Or if you and the shift meet somewhere to eat, you don’t want to be the guy who pulls out his own food. I totally get it man!!

We got a call 2 weeks ago for a black bear that was around the school. We even had a good number of polar bears walking around about 1.5 months ago.

Hey Adrian, thanks for checking out the channel man!! Glad to hear you’re a fan of burpees too! MT push-ups are a great exercise, so combining them with burpee sounds wonderfully terrible👍.

Great summary of why you do this horrible exercise. Nice to see its warm up there too. ;-)

David - Thanks for your personal fitness information. Sorry if I missed in in the video, but how often do you work out in a week and of that weekly workout, how many workouts are burpees?

@DavidWhitten

Жыл бұрын

Hey there man, thanks for checking out the video. It is appreciated for sure. And you didn’t miss that info in the video. But I do workout at least 6 days a week. Some days might only be a quick 100 burpees but I always try to do something on those 6 days. As for how many of them involve burpees….man if I’m being honest, I do them in every workout haha. Again some of the times the reps and number would be lower, but it a rare day where I don’t get a few burpee reps in.

I stuck with burpees and a few years into my journey I still am taken aback by the health results I have yielded. The physique is a bonus, NOT the reason I keep burpees as a foundation to my health and fitness. Everyone I speak to has a generic hatred towards them because theyre hard. Each to thier own.

Hey there Kems. I would totally agree with you about the true benefits from doing burpees. Look’s and physique aren’t the main reason at all! It’s the overall physical and mental wellbeing they provide, which has me coming back day after day👍. Really happy to have read your comment. Thanks for your time and support. I appreciate it!

Hey David great video. Did you get bigger and stronger through training burpees? I know you definitely got stronger but did you get bigger I guess would be a better question.😊

@DavidWhitten

Жыл бұрын

Hey Mahad, thanks for the comment and great question. Yes I’ve definitely gotten stronger, as you’ve said. As for bigger, I think over all I’ve gotten a little bigger however, it wouldn’t be the same, or the results wouldn’t be the same, as if someone trained with weights consistently for 3 years. I think it all depends on what your goals for training are Mahad. I’m getting a little bit older now(43) so size is less important to me then simply being in good overall fitness. I hope that answers your question. Do you currently train or exercise with burpees?

@@yocrazayfreak thanks for the update on the 20-1 routine👍. In my opinion, if you keep training with bodyweight exercises, you will certainly increase your cardio ability, as well it will keep you lean. You can still get bigger, however adding some weight, or higher pump burpees would probably help in that area. I’m certainly not a professional trainer though, so please keep that in mind. Feel free to come back any time and let me know how you’re doing with your training👍.
