FITNESS CHALLENGE: Burpees!
- Do 1 Burpee on June 1, do 2 Burpees on June 2, do 3 Burpees on June 3. Continue adding one more Burpee each day until June 30. This will total 465 burpees by the end of the month!
- If you miss a day, you can make up that day's Burpee count the following day, but remember, this might be manageable at the beginning of the month when the #’s are low, but as we move through the month, I highly suggest doing your Burpees daily because it will quickly add up!
- Toward mid-month, when the numbers start to get high, you can split up your Burpees into sets with short, quick breaks in order to maintain good form and get through the total reps. These “breaks” should be no longer than 30 seconds – 1 minute. For example, on June 25, you might want to do 5 sets of 5 Burpees.
- All reps must be completed at the same time. In other words, on June 20th, you cannot perform 10 Burpees in the morning, and 10 in the evening. At some point during your day, commit to the exercise and get it done! You will not see any strength gains if you break them up.
- Start with hands on the ground in front of your feet. Keep your back straight.
- Kick feet out behind you into the top of the push-up portion of the burpee. Your body should be straight and tight in a flat plank.
- Lower your body into the lowest part of a push-up. Your chest and thighs should ultimately touch the ground at the same time. Remember to keep your whole body, especially your midline, tight.
- Push up into the top of the push-up position again.
- Jump your feet up to your hands into your starting position.
- Jump into the air and clap your hands overhead. Your feet should leave the ground.
Have a Happy and Healthy Day...& GOOD LUCK!
