So today’s workout is called Burpees, besides it having a funny name, it is actually a great exercise to add to your workout routine.

Make sure you have some space, and that everything is clear around you.  How to perform a burpee:  With your feet together squat down into a crouch position so you are balancing on the balls of your feet.  Put your hands on the floor shoulder width apart and in front of your feet.  Move your weight to your hands and jump back to a push-up position.  Then pop your feet back into the crouching position, stand up and repeat.  If you want, you can add a jump with you arms straight up in the air instead of just standing up.

If you are a beginner, just try to do 8-10 reps with out stopping.  Once you start getting the hang of it and start to get in better shape, add more reps. Burpees are a great body resistant workout that will get your heart pumping.  Make sure that you keep good form to maximize the workout and prevent injury.  If you start getting sloppy, then you know it is time to stop.
