First, let’s get started by discussing the specifics of a Burpee. Burpees will condition your entire body. This exercise will develop strength, explosive power, and anaerobic endurance. THEY DO NOT SUCK - ask any trainer who knows his beans.

To perform a Burpee, you will begin in a squat position with hands on the floor in front of you (1). Kick your feet back to a pushup position *(2). Immediately return your feet to the squat position (3). Leap up as high as possible from the squat position (4). 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.

Notice how I highlighted Step 2. You can increase the intensity of the Burpee by altering this step. If you prefer the easy way out, you will maintain straight arms as you kick your feet back. You will end in the upright position of a pushup (arms fully extended). You would then continue by returning your feet to the squat position, and conclude with an explosive jump into the air. If you really want to crank up the intensity, you will…

Add A Pushup To The Burpee

This “variation” is the ONLY way that I perform Burpees.

To perform a Burpee with a pushup, you will begin in a squat position with hands on the floor in front of you (1). Kick your feet back, while simultaneously lowering yourself into the bottom portion of a pushup. Your arms will not be extended. (2). Immediately return your feet to the squat position, while simultaneously pushing “up” with your arms. You will perform a pushup as you return your feet to the squat position (3). Leap up as high as possible from the squat position (4). Repeat, moving as fast as possible

Jane Fonda called, she wants her workout back.

A few minutes of Burpee conditioning will quickly convince you that your own natural bodyweight provides plenty of resistance for an ass-kicking workout that blasts your stamina and fat loss through the roof!!

This exercise will develop strength, explosive power, and anaerobic endurance.

Burpee was something my mommy did to me when I was 6 months old.

squat thrusts adn squat thrust pushups are great exercises. But they wont do much for you in the way of increasing muscle mass. You will quickly accomodate to using your BW and would need some resistance. They are great for endurance work though. I make clients do them sometimes.

this guy is getting on my nerves, perhaps the next johny??? am i the first one to think of this, sorry havnt looked at threads for a while....but he is really geting on my nerves, and im sure that im not the only one who thinks this is some form of "johnny".......what a smartass

when Ali did the "i am the greatest" thing everyone loved it. maybe it's just this guys way of being funny. i don't see what the harm is. n did any one else think he was talking about planting a garden? burpee seed catalog? nevermind.

that must be a joke - "bodyweight exercises are for retards" ie their useless

you really sound kinda full of your self m8, and a bit ignorant, i did burpees when i was a kid and yeah endurence their fine but for a body building workout for me they would burn of extra calories that i would rather put on, just stretch properly before a workout, thats all you need
