Burpee Instructions

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms by your sides.
  2. Squat down and place your hands on the floor in front of you, just outside your feet.
  3. Jump your feet back, landing softly in a plank position.
  4. Immediately jump your feet forward, returning to the squat position.
  5. Jump up explosively, reaching your arms overhead.

Burpee Tips

  1. Start with proper form: Begin in a standing position, then squat down and place your hands on the floor in front of you.
  2. Engage your abs: Before kicking your feet back, tighten your core muscles to protect your lower back and improve stability.
  3. Jump back with control: As you kick your feet back, focus on landing softly and maintaining a straight line from head to toe.
  4. Lower with control: When lowering your chest to the ground, keep your elbows close to your body and engage your quads to control the descent.
  5. Push up with power: Use your chest, triceps, and quads to explosively push yourself back up to the starting position.
  6. Jump with energy: As you return to the squat position, explode upwards into a jump, engaging your quads and core for maximum power.
  7. Breathe and repeat: Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, inhaling during the squat and exhaling during the jump, maintaining a steady rhythm.
