    HAHA, I hate them too. I am pretty sure the husband will demand a mental eval. I am doing this challenge first.

    50 a day for the month of February.

    The burn 10 cal a minute if you are about 155. I am 150. So I think it is close.

    It is a full body workout.

    I'm waiting for the gas man to come before I do mine - don't think it would be a good look when he knocks at the door!!

    I think it would be an awesome way to great the gas man.

    Last night I could barely move my thighs to get into bed. I am much better today.

    I've done my 50 but my shoulders hurt rather than my thighs!!! And the gas man didn't come at all!!!!

    I've done my 50 today. Are you doing a push-up at the bottom or just the straight Burpees?

    I am doing the push up but honestly, it is a really sucky pushup. My arms hurt today. UGH

    I've been doing them without the push-up - might try adding them in. Wondered why I wasn't taking as much time as you!!
