    me too.... I do some of Jillian Michael's videos and burpies are her thing too....my son aks me all the time, mom why do keep working out with that lady if you are mad at her? LOL

    LMAO! Yup, that says it all! I tried 30 Day Shred a while back and around my house it's called Satan's 20 Minutes cuz she's efficient but evil!

    What are they?

    Burpees also known as squat thrusts, or in insanity world suicide jumps.. personally I think the term suicide jumps is the most fitting.... (jump up with hands in air. down in a squat, down in pushup position, jump back to squatting, jump back up and repeat.... that is 1) urgh....

    I hated them at first because I was just too tight. Now that I'm loosening up I'm getting better at them so I like them just a tad bit.

    Ugh. Burpies. I know...I know...one of the best exercises out there. But yes - I hate them. My trainer LOVES them (because they are such a good exercise I am sure) but everyone in boot camp seems to feel the same way I do.

    They are getting a tad easier though....

    LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP

    i do not hate burpees i consider them a challenge, at this time i can only do about 4 and then im so out of breath that i have to march in place to catch my breath, but one reason why i wIll LEARN TO LOVE THEM is burpees works EVERY muscle in the body, which is why it's so difficult--and so effective.

    one day im going to be able to say i did 10 without stoping then 15 then 20 i have made them a monthly goal challege to chart my progress my goal is to one day be able to do 25 without stoping but when i get there i will up that goal as well :)
