100 Day Burpee Challenge

The entirety of the post below is from http://forums.mmajunkie.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=37894 . I did 44 because of a deal with someone this morning and it put me down, so I decided to give this a shot. I have no doubt I'll be in better shape overall afterward. Who's in? I'll start right now and do one more burpee today. If you're in, post your updates as you do them.
Challenge starts 7/16/2011
I'm of the opinion that the burpee is perhaps the world's greatest exercise, in that it kicks my *ss, and it requires little time and no equipment. I'd like to improve my burpee fitness and am intrigued by the "100 Day Burpee Challenge". Maybe we could get a group going on Junkie?
The idea is to complete burpees each day for 100 consecutive days, increasing in reps each day, starting at 1 burpee on day 1, and finishing with 100 burpees on day 100.
The Rules:
1. Use proper burpee form (start standing, jump feet backward to plank, complete a good form push up, jump forward to squat position, jump up with feet completely off the ground)
2. You can complete each day's burpees all at once, or broken up and done at different times throughout the day
3. If for some reason you miss a day, you have to make up all the missed burpees the following day
4. If you don't start the challenge on the first day, you can "buy-in" at any time by doing ALL the missed days burpees on your first day
5. Any burpees you complete during your regular workout can count towards that day’s Challenge burpees, if you want them to
5. Have fun doing burpees and getting stronger doing it!
So, what say you junkies? Anyone want to start this one week from today ?

I did these for the first time the other day and found them really hard.... so I am in. One down.0

I did one, though it was really crappy!!! I guess I will be working on my form as I go!0
-
Ok after reading this I looked it up on youtube and watched someone do 200 of them. Then I thought, I wonder how many I could do? Then I read that 10 burn around 10 calories so I figured well I should do a hundred to make it worthwhile. So I tried. I did 50 (with pushups!) and was sweating buckets. I could've done more if I really pushed myself. Maybe I'll try for a hundred soon!0
-
I'm in! I just did one! It was sooo hard. Will probably be doing them slowly at first to get the form good!0
