Day 10!

Today is Day 10 of the burpee challenge.  We are now a third of the way through our challenge and have completed a total of 55 burpees.  I am very impressed with all the students, staff and parents that have been working so hard at school and home and sticking with the challenge.  It is a difficult challenge and it's great to see the enthusiasm everyone has shown so far! 

It doesn't get any easier from here though.  Over the next twenty days we will be completing over 400 burpees.  You do not want to miss too many days in a row now because they will add up quickly and can get overwhelming if you have lots to do in one day.  As we get further into the challenge you may need to start breaking them up a little more throughout the day.  Ten isn't too bad all at once but 15 or 20 in a row can really get the heart pumping and if your not use to it can cause some muscle soreness.  Ultimately, the goal here is to get some exercise everyday and not get hurt, so make sure you listen to your body and don't overdue it.  Good luck and keep up the good work!
