    LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP

    i do not hate burpees i consider them a challenge, at this time i can only do about 4 and then im so out of breath that i have to march in place to catch my breath, but one reason why i wIll LEARN TO LOVE THEM is burpees works EVERY muscle in the body, which is why it's so difficult--and so effective.

    one day im going to be able to say i did 10 without stoping then 15 then 20 i have made them a monthly goal challege to chart my progress my goal is to one day be able to do 25 without stoping but when i get there i will up that goal as well :)

    What are they?

    you start in a squating position and jump your legs back so your in a plank position, then you jump your legs back up to hands and then do an explosive jump up and then do it all over again!! sounds like tons of fun doesnt it! :)

    yes yes yes. Buttttttttttt they are good for all bodyparts! Think how hard your core will be!!

    my trainer makes me do burpees then planks for a minute after i finish my burpees. i better be able to wash clothes on my abs after a few months!! :)

    Please tell me what a burpee is?

    you start in a squatting position and jump your legs back to a plank position then jump your legs forward to your hands again then do an explosive jump up.... then you do the whole thing over again.

    I am jumping on the "I hate burpees" bandwagon. Evil devlish things. However, they are a really great exercise, if that's what you are looking for I suppose :)

    Well, when you put it like THAT... :wink:

    Maybe I won't hate them once I can see my abdominal muscles.

    Hmm - I'm guessing I'm the only one who thought this thread was about a baby burping cloth. Now that I knwo what they are - why in the world are they called burpees? Do they make you burp?

    i cant do them exactly like this ripped chick does but my trainer is having me work up to that! I am hoping that doing all these stupid burpees will make me look something like the chick in the video!!

    LOATHE would be more appropriate... LOL

    And I plan to add them into my jump routine so I can get better at them and torture myself even more!
