If you want one exercise that works your whole body, this might be the one for you. Don't have much time for exercise, this is for you! Burpees, when done right, can burn more calories in just a few minutes than many other exercises. When you add the push up to the burpee you have an exercise that works the arms, chest, quads, glutes, hamstrings, and core muscles.
In addition when you have conditioned with burpees it helps with everyday activities like carrying groceries, a toddler, or lifting that suitcase overhead to shove into the overhead bin on an airplane. Burpees will also boost your endurance and conditioning for other sports and activities. What's not to like?
If you go on Utube you can find many examples of how to do a burpee correctly, with or without the pushup. So what are you waiting on? Burpee on!
I love burpee's!
