The burpee is a full body, body weight exercise that combines cardio and strength training. It is easily modified, so any fitness level can participate, and yet it’s something that you can build on and become better at. The White & Case team chose this challenge as this shows that we can all improve ourselves without any fancy equipment or personal training. We are committed to 31,000 burpees completed from July 1 to July 31.

Motivation is all that’s required to start, but the true challenge is the consistency and determination required to complete – and this is an important takeaway for the youth and children of InspiringHK. We are all capable of improving ourselves and striving to be better in fitness and in life, even when we feel like we are just moving in the same spot – much like the burpee. The mental challenge is the hardest part, but in the end it’s only in your mind. Push your body to its limits, turn fitness and sport into a life changing habit, and see that you can accomplish more than you think!

UNITED, the White & Case Hong Kong office is working together on meeting this goal and complete this challenge as a team.
