Most beginners new to this type of training, or exercising in general, will likely take a lot longer than 10 minutes to do all 100 reps. It took me around 14 minutes the first time I did it. But the 100 in 10 is a good target to shoot for. It's always nice to have a set target or goal to shoot for. You could work from 15 minutes to 12 to 11 to under 10 minutes over time. Another alternative is to just go with 10 minutes (density approach) and see how many reps you can do in that time. There are no determined sets of any reps. You could break it down into sets of 5 and rest 15 seconds in between so you're moving at a fast rate, with the goal of cranking out as many reps as you can. In this way, you'll have no reason to slack off during that 10 minute session. I find that most people could easily beat that 100 in 10 target using this method. And it's always a plus if you don't have more than 15 minutes to train. You’re right Joe.

When I started with burpees I did 10, rested a minute, did 10 more and so on for 12 sets. This will kick anyone's ass who isnt in some sort of shape. 100 in 10 minutes is probably too intense for beginners.
