How to do the Burpee
- Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms at your sides.
- Lower your body into a squat position and place your hands on the floor in front of you.
- Jump your feet back to land in a plank position, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Perform a push-up, then jump your feet back towards your hands.
- Explode into a jump straight up, reaching your arms overhead. Land softly and immediately lower back into the squat position to begin the next repetition.
Form tips
- Start with a moderate pace to master the form, then gradually increase your speed as you become more comfortable with the movement.
- Ensure your movements are fluid and controlled to avoid unnecessary strain on your joints.
- Focus on landing softly during the jump to reduce impact on your knees and ankles.
