I can't remember. She downloaded the cadence wich was 4 seconds I think and she wasn't allowed to fall out of cadence (Not alllowed to go faster or slower) So I guess I can remember. Circa 4sx 300 = 20 minutes.<br />
<br />
We recorded it and she actually did 304. If you met her, she doesn't look like a really fit athelete. Just has immense willpower with her genreal fitness. She is quite active<br />

Ah ok, so she was doing them slower than I was then. My effort definitely more of a sprint which if I could keep it up would have meant I did em in 12 or so minutes ( which if I tried would result in me dying first ).<br />
<br />
But hey, I'm sounding churlish, 304 is a fantastic effort. That is seriously fit as fuck. -
And you don't do the full Press-up, ya puss! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Holy shitballs Hooroo, your flatmate must be a machine. 300 full burpees including starjump & pressup... I'd be challengeing M4L's time.<br />
<br />
The 50 straight without pressup sounds like something worth a go. I'll post my time once I've tried it.<br />

It's a sprint MR, not a marathon...... -
2:41. Out of the blocks like a dog shot in the arse before fading like the big girls flowery blouse that everybody knows I am.<br />
<br />
Was 25 down at about 57 seconds... then had to have a breather and it was set of about 7 or 8 from then on. Last 10 took me 41 seconds, I was completely blown.<br />
<br />
Defo room for improvement. Did enjoy the little burst though, I dont do much (well any, actually) sprint work. -
Good first up from you there MR, I'm of the school of thought that shorter intense cardio is more beneficial than longer stuff. I mean tell a casual observer that ya only doing a few minutes and they will have a go....until they try it and just about pass out that is.<br />
<br />
Another go tomorrow, hoping to crack the 2 minute mark.....I simply can't do 50 in a row ( yet ) at the pace I was doing so the trick is to shorten the rest period by 15 or so seconds. I'm dreading it already. -
what I did today took around 25 mins, but sweat was pouring off me, so much so that it stings my eyes on the planks at the end...short sharp is how I like it, and with the kids about certainly dont have time for long sessions!

At least I've done it........ <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/fishing.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':fishing:' /> -
Did 3:10 doing the pushup part. Prefer doing this as it farks me up more.<br />
<br />
I think I'm getting the bug for these things. Minimal time required but gutwrenching workout acheived. Did 2 sets of 20 after this and that was enough. Will try doing them regularly. -

2013 will involve me having a bit more willpower when it comes to these suckers. Any excuse not to do em !<br />
<br />
Only a few minutes but the extra few minutes to crawl up the stairs can be a challenge..... -
Fuck ! Smashed 40 in no time at all, rested a few seconds hit the fucken wall and the last ten just about killed me......<br />
<br />
2:04.......<br />
<br />
I reckon I'll get to a level hopefully soon where I do the 50 in a row ideally around the 1:45 mark.
