75 BURPEES (aka Squat Thrusts)

This is a great cardio exercise that works out practically every muscle in your body!

Here is how to do high impact: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LS3PunC_aE
…or check out this video to view a whole spectrum of low to high impact. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1bqF_WyLyU
Are you feeling *really* inspired today? Try adding a jumping jack in between each one.

Be sure to brag when you’re done!

    Burpees are the worst! But I will try, I have an hour free to kill so it will be shocking if i cannot do it with lots of breaks.

    woo hoo !! I did 80 ( i did 20 4x with a break in between each) I feel better now that I atleast did something lol I knew today would be a hard day to work out because I have work and then have to run home to set up for a NYE party and have no time to fit a workout in lol those 80 just made me want to do more though lol

    I'll do them if it takes me all day. Chest congestion makes it so hard to breath!

    Holy crap, I just did my first burpee. Might have gone better if I hadn't had a few glasses of amaretto already... Definitely need work, but since I have nothing else to do tonight, lets see if I can make it to 75 (and maybe with a goal I'll stop drinking).

    I did 30 modified squat thrusts as shown in the video. .....an accomplishment for me!

    I did the full 75 and I'm feeling it. I think I'll just do a little strength training and then call it good for tonight.
