12 Days Of Fitness – Exercise #1 – BURPEE

Burpees are also called “squat thrusts”. Squat low in a “frog” position. Kick your feet out behind you so that you are in the top of a push-up position. Jump your feet back under you to the “frog” position. Now jump straight up with arms overhead.

Low-Impact Version– squat and put your hands on a step or other secure object, walk your feet out, and walk them back in close to your hands, then just stand up rather than jump.

Advanced Version– Rather than jumping straight up, you can jump side to side, or do a spinning jump 180 or 360 degrees. You could also add a push-up in the middle of the movement when you are in that position.
