They should be whipped whilst doing 1000 burpees themselves!!0

I hate you

Everyone's definition is a little bit different, but it's essentially a squat thrust++. For me burpees have you either hitting the deck instead of planking (easy) or doing a pushup after getting into a plank (harder). I know one guy who does the burpee with a pushup and then jumps to a bar and does a pullup as a one count. I think that's about as much fun as eating your own regurgitated glass.0

Ditto mountain climbers! Hate 'em, and if you tried to climb a mountain with that particular motion, we'd be scooping you up with a shovel!
I think I'm glad I don't know what a mountain climber is!0 -

There's more than one exercise called mountain climber
Here's the most common http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI8u58hPam4
Another is standing and miming like you're on a versaclimber. I think that's from Insanity.0 -
I hate them but they are so effective.:mad:0

And for those who don't like the name Burpee, the exercise is also known as a Squat Thrust, which I prefer to use. Burpee sounds too childish. The term Burpee comes from the inventor of the exercise, American physiologist Royal H. Burpee, who developed the "Burpee test".0

A squat thrust doesn't involve standing up, or jumping.
Also, mountain climbers are known as alternate squat thrusts where I come from, for obvious reasons, you alternate your legs.0 -
the only thing I've ever seen worse than burpees is when my oldest was playing football - their coach had them start at one end of the field on the goal line - run as fast as possible to the 10 yard line - drop and do 5 burpees - then sprint to the 20 yard line and drop and do 10 burpees - continuing all the way to the other end of the field adding 5 burpees every time they stopped - just about every player was tossing their lunch by the end0
