    I did 100 today at the gym, spread out in between my strength training. This threaad totally inspired me to do burpees regularly, yay! Now I should do what Chris does and try to do 100 straight and time it...

    The guy that recommended the 100 burpees challenge for time actually only recommended doing it once or twice a week max because of the drain on CNS. I wasn't sure how I would go when we get close to those numbers. And for me, my focus is gaining strength so if it starts to hinder my recovery then I may just do them every second day or something like that.

    50 DONE! 3min 15.2sec. Nearly killed me. Don't think I'll do it for time again.

    I was planning to start following again after day 50, but I've just had a small operation under my arm, so I'll be out for a while too.

    Thanks :) Stitches out of head tomorrow. Shoulder is slowing getting better. Maybe I'll be back in time for day 60. Damn these injuries really annoy me!

    Well, I'm going to try this challenge! missed the first 4 days so I made them up yesterday, now onto day 6 (should be easier than the 15 I did yesterday to catch up) but then again I'm pretty sore from yesterday's work-out. This is going to be quite the challenge for me. Wish me luck!

    Sorry everyone, I thought the challenge started Sept 1 so clearly i'm way more behind than I thought! I'll bow out of this competition but do my own burpee challenge with a Sept 1 start date. Thanks for the idea and good luck with the rest of your challenge!

    I think there is only one other person besides myself still doing this challenge. I don't mind if you keep posting here. You will be approximately on day 50 when we reach 100. Stick with it. They do suck but the energy rush I get 5 minutes after words is worth it!

    Have you ever done this many burpees before? My shoulders are really sore after 2 days (i did 15 to catch up yesterday and as part of another work-out I did about 30) and I must say the more I do the worse my form gets. I'm hoping if I keep stretching and pushing through that eventually the hurt will go away. I have a long way to go in my fitness journey so I hope I'm not biting off more that I can chew here!

    IMO, this sort of HIIT is not the best idea for people just getting into exercise. Yes HIIT is all the rage these days and I do love it but there is a time and a place. If you are still struggling to do pushups for example then doing a high amount of burpees probably isn't a good idea. (because of the form break down basically)

    Would be more beneficial to do a regular medium intensity steady state cardio workout and increase your strength by doing pushups, squats, lunges etc also.

    Once you up the fitness/strength level a bit HIIT is awesome. You still have issues with form as your push yourself to the limit but if the risk of injury is outweighing the benefits of the exercise then you have you weigh up if it is really worth it. Not saying it is for you but just in general :smile:

    I have to agree with Chris, if it's causing you pain, I don't think you should do these. Maybe you could try to do the burpees without the pushup. They are still causing you pain you should lay off them for awhile until your muscles get stronger.

    Thanks for the input Chris and Renee. I will try and modify (knee push-ups and slow burpees) and see how it goes. I'm not sure if it's just stiffness or if it's more than that but I will be careful. Thanks again.
