    I love burpees! Burpees with a bosu ball, now that is pure torture. I agree with everyone else here lunges suck! I always seem to nearly fall over at least once when I do a set. Stupid stupid lunges.

    fabulous exercise but with my vertigo they don't happen too often or I'll be tossing my cookies all over the place while walking in circles. Once in a while I'll be able to get a few done.

    I have a love/hate relationship with burpees and squats. They hurt but you know, they work!!

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

    Not wrong... efficient.

    I go from standing to push up position too....

    Yeah, that is a recipe for disaster. I am pretty sure there would be a whole new thread dedicated to that torture.

    I absolutely hate burpees but after reading all of these post's makes me want to master them. When I do them I feel I'm doing them in slow motion. They are the most difficult exercise I have ever done

    My daughter sent me this EVIL article, and it includes, I kid you not, BACKFLIP BURPEES.

    I think she's trying to off me for the inheritance.

    Enjoy!

    One time when my son and I were watching a friend's dog at their place on a canal, as we were on our way back from our walk, there were a couple of girls doing burpees along the canal. My son asked me, "What is she doing?" (He's 6 and I have always reserved doing burpees for when he is not around due to the colorful language in which might or might not be emitted...) So as we were walking by her, I explained, "Son, those are straight from the devil." She heard me and nearly landed on her face. She laughed so I felt okay with laughing as well. LOL
