In 1930 an American physiologist named Royal H. Burpee developed the Burpee test as a part of his PhD thesis…at least according to Wikipedia. Millions of people in the years since have come to rue the day Dr. Burpee had this brilliant idea, but it has helped us all to #getbetter. This is YHC’s least favorite exercise as no matter how far you come, it can still leave you out of breath, meaning its probably working.

From there we entered the Satchelford parking lot for the meat of the workout. Lining up in the middle of the parking lot in a line stretched across it, the PAX were instructed to perform a Burpee suicide. Starting at the middle and going out by one parking space line at a time performing a burpee at each line. Once the edge was reached, a sprint around the outside of the lot down oak hill and satchelford was done with flutter kicks for those that finished first. Next up PAX came back to the middle line and did 2 burpees per parking space line. Sprint around at the end. Once all had finished, we headed for the intersection of Satchelford Rd and Shannon Springs road.
