A Bodyweight Exercise For Explosive Power and Hard-Core Fitness
When you think about bodyweight exercises you probably think pushups, situps, bodyweight squats, pullups, dips, etc. There are so many bodyweight exercises that you probably never heard of, Thrusting Pushups, Grasshoppers, Frog Pushup etc.
There is one exercise that is a sick and result producing, yet most won't do it, it's painful, it makes your lungs burn, makes your legs scream, the intensity is incredible, the exercise is the Burpee.
A few seconds into this exercise will show you the benefits, this is not a exercise for the weak, it's for the hard trainer, the person that won't give up, and your fitness level will soar beyond what you have ever thought.
The Burpee should be used as part as a fitness program for the person that wants a high level of fitness, they are very demanding you will either love them or hate them and most hate them, they hurt, they make you breath hard, your lungs hurt and your legs will burn.
You can get a great workout in as little as 2 to 3 minutes, and this is great for a busy lifestyle. If you can workout for only 2 to 3 minutes and get great benefits wouldn't it be worth it.
If you believe what you read, you can't get a workout in 2 or 3 minutes. This is where the fitness experts and doctors maybe wrong. You don't need 30 minutes of exercise to get into great shape, you don't even need half of that.
The Burpee is a great way to push yourself to the next level. The Burpee is a total body workout, you will burn more fat, build better endurance, and a greater level of physical fitness.
You can do the Burpee anywhere, indoors, outdoors, in a bedroom, a hotel room where- ever you are, the Burpee will get the job done.
To do the Burpee:
1. Start in a standing position 2. squat down and put your hands on the floor.
3. kick both legs back at the same time ( you are now in a pushup position ).
4. bring both legs back under you, towards your hands, and jump up in the air.
This is 1 fast movement and should be repeated for as many as possible.
For a quick workout try this:
Do 10 Burpees, rest 10 seconds, Do 9 Burpees, rest 9 seconds, Do 8 Burpees rest 8 seconds, continue until you get to 1 Burpee, when you get to 1 Burpee work back up to 10 Burpees.
