101 Burpees

Hello everyone,

Today in class, I decided to time my burpees again as my workout. Last time, I did 102 burpees in 12 min 20 sec or so. This time, I did 101 burpees in 10 min and 15 sec. A two minute time improvement!! Next time, I will be under 10 min!! Ok, time to be worthless for the rest of the day. lol

So how do you do them? Do you have a strategy? Like I know some people will do sets of 10. Or do you just go balls out and do as many as you can? How do you do yours?

Oh, and great work. That's great time.

I do as many as I can when I first start out. I did 25 in a row starting off, then I would do sets of 5's afterwards. I think how many you do in the beginning is the key, how many can you do in a row is critical to how you do on your time. Thats my opinion.
