I wanted to have this discussion with you here in hopes that it may help others as well... As you know I've been stretching then doing burpees every morning & have been adding 1 per day. My goal to begin with was to have a well rounded workout in as short amount of time as possible. I've definitely succeeded on the well rounded part and have noticed a difference in all the following areas: shoulders, arms, abs, thighs, calves, cardio. Tomorrow morning will be 150 days in a row, so 150 burpees. I've varied my sets from 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 per set.
I'm now running into a few issues...
Between stretching and burpees I'm now over 45 minutes. At some point I know I'm going surpass the point of diminishing returns. I also believe that I'm now not giving my body enough time to recover, because my shoulders are stiff on the 1st set and on every set after 100, the last few of each are difficult on my shoulders.
Can you please address:
- What is happening to my body by using this structure?
- How can I implement something else that is time sensitive but still produces results?
- If I'm going to be over 30 minutes per morning, is there a way to get better use/results of my time?
Appreciate you brotha 💪🏻
