Why do they hurt my feet? Is it ok to do them slow, the pushing motion has really hurt my toes. So, I'm trying them, but slowly, so I won't jar my feet. Maybe I should just stop doing them.

Nothing against burpees to mix in but I have never had my clients do them a lot. I recommend doing strength work where you are on your feet 100% of the time. If they hurt, stop doing them.

Burpees was a seed company when I was a kid. Quit planting seeds with your toes and your feet won't hurt so much?

Still is a seed company... I see their seeds at Home Depot. But I buy my seeds from good ol' Territorial in Cottage Grove OR (not that anyone cares).
