Burpee Breakdown

Everytime I have the opportunity to Q it is always a challenge to come up with a new and exciting workout that is fun and different but challenges you in different ways.  In trying to come up with something different I kept thinking back to all of the workouts I have attended over the past year and one thing that everyone really loves to hate…The Burpee.  I thought about how cool it would be to center a workout around the burpee.  Everybody loves them, everybody hates them.   I decided to put a little different spin on it.  We would breakdown (or deconstruct) the burpee and center the workout on the different exercises the makeup the burpee.

The clock struck 7:00am and the 11 PAX circled up for the “Burpee Breakdown”.

-Each time of have the opportunity to Q I make it a personal challenge to keep things interesting and have the PAX challenge themselves mentally and physically.  We all have times that we need to be able to push through and overcome trials and tribulations and I believe this helps build us to where we can handle those things in our lives better.
