The most chest to ground burpees in 24 hours (male) is 9,119 and was achieved by Ben Rowlinson (UK), in Cowes, Isle of Wight, UK, on 24-25 April 2021.


During the Covid-19 lockdowns across the UK, Ben spent a lot of his time exercising at home as he could not visit gyms or mountains for training. He is a keen ultra-marathon runner and has completed several 24+ hour events, therefore decided to use his endurance background to take on a challenge away from running. Given he could not complete his regular running training, he chose this fitness challenge instead, and spent a number of months preparing for the attempt. In setting this record, he also achieved the record for most chest to ground burpees in 12 hours (male), with 5,669.

Ben used the record attempt to raise money for the charity Sea Shepherd UK, as marine conservation and protecting our oceans is a very important issue for him.
