Shaddowwzz. The point of the burpee challenge? Well, there really isn’t one, except that you will get better at burpees and also a little fitter. I think it is spawned out of Crossfit madness that occurs when too many fit people come up with ‘great’ ideas. We started 57 days ago, this was called Day 1, and on Day 1 everyone did 1 burpee. On day 2 (the very next day), everyone did 2 burpees, and so on. We’re now on day 57 and everyone who has started the challenge now has to do 57 burpees. They can be done at various stages throughout the day, or all 57 can be done in one go. This is on top of the workout. There is however a forfeit for missing days. If you didn’t do yesterday’s, then you must do them today AS WELL AS the 57 for today, ie 113 in total. This is a continuous forfeit, so the more days you miss, the more you have to make up for it. The challenge continues until Day 100, or until your elbows expolde – judt kidding!

Actually, on Day 100 we will be completing the workout called ‘GI JANE’. This workout is 100 burpee/pull-ups for time. You do your burpees under the pull-up bar and on the jump of the burpee you also add in a pull-up.
