I had never heard of burpees until yesterday when I read this post. Last night I was talking to my daughter and I said I couldn't get my walk in because it was pouring down rain. She said "That's okay Mom, you can do burpees instead." Whoa! Syncronicity! Burpees in the air, la-la-la, la-la-la, Burpees in the air ------------------------ <strong>@Urban Panther, Ha! A sign indeed! Did you do your burpees? :)</strong> @Mark – Okay, this is too funny. I had never heard of burpees until yesterday when I read this post.

Have been doing these for years and sorry to say -they still hurt! Mark, next time you find a killer exercise, keep it to yourself or even better, just post a video of yourself performing it and we'll all supervise.....and provide feedback of course! Thanks for the post...I think...! Quick note: Burpees can tighten hip flexors substantially so remember to include hip flexor stretches to counter act any tightness. ----------------------------------------------- <strong>@christinekambo, I will post a video of my wife doing these exercises...she is much more photogenic! Yes the hip flexors can feel the pain! Thanks for your feedback!</strong> Love the Burpee! Have been doing these for years and sorry to say -they still hurt!

The name I had for it was a bit more profane. :) Thanks for reminding me of it! I'll try it now that I'm in better shape and see if it's any easier.

I agree 'burpee' reminds me of the word 'slurpee'. LOL I remember doing the squat-thrusts in boot camp as a disciplinary action whenever we did something wrong. They are quite exhausting and yes they can be quite the challenge. I recommend givin' these a try AFTER or at the end of your workout. A great way to deplete your system! Great thoughts as always my friend. --------------------------------- <strong>@Strong One, good idea...they do burn you out!</strong> Yeah… I agree ‘burpee’ reminds me of the word ‘slurpee’. LOL
