How to do it

Setup

Stand tall, feet shoulder-width.

Steps

  1. Drop through the burpee: plank, push-up, feet in.
  2. Leap and throw the arms and legs wide into a star.
  3. Bring them back together before you land.
  4. Land with the feet together and drop into the next rep.

Common mistakes

Landing with the feet still wide: close them in the air. Arms only, legs forgotten: it is a star, four points. Sagging into the push-up after the jump: reset the plank every rep.

Breathing

Exhale on the push-up and the jump.
