Just finished doing 10 of these and i’m spent!!!! Here they are courtesy of Defining Edge

To perform a Burpee:

1. Begin in a squat position with hands on the floor in front of you

2. Kick your feet back to a pushup position

3. Immediately return your feet to the squat position

4. Leap up as high as possible from the squat position. Repeat, moving as fast as possible.

You should maintain a fast pace for this exercise. Strive for maximum height with each jump. Most athletes will average between 12 and 15 repetitions per 30 seconds.

Man o man these are awesomely fun & hard at the same time.  Talk about a quick effective HIIT training when i’m pressed for time.  I think I just might start encorporating more of these into my daily life.  Will add one additional burpee every day until I reach 100.

For example… tomorrow I will at one point in the day do 11 burpees.  Once I it 100, I will start adding a push up after the plank position & then will start timing myself.

Here are some cool articles & videos:
