100 BURPEES (aka Squat Thrusts)

Here they are again. They are a great cardio exercise that works out practically every muscle in your body! If this is your second (or more) time doing these, try to do an extra 5-10. **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 them: 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!

    Count me in.

    I have not done a single Burpee for years so this will kill me but I suppose thats a good thing. The more I put myself through the more I will result from it

    Uggghhh.....I hate burpees, but they are effective, so I am in! Will definitely wait until breakfast has digested a bit first though! :sick:

    40 done. I'm taking it slow and only doing 10 at a time. Even that is boosting my heart rate!
