How the Challenge Works

• On day one, do one burpee.
• On day two, do two burpees.
• On day three, do three burpees.
• ....
• On day 99 do 99 burpees
• On day 100 do 100 burpees.

What's a Burpee?

There is the standard burpee and then there is the crossfit burpee, also known as a burpee pushup or a 6-point burpee. For the purposes of this challenge, we are defining a burpee like this:

• Start by standing straight up
• Bend at the hip and place your hands on the floor
• Kick your feet out behind you (you'll be in the plank position)
• Do a pushup with your chest touching the floor
• Quickly bring your feet back up to your hands
• Jump up with your hands above your head and arms at the ears
• If you're past day one, start over again.

There is a YouTube video to the right that shows how these burpees should be done.
