Can You Beat 53 Burpees in 3 Minutes?

Why the Burpee Test Works

This test isn't just for punishment. It’s a globally recognized measure of high-intensity performance, testing your cardio, muscular endurance, and grit all in one shot.

You do as many burpees as you can in 3 minutes. That’s it.

It’s a powerful, time-efficient way to measure:

• Cardiovascular endurance

• Total-body strength

• Mental toughness

And it gives you a clear number you can improve.
