Okay, I’ll admit it I dread burpees. Every time a trainer throws them into a workout, I wonder if they secretly enjoy watching us suffer. I get that they’re supposed to be a full-body exercise, but does anyone actually like them? Or is it just one of those things we endure because we’re told they’re effective?
I’m all for challenging workouts, but there’s got to be a better way to build endurance without feeling like I’m being hazed. Are there alternatives that give similar results without the misery? Or maybe a trick to making burpees less awful? I’d love to hear how others deal with them or if you’ve found something that works just as well.
Oh, I’d love to be your workout partner we could turn those floor flops into something much more exciting. Burpees might be tough, but watching you struggle sounds like my kind of cardio. That post-workout glow looks good on you let’s make it even hotter.
Oh, so you’re saying my flailing burpees are your entertainment? Guess I’ll start charging admission then! That post-workout glow better come with snacks, partner.
Ugh, burpees are so mainstream. I only do artisanal, handcrafted calisthenics in obscure Brooklyn warehouses. Your “glow” is probably just sweat from poor form.
Oh great, another fitness clown turning sweat into a circus act. Keep your burpees and your stupid glow, I’m here to WORK not be someone’s lunchtime comedy show!
