if you work on increasing your hip mobility you could see a change in your knee. As for measuring it- do a video - tons of them out there under hip mobility for runners - and youโ€™ll learn right quick. ( I did) ๐Ÿ˜‹

    Jan 10: 10+10
    So far this month: 120
    Did them again as part of my warm up routine before lifting this morning.

    Kinda sad to think that 2yrs ago I was doing 120 a day in addition to regular stuff. Happy to know I can work my way back up to that again- if I go slow and train smart!
    Five months until my first two Spartans, eight until the Beast.
    I got this? ๐Ÿ™

    Oops that last post should have said Jan 11, not 10.
    Today I revert to my silly lil one burpee. I didnโ€™t want to tax myself overly- supposed to be a rest day and I already did an easy/slow run/walk. So ya. Monday I better rock this thing! ๐Ÿ™„

    All of you burpee enthusiasts are super inspiring, but my knee is not cooperating and I think burpees and I must part ways now.

    @SammyDee2015 I hope you are feeling better now!

    Hahahahahahaha
    Ha.
    Both hubby and I slept in today- I was late for work meeting but still threw down 1 burpee in the kitchen... right in front of him.... before a quick peck on his cheek and running out the door. He texted me later to inform me I am nuts ๐Ÿ™„

    Good thing I did. Somehow wrenched my upper back while reaching for the toilet paper on the bivvy ( TMI?) And it spasmed for hours. Good news is it is still weak but much better now that I am home( 14 hours later... looong work day). Will see how Tuesday goes ๐Ÿคž

    So I did a burpee each morning on Jan 21&22. Been feeling bone tired (guess from the bug, though I am better?) but back n body feeling okay today so I tried a new lil thing at work in our boardroom: 5 burpees at breaks*2 plus 5 at lunch. Surprised at how easy they felt to do! Might try it again tommorrow too.

    Jan total so far: 210 ๐Ÿค—

    Still here- just not posting to this thread ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Learned that I will do more consecutive burpees if it is part of a video routine. Found one that is only 10 minutes long. Rinse repeat.

    I've been busy traveling for a bit. Took a break from burpees for most of Feb. Just lots of walking outside and some running. March I started 10 burpees a day indefinitely. Enough to tone without leaving my wrists too sore.

    This sounds a good challenge. I'm up for it.
    I'll start in the morning.

    Type โ€˜10 minute burpees videoโ€™ into your browser and voila! A bazillion to pick from! I find it helps keep my momentum to pick a new one every so often.
