    This is a great 30 day challenge, I shall begin tonight! (I hate, but usually do burpees with boxing gloves or hand wraps on, because I just slip around so this might actually be enjoyable at home on my big mat with my own grippy hands).

    Thanks for posting!

    Oooohh....I may have to give this a go. I do burpees in boot camp class twice a week, but usually only 10 at a time. I can't do the jump at the end due to a back issue, but I usually stand up at and throw my arms over my head and do a little tippy-toe kind of extension, if that makes sense. As close as I can get to jumping. I doubt I can do 100 straight right now, but I can start with sets and work up from there.

    Here's an interesting variation you can try: Start as normal, drop into the push-up position. Now, spread your legs in a V. Cross the right leg over the left ankle ( so you're legs are off to the side a little bit). Now do your normal push-up. Place the right leg back into the V position, and stand up and finish as normal. Next rep, do the same, except cross the left leg over the right during the push-up. This technique hits the obliques a bit more and throws something different into the mix to alleviate boredom.

    Have fun!

    You can jump into that side plank position to rather than stepping into it. definitely a good variation!

    I can't say I enjoyed them, but it was better than a root canal. :smile:

    Did two sets: 5 and 6

    I looked pathetic - But I did them! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
