and there is no way I can just double this every day, well o can but I wont make it past day day 7. maybe not even day 5 lol
and for a more detailed explanation of a burpie youtube it, I will not post any link because there are variations, and I will leave it to you to decide which one is right for you, all of the are great body weight exercises, from what I saw0 -
No way I could double either! The exponential factor is too strong!
Day 1: 1
Day 2: 2
Day 3: 4
Day 4: 8
Day 5: 16
I've hit the "yeah right" factor there. And Day 6 and 7? HAH HAH HAH!
But adding one a day for 30 days... I can do that.
Gotta set a reminder on my phone so I remember to do it !0 -
day four done,
10 burpies total so far.
again; I decided that since I want to increase my upper body strength, that I'll add the pushups.
but it takes away from the cardio aspect since I pause for the pushup
so which variation of this do you guys prefer
Shouldn't be much of a pause for the pushup. Should all flow. I love/hate burpees and do them everyday. For your pushups you can try elevating your hands to make them easier to work on the upper body strength. That's with pushups separately to help when you have to do them during the burpee session.0 -

What do you mean by 'elevating your hands'?
I'm assuming you mean putting them somewhere other than the traditional placement?0 -
I finished day 59 and I had to give up because my knees just couldn't take it. I was trying to make up too many days at a time. I think I did about 140 two days in a row to catch up after being sick. I managed to complete the squat challenge, though.
good luck!!0 -
no worries, congrats on the day 59 and the last ditch effort after coming back from being sick,
I just hope your still doing something, lol0 -
Thank you and I sure am! I have to workout at lunch. It's good for my body and brain. haha0

Perfect I will start my burpee challenge tonight. So I just do as many as I can (with good form) and increase the number? or do I start with one and gradually increase by one? I want this challenge to make me sweat. What to do....0
-
for me I started at one, but the first few days are really easy, you can start with more if you want0

Day 1 of burpee challenge. OMG 5 burpees and my arms are spent. Feeling okay enough to challenge myself tomorrow.0

Day 3. Feeling sore as hell...just the way I like it.
@Myxalplyx I have the video but it downloaded upside down. Should I still post it on fitness fb or forget about it.0 -
If you cant do a proper burpee you can do it with a bench, or walk your feet out until you get in better shape.0

Day 6...15 burpees. How many days are in the challenge by the way?0
