GULFPORT, MS – A group of Mississippians in Gulfport is hoping to break the record for the most number of people to do burpees in two minutes.
A burpee is an exercise where you start standing up and then jump into a push up position and then immediately jump back up to standing position.
Brantly Ellison is the man in charge of the event and is owner of B.E. Fit. He says the current record stands at 295 people.
Everyone is invited to the event and will take place this coming Saturday at the Island View Casino. Registration starts at 9 a.m., an attempt at the record will begin at 10 a.m.
