AM- Well I officially completed 1,000 burpees this morning. I first want to state my own version of a proper burpees, because I have seen several throughout the years. Starting with the feet flat on the ground, going to the ground and doing a full pushup with the chest touching the floor, and jumping up with both feet at the same time, and jumping slightly in the air with hands over head. I actually wasn't sure how this would turn out, because I have only done a total of 200 burpees in one total time span. I didn't know how it would feel even at 500-600, let alone 1,000 of them. I probably went out too fast, by doing sets of 25 for the first 200 to 300. I hit 100 burpees in 6:54, and then 200 in 14:12. By then my arms and shoulders were quite fatigued, and I didn't know if I was going to finish. I just kept chipping away at them, even though I slowed down ALOT by the end and did most of the rest in sets of 10 at a time. I finsihed in 1:54:55. This was probably one of the most brutal workouts that I have ever done, but I am glad to say I have done 1,000 burpees for time. I am sure that I will be very sore for the next couple of days, so I might take a day or two off. No matter how hard it gets, keep moving forward in a positive manner.
