Burpees do not include a pushup. Pushups are a modification added to them to make them more difficult is all, just like adding a chinup, bands, etc. I did pushups, just not with my burpees. I'd rather do 100 burpees and 65 pushups separately than say, 30 of both at the same time. Just my preference is all. As of last week though I halted my calisthenics b/c I recently put myself on a 5x5 strength routine and changed my calisthenic days to recovery days.
