Don't do burpees in a dusty room

[deadlyshaolin]

Just got back to New York after an extended vacation in California. What better way to welcome myself back home than doing the 100 burpee challenge again.

Thinking I could improve on my PR (7:49), I turned off the heater, opened a window, and banged out 100 burpees in my small 1 bedroom apartment that had been collecting dust for 3 weeks.

Two things happened:
1. I did not beat my PR. Mainly because...

2. My throat felt like COMPLETE DEVASTATION by burpee #60. I was coughing up a lung and finally, after I finished my hundred, I started salivating like a madman. Personally, when I salivate like this, it can only mean 1 thing -- that I'm about to puke.

And puke I did. Round after round of puking until my eyes were bloodshot and my face was splotchy from burst capillaries. But hey, my throat feels better, so at least I got that going for me.

Moral of the story: Always exercise in a well-ventilated, non-dusty place. Preferably outdoors.

You posted a story about trying tabata burpees after eating chocolate too, didn't you?

You, sir, are the Steve Irwin of the exercise world.

Thanks for the warning. I exercise in our garage in usually around 95 degree heat (very humid here in the South), so I know all about puking and overheating, lol.
