Twenty up – burpees – Burpees are favored among convicts in the California penal system due to the fact that one can get a total body workout with a minimum of space. Start with a one rep set, then a two rep set, then three, then four, until you get to a twenty rep set for a total of 210 burpees. It’s easier to start with twenty and work your way down. Just keep the rests between sets to a minimum.
