    What are they?

    you start in a squating position and jump your legs back so your in a plank position, then you jump your legs back up to hands and then do an explosive jump up and then do it all over again!! sounds like tons of fun doesnt it! :)

    Please tell me what a burpee is?

    you start in a squatting position and jump your legs back to a plank position then jump your legs forward to your hands again then do an explosive jump up.... then you do the whole thing over again.

    I am jumping on the "I hate burpees" bandwagon. Evil devlish things. However, they are a really great exercise, if that's what you are looking for I suppose :)

    Who loves a sweet looking core!!! Burpee time!!! :tongue:

    Well, when you put it like THAT... :wink:

    Maybe I won't hate them once I can see my abdominal muscles.

    Hmm - I'm guessing I'm the only one who thought this thread was about a baby burping cloth. Now that I knwo what they are - why in the world are they called burpees? Do they make you burp?
