Burpees becoming more of a challenge

Elizabeth Templin McCamic

We're at day 81 of the burpee challenge, and I am already counting down to day 100.

This challenge has been tough. Doing 70 or more burpees a day has definitely been a challenge for me. On days that I run, it's like doing two full workouts - exhausting!

I've been doing the burpees in sets of 10. The first few sets aren't so bad. My arms and core are feeling stronger since we started.

But after the first 30 or 40 burpees, I am ready to throw in the towel. I'm trying to take the remaining days one at a time and remember all the benefits of this challenging work.

I really want to see this one through, so I guess I better go knock out a few burpees.
