    Re: 100 Burpee Challenge

    I'm not so bad with the burpees but I excel at the fartees, sometimes at the same time. Sorry, couldn't resist.

    Seriously, that sounds extreme. You'd have to fast for a day before doing it to avoid too much vomiting, as Nikalas described.

    we had been building up to it with one-legged squats - which are great for strengthening legs and ankles and balance for fell purposes

    No she's getting married and emigrating to New Zealand next month, which is a shame because joking aside i like going to see her, she's easy to talk to and a really nice person.

    Tough after my beat the clock run, but not bad. Had to drop a week in the other challenges to compensate. When I find a managable level across all 3 challenges I can progress with them all at once.

    Forgot to try ZHR's one-legged ones.
