Have you had a little bump in the road to your 100 day burpee challenge? An illness perhaps? Some creative calculation can put you back on track. Jump back in there today just so you can complete these 100 days. For many of you, this is the first time you have ever performed this wonderful exercise and you are reaping the benefits. You are more than half-way there! I figure there are at least 3 levels of completion (I know, the rules state you have to make up all the days, but bear with me here): Level 3 - Those that keep trying but miss a few days but they jump in there on whatever day just to keep going; Level 2 - Those that successfully complete the program as written by making up those days missed according to the rules; Level 1 - Those that are doing the 33, 66, and 100 # mixes like some of us because we feel adding only 1 a day was “too easy.” There is of course those that will start, then stop their modified burpees, to not restart again.
Ok, so here is my “bump in the road.” Upper respiratory illness that was serious enough to cause me to miss 3 days of burpees. Those of you that know me well enough know this had to be pretty bad because I have burpee-d straight through other illnesses before. I am supposed to be at 66 burpees/day (66 burpees/day from day 33 to day 66, then 100/day from day 67 to 100). 3 days of missed burpees equal 198 burpees. My creative calculation for makeup is that there are 13 more days left before my next transition and increase. This equates to about 15 extra burpees/day to make up those #s. So 81 burpees/day with 82 on day 66 and I still complete my goal. It also helps to look longterm: the 100 day challenge as written will give you 5050 burpees. If you are on the 33, 66, and 100 burpee track you will have performed 6567 Burpees! Since that is my final goal, all make ups for me must add to 6567 by day 100.
