Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

It is if you're like me with relatively weaker arms connected to a large lump of meat. Does depend which version. I was doing the crossfit version as that's what I thought was correct until I saw what a proper burpee was. I was already at my limit doing pushups so adding crossfit burpees wasn't gonna happen.

Fuck no. I do them during the day in blocks of 10 or 20 when I want to get some blood flowing or when I swap taskes or whatever. It's not a proper fitness regime, it's just to keep blood flowing during the day.

For the "cook something new" I've written "Does microwaving a tub of icecream count?"
This is the level of dedication I'm putting into these

properly

Crossfit/bastard burpee or just a burpee? The jump and press are add-ons. Either way they add up quickly tbf.

Vid of proper burpees

done a burpy

Drink something more fizzy?

Facing each other or spooning?

FWIW if you haven't microwaved a tub of ice cream before then it counts 100%

come for the pandemic mega death.
stay for the fitness chat.

It's basically a upper plank position to standing. There's no pushup, no jump. Much easier.

Actually, I can't do burps either, makes drinking lots of booze a challenge, but I like that, so maybe I'll sub in burpies for burps.

COVID fitness thread?

I thought the "in front of" covered that?

Nah, just did one, not for me.

Obviously I have, but I was hoping nuking a different flavour would count?

Fair enough, I've only ever seen them as the combined thing.

Just tried with a metronome, I think my wheezing count from 1-40 was a touch slow before, so now completely out of breath.

Full extension pushups, crunches, squats with arms crossed, straight leg to 90% bend. 340 seconds, including a few seconds between each set to move in between sets.

Like I said, I’m short (5’4) so the mechanics of pushups and squats mean I can complete reps faster than most.

I'm just drinking 2 daily Whey protein shakes, so no need for exercise.

Just trying to imagine whether there is eye contact or not.

Aka Hippy's servo haul tweets.

This is my equivalent of posting apple pies to threads heading out of control.

It’s his turn at the moment, he’s having a kid in June so it should hopefully switch back to me.

Those were the days... when we were allowed outside to self-harm for weeks on end...
