I Love (Hate) Burpees

I know I'm late, but I've wanted to do this post ever since my November 14th workout.  We did 100 Burpees that day, and during that I knew my post had to be about them.  They're simple, nothing fancy or confusing, but a brutally thorough and complete workout.  After 10 or 15 you hate them, but when you're done and feel your heart pumping and muscles sore you love them...you get the idea.

Ignore the end of the video; it gets into how to modify them to be more difficult.  I love how they can be modified to be more easy.  Just starting out?  Only do the pushup from your knees.  Can't get the umph you need to jump?  Just stretch your hands up and don't.  Can't do 10, no problem, do 5.  If you've got 30 seconds to whip out 5 of these you're in much better shape than had you done nothing.

It's not a squat, plank, pushup, frogger, jump.....it's all of those in 1.  Gotta love it :-)
