I've never spent time on them before but burpees seem like a excellent measure of fitness. I play as a goalie once a week so I'm hoping these will help there.

In the Crossfit world they call that Death by Burpees. You can use the same sequence for pullups, pushups, situps...basically any exercise. As far as hitting 19 I can barely hit 20 burpees in a minute completely fresh. I would think making it to the round of 19 is something reserved for people with elite conditioning. By the end of that round you would have done 190 burpees.
