Just started Busy Dad Burpee training. I'm neither Busy, nor a Dad, but was intrigued by its simplicity.

Essentially you just try to increase the amount of Military Style 6 count Burpees you can do in 20 minutes. Alternate with a different form of the burpee,the Navy Seal Burpees (adds 2 mountain climber pushups to Military Burpee).

Did initial tests. 110 6 counts in 20 minutes, and 45 Navy Seal Burpees in 20 minutes...now just gonna grind the reps while adding some yoga, leg work, core work, and pullups to the routine. Kind of excited to get into it.

I've never heard of that before, it sounds exhausting. Probably very good for your conditioning and strength endurance though. How did you feel afterwards?

I'm in okay shape, but I'll admit the most amount of burpees I've done in a single session prior to doing this program was around 50. So yeah, I was sore the next day, but nothing I'm not familiar with.

The Military Style definitely taxes the cardiovascular system, while the Navy Seals push the pressing muscles to failure. Eating a diet that fights inflammation helps with muscle soreness (fatty fish/fish oil, dark leafy greens).

The Busy Dad Program has levels of reps so you have something to aim for, so I guess the next hurdle is reaching 150/60 military/navy, but I'm honestly just happy with how quick and dead simple this routine is.

I will say adding regular pullups to the routine is a must though. You can't do that many pushing exercises day after day without incurring some kind of shoulder injury. Pulling exercises supposedly protect against this, and I believe it.

Anyways, I'll be sticking with this for at least 6 months before considering moving onto something else.
