Burpees are wonderful. They are a good and simple, brutally effective, full body workout that improves mobility, strength, and conditioning all in one tidy package.

They are not punishment.

That said, if you’d like to avoid burpees, get to the Rush Center today for our 6:15 workout. Otherwise, Tuesday’s challenge is:

100 burpees

These can be done either as 10 sets of 10, or in one single set of 100. If you choose the first option, the 10 should be done as quickly and smoothly as possible, using each set to tweak your burpees into ever higher planes of efficiency. If you choose the latter, find a steady pace that lets you grind through without slowly but without cease.

Whichever option, positive burpee thoughts only as you burpee.
