I stole this challenge from another site:
The Burpee Challenge
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your hands raised over your head. Now squat down and place your palms on the floor by your feet.
Kick both of your legs back so that you're now in position to do a pushup.
Bend your elbows and lower your body until it's about one inch off of the floor.
Now push yourself back up and at the end of the pushup quickly pull both knees into your chest while keeping your hands on the floor. You're basically jumping back into the squat position found in the first step.
Stand straight up jumping 3-4 inches by straightening your legs and throwing your hands in the air over your head. You're now in the position that you started in, repeat as needed.
This is one rep. Now, the burpees challenge is about doing a series of descending sets of those. So If you first do 20, then you have to do 19, then 18, down to 0. Now, this might seem easy enough but there are time frame limits to respect.
The Rules :
The total time allowed is 30 minutes. You cannot remove any motion part of the movement or else reps won't count.
Level one : 20 descending sets in 30 minutes or less. You are now a man.
When you reach down to 20:00 or less, you can try the test for level two.
Level two : 25 descending sets in 30 minutes or less. People think twice before messing with you.
When you reach down to 25:00 or less, you can try the test fort level three.
Level three : Being able to perform 30 descending sets walking across the room as a break. You are bona fide stud and nobody's going to mess with you.
This doesnt have an end date. Its on-going as one can continue to improve and post times.
