Anyone ever tried this? I did it today for the first time....absolutely brutal. I "managed" it in 9 mins 27 seconds. Thought that was a decent time until i read about people doing it in under 5 mins
did it in high school.don't know my time it was a gym class thing but i completed it. the beat was slow too, it wasn't all out or else I wouldn't have been able to finish
Aye, you need to do it in sets, the most i've done in one go is 42. I started off with 30, then 20. Ended up having to do the rest in 10s cos i was struggling. I'll do it again tomorrow or saturday, i'm aiming for under 9 mins.
It's hard to compare times as some people do a little hop to save time (look on youtube). I remember doing it in around 7 minutes years ago. I would never do it now as it is very high impact and my knees feel it. If I could go back in time and change one thing fitness wise it would be to not do high impact conditioning exercises like these. It was fine when I was younger but I am sure I did a lot of damage over the years. (Im still only 29)
just to clarify burpee with a push up or burpee just in push up position before rising again? they're two different variations
Has to have the full push up, it's the only way as far as i'm concerned. Also, you need to squat down into the push up position and not just flop down.
If you haven't done it before, i would just try and get the 100 done and not worry about time. Even if it's in sets of 5 and it takes you 20 odd minutes, it's a start. Then just try and get the time down gradually.
