It's Time for a Burpee Challenge

I am presenting a Burpee Challenge, starting Sunday, Jun 3rd 2012 and ending on Saturday, August 11th 2012. The format will be based on weekly totals, instead of daily totals as in the past. This will allow you to plan your rest days more easily I believe. The challenge goes as follows:

  1. Week one starts on Sunday, June 3rd. The total for the week is 150 Burpees.
  2.  Perform these in whatever format that you wish, whether it's all at once or breaking them up over the course of the week. 
  3. Each successive week the required total goes up by 50, i.e. week 2 total is 200, week 3 is 250 etc, until week 10 when the total will be 600.
  4. Burpees performed during workouts count toward the weekly total.
  5. Burpee overages cannot be rolled into the following week.
  6. If the weeks required burpees are not completed, they must be made up in the following week, in addition to that weeks burpees
  7. This is the accepted burpee form:  
Benefits of participating in challenge are increased fitness levels, core strength, mobility and a reduction in body fat.  Even if you doubt your ability to complete the challenge, you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain by at least trying. And be sure to follow Body Focus Fitness & Performance on Twitter and Facebook.  You can post updates about your progress and see what others have to say about theirs. Good Luck!
