    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!

    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.

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

    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!! :-)

    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.

    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

    :wink:

    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.
