Starting June 1st until September 1st (2009) Foundation CrossFit will be challenging people to do burpees throughout the summer.
What is a burpee? Well there's no equipment needed- just your body and some room to move.
1. Start in a completely standing positionRinse, wash, repeat.
2. Squat down to put your hands on the ground
3. Kick your feet back so that you are in a plank position (aka the top of a pushup)
4. Do a pushup (you can modify it if you don't possess the strength and do it from your knees!)
5. Jump your feet back in so that you're in the same position as Step 2.
6. Stand up so you're in the same position as Step 1.
7. Jump up at least 6 inches above your highest reach and clap overhead.
On Day 1 (June 1st) you do one burpee. Day 2 (June 2nd) you do two. Three burpees on Day 3, four on Day 4 and so on and so forth. We will continue to do them until September 1st.
You didn't even need to start on Day 1! You can "buy in" by doing whatever the total burpees from the start was, so for example today is June 4th. You can buy in for ten total burpees (Day 1 + Day 2 + Day 3 + Day 4 = 10). Get it? I'll be posting Day count and Buy-In amount here.
As Max would say: YAY BURPEES! GET YOU SOME.
