Burpee test!

So I did my burpee test this morning. I did three rounds, three minutes each with a one minute rest between rounds. The purpose of doing it in three rounds instead of the 10 minute burpee challenge, is so that I can better gauge my recovery as well. For my purposes this 3 round style is better than a 10 minute challenge. Here is the breakdown:

Round 1 - 35 burpees

Round 2 - 33 burpees

Round 3 - 34 burpees

Total is 102 burpees over an 11 minute time period.

My overall recovery between rounds was better than expected, but I think it may because I over-paced myself in the first round. I think I could have been in the mid to low 40s first round, but my subsequent rounds would have been lucky to hit the 30s I think. In one months time I would like to see a 75-100% improvement. I'm not sure if that is possible, but it is the goal.

Also, since I will be weighing myself twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, I'll list my morning weight here:

Morning weight - 209 lbs.
