  • Guys where does a novice start with the Burpees? Teach me the way.

  • It’s more difficult than the component parts done separately due to the requirement to get from a flat on the floor position to a jump.
    If you can’t do 50 pushups and 50 squat jumps in the same timeframe, clearly burpees will be very difficult.

    Try lying down on the ground and stand up, and repeat 50 times, it’s not easy.

    Keep your body tight, and keep your form good. Try not to let your body move inefficiently, Smoothly move into the next position.

    Try and give yourself at twice as much rest as burpee time to begin with.
    If a burpee takes you 3 seconds, at least 6 seconds rest.

    10 burpees, 60s rest.

    And then either increase reps or shrink recovery time, or both.

    If you can do 100 in a row, you are a monster, as it’s effectively continous burpees for 5 minutes.

    I’m going to work towards 8 minutes (sets of 15 x 6 + 10 with 30 seconds rest)
