ABSOLUTELY hate Burpees and def not a fan of planks. But, I think the 100 burpees a day challenge sounds like a go. Just cuz I am a bad *kitten*.
Who else is in?
I am, starting tomorrow. Because I am a bad a** too.0 -
I'm doing a Spartan Sprint this summer, I better start getting good at burpees. I'll do the challenge.0

I have knee problems so when I started doing Burpees I was worried. Funny thing is I was able to do them. It started slow but now I am much better. So take your time, you will still get the effect of the workout.
So so glad you posted!! :flowerforyou: Thank you:drinker: :drinker:
Definitely going to give them a try after dropping more weight.:blushing:If someone could just give me some pointers to eventually do a burpee. I haven't done any spring exercises since I was a cheerleader and a dancer...30 years ago. So squating down and jumping up off the floor is a little taxing on the knees. I know I need to lose about 20 pounds and I hope this will enable me to do a burpee. I have done mountain climbers but my burpee is squating down, jumping out, back to a squat and then barely standing up. I do squats, dead lifts, lunges (hate 'em) but burpees are a struggle. Heck, just getting up off the floor is a struggle.
So if there are any 50 plus folks out there that could give me pointers on how to condition my body to eventually do a burpee, I would greatly appreciate it.0 -
Burpees = EVIL!!!!
...That being said, I think they're great.0 -
I don't think I've ever had a client that I didn't do burpees (or a modified version for some of my challenged clients) with. Personally I don't mind doing them.

I love burpees. I feel like a total BAMF doing them :P
For some weird reason I cannot STAND planks. Static planks, twisting planks, whatever, I HATE THEM! I don't even know why because I semi "enjoy" / can tolerate push-ups... But planks. Ugh! No! Just hate them. The weirdest thing is that I know I can hold a 2 minute plank, but I literally have to force myself to get through the first 30 seconds haha - it takes every shred of willpower trust me. I just hate them. No clue why.
Also hate supermans / superman bananas... Just feels so unnatural heh.
Oh oh oh and I HATE side lunges!! My body never wants to go that way xD0 -

Burpees are pretty difficult to do quick when you heavy like me. I have done some, but I don't do them often yet. I'm waiting till I get a bit more in shape. They are great exercise though.0

I hate up & down planks. Start in a plank, lower yourself onto your forearms, raise back up to straight arms. Ugggh.0

I hate burpees with a passion, but love how I feel after they are done. I also hate push-ups, always have - always will.0
