The Burpee ( we love burpees)

To perform a Burpee:

Begin in a squat position with hands on the floor in front of you.

Kick your feet back to a pushup position*.

Immediately return your feet to the squat position.

Leap up as high as possible from the squat position.

Repeat, moving as fast as possible. You should maintain a fast pace for this exercise. Strive for maximum height with each jump. Most athletes will average between 12 and 15 repetitions per 30 seconds.

* Notice how I highlighted Step 2. You can increase the intensity of the Burpee by altering this step. Instead of keeping your arms straight as you kick your feet back. You will drop your chest to the ground just like lowering yourself to the bottom position of  push-up and then continue by returning your feet to the squat position, and conclude with an explosive jump into the air.
