A real burpee always includes the pushup. A lot of people want to drop down from the standing position straight into a pushup position--kinda flopping down. That's wrong. You go from standing, to squatting, to pushup position, pushup, back to squatting position, jump. If you can do 100 of them in like 5-6 minutes, you're in awesome shape. They're also great for adding into bagwork and shadowboxing, or during rest periods.
Yeah thats what I was doing, but fair enough I thought the pushup showed initiative. I'll try 100 later on, sounds like a challange. edit- [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_Dq_NCzj8M[/ame] Don't think they'll look like this though.
Indeed. Now, I'm trying to think of the strangest I have ever been made to do... I usually mix ~30 burpees with 5 other exercises, like mountain climbers (aka slow death), with a minute to breathe before restarting the cycle. 100 is a lot! :blood But, I'll give it a shot just for the heck of it. They don't move much - fake?
We used to do these all the time for basketball. The only difference is at the top we would imitate a jump shot instead of throwing the arms straight overhead. I still do that by habit if I perform this exercise.
Normally I would just think think that but if they were real, and considering how toned she is, I suppose there would be less fat on it therefore less movement...? Probably fake. lol.
This content is protected Just did 100 as close to your description as possible :yep. It was very demanding. Got to 50 in about 2 and half minutes then burnt myself out not long after.
Cheers mate! Coming from the beast himself. How often would an athlete do an exercise like that? It's pretty much guaranteed to get you in great condition (with strict form ofcourse).
Very flattered, thank you. I would take into consideration what your daily schedule and nutritional intake is. What is the end goal? One must also take into consideration "body feel" as forcing the 100 burpees can demotivate you for the next burpee workout. GTG is where it's at, my friend.
True, theyre good questions. My only concern would be nutritional intake but then again I'm used to functioning with low energy levels because I don't eat a lot. (lots of fluids and anti oxidants though) As regards to body feel, I am already looking to improve! I complete maybe 100-150 min pushups once every 2 days average while doing a lot of medium distance running. Thanks for your useful advice.
