March Madness!!

March is here, and that means it's time for March Madness! And no, I don't mean basketball...who really cares about basketball anyhow??? Folks, this is *real* March Madness: Tom and I have signed on to Mud Run Maniac's 5,000 Burpee Challenge. The goal, complete 5,000 burpees in 31 days. What's a burpee, you ask? It's a simple, yet devilishly ass-kicking exercise that is performed as follows:

1. Begin in a standing position
2. Drop to a squat
3. Kick your legs out and get into push-up position
   3.5. If you're a real badass, do a pushup here. Probably not for those going for the challenge...
4. Hop back into squat position
5. Pop back up to standing position, and follow through with a jump
6. Repeat

The entire process should take no more than a few seconds, especially if you leave out the push-up part.

Doing these in sets of 25 is a great way to get started, and even if you can only do 5 or 10 at a time, give it your best shot and see just how many you can do by month's end...I bet you'll be surprised at how far you can come in such a short time!

Best of luck!
