Burpee challenge

In my attempt to get fitter I have set myself a new target: Be able to do 50 6-stroke burps by Christmas (yes, 2016, of course).

As of today I managed to do 14 in one setting. This is not very impressive in my own opinion and I have let myself sink into too bad shape.

I believe this is a great exercise and done right has very low potential for injury. Please see video below for how to do this exercise correctly. Please note the low impact in all the movements and that the hands actually come down on the ground quite close to each other to avoid shock to shoulders etc.




I am for now skipping the jump (as I am too heavy), but hope to add that in the future.

The plan until Christmas is to do burpees in one or more sessions for three days, allow one day of rest  (from burpees) and gradually increase the amount I can do.
