To honor the service men and women who have died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, some crazy people (including this one) have vowed to do 40 burpees a day until Memorial Day-- 1 for every soldier who has paid the ultimate price for our freedom.  Please join us!

Here's a link to the kickoff we did at Mount Soledad in San Diego:

Good for you!!!!

40 as in 4 sets of 10 or 40 straight, or just do 40 in a day.  If I started at 6 a.m. I might get 40 in by 10:00 p.m.!!!  Good for you!!! 

I will see what my old, fat body can do.

Oh ok.  I youtubed it.  Looks like they're 8-count-bodybuilders.

Now I'm having flashbacks to morning PT:

"8 Count Bodybuilders is an 8 count exercise.  I will count the cadence, you will count the repetitions.  We will do forty of them! You are in the starting position.  Red-Dey! Exercise!"

bingo, that's exactly what I was going to say.  We used to do those in boot camp until it was raining.  As in raining from the ceiling from sweat....

Company Commander would come out and yell with a demonic voice.  Make it rain boys, make it rain...

OK, I'm in.  But I'm a couple days late so I guess I have to do 120 today... /gulp

I still have nightmares from my first day in the Academy when my Drill Instructor was screaming his head off at me. We did 6 count body builders but it went the exact same way. I told myself I would never do another burpee again but this seems like a great challenge so count me IN!
