The exercise called the Burpee is the foundation of my fitness. The burpee is really a very simple exercise but it is a difficult exercise that many people do not like. You basically throw yourself on the ground on your chest and do a pushup and get back to your feet and jump off the ground. While it is a simple and effective exercise, not everyone is ready to just start doing full burpees. If you are not ready to throw yourself on the ground, don’t worry, there are ways that you can use progressions to get from not being able to complete a burpee to being comfortable with the full burpee. In this week’s episode, I break down a simple progression of steps that will bring you all the way to a full burpee. Check out these progressions and jump in where you are able. You can take this as fast or as slow as you want. If you are not ready to move on to the next step of this progression, continue the steps that you can complete until you feel strong and confident enough to continue. If you continue to work on the burpee you will eventually be ready to tackle the 100 day burpee challenge that we have done through this podcast. Be sure to send this to someone who might find it helpful.
