burpee challenge

Keith vs Juan – Battle of the Burpees from CrossFit NYC on Vimeo.
I thought this video was fairly awesome … it is some of my Crossfit buddies (who are much fitter than I am). Teacher vs. pupil in a race to see who can do 100 burpees the fastest. A burpee is like a push-up, except when you are at the top you pop your feet up between your hands and then jump up into the air. They are pretty damn tiring. Anyway, so watch the video, it is like eight minutes long. It made me think of the woman who recently posted to my blog that being fit and working out was “superficial nonsense” … I direct her to challenge participant Keith’s blog-post on the challenge…
