I see people talking that they did so many in a day, or a challenge includes them with regard to cross-fit. What is it? How do you do it?
Thanks in advance....I know some one knows this

Try this web site. I like it for new routines. This shows you a video on how to properly do a burpee. Good luck. Careful with your knees.

Burpees are one of the silliest exercises I have EVER seen! I HATE them, and I refuse to do them!
I decided not to take a class I used to like at the YMCA because they got a new teacher and she put burpees into the routine every single time.0 -
they're gonna be the death of me..thats all I can say LOL0

I don't like burpees because they look (and feel) WAAAAAAY too silly.
I mean, it looks like they coach doesn't know if they want you to exercise on the floor or standing up. I am willing to do pushups or jumping jacks, but NOT try to basically do both at the same time.
Whoever came up with those silly things should be locked up in a padded room somewhere.0 -

I don't get why they are so bad? Because you look silly doing them? Thats a great reason...0 -

If you think burpees look weird, wait till you see power cleans.0 -

No, I do other things that are hard. I hate burpees because they are silly and a waste of energy.0 -

That's fine, because I feel absolutely no need to be elite. I just want to be reasonably fit and feel good.0 -
These are burpees: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MGljX4bbps
I can't do them but I wish I could... LOL0 -
Until today, I thought they were the rag I put on my shoulder to catch my daughter's spit up when I burped her. Now I know better!! :frown: :sick:0

Ooooh see the burpees my trainer makes me do don't involve the push up they are just hands on floor/step feet together jump them out backwards back in again, jump up...repeat...even with no push up they are hell which I detest with everybone in my body...almost as much as mountain climbers but I feel the exercises I hate most are probably the most effective so give them my all when doing them and worrying about breathing afterwards LOL0

You're not missing anything by not being able to do burpees.
I can do them, but they are just a silly exercise that someone that had too much time on their hands came up with, and I don't like to waste my energy and gym time on them. You can get just as much exercise doing other exercises that aren't nearly as silly.0 -
