Burpees are intense! The first time ive heard of them i was at a beginners kickboxing class ( which in no way was it beginners i found out hahah) and it was basically like a boot camp and they made us do burpees on the spot. It was crazy intense, but yeah i do like burpees too!0

Back in 7th grade, they were called squat thrusts. That is the last time I did them, 7th grade. I am 35 now, so that tells you how many years ago that was. I liked them back then, but I am a lot heavier and less agile now. I want to do them, just have fear I'll break something, lol.0

They REALLY hurt my wrists.0

They have their time and place, and those who find the time and place will reap the rewards!0

I am a lot heavier now too and I thought the same thing. That they would probably be the death of me, but the good news is that they still love me too!!!

I have been seeing these and wondering what they were...I just realized Chalene calls them SUMO SQUATS in Turbo Fire, jsut without the push-up in the middle! :-)
It is a LOVE/HATE Relationship for me. I am happy I can do them now!! :-)0 -
I have a love/hate relationship with Burpees.0

The difference is in a true burpee you do a pushup as well. So squat down to put hands on floor, jump your legs out so your are in the pushup position, do a pushup, jump the legs back in to a squat position, rise from the squat position with a jump. Repeat.0 -

Do I like burpees? NO! :noway:
Are burpees a great total body exercise? YES!
We do burpees several times a week in boot camp.
PS:
burpees=a push up at the floor
cherry pickers= no push up

UGH...burpees.
It isn't that I hate them....or love them...I just feel so darn uncoordinated when I do them. I am SLOW, or so it feels.
Thankfully I do them in the comfort and privacy of my own home so as not to injure my pride, possibly depriving society of their dose of comic-relief for the day.0 -

Exactly. :drinker:0 -
Mmmmmmmm Burpees.......... cant say I love them but woah do they give a good burn! I just added them to a 30 min workout and i was drenched. Gotta do what we gotta do! Like someone on here said...Its a love hate relationship!0
-
The only reason I do burpees is because I don't have to do much else to make sure I work most of me, and sometimes I just don't have the time to screw around with much else. REALLY don't like them, as they make me feel like a very slow, very weak, very old person.0

Like you, I am uncoordinated and slow when it comes to burpees. I am currently doing Jillian Michaels 6week 6pack dvd which has burpees in it and I am usually off in the timing. I'm going to have to really see how it is done to get the hang of them. I don't particularly like them, but they are supposed to be good at burning calories. Something we all want! But yes, I am glad I am doing them in the privacy of my home and I love your humor. :laugh:0 -
I have to say that I LOVE BURPEES !!!!
When I first started excersising I could barely do three in a row now they are one of my favourites and being able to do full leg or one leg push-up with them just makes me realize how far I have come in 5 months and I am proud of these accomplishments and so will all of you just stick it out) 0 -
Who "LOVES" Burpees!!? You're on crack. That being said, here's a wicked Burpee workout: 20, 19, 18... 3, 2, 1. For time.0

I hate them.
Haven't tried them since I started losing though, so I've thought about doing finishers with burpeed and see how bad my shape really is...
... probably still hate them afterwards

Really? I've never heard that before. I do them usually in the context of a crossfit metcon though, so doing the pushup would be slower and less efficient.0 -
Burpees are from hell but oh so good for you! They are no joke!0

Well it looks like what my trainer & I call burpees are really cherry pickers according to what I saw above...doesn't matter, I still hate them!
I'm always worried about my shirt riding up and I don't want to flash anyone my flab, so I tuck my shirt in and then of course my big belly is sticking out...so not only am I slow and awkward but they hurt me mentally too.
My trainer has threatened me that any time I say "I can't!" I have to do 10 burpees...amazing motivation to keep my mouth shut! 0 -
You are funny - also on CRACK!
I hate them - I did them today though - it's a love/hate
I thought I was going to throw up - but I'll be doing them again in 2 days
