100 BURPEES (aka Squat Thrusts)

I know, I know... The dreaded Burpees, but they are a great cardio exercise that works out practically every muscle in your body!

**If you are new to this exercise or you have bad knees, simply step back into a plank, hold for a beat and stand back up.**

Here is how to do high impact: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LS3PunC_aE
…or check out this video to view a whole spectrum of low to high impact. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1bqF_WyLyU

Are you feeling *really* inspired today? Try adding a jumping jack in between each one.

Be sure to brag when you’re done!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBjSL8zNVjQ - killer (especially the single leg burpees omg)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiDrFSdI3yg - love fitness blender

    Anyway I thought I would share those links because, personally, I always prefer working out with other people so youtube is the best option! Good luck to anyway whose going to go for it, I know I'll need the luck. Just remember your legs aren't going to fall off you just think they are :laugh:

    Anyway happy burpee-ing!
