    I have a love/hate relationship with burpees! I hate doing them but love the feeling after I'm done and what they do to my body. Currently doing 100 burpees a day for the month of February if you'd like to join me :)

    We should make a burpee challenge club!

    I used to do burpees as part of softball practice during high school and college. I loved them! They felt like torture during, but I felt so awesome afterward. I can't wait to lose more weight so I can do them again. (I'm not allowed to do squats and such until my knee is healed and/or I get down to 250 pounds.)

    Burpees are one of my least favorite workouts, not beacsue they don't work, but because they are sucky and hurt haha. I hate mountain climbers/knee tucks wayyy more though ha. And I hate lunging off the back of the step. Ugh.

    Our boot camp instructor had us throw in a double pushup in the middle of the burpee.

    Is nobody going to address the "kettlebell kegals" comment? Seiously. I need to know!

    This^^^ Tried to Google it and google did not seem to know either.


    I think she meant to put a "," between kettleball and kegels. Kegels are muscles in the vagina. And if you can strengthen them with a KETTLEBALL, you have other problems. LMAO

    Great thread by the way!

    Hmmm - maybe I'm a weirdo but I LOVE burpees! Mountain climbers, though, can DIAF.

    As far as the kettlebell kegel comment goes - I giggled like a crazy woman when I read that. I thought I was the only one who noticed that..... err.... particular side effect of the swing. :D<3 me some swings -- I'm doing 'em with 50 pounds now!

    Love / hate the first few weeks of being in the Kettleworx regime. Gets easier after around 3 weeks, but those first few weeks you hurt so badly! I love / hate that. Love the Kettleworx programme though! X

    Burpees are my worst nightmare, Yesterday my trainer set up a circuit and after each set we had to Burpees for a minute and then move to the next station. I can do a lot more than when I first started, but I really like lifting much better than burpees. Just saying!!

    Bob Harper just looooooves side burpees. For me, they're worse than regular burpees (and not much is worse than those).

    ETA: Plank bombers. Those are miserable, too.

    That must be the advanced training and I'm still at fetus level. I have to use a chair to help me stand if I try to do 10 of these in a row....100 would kill me.

    I just might have to try "turtle burgers" - that looks awesome. Best part: low carb!!!!
    I'd try the meatloaf without the noodles . . .
