The challenge works like this:
1- burpee on day one
2 – burpees on day two
3- burpees on day three
etc. – until we reach 100 burpees on day one hundred
Some things to guide you during the challenge:
1. You can complete each day’s burpees all at once, or broken up and done at different times throughout the day.
2. If for some reason you miss a day, you have to make up all the missed burpees the following day.
3. If you don’t start the challenge on day one, you can “buy-in” at any time by doing ALL the missed day’s burpees on your first day.
4. Have fun doing burpees and getting stronger doing it!
5. I made up a spreadsheet to show you how many burpees you need to do each day and a running total of burpees done so far. Email me if you want a copy.
6. Post questions and comments on this web site.
7. I will update the site weekly giving the “weekly burpees” and “buy in” amount for you to follow.
Here is a great video from Crossfit HQ that shows you how to do a burpee and gives you a few variations also.
FYI - if you complete the 100 day challenge, you will have done a total of 5,050 burpees.
This is a list of all of the participants in the challenge so far.

Having fun with the challenge so far; my 3 year old is joining in as best he can. Is Jerry still alive???

I checked in with Jerry and he is alive, but behind in his burpees. He promises to catch up, without killing himself.

Every day! I can’t imagine missing a day. How would I ever catch up? I keep repetitions equal between sets increasing from 12 to 18 per set before adding another set (every 12 days) and starting at 12 again. To get to 60 I’ll eventually be doing 15,15,15,14, then going to 5 sets of 12 for 60. I have yet to find any rehabilitating advantage for doing these. I have mastered the double hop, tend to count out loud in a slow cadence, and sometimes when I’m in the upper numbers of the final sets (day 9, 10, or 11), my feet don’t always go to the starting position and I need the second hop of the double hop to bring my feet to the starting position….just to do it again!!!! The second half will be fun. lots more burpees to be had.
