Right - my partner challenged me to this yesterday and I wondered if anyone would like to join me! The idea is you start with 1 burpee on day 1, 2 on day 2, etc. If you miss a day you need to do that day and the next day added together! So by day 100 you'll be doing 100 burpees!!

    I have challenged myself to do 100 burpees each day for the month of February. Brutal! Burpees and I have a kind of love/hate relationship :)

    Did 3 burpees yesterday. No idea about calories - not many until you near the 100 but great for all round fitness.
