Burpee Challenge Workout

Hope you all had a fun weekend! Joe was out of town for a bachelor party and I absolutely relished in having the apartment to myself for a few days (lol). No Joe = clean apartment and the ability to watch all the trashy reality tv shows my little heart desires without judgement. Southern Charm came highly recommended by the Friday afternoon class I taught in Southie so I binged the first two seasons this weekend and honestly I can’t believe I’ve gone this long without having Patricia in my life. Whitney’s mom is EVERYTHING!! Also I could write a 50-page dissertation analyzing Kathryn and I know I haven’t even hit the tip of the iceberg (I’ve only seen the first two seasons so don’t spoil anything for me!!). Big shoutout for the recommendation—officially my new guilty please!

Anyway. Now that I’ve admitted to watching two entire seasons of reality tv over the weekend …

Burpee Challenge Workout

For this workout, you’ll build a burpee variation over the course of two minutes. Every 30 seconds, you add on a movement. After the two minute push, rest 30 seconds before moving onto the next burpee variation. Repeat the circuit of three burpees twice. No equipment needed!

As with all workouts, make sure you’re properly warmed up beforehand and always listen to your body, stopping or modifying as needed.

I know any workout with the word “burpee” in it sounds like torture but I think you’ll be surprised how quickly this one goes! No equipment needed so it’s a great option if you’re traveling or short on space.
