[nickyhusky]

No, I'll wait for someone to organise one!

Oh, now thrusters, I'd do them. I like them!

Come on you...put your money/thrusters where your mouth is...

Who's else is doing it with you? Erm...everyone that's doing the burpee challenge! This is your favoured alternative

Seeing as its a 50 day challenge you could even do them every other day so you start and finish with us....

21 rep buy-in,done.I'm in.(stupid burpees)

[Chet]

6 burpees today, all on track, lol.

Using this to try and really nail down burpee form.

[grole]

11 burpees done today (missed yesterday).

[Jet]

As a matter of interest.I'll bet you can hit 100 pushups if you can do 100 continuous burpees.The prescribed form has a pushup at the bottom of the movement.So,among other things,i fully expect to be able to do a lot more pushups by the end of this.....
Wow,i feel tired just thinking about a set of 100 of these bad boys.Still,if you're not goal-orientated then you're just training into oblivion.

I'm counting on it. Admittedly I am not even aiming for 100 continuous burpees, I am not totally convinced that I can complete this challenge and if I do I don't believe I will be able to do the 100 in one go. I am however certain I will get further can I can now though and as far as I am concerned that is enough (as long as I give my best).
Currently I can't do 15 pushups with good form without a rest. I will reserve further comment for a few months time!

[sam]

i'm buying in on this when I get in from work tonight - 1+2+3+4+5+6+7 right? 28? easy....

Will look to put up some sort of counter, etc on the FK.UK blog relating to the above start date...

How is that counter going? Only up to seven and already i am forgetting how many I need to do (did 8 today by mistake)

Don't be negative.Believe in yourself always.Imagine yourself completing 100 continous burpees.Imagine the exhaustion,the soaking sweat everything.
Now hold that thought and give a minute or so every day to thinking about it.Eyes on the prize,stay positive and you will succeed.

B.t.w.i'm planning on going into psychology:)

[Chet]

Sam - nice one. Aye, you're right on the numbers, see below.

Grole - It's only 1 more today than the amount you could successfully complete yesterday

Franz - It's on the way. In the meantime, I will put a summary up here every day.

Ok, that's me in! I'll need something to keep me warm in the winter months, why the hell not burpees?

[Chet]

Why not burpees indeed.

Nice one.

Only female in the FK.UK version of the challenge too

The only commitment I am making at the moment is to get the prescribed number of burpees done during the course of the day, and I expect that I will splitting things into sets performed at differents times of the day long before I get half way through the challenge.

Assuming I make it all the way to day 100, I will then start working on doing the 100 in fewer sets from day 101 onwards.
