Just some quick reminders, first.
1) Check with your doctor before beginning any exercise regimen.
2) Listen to your body! Take a break, get a drink if needed. No one is judging you. Speed it up, make it harder if it feels right!
3) Don't know an exercise? Look it up in the Exercise Definitions section.
4) Modify exercises however you see fits your needs.
Alright, let's get this done!
From one fitness-addict bookaholic to another, I hope I’ve helped you find your next fix.

I hate burpees as much as the next person, but they are so good for your body! They work all of the big muscle groups and they get your cardio in.
While on vacation in Costa Rica, I met Stephanie, and she told me how much she loves burpees and how she tries to get others to love them, too. So in honor of my new found friendship with Stephanie, today's workout is all about burpees and their different variations with some core work thrown in.
Let the love/hate relationship begin!

Awesome Job with those burpees! They suck in the moment, but you'll be happy you did them later.
And if you're keeping track of the numbers, you just did 110 burpees plus 220 core exercises today on top of working your core during those burpees! Whoohoo! Don't forget about all those push-ups! Your pecks and arms were working hard today with 88 push-ups!
Great, hard workout today. Take the rest of today to rest and stretch because you have another hard one tomorrow!
