2000 Burpees. Well, as of tonight, 2000 Burpees. 20% of the end goal. Is it working? Yes. I think so....I use our ReNa workouts at the gym as my gauge/baseline.
Things I have noticed.
1. My relaxed (not panicking, sweating, exhausted) 20 second burpee has improved from 8 to 9.
2. My form is better. (For at least the first half of the workout)
3. I am more confident at the ReNA (formerly tabata) workouts.
4. I am making decisions ahead of time - a plan if you will - instead of just working out until I am exhausted and then limping the rest of the way.
5. I haven't had to do any make up burpees at the end of workout to get the 100 for the last week or so.
6. I still hate them. All 100 of them.
7. Making a game out of it makes it slightly more pleasant.
8. I am pushing myself harder in workouts than I was.
9. For the first time I am doing a daily workout at home - self - imposed.
10. I am motivated by the health challenges of my family....I have a personal goal to keep my own, hips knees and ability to breathe for as long as humanly possible.
So there's the update. I will check back in at 3000. I challenge you. Do something 100 times for 100 days. It's not as hard as you think. It's not pleasant either....I am told it will change my mind and body...maybe it will change yours too!
