IHK x W&C Burpees for Charity Challenge

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.

In view of the severe Omicron outbreak, students from kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools in Hong Kong will take an early summer break from April instead of July. The volatile pandemic situation led to a prolonged closure of LCSD leisure facilities, including sports centres, sports grounds, and grass pitches. COVID-19 home confinement has resulted in a critical decrease in all levels of physical activities, posing long-term threat to the physical and mental health among our next generation. IHKSports thus invited top executives in society to be the role models of our youths in order to demonstrate leadership and to provide inspiration and motivation for our young people in Hong Kong, as well as to support the cause of IHKSports to empower better youths, through sports.
