New challenge.

    In the effort to find something I could add to my routine I came across something called the 100 burpee challenge. The concept is simple, you go from 1 too 100 burpees over the course of 100 days, with a buy in if you miss a day. Meaning that if you were to miss day 3 on day 4 you would do 7 burpees. A burpee is a cross between and strength and aerobic exercise. It Begin in a standing position, drop into a squat position with your hands on the ground, kick your feet back while lowering yourself without a pushup, return your feet to the squat position while straightening your arms, leap up as high as possible from the squat position with your arms overhead.






   There are multiple variations, some have different jumps, or no jumps. While other involve push-ups of different styles. I'm just going to be doing the standard version as this isn't something I've been doing in my other workouts. This also works well for me as burpees can be done in a small space and really at any time.  I'll give you occasional updates on how I'm doing with the challenge.
