    after starting Insanity, I can relate. Only I am much more outspoken. It's more of.... F*** I hate these damn things.

    We do these in Kickboxing. The routine is 4 uppercuts (while shifting the feet forward) punch, punch, punch, punch, burpee, burpee, 4 uppercuts (moving backwards) repeat. FKING MURDER, however I love it :)

    I hate them. I can never get into the plank from the squat correctly. I have really long legs and a short torso, and it just usually ends up making me look foolish.

    P.S. It's definitely not a back strength issue. I was deadlifting 185 pre-baby.

    OMG! Until just now, I thought Burpees was a seriously ill-named restaurant. Am I the only one??

    I hate you

    die in a fire.

    For seven years I screamed Id never do one. I walked in circles for 5 minutes yesterday refusing to surrender. But I learned the how. And now I hate them enough to know that Im probably going to try to get really good at them just because I hate them so much.

    Word! They are called Suicide Jumps in Insanity, for good reason! They really are awesome though. The kind of move you love to hate. It is pure power!

    I have a love hate relationship with burpees. If you want a killer workout try doing tabata burpees.

    Burpees are not the same as squat thrust. You start standing, then drop down, then do a squat thrust, then jump back up. So they're like squat thrusts+

    Am I the only one who saw the topic and thought you were mad at the Burpee seed company for some reason? Now it makes more sense. :blushing:

    Oh, but I love burpees and mountain climbers! If I'm gonna work out, I want to do moves that make me work. You should try 6-count and 8-count burpees...

    I read a quote somewhere that said "If it doesn't feel hard, it isn't." Hard is what gets us results! If we could get fit doing easy moves, everyone would be fit.

    I say "thank you" to whomever thought up burpees and mountain climbers and plank moves!
