Build-a-Burpee Workshop

Burpees suck. – Dozer

YHC is no prophetic thinker, he just states the obvious. However, one of the things I have learned in 3 plus years of F3 is that there is no other single exercise that does as much for you as the burpee. Another informational nugget YHC has learned is that in order to overcome disdain for a specific exercise or activity, you have to learn to embrace the suck. Burpees won’t go away, so one needs to find something to like about them. With that said, I had an idea around the anatomy of a burpee. What makes up a burpee; read on to find out as the pax of CAT did.
