How To Perform Burpees Properly For Best Results

The number one exercise you need to be incorporating into your training are burpees. Here are 3 main reasons why you should incorporating this exercise into your workouts:

1. Is A Full Body Movement

Burpees use all your muscles, all over your body and they’re really good calorie burning exercises.

2. It’s Explosive

The movements require a lot of energy in a short period of time and you can burn up to 750 calories per hour.

3. It Increases The Release Of Growth Hormones

Because burpees make us do a lot of work in a small period of time, our bodies release growth hormones, which is awesome for building lean muscles while burning fat.

Beginner: Skip Jumps And Push-ups

If you are a beginner place both hands on the ground, step both feet out one by one, step both feet in one by one, and then stand up. Start with 4 rounds of 10 with a 30 seconds break in between.

Intermediate: Skip Push-ups

For an intermediate burpee you need to place both hands on the ground, jump both feet out, jump both feet in and then come up for a squat jump. If you’re feeling like you want to pump it up a little bit more and go a little more advanced than a beginner, then start with 5 rounds of 20 reps with a 30 seconds break in between.

Advanced Burpees

For an advanced burpee place both hands on the ground, jump both feet out, go down for a push up, jump both feet in and then explode up for the squat jump. If you already know your limits you can do 5 set of as many reps as you can with a 30 seconds break in between.

Make sure you’re really locking in your core and focusing on a correct technique because you will get tired with these and burpees do “hurt”.
