Macsta,
I am another who will be turning the big 6-0 this year and glad to be alive! Unlike you, I have never developed a love of burpees, although I don't see myself slowing down, either. We are what 60 looks like today. My parents were very youthful and active into their seventies. I was to be like Ernestine Shephard and Emmalina Edwards, both started serious lifting late in life. Now, they are both in their seventies, and are in the best shape of their lives. Let's just keep on going. |

I'm with Gina, I've never liked burpees and don't like them now so I don't do them. However, I still enjoy fairly high intensity workouts and don't think I have to quit or slow down because of my age which is just a number. As long as you feel good doing your burpees and high intensity workouts - go for it! Your body will tell you when to slow down and it's not necessarily connected to the number on your birth certificate.

Another one here who hates burpees and REFUSES to do them anymore!
But I'm 57 now and still work out just as tough as I used to (okay, maybe not on a daily basis....but I still love to throw Cathe's into my mix just to make sure I can still do them!) I love hearing about other people my age still pushing their limits! Terri

This. I'm 67 and still workout everyday but I'm definitely not doing harder workouts like I did in my younger days. I still do Cathe, just not as often.

Too funny. I thought you were going to share a new burpee style. I, though, am 56 and LOVE burpees. Crazy, but true. I don't do too many in a row, maybe 20, but they are a nice addition to whichever cardio I happen to be doing at the time.
