Jack Burpee
A burpee that swaps the push-up for a plank jack: in the plank, jump the feet wide and back together before jumping them in to stand.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, feet hip-width, arms at the sides.
Steps
- Squat, plant the hands and jump the feet back to a plank.
- Jump the feet wide and back together, hips level.
- Jump the feet to the hands and leap up with the arms overhead.
Common mistakes
Hips bobbing up during the jack: keep the plank flat while the feet move. Landing the feet far from the hands: jump them in close to stand up easily. Stopping short of standing tall: finish every rep with the hips extended in the air.
Breathing
Exhale on every jump; keep the rhythm.
