Burpee Challenge/ Getting fit

[proggy]

I am thinking of doing the burpee challenge for 100 days. It seems like a good way to get fit gradually. Any of the fitness experts have any opinion on it? I used to run to keep fit but not so good on the joints. Any other suggestions, would prefer something that can been done at home.

Burpee was a Dam Buster - honest!

Great replies guys I knew I could count in you all!

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.

I hate burpees but if you need some inspiration this should help:

[Gibbon]

10 press ups with clap
10 crunches
10 alt leg thrusts
10 burpees
10 alt Sit ups
10 super mans
10 star jumps
10 press ups
10 straight sit ups
10 burpees

1 min rest

20m press up crawl.


And you’re warmed up!

Good man. I hate Burpees but they get results - maybe try super-setting with straight leg deadlifts as well.

As soon as I stopped playing rugby I swore I would never do a bloody burpee again in my life. I don't mind running repeated shuttle sprints in the blazing sun, I don't mind riding time trials on the bike at 35 degrees like yesterday afternoon and I'm still prone to rowing myself into a fit of puking on the concept2, but burpees, no, never again.
