FK.UK 100 Day Burpee Challenge

So...the FK.UK 100 Day Burpee Challenge is now on its 17th day.

Just in case anyone is unfamiliar with it, we started with 1 burpee on Day 1, then 2 burpees on day 2, and so on - adding one each day until we hit 100 on the 100th day.

The idea was taken from Crossfit Santa Cruz - see here for the CFSC page on rules and form standards.

Well done to all that have signed up so far, and have been nailing their burpees each day.

Here is a link to the '100 Day Burpee Challenge' thread on FK.UK.

However its not too late to join! The "buy-in" to join the challenge at any time is ALL the missed day's burpees on your first day - so to buy-in today would involve a mere 153 burpees!

To help with the counting, see below for a spreadsheet that details the number of burpees to do each day and the total number of burpees so far - or buy-in!.
(Thanks to CFSC for the original template for this.)

Here you go: Burpee Challenge Counter

There is also a simple day counter at right at the bottom of this blog for an easy reminder.

Enjoy.

CrossFit London and FK.UK

Some of you may have seen the new action-packed i-course on offer from CrossFit London...

For those that haven't - here is the link to the page on the CF London site:
CF London i-Course

FK.UK will be teaming up with CrossFit London to help deliver the first ever i-Course on Sunday 21st September.

This date is now sold out, but there are still tickets left for:
Sunday 7th November
Sunday 2nd December

6 hours of skill teaching for £70 - fantastic value.

Also, as mentioned in the CrossFit London i-Newsletter (see what I did there? ;-)), there will shortly be 5 trainers based in and around London - we are hoping to pool together to run regular CrossFit classes in a central location.

Watch this space for updates :-)
