They drive me insane during those workouts. I totally modified at the beginning because I just didn't want to do them. Now I do them, but I still hate them!0 -
I hate them because my legs are very long and my torso is short, so they're exceedingly difficult for me and almost always throw my back or hips out. I'll do them if I have no other choice, but I'd rather do ANYTHING else...0

We have to do them at 9Round....but with boxing gloves on. Talk about awkward!0

OMG! Who came up with that anyone? Give me a break....:sad:0

I believe we used to call them squat thrusts in gym class!
How to execute from Wikipedia:
1 - Begin in a standing position.
2- Drop into a squat position with your hands on the ground.
3 - Kick your feet back while lowering yourself WITHOUT a pushup.
4 - Return your feet to the squat position while straightening your arms.
5- Leap up as high as possible from the squat position with your arms overhead (you may clap your hands above your head at the peak of your jump).
and yes, burpees suck monkey butt! But, they are a great all over strength move!0 -
me too.... I do some of Jillian Michael's videos and burpies are her thing too....my son aks me all the time, mom why do keep working out with that lady if you are mad at her? LOL
Hilarous! I yell and scream at her the entire time I am doing her workouts tooo...... Some times I get so mad at her I turn the volume down so I dont have to listen to her talkn bout "Don't phone it in....."0 -

LMAO! Yup, that says it all! I tried 30 Day Shred a while back and around my house it's called Satan's 20 Minutes cuz she's efficient but evil!0 -
I have a love/hate relationship! They are SO good for you & such a good exercise but HARD!!!!!!!0

I only do them because Jillian tells me to. LOL
This exactly!!0 -
What are they?
Burpees also known as squat thrusts, or in insanity world suicide jumps.. personally I think the term suicide jumps is the most fitting.... (jump up with hands in air. down in a squat, down in pushup position, jump back to squatting, jump back up and repeat.... that is 1) urgh....0 -
I freaking hate burpees & i'm slow at them so I always fall behind.0
-
I hated them at first because I was just too tight. Now that I'm loosening up I'm getting better at them so I like them just a tad bit.0
-
I LOVE BURPEES!! I think I like pain!0
-
<raising hand> I hate burpees!! Why do all the great exercises have to include so much jumping?0
-
Ugh. Burpies. I know...I know...one of the best exercises out there. But yes - I hate them. My trainer LOVES them (because they are such a good exercise I am sure) but everyone in boot camp seems to feel the same way I do.
They are getting a tad easier though....0 -
I will LOVE them them when I can do them just because I can add it to my list of stuff I could never do before that I am able to do now (then). LOL0
