Burpee Challenge/ Getting fit

[MyUserName]

Burpees are great/horrible. I had them on my circuits this morning before work but sadly/luckily my alarm did not go off so I did not have time to train before taking my daughter to nursery.

However you might not want to depend purely on them and them only. Could you integrate them into a training routine which covers things a little more generally?

Do you go them with the push up and jump? Do integrate a 180 degree turn as you jump?

I used to do burpees with a 10kg weighted vest, 20 at a time, 5 sets with slow jogging recovery. It was very effective but probably contributed to buggering up my knee.

I would not be suprised! That is a beast of a workout though, did all of your team train like that?

Only the sevens players. Fook me, I'm glad that's over.

Did these on alternate days;

if running is bad for your joints then burpees will be even worse. Get a 2nd hand bicycle or a rowing machine instead. Or go swimming.

Thanks, I have a bike might just start cycling 3-4 times a week, it seems the most enjoyable way to exercise, well almost.

Wouldn't one hand bicycle be enough?

Or did you mean second-hand?
