Welcome to the Ultimate Burpee Challenge! 😁
This challenge aims to help you grow, achieve, and push your limits. Many claim by the end of the challenge they see physical benefits (weight loss, inches lost, arms toned, abs, increased strength, increased stamina/endurance, faster running times, and more) as well as emotional benefits (euphoric high, emotional clarity, and the joy that comes with building healthy habits).
I’m Ryan Peck, the challenge creator. I started this challenge with the goal of helping others develop the habit of doing daily burpees so they can witness firsthand the benefits they have in their lives.
Burpees have helped improve my life in so many ways! (You can read more about my burpee story here .
How To Enter The Challenge!
Step 1: Follow “@rhpeck” on IG
Step 2: Click on the Ultimate Burpee Volume 3 post
Step 3: Comment where you are from, and how many daily burpees you choose**If you don’t have IG, you can also do it on Facebook @ryan.peck.9699.
Challenge Rules
The challenge is pretty simple. Daily burpees for 30 days straight!
You choose the daily amount of burpees based on your current fitness level.
There are 4 levels to choose from.
Beginner: 25 burpees/day
Intermediate: 50/day
Elite: 100/day
CRAZY: 150/day (this wasn’t an “official level in the first challenge but we had a couple of ‘crazy’ people do it!
Note: There is no time limit for how long it takes you to complete the burpees. You can do it straight through, or break it up into multiple sets (as long as you hit your daily total)
Accountability/Reporting
There are two ways to report your daily burpees.
- Tag Ryan on your IG story daily that you completed your burpees (videos/pics are HIGHLY encouraged!!) , or
- DM Ryan, you completed your daily burpees
If you officially entered the challenge, Ryan will do his best to hold you accountable (depending on how many people join the challenge). However, it’s ultimately up to you to stay disciplined and be self-accountable and track your progress and days.
Reward For Completing The UBC!
If you complete ALL 30 days of the challenge, then you are eligible to purchase an exclusive Ultime Burpee Challenge shirt!
Ryan will only send the link to purchase a shirt to those who completed the challenge. Your ability to purchase and rep the UBC shirt must be earned!
Helpful Tips!
Record and Share: I highly encourage you to record your daily burpees and share it on your IG story! You can also take a picture. By doing this daily, your followers will see your dedication and you will inspire others!
- Tag “rhpeck” in all your stories and use the hashtag: #Ultimateburpeechallenge
- Every week I will make a short highlight reel from the people who tagged me in their IG stories, and I will do a final reel at the end.Record your time: Many people recorded their time from day 1 to day 30, and say MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS! It is highly encouraged to do this. Many people also recorded their times every day. (feel free to DM me your time or share it in on your story).
Flat surface: After having completed over 200k burpees in the last few years, I can tell you doing burpees on a hard/flat surface makes it slightly easier than doing it on a soft surface. Try doing it on hardwood floors, tile, etc rather than carpet.
Be creative: Last challenge we had a few people who had fun and were very creative with their burpee videos! They did burpees in their pajamas, in their bathroom, at work, in their work clothes, on the beach, with their family, and coworkers, on the trampoline, etc. Have fun and let’s see who can get the most creative videos!
Pace Yourself: At first its pretty exciting doing your burpees and seeing everyone else do them too. However, after a week or two it may not be as exciting and something you don’t look forward to. The goal is to be consistent. Just know you are not alone!
Set Your Alarm: Pick a time daily and stick with it (if possible). Set a reminder alarm in your phone. If you can, do it first thing in the morning. Not only will it help you tackle the day and get your endorphins flowing, but you won’t have to worry about doing your burpees at night after a long day.
FAQ
This is up to you and just depends on your fitness level. I would recommend trying if you are able to, but if you are not there yet, then you don’t have to.
Yes! This is for all ages and fitness levels. If you need to do it modified, here is how you do it.
Squat down, slowly go onto your knees and put your hands down, do a pushup while still on your knees, slowly go back to the squat position, and stand up.
Then you can make it up! Example: Say your daily limit is 25/day and you are sick and you missed two days. Then the third day you would do 75 burpees (50 from the two days missed and 25 for that third day). If you have to miss more than 5 days, then maybe wait for the next challenge!
Benefits of Burpees
Burpees were invented in 1939 by Royal H. Burpee as being the ultimate fitness test.
The burpee is so effective for fitness, the U.S. military adopted the burpee in 1942 as part of their fitness test.
It’s known globally for being one of the most taxing full-body workouts. The average adult will burn 100 calories in just 10 minutes of burpees while simultaneously activating most major muscle groups. You will gain strength, speed, endurance, and muscle definition.

Final Words
