Burpees

Burpee Instructions

• Feet positioned in an athletic stance at shoulder-width. Your knees are slightly bent and toes pointed straight ahead.
• The core is braced and engaged. Shoulders are pinned back with your eyes fixated straight ahead.
• In a rhythmic, athletic motion, hinge at the hips, bend at the knees, and place your hands on the floor in a push-up position.
• Kick your feet back into a push-up position then lower your chest to the floor.
• Don't let your hips sag to the ground.
• In an explosive movement, extend your hips and triceps then bring your feet underneath you.
• Your landing position is the bottom of the squat.
• Jump up raising your arms overhead.  

*Tips*

• Don't aimlessly 'flop' on the floor. 
• This is controlled, athletic movement. 
• Have a mindset of perfecting your technique, not moving as fast as possible for reps.
