Burpee Workout Notes: Count Aloud

These are workout notes - they start from this post

When working out, the workout gets so tough that am running out of breath.

This is especially true of the burpee workout I do. It doesn’t help that most of the time, I ask myself:

What’s next?

The answer is always:

10 Burpees, just like last time.

AUGH.

One thing I noticed after doing the burpee workout every day for a month:

I miscount my burpees, especially 5-8 range.

The first three are fine, and the last three are fine. I notice I miss numbers in the 5-8 range. Did I count six?? Am I at 7 now?? What number should be next??

So, to overcome this “number skipping”, I count aloud. There’s no other way, because I would either skip number or think I skipped a number and do more or fewer burpees than expected.

Conclusion: count aloud when doing a tough workout. Counting aloud might seem silly and it’s only to 10 - but counting will maintain your momentum and help you finish strong.
