CUTE CORGIS DOING BURPEES!

Well, maybe they aren't doing burpees. Leismer and just did our Day 2 burpees.  Who else did ten today? 

If you have time to read this, you have time to do ten burpees.  It's less than a minute of your day!

Random fun links about burpees:
One possible history via the Washington Post
And from the fitness wiki

Somehow there are not as many fun links about burpees as there are about corgis.

Training is better when you're in it together!

THE MAC RUGBY 50-DAY BURPEE CHALLENGE

Most of you are home now, or taking that last final. We are going to change things up because 1) it's good to disrupt your workout routine with new material and 2) some of you may have limited access to the gym/track.You can do these workouts with a few feet of space and no equipment. Basically, NO EXCUSES!

Here's how it works: Days 1-10, you do 10 burpees each day. On Day 11, you do 11 burpees; on Day 12 you do 12 burpees; on Day 13, you do 13 burpees; and so on. If you miss a day, you have to do all of the previous days burpees the next day. So if you miss Day 10, on Day 11 you have to do 21 burpees. Maybe just don't miss days. 

Just to show you how easy and excuse-proof this is, Heimel and I are also participating in the challenge. We we are going to do our burpees every day, and post our times. You can also post in the comments and encourage each other to participate! Let's go! Do your 10 burpees now!
