Memorial Day Workout for Daville at Hanover Wayside Park @ 7am.

After our Burpee ladder conversation picked up about who/how was the Burpee created. Thoughts were that it was from football up/downs. According to google here is your answer.

The burpee was invented by the exercise physiologist Royal Burpee in the late 1930s while he was getting his Ph.D. at Columbia University. Burpee created his multipart move as physical fitness test.

I guess the Burpee has been around for a while.

Keep up the good work for the Merkin Challenge. This mornings total was 265 Merkins.

Great job this morning guys. It was pleasure to lead.
