    These burpees are going to be intersting as I can't even do a full push-up, and even struggle with push-ups on my knees due to very sore knees. Don't think you will be getting an email from me that I did more then attempt to do burpees:smile: Glad it is almost the 1st, can't wait to get started!

    I found this on a web site, and added burpee's under cardio for 180lb person, it is "Burpee's for 180lb person" I hope this helps some of you!!


    Calories for doing Burpee's

    Vigorous calisthenics such as pushups, sit-ups and burpees burn 563 calories an hour for a 155 lb. person. The burn is 472 for someone weighing 130 lbs., 645 for someone at 180 lbs. and 745 for someone who weighs 205 lbs., notes the online site NutriStrategy.

    I'm sure you could do something different under the circumstances. Focus on your diet and weightloss and I'm sure you'll be fine. I know I won't get immunity from this (or the 1lb advantage) so I'm just going to work hard to survive until something I am brilliant at comes along.

    No, the Burpees I believe are for the immunity challenge only. You only have to worry about the Teal Terminator challenges for elimination. The two lowest percentages in our group (Teal Terminators) are up for elimination. Again, I could be wrong, but that's how I read it. If I'm wrong someone correct me! :happy:

    Burpees are not required. They are just for the Immunity.
    The two teams with the lowest % will have two people up for elimination.

    5000 doesn't sound so unrealistic if given 2 weeks times. in my understanding you don't need to do them in a row right?

    I know they are hard but they are also very good for you. (and if you tell me you did 5000 burpees, I am not going to believe you!! So please be honest, its not like we are offering a $1,000,000 at the end of this)

    Challenge excepted! Only 357 burpees a day to get get 5,000 in two weeks!

    Good luck to everyone! I'm just glad they aren't the 8 count burpees my husband does!

    If I could do 357 burbees in a day.... I don't think I'd be doing this challenge - I'd definitely be in maintenance mode. BUT - if you can -- GO FOR IT!! :happy: You would definitely be my hero!
