Burpees

The Starting Position

Start standing up – feet shoulder width apart, hands by your sides.

The Motions

Squat down, putting your hands on the floor by the outside of your feet. With a single motion jump back with your feet until you're in the Push-up starting position. Lower yourself into a Push-up.

Push back up and with a single motion jump bringing in your knees to your chest into a squat position. Now stand up and jump with your hands over head.

The whole move needs to be performed in one fluid motion.

The Versions

If this version proves a little too advanced for you, start with the move but leave out the push-up.

And to make it even less intense, also ignore the jump at the end of the move.

Full Burpees – to make the Burpees more intense add a jump with your hands straight above your head (Star Burst style) at the end of the normal motion.
