I can (slowly) run 5k if asked, I can take things off couriers no problem when they warn me it's heavy, I can run up a flight of stairs without being breathless, I can touch my toes. Those are a better "fitness tests" than 3 minutes of burpees quite honestly. And any other fitness test I've ever done usually have a few markers to test overall fitness because being fit is a really broad term.
Your markers are 30,40,50 in 3 mins!0 -

I'm going to be a nudge... what is it testing other than your ability to do burpees?
Your level of fitness
No not your overall level of fitness. Burpees are only one small aspect of fitness.
Too many excuses!0 -

Hahahah look who's talking. You really think you can measure someone's fitness by the number of bad form burpees one can do in 3 minutes? I guess because a magazine says you can it must be true lol0 -

here's what i think happened...
OP reads Mens Health magazine and sees the fabulous 'burpee fitness test'...
OP makes this thread, all super excited...
OP tries a few burpees....
we all merrily post away....
OP decides he cant admit he can only do 7 good form burpees, even though its a fitness test and the point is to improve your performance over time...1 -

Is girly supposed to be insulting? Nice to see misogyny still alive and well............
There's a thing in management training about not asking anyone to do something you're not prepared to do yourself. I feel like this also applies here. Why the hell should I do what you're demanding when you can't even be bothered to do it yourself? Particularly when you're doing your best to insult a lot of seasoned posters asking for your numbers.3 -
Well I can *easily* do 30 burpees in 3 minutes.
But only after eating red pepper because it upsets my tummy so.
I win.
