The Burpee is a simple gasser. It's an explosive, full body, bodyweight exercise that will tax your anaerobic cardio fuel system like few other movements. Traditionally used as punishment (like when I was a Marine Corps Officer Candidate), you will find these sparingly in Coach Stevo's metabolic circuit workouts. But that's no excuse not to learn them. Basic rule of thumb, if you can do it with a push up, do it. If you can't do a bodyweight push up, skip it.
Coach Stevo's Top Tip
- It's about speed. How fast can you sprawl, push, and pop?
