Day 35 - Broomball Burpees

These pics are from last week's post broomball game burpee bash. Hoop (still with helmet on - burpees can be dangerous!), Hobs, Buss, Slitty and myself in the foreground did the remainder of our day 28 burpees outdoors after our game. We may have lost the game, but we were all burpee winners (wow, can anyone smell cheese?)

Tonight will be day 35 burpees - for me at least split up into pregame and then post game burpees!

Day 31 & Day 32

I guess Super Bowl weekend got in the way of any posting! But, at least for me, it was a burpee weekend. I cranked out day 31 and 32 burpees + the remaining 80 i had to make up. I'm all caught up!


I just read through all the comments from Friday's post - I didn't have any idea there were SO many people involved! We all made it to Day 30, now lets keep each other going as we get to days 40, 50, 60....


Lastly, a picture of Slitty (this is back from Day 11) doing some outdoor burpees!

Day 24 from California

My new attitude about thinking about how much I am improving (instead of sucking) is really helping me. Today I realized I did 15 with good push-up form and it wasn't until about 19 that my form got worse. Also still trying to do them all at once instead of sets. Also thanks to everyone who is adding locations. In case the whole multi-step google doc is too complicated I've posted the list here:

1/20/2009 16:48:01 Big Sur, California
1/20/2009 16:48:26 The Subway (N train)
1/20/2009 17:51:25 Kalahari Water Park
1/20/2009 20:14:04 Broomball rink
1/21/2009 4:54:57 Basketball court after pick-up
1/21/2009 4:55:36 A bar! (Dram Shop)
1/22/2009 13:06:34 in the bedroom with booty shorts on
1/23/2009 7:37:09 Parking Garage
1/23/2009 13:09:29 hockey rink press box
1/23/2009 19:07:11 I was in bed, falling into dreamland and I realized I did not do my burpees for the day. So I got out of bed and busted out 20 burpees! Why is this unusual? Well, I sleep in the nude and it was dark so I didn't bother to put my shorts on. Naked burpees - I don't recommend them.
1/24/2009 10:16:35 Webster hall lobby (1 set) and then dancefloor (1 set)

Meeting boring? Conference Room Burpees!

Russ, shown here, does his burpees in the office conference room! Definitely one for the blog sidebar! Keep sending in your burpee photos to shpaddock at gmail dot com.

Noob!

The more the merrier, I always say.

I took Rachel up on her offer of blogging here and she was gracious enough to let me. I think that the group support thing will help immensely as this thing wears forward.

I started just a day after all of you. Here is my 100 burpee challenge blog. I call it the world's second dullest blog (here is the first) since I just write a small note every day about my burpees.

I also blog, here, here, and this is my homebase. I think I might blog at one or two other places, but can't remember. So I am representing Wisco in this thing, and plan on doing some farm burpees when things start to thaw out a bit, later in the spring.

I already did a burpee in a giant waterpark called the Kalahari. My wife was super not impressed by the scene I made in the kiddy pool doing that burpee. But oh well. Speaking of the wife, she joined me in this quest and is doing wonderfully.

I am not a rugger like you folks (I think that is what brings you together, yes?) but I do distance running, strength training (like crossfit), distance cycling and Muay Thai kickboxing. Oh yea, I am a dad of two and own my own business.

So what I am trying to say is that I have a MILLION reasons not to do the burpees, but only one to do them - my health. And the satisfaction of knowing I conquered the challenge. So hello to all of you - I look forward to contributing here and giving you folks support if/when you need it.

Bar Burpees

How could we post about our burpees this weekend - we were too busy doing them in fun places!

Pictured here are Hobs (left) and Jayne doing Day 11 burpees at Dram Shoppe in Brooklyn. The left photo was location #2 after being asked to move from location #1 (middle of the bar) pictured in the middle. The "11" was sported post burpees!

Sorry its so dark, blackberry cameras aren't that great!

Day 11 from California

Even though we have many contributors to this blog it seems everyone failed to blog day 10 and day 11. So since I am on Pacific time I'll close the weekend out. I finally got to have a buddy for burpees and get to add to places to burpee. Yesterday I met Rif for a lovely hike in Orange County (8 miles round trip). She had two days of burpees to do and completed them on the hiking trail (beautiful back drop). I had already done mine for the day as I am on the wake up- put on my contacts and a sports bra and burpee plan, however I was able to get some feedback on my form. I am still having issues with my low back collapsing and need to tighten my abs during the push up phase.

Hope the double digits went okay for everyone else!

Day 4 - Basketball Burpees

Hoop, KT Mac, Hobs, Slitty, Me

So, here are 2 photos of my 2nd fun place to burpee - with friends while taking a basketball break at a park in Brooklyn. We weren't actually trying to show the differnt phases of the burpee, it just happened that way! And who knew Sarah Litt had such ups!!
