Navy SEAL Burpee
A burpee with three push-ups: after the first, drive one knee to the elbow and push up, then the other knee and push up again; then feet in and leap.
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.
- Push-up one; at the top drive the right knee to the right elbow, then push-up two.
- Left knee to the left elbow, then push-up three.
- Jump the feet in and leap up.
Common mistakes
Knee drives turning into hip twists: the hips stay square to the floor. Half push-ups on the second and third: chest to the floor on all three. Losing count: say the three out loud.
Breathing
Exhale on every push-up and on the jump.
