But they do such fantastic things for me!

Just curious-what's your most hated exercise that you couldn't drop out of your routine? I just need some laughs while I try to get the feeling back in my body...

    Burpees. I know they're good for me but they make me want to die.

    Stride Jumps... I now have shin splints and having to substitute lower impact stuff for my whole workout. Thought I hated mountain climbers but did ok with those today!

    I do not know what a Bulgarian Split Squat is, but it sounds as fantastic as a Burpee!

    I make my Tai-Jitsu kids do Burpees and they LOVE them. I love the look on the parents faces as they watch these 7 year olds do things that we've all grown to hate. I wish I could go to the gym and do them like the kids do. The final jump up they all scream "Burpee" and laugh.

    LOL @ the kids doing burpees. I wish I was a kid again: anything with a funny sounding name was always awesome, lol

    But yeah, burpees suck. Also just found out that pushing a sled is not my thing, lol

    That looks...there are no words. How do you not cry like a girl? Now, if you finished that set off with a burpee I'd be impressed.

    It hurts like hell that's for sure. I normally superset it with either step-ups or bench jumps too :/

    Maybe one day I will be lord of the still rings. That video makes me feel so weak in comparison

    Jumping jacks. I've gotten pretty good at them now, thanks to Jillian but I still don't like them.
    I enjoy planks. I do planks. Planks are cool.

    funny that so many people dislike Jumping jacks/ star jumps
    I used to love love love them as a child and now I cannot even do them ( i am jump impaired) _ I do jennifer jacks or, I suppose in UK terms, star jennifers - same arm movement, one leg at a time

    Did anybody bother to check out Yuri van Gelder's planks?

    Isn't amazing what the human body is capable of doing?

    Mind you, he has been alleged of using coke *during parties* and has been suspended for this, poor soul.
