It's kind of hard to explain that's why I posted the video. It's basically a swat, then you put your hands down in front of you like you are going to do a push-up, kick your feet back so you are in the push up position then pull your feet back under you, stand up, jump....repeat. lol

Log it as calisthenics, there is a category for mild effort or vigorous.

Sounds like an exercise that would make me want to jump off the nearest bridge...but wouldn't be able to because I'd be too weak to move after I had finished. :-P

Burpees are awesome! I do them pretty often in my circuit training/calisthenics workouts and I log those workouts as either of those. Don't use not being able to log something as an excuse not to do it. :happy: Just use your best guess as to the type of exercise it is or, better yet, use a heart rate monitor.

Eating less than 1300 calories a day by logging my food here and working out 5 (sometimes 6) days a week

Burpees are something the devil created so my uncordinated behind can look like a fool when my trainer makes me do them. Those and explosive lunges.
