Dumbbell Burpee
Hands on the dumbbells: kick back, chest to the floor, feet in and stand up with the bells like a deadlift; no leap.
How to do it
Setup
Two dumbbells on the floor shoulder-width, hex bells if you have them.
Steps
- Grip the dumbbells and kick the feet back to a plank on them.
- Lower the chest to the floor between the bells and push up.
- Jump the feet in, hips low.
- Stand up with the dumbbells like a deadlift; no leap.
Common mistakes
Round bells rolling: hex dumbbells or a lighter, steadier pair. Standing up with a rounded back: hips low, chest up before you rise. Jumping with the bells in hand: this variation ends standing.
Breathing
Exhale on the push-up and on the stand.
