Discussion: Burpees

They get better. Still make me breathe like a draft horse, but I can do a lot more of them than I could at first.

"Burmese" (thread title) = awesome autocorrect? :-)

I recently typed in Monty (as in M Python) and got Minty. What, isn't Monty a name and thus a valid word? (hmm, haven't checked the "damnyouautocorrect" website lately.)

Yup! Apple got me. That's what I get for posting from my phone.

It's amazing how it's easy to do one burpee randomly - like if you're trying to show a friend what it is. But then when you combine them with other exercises and increase the number, they become quite difficult! I realized this when showing some friends some of the hardest gympa moves we do - it wasn't nearly so hard when I hadn't been jumping around for the previous 30 minutes!
