    i'm still confused about kettleball kegels... i know what kegels are, and i don't know how a kettleball would help with those.

    I love burpees. I can't stand lunges or kettlebell kegels.

    What the heck are Kettlebell Kegels??

    OMG I died!!!!!

    We do all off these almost everyday in boot camp. They all work and hit a bunch of muscles you might not know you had! Enjoy!!

    Ummmm...what's a burpee?

    This move:

    I've been doing them wrong, lol. I go from standing to push up position without the squat in the middle.

    ^^Um, OUCH! That would KILL my shoulders. As it is, I can't even do a burpee the way it's pictured here for the same reason. Perhaps after another 50+lbs lost, I'll give it a go again.

    Perhaps showing my age, but we called them "squat thrusts" back in my junior high days. Maybe they just realized that sounded terrible? haha

    I will not go that far because I like to keep my hands, but burpees kill my crappy knees, so they are a no-no exercise. for me.

    I would have to get the second one....but honestly, burpees, alternating jump lunges (or even lunges with weights) and squats kill me, but I do them and feel great for every time i manage to do it properly!!!!

    so i read how much burpess suck and decided to incorporate them into my work out last night.

    Sorry.

    After having done bear complexes and 20/20/20, I find burpees to be a walk in the park. Maybe it's an idiosyncracy.

    The difference, as far as I know, between a squat thrust and a burpee is the vertical leap at the end of the burpee which the squat thrust doesn't require.

    I don't think I've tried that for at least a decade. I don't know if I want to. I might hurt myself.

    Unfortunately, I just googled that at work.

    SMH.

    Now I remember why the word "kegels" sounded so familiar! Context! I was thinking it must be some xfit workout thingy.... oh no. of course not!

    I don't care for burpees but they do wrk out the whole body so they are worth it. I hate lunge switch jumps. Lunge's are hard enough but adding a jump as you switch really makes you feel the burn!

    I refuse to do jumping lunges...that's just asking for a knee injury!
    Burbees I love....ONE LEGGED burbees are even better!
