Before I get to this fun workout, I want to tell you when it’s the PERFECT time to do a workout like this is…
No, it’s not ‘when H*LL freezes over’ =====> 
It’s great to do a metabolically challenging workout BEFORE a treat meal. A workout like this will BOOST your metabolism so when your intake is a little higher than ‘normal’, your body will burn it up more effectively.
SIDE NOTE: Did I mention that it’s a GOOD thing to have a treat meal at least ONCE a week? {insert happy dance here 😉 }
When on a calorie restricted plan, an increase in calories from a ‘treat meal’ will boost the all important hormone LEPTIN which helps your body burn fat versus store it. Leptin levels can drop up to 50% after only 7 days of calorie restriction, so along with the mental break a treat meal provides, it actually works hormonally to help you drop fat…
So, you can go ahead and enjoy a treat meal GUILT FREE about every seven days.
Now, if you want to feel like you’re having a treat meal every day, but stay within your nutrition plan, you need to check out Flavia Delmonte’s Flavilious cook book.
And here’s a bonus: Flavia has offered a limited number of hard copies for purchase – FOR A FRACTION OF THE COST. Obviously this is a NO brainer and will be a welcome addition to you cookbook library. Lovely photos and scrumptious recipes – count me in ==> CLICK HERE
Flavia has +150 fully illustrated recipes that even I can make. Flavilicious Cooking is the FIRST and ONLY “No Calorie Counting” cookbook, and a fabulous collection of fat burning recipes that were designed after working with one of North Americas top professional chefs.
The recipes are 100% allergy-friendly and will help you lose fat the more you eat them. Every single recipe is “non-cook” friendly, truly tasty, light on the wallet, and everything can be made in less than 30 minutes.
And best of all, the recipes are dedicated to appealing just as much to your taste buds as they are to your abs.
I asked Flavia, “What’s so special about the cookbook?” and her simple reply was, “It’s literally impossible to get fat eating these recipes because they balance your hormones”
Flavia explains how this is possible with her 3-Step Skinny Solution which you can read more about right here== > Flavilicious Cooking <<< No More Counting Calories
Okay, so enough with the recipe stuff, but I highly recommend you ‘treat yourself’ with this cookbook. Go HERE to check it out.
Here’s that workout….
Tell me, is there anything more challenging than burpees and pull ups? Well you could combine them 😉
This is a ‘fun’ way to get 100 burpees and 100 pull ups in a workout….
In set 1, you’ll start with basic ‘burpee/pull ups’. Then you’ll decrease the number of burpees and increase the number of pull ups. So you’ll do 8 reps of 1 burpee + 2 pull ups, then you’ll do 6 reps of 1 burpee + 3 pull ups and so on.
In set 2, you get to do less pull ups, but more burpees (yay!) as you reverse the ladder. You’ll start with 10 reps of everyone’s favorite burpee/pull up. Then you’ll do 8 reps of 1 pull up + 2 burpees, then 6 reps of 1 pull up + 3 burpees and so on.
Feel free to do only one side of the ladder (either set one or two), trust me, that’s a great workout in itself! If you decide to do both sets, this is what it looks like:
*Rest as needed during this workout. Time this workout and beat your time next time you try (if you dare).
Now according to my maths – this adds up to 100 pull ups and 100 burpees, correct? (I dare you to post your time in the comment section!)
You can do jump pull ups or assisted pull ups with a band (although it will slow you down getting into the band for each rep). However you do your pull ups, make sure you make a note of it so you’ll compare ‘apples to apples’ next time you do the workout. You can do burpee walk outs, squat jumps or full body extensions instead of burpees when you get tired.
I just did this workout with the help of Sev. He seems to think it’s fun to chase my feet during the pull up and jump on my head during the burpee. I’d say that may have slowed me down a little 😉
I did NOT do a push up this time I tried the workout. I’d say I didn’t really bust my butt to finish and I easily finished in less than 20 minutes (8:55 for set one and 9:01 for set 2 to be exact).
And don’t forget to pick up Flavia’s cookbook HERE (and get the hard copy for a steal).
