Happy Wellfie Wednesday! Welcome back! For today’s Wellfie Wednesday Blog Post: Try Burpees. This week is short and sweet, as is only consists of a challenge to our readers. Though a quick back story may be helpful. Three of us here on the WW Crew are actually on a team called the “Wellfie Crew,” participating in this year’s Summer of MOVE (check out the link to learn more), where teams compete for their chosen charities, though it is truly backed with a message of increasing human movement for risk reduction of chronic diseases. Nonetheless, we’re entering our final week of the “regular season” and our team as been striving to complete many of the challenges within the game, one of which is 100 BURPEES with a partner.

Now that you have a quick idea of where today’s challenge came from, what is a burpee? A burpee is essential a full body strengthening exercise, with a rather large aerobic component (depending on how many you do). Check out the video below for the basic instructions and check out this video if you have any concerns to irritating the shoulders or lower back. Also of course you reduce intensity by removing the push up or the jump.
