Medicine Ball Burpee

Hands on the ball: kick back to a plank, do a push-up on the ball, jump the feet in and stand, lifting the ball overhead.

Medicine Ball Burpee, illustrated

How to do it

Setup

Ball on the floor, hands on its sides.

Steps

  1. Kick back to a plank on the ball.
  2. Push-up with the hands on the ball.
  3. Jump the feet in and stand or jump with the ball.

Common mistakes

Ball rolling in the plank: grip its sides, brace wider. Sagging on the wobble: the unstable push-up needs MORE plank, not less. Racing form away: slower than a floor burpee, deliberately.

Breathing

Exhale on the push-up and the jump.
