    I'm in. So far today (Day 1) I have done 20, 10 and another 20.
    10 is comfortably aerobic, 15 I start to go anaerobic and 20 is my current threshold where I have to stop to breathe deeply to re-stabilise.

    Hoping to build some stamina generally - especially as the burpee is a similar movement to the Ashtanga vinyasa - and to help promote some weight loss (about 20lbs fat to lose to ftrst assessment).

    Uh oh - I can feel another 20 coming on ...

    edit 1: another 20; that's 70 and counting ...
    edit 2: 20 more, just - 10 - more ...
    Get it!!!!

    If I'm being honest, the form on my pushups vary slightly on reps. Sometimes I do a full one, sometimes a half one, sometimes I hit the ground all the way. But there is a push up in there.:wink:

    I've done as many as 200 in a row during a Spartan Race Hurricane Heat and that is not fun especially with a pack on your back full of water and a few other supplies. Just finished my 100 in 6:45 with a full push up in each destroyed the first 65 in less than 3:30sec, but the last 35 had me hurting! It's been a while since I've done that many at one shot I usually do them in sets of 30. Great workout got the blood pumping for sure!

    I did 50 in a super set with my DB flies- was going to do the other 50 between my lunges but ran out of time and really needed to get home.
    10 straight
    10 spider push up
    10 single leg R
    10 single leg L
    10 jump over the bench switch side burpees

    Been a while since I've done A. supersets and B any number of burpees LMAO. Love doing burpee supersets- so great.

    Okay, I fatigued today after this morning. My attempt at 100 was over 8 minutes today. But YAY for the calorie burn!

    I did 25 before my workout and 25 after my workout. (I have to admit the 1st 25 were much prettier...) I'll get my 100 today for sure!

    whole burpee single leg.

    - it's a great push up/plank type mod.

    I split them up today due to time constraint at work (I had to do a workshop during the time I usually get in some extra exercise) between my client and class.
    So I did 50 in the morning, then 50 when I got home this evening. Didn't even bother timing it.

    Oooohh....I may have to give this a go. I do burpees in boot camp class twice a week, but usually only 10 at a time. I can't do the jump at the end due to a back issue, but I usually stand up at and throw my arms over my head and do a little tippy-toe kind of extension, if that makes sense. As close as I can get to jumping. I doubt I can do 100 straight right now, but I can start with sets and work up from there.

    Here's an interesting variation you can try: Start as normal, drop into the push-up position. Now, spread your legs in a V. Cross the right leg over the left ankle ( so you're legs are off to the side a little bit). Now do your normal push-up. Place the right leg back into the V position, and stand up and finish as normal. Next rep, do the same, except cross the left leg over the right during the push-up. This technique hits the obliques a bit more and throws something different into the mix to alleviate boredom.

    Have fun!
