The Mike Rowe/Dirty Jobs “Prison Workout” (Burpees)

Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs takes a reader’s question about staying in shape on the road.

Here’s me doing 105 of them (video sped up):

Most people will get you started doing Descending Reps starting with 10 Reps. Do 10 Burpees, recover, do 9, recover, do 8, recover, and so 0n. Recovery should be about 60 seconds.

A VERY tough variation of this is to do 20 Burpees in descending sets.

  • Start with a set of 20 Burpees
  • Rest/recover for a short bit (like a minute or two)
  • Do 19 Burpees
  • Rest/recover
  • Do 18 Burpees

…and so on. You will be destroyed by this workout (in a good way!).
