How to pace a burpee workout
A rep target like 100 burpees in 20 minutes is simple on paper, but holding an even pace is where most sessions fall apart. You start too fast, fade in the middle, and scramble at the end. The fix is to break the target into a steady per-minute plan and hold it.
This calculator splits your target evenly across the clock, so you know exactly how many reps you should have done by each minute. Aim to stay on pace, not ahead of it. To hold that pace without watching the clock, use a burpee timer that calls each round for you.
Burpee pace FAQ
- How many burpees per minute do I need for 100 in 20 minutes?
- 5 burpees a minute, or one every 12 seconds. Hit 5 each minute and you finish exactly on time.
- How do I calculate my burpee pace?
- Divide your rep target by your minutes to get reps per minute. For seconds per rep, divide your total seconds by your reps. 150 burpees in 15 minutes is 10 a minute, or one every 6 seconds.

- Can I share or save a target?
- Yes. The page address updates as you type, so you can bookmark it or send it to a training partner and it opens on the same target.
- Is this a burpee calorie calculator?
- No. It calculates pace, meaning how many burpees to do each minute to hit a rep target in a set time. It doesn't calculate calories burned.
