i was reading up on the facility that the actors and stunt team of the movie "300" trained at....they had them do a timed routine called "300" and it looked pretty brutal...I'd say worse than the Burpees. Check it out http://www.gymjones.com/knowledge.php?id=35

I read up on that program before, and those guys were a bunch of freakin' animals! That is one heck of a workout routine.

We do burpees in our dojo at least 1 or 2 times a week. Our Sensei challenges us with doing 50 burpees in less 5min. and another one is 100 burpees in less than 10min. They make me sick every time.

That is awesome. I have trouble with them, especially the push-up part. Mainly because, well, my push-ups suck. I will work on them, though.

I do not think its awsome sometimes. lol
I do them sometimes at home maybe 20 or 30 of them because they are a total body work out our sensei told us if you want to make them harder spin around on the jump and do them.(just another idea if someone is interested)

Yikes! Adding the spin would be a killer! How cool is that.

Sounds like a good strong workout plan.

As many as you want. Some people try to see how many they can do in 2:00 minutes. Some will do intervals of 20 seconds followed by 10 seconds of rest of 2 minutes. You can mix it up, depending on what your focus is.

We usally see how many you can do and 2 min.
We did a drill a while back with a round timer 2 min. and see how many you can do with a 30 second rest and then another 2 min. and see how many you can do. we also do how many you can do in 5 min. the goal is 50. But you do it how ever you want. I'll do 10 to 20 at home while practicing katas (doing in between the katas) at home that makes the legs really tired after a few.
