Burpee
Squat down, kick back to a plank, push-up, jump the feet in and leap up.
How to do it
Setup
Stand tall, feet shoulder-width.
Steps
- Drop the hands to the floor and jump the feet back to a plank.
- Do a push-up chest to the floor.
- Jump the feet to the hands and leap up with arms overhead.
Common mistakes
Sagging plank at the bottom: brace before the push-up. Skipping the hip extension at the jump: full stand-tall in the air. Racing sloppy reps: rhythm over speed.
Breathing
Exhale on the push-up and the jump; find a rhythm you can hold.
