Burpee

How to perform

To perform a Burpee, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Start by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart and your arms at your sides.
2. Lower your body into a squat position by bending your knees and lowering your hips back as if you are sitting in a chair.
3. Place your hands on the floor in front of you, just outside of your feet.
4. Jump your feet back so that you are in a plank position, with your body in a straight line from your head to your heels.
5. Perform a push-up by bending your elbows and lowering your chest towards the ground.
6. Push yourself back up to the plank position.
7. Jump your feet back towards your hands so that you are back in the squat position.
8. Explosively jump up into the air, reaching your arms overhead.
9. Land softly with your knees slightly bent and immediately lower back into the squat position to start the next rep.

Repeat these steps for the desired number of repetitions or for a set amount of time. Make sure to engage your core throughout the exercise and focus on maintaining proper form to avoid injury. Modify the exercise by skipping the push-up or the jump if needed, and gradually increase the intensity as you become more comfortable with the movement.

Equipment required

Body Weight
Body weight equipment includes items like resistance bands, stability balls, and suspension trainers. These tools are used for a wide range of exercises that focus on strength training, flexibility, balance, and stability. They are commonly used in bodyweight exercises that utilize the resistance of one's own body to build muscle and improve overall fitness.
