Sometimes it can be tough to keep up with fitness during the holidays. So we are going to have a box challenge of 31 Days of Burpees for the month of December.
Here is how the burpee challenge will work. Day 1 do 1 burpee, day 2 do 2 burpees, day 3 do 3 burpees etc. The great thing is burpees can be done anywhere, home, office, mall, grandma’s house or even the North Pole!
These should be strict burpees. No flopping.
You can join at any time during the first week, however you will have to buy in the missing days. Post your progress to the comments on the website!

Also, I just saw “mall” on the list of places burpees can be done.
Extra credit goes to anyone who films themselves doing burpees in a public place. I would PAY to see that. We should have a contest….
