I have decided to do the 100 Day Burpee Challenge and invite all you to join. The first day will be Friday, April 3. The rules:

1. Use Burgener's burpee standards for form (check out the official standards and the demonstration video).
2. You can complete each day's burpees all at once, or broken up and done at different times throughout the day.
3. If for some reason you miss a day, you have to make up all the missed burpees the following day.
4. If you don't start the challenge on day 1 (April 3), you can "buy-in" at any time by doing ALL the missed day's burpees on your first day.
5. Any burpees you complete during your regular workout can count towards that day?s Challenge burpees, if you want them to.

Let's see if we can get through this 🙂

While I'm not in this challenge (hmm maybe I will join late) I just wanted to say thanks for the form video. I'm doing CF mainsite now (few months behind) and always struggled with high rep burpees. Last night I discovered it was because I was crashing down into the push-up. I focused on going slightly slower but squatting down then kicking legs out as shown in the video, made a HUGE differnece. I did the 10 rounds for time of 12 pull-ups/burpees (scaled to 9 reps per round, 90 total) faster than I expected because of the change.

Hmm if I count those 90 from last night I'm only 1 off not counting the 15 for 4/16/09, what a coincidence.

That's great to hear. Many of the videos on the Crossfit Exercises page are very helpful & amusing, so check them out when you have time.

Well, then I don't think you have any choice now. You'll just have to join us and keep improving your burpee form 🙂
 
4/16 - 14 + 1 as part of warm-up today, now 105 total and caught up. I'm doing them strict form as in the CF demo because of the added benefit of the push-up. My high-rep push-ups are weak and it ruins any WOD time with push-ups.
