100 burpees or squat thrusts, a hard and quick workout

Sunday, August 1, 2010

Here's a quick way to get a nice workout that will work your whole body and your lungs and heart. Do either burpees or squat thrusts for 100 reps and time it. To explain it simply, use any number of sets or direct reps to get to 100 total and record the time, and try to increase your time each new workout. If burpees are too hard, do squat thrusts instead.

It's typical for you to do a lot of reps at the beginning, and later in the workout to go slower and your heart and lungs will be going. This workout works both the muscles and the anaerobic system. Most people can't do 100 straight burpees, and instead will have to take short breaks in between sets, and that's how it works different energy systems.
