And no, it doesn’t mean I am going to belch for 25 straight days. 🙄
I actually hate the name of this exercise, but I don’t like the alternative name either. “Squat thrust” just sounds a bit too, well…
Moving on, then!
They also, depending who you listen to/believe, are not exactly the same exercise anyhow.
For those who don’t know what a burpee is, here’s a quick video:
I had initially planned on this being my next 30 – Day Challenge, but a couple things:
- There’s only 29 days in February.
- I’m still working through this whole neck and back issue.
So, with that being said, this is going to be a slightly more conservative challenge. I am shaving 5 days off this month’s, and I am committing to a far lower number.
Starting on 02/05, the challenge will be to perform at least 25 burpees every day until 02/29.
I settled on 25 because I have not done these in forever, and the previously mentioned issues. I did give myself the caveat of “at least”, which means I can do more if I choose.
Like last month’s challenge, I am giving myself the flexibility of a 24-hour window. They don’t all have to be done at once, although that will be the goal.
I may also throw in a bonus kicker of 50 mountain climbers every other day, but I am still thinking that through. Additionally, if my neck and back act up terribly, I will pull the plug on this challenge.
I’m going to do a test run on Saturday 02/03 to see if this is actually feasible. If not, I’ll have to adapt and come up with a new challenge. I’ll report out every 5 days like I did last month.
Off we go again! Here’s to not trashing my back! 😄
