    103 posts, 36 hours and the OP still hasn't ponied up. Disappointing.

    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...

    Video actually

    good to know that's the only bit that wasn't accurate :laugh:

    Ur to negative so youd probably do less than 20, stop, then moan like *kitten* about someting girly

    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.

    Have you done any burpees yet? You talk to much

    I knew someone must have seen it- I couldn't POSSIBLY be the only one.

    And this is why we are friends.

    @RoxieDawn HA- but now you see it- and you too can giggle with the rest of the high school boys who do 0 burpees.

    Also- To play the game.

    Zero. My score is Zero- which clearly means I'm in terrible shape.
  • What?! This sounds like an awesome challenge. I'll work this in tomorrow morning.

    Ohhhh come on, not even a 1/2 and fall on your face?.. maybe even take a nap while you are down?

    I did zero because I am not even a quitter.

    I didn't even try. You have to start to be a quitter.

    I could probably get on board with the half burpee nap thing. that sounds up my alley.

    I feel like I'll have to work up to it- I need to develop an extensive nap training plan though- you can't just go head first into a nap burpee- it's a sure fire way to *kitten* your CNS up and possibly trash your spine. I'm just saying. Gotta prepare quite a bit if you want to be taken seriously.

    We will excuse you cause you are right, quitters have to start.. good call..

    Your challenge then is girly 1/2 pushup.. If you take out the 1/2 it just a nap..

    eta I will take you serious when you get up from the nap into burpee position and do a standup.. This done repeated over 12 months should get you in shape to do a full one.

    Listen- I told you- I need an extensive napping plan that rotates in a progressive manner.

    napping- and half pushs.

    But not at the same time- I don't want to hurt myself without a qualified napping trainer to help me.

    Stop trying to gymtimmidate me into doing something beyond my means.

    Stop trying to gymtimmidate me into doing something beyond my means.

    Well I did give you 12 months.. geez.. fintess goals are seriously lacking, but who the heck am I? I can only do 1.

    OH OH OH 12 months- yes- I will work on it- 12 months to a half push up nap burpee- Yes- That's a good goal.
    i'll start training immediately after December- you know you can't do anything till January 1st anyway.

    There won't be room at the gym to do your training after January 1st.

    I'm sure there's a home training program I can work on at home.

    well. I'll start the day after- because- you know why not the day after.
