And too know this ; I’m 290lbs flopping down on the ground – even the big can do burpees, heck – an old gym floor memory…
She was obese and SMASHING burpees. Did probably 100 in minutes, sets of ten, rest thirty seconds, repeat, repeat, repeat.
You’re where you’re at, so put in the work.
It’s YOUR starting point, YOUR path.
I can’t say with certainty where this’ll go, many things we move on from before completion – the goal is no longer the goal, the goal changes, the goal changed…
I recall being about 175lbs as a teenager. Funny to recall thinking “I’m small”, and stressing that I may never be 200lbs (which is funny in hindsight as I had already been 212 chubby pounds before losing weight)…
Here I am but 10-12lbs under 300.
“Could I ever get below 260”
Life’s a trip.
As winter turns to spring in addition to the kettlebell I’m doing burpees.
Even if it’s only a few, do em – start somewhere. Continue.
Enjoy the journey.
It’s worth it.
I don’t care if it’s 20×1 and takes you 20:00.
Start.
Less than three months too til 8 years of daily pushups no missed days.
Maybe a switch from press every day to ; burpee, curl, swing…hahaha, I’ll probably still do at least one rep of kettlebell press for forever.
I’m feeling the burpee, kettlebell, barbell curl, pullups (20+ again, preferably 30), and to have a decent (≤6:00) mile run again.
Spring time. It makes all around and varied training far more accessible.
