Burpees The Perfect Workout

By:


Burpees, they sound like something a little kid would get after they drank their soda pop too fast. But, in reality, there is nothing juvenile about these... well except their ridiculous name.

I think a more appropriate name for this exercise would be hyper-intensive-entire-body-encompassing-ridiculous-workout. This title fits the exercise a whole lot better than burpees.

Burpees are used by most physical trainers to get their clients into a ridiculously fit shape, and they are also used to train professional football players. Not to mention almost every department of military uses them in training.

That goes to show how hardcore theses really are. They don't just build muscle and cardio strength but they also train your muscle to react, thus making them the most effective full body workout on planet earth.

They are an ingenious mix of cardio building, body weight training, and plyometric exercising. These fused into one workout has created the most effective functional-strength developing routine.

Though these will not really pack on that glamour muscle all those pretty boys want, they will however make you tuff as granite. These increase functional strength, the type of strength that you can actually use; not like weight lifting where it just isolates muscles so that you can see them really well, but can't really do too much with them beyond lifting or pushing weights.

Here is how you do them, start by standing up straight. Now bend down and place your hands on the ground, and then jump into a pushup position.

Push yourself up and back into a hands and feet position. Now jump as high as you can into the air.

It is made of four different workouts, the squat, the pushup, the frog hop, and the jump. The squat is the movement from standing, down to hands and feet.

The pushup part is between hands and feet close together, to pushup position. The frog hop is when you hop back into the hands and feet close together position.

And to finish it off you jump as high as you can into the air. This will work your thighs, calves, abdomen, pectorals, biceps, triceps, deltoids, and all those core muscles throughout your body as well.

This is a hardcore exercise. If you are not used to working out this one may take a little practice, and starting out you may not be able to do very many of them.

These are very much cardio exercises though, so you should do as many as you can. And remember to always put as much as possible into each movement.

When it comes to exercising, you only take as much out as you put in. Keep that in mind, along with, through the burn not to the burn.
