Burpees are my favorite exercise. They cover just about everything, stability, flexibility, mobility, strength, cardio and of course function! There is no better test of physical health than a burpee in my humble opinion. Instead of going through the technique, I am going to provide a video progression of burpees so that you can build your burpee from the ground up. And always remember, your body is a gift, so keep on giving it the love and exercise it needs and it will give back to you 10 fold! To your health, Coach Michelle
Stage 1: Nail your air time and landing:
Stage 2: Walk to Plank:
Stage 3: Cardio Burpee:
Stage 4: Cardio Burpee to Kneeling Push Up
Stage 5: Gumsaba Standard Burpee
NOTE: There are many ways to do burpees. What I have given you here is the Gumsaba progression. This does not mean that other ways are wrong. There is an added focus in the Gumsaba Standard burpee to stabilize the low back and shoulder girdle in order to prevent injury.
