Burpees
Execution
- Start in a standing position. Feet hip-width apart, shoulders relaxed.
- Squat down and put your hands on the ground.
- Jump back into a plank position. Make sure your body is in a straight line. Press away from the ground.
- Perform a push-up (see ‘Push-ups’)
- From the plank position jump back to the front into a squat position.
- From the squat jump up and clap your hands.
- Land with your knees a bit bent.
- Repeat the movement by moving into the squat and putting your hands on the floor.
Points of attention
- Keep your core engaged.
- When you get tired focus on the correct form of the movement rather than moving to fast.
- Chest up, abs turned on and spine in a straight line in the plank position.
Variations
PROGRESSION
Increase the tempo.
REGRESSION
- Light burpee: just jump into a plank and jump back. Make the burpee a bit easier by skipping the push-up.
- Half burpee: instead of starting in a standing position start in a plank. Jump to the front and back, keeping your hands on the floor.Instead of doing a push-up slowly lower to the ground and press back up.
