I had just finished blasting a 06:15 gym class and was absolutely exhausted. For some reason, I thought its a good idea to mention it’s my birthday this week and immediately my PT stops and he has a certain look on his face. My PT is a lovely guy, but he’s up for a bit of banter. He asks me if I’ve ever heard of Birthday Burpees. I say no, and he asks if I’m down for a challenge.
I’m writing this 50 Burpees later (rounded and doubled for my age because "he likes round numbers), lying on the floor struggling to type because of the sweat.
God I’m unfit :)
TL;DR Don’t say yes to birthday burpees
So yup… personal note: when the PT asks if it’s my b-day, I’M SAYING NO. lol
Those are the best, we always did birthday-challenges! Often 2x your amount as pushups and 1x as pull-ups. Or you’d count congratulations and do one for every!
One regular age year older and one metabolic age year younger
Challenge: reach 50 and be able to do birthday burpees with nothing more than a shrug :)
