    I’ve never heard of that before, it sounds exhausting. Probably very good for your conditioning and strength endurance though. How did you feel afterwards?

      I’m in okay shape, but I’ll admit the most amount of burpees I’ve done in a single session prior to doing this program was around 50. So yeah, I was sore the next day, but nothing I’m not familiar with.

      The Military Style definitely taxes the cardiovascular system, while the Navy Seals push the pressing muscles to failure. Eating a diet that fights inflammation helps with muscle soreness (fatty fish/fish oil, dark leafy greens).

      The Busy Dad Program has levels of reps so you have something to aim for, so I guess the next hurdle is reaching 150/60 military/navy, but I’m honestly just happy with how quick and dead simple this routine is.

      I will say adding regular pullups to the routine is a must though. You can’t do that many pushing exercises day after day without incurring some kind of shoulder injury. Pulling exercises supposedly protect against this, and I believe it.

      Anyways, I’ll be sticking with this for at least 6 months before considering moving onto something else.
