And it Begins…

Friday, October 10, 2008

Day one of the 100-day Burpee Challenge. Doesn't sound too bad - one burpee today. Here's how it works...
- Today, day one, 1 burpee. Tomorrow, day two, 2 burpees. Continue this way until January 17th, day 100, and, you guessed it, 100 burpees!
- This is an individual challenge, so if you have a place during your day (home, work, outdoors, etc) that is large enough for you to do a push-up, you can join us!
- Miss a day? No problem, just make up the burpees the next day (so if you miss day 30, on day 31, you do 61 burpees - 30 + 31)
- Did burpees in a workout? Good news - you may count them toward your required burpees for the day.
- Do more burpees today than required? Sorry... you can't "pre-load" and get credit for burpees done in advance.
- Want to join in after we've begun? No problem... the "buy-in" on your first day is the total number of burpees you've missed thus far, plus all burpees that day (on day 10, buy-in is 55 burpees).
Good luck... and post to comments if you're "IN"!

This is a video of a burpee.
**NOTE - a full burpee includes a clap over your head while in the air

100 baseline in 9:54. My 20 month old daughter was the best cheerleader. High 5'd me, gave me water to sip, did a couple burpees with me here and there, and wiped the sweat off my face as I lay in the familiar corpse position after it was all over with. Future CrossFitter in training. Can't wait to meet you all out at CrossFit LA!

I am now in on DAY 10!!!!!!! Yaaayyy! I completed 55 big ones this evening for my buy-in. Will do my baseline 100 tomorrow and will post my time. I will also make sure to wear some socks and shoes this time around because I learned that doing burpees on carpet with bare feet is an excellent way to get unwanted blisters, which I now I have to take of. Boo blisters. Anyways folks. It's on! Let's do this! -TR
