Day #285

Days 279 - 284 were mainly just burpees.....I did different sets of core exercises between them and even a small "back" routine one day in between sets of burpees...Day 283 I passed to 40,000 mark which was a great milestone.

Today I did a fun workout with my burpees....Day #285

5 rounds for time
57 burpees
50 walking lunges
50 abmat sit ups....45:57

total count so far....40,755!!! 81 days left....that's very hard to believe.

DAY #278

Days #275, 276 and 277 were only burpees done in Key West! Day #275 was the 9 month mark on this journey.

Today, I saw the WOD on a crossfit site - "Air Force WOD" which was
20 thrusters (65#)
20 Sumo Deadlift High Pull
20 push jerk
20 overhead squats
20 front squats
then 4 burpees every minute on the minute

I decided that was way too much to keep track of....the 20 reps, watching the clock and keeping a tally of all my burpees so I changed it up some

did 4 rounds of 5 thrusters/14 burpees
then 4 rounds of 5 SDHP/14 burpees....and so on
the 4th round of front squat/burpees....I only had to do 12 burpees to hit the 278!

WOW!!! I let my boss design my workout today for Day #274....as if 274 burpees weren't crazy enough.

here's the workout -will be followed by video showing a few reps of each part.

1 burpee (that was the easy part)
20 lateral reaching lunges into and overhead press with a 15# dumbbell in each hand

Day #273

Days #269, 270 and 271 were just burpees....burpees on the weekend tend to just be burpees - can't find the time to get to the gym or the motivation to add to them when I'm at home. Yesterday, I was at the gym for 272....I did a quick cardio warm up for 5 minutes then just banged out all 272 burpees - took about 30 minutes - people at 24 hour fitness looked at me like I was crazy....then I met up with a friend and did a serious old school chest and core workout....with some weighted walking lunges for fun and a few front squats with 80#!! Today is 273 - burpees were slow but consistent. Tomorrow is gonna be an insane workout with them...will post about it tomorrow!!
