Burpees. No, not the pretty flowers…  watch this video to see what we’re talking about.

We know you’ve heard of  burpees, but if for some reason you haven’t, you are in for a real treat. Burpees are arguably one of the worst (best) functional bodyweight movements you can do.

Everyone is scared of this exercise. And we know in the back of your mind, you’re probably thinking – there is no way I’m scheduling, they are going to make me do burpees. Well, we would never make you do burpees the first time you walk in the gym… well, maybe we would… anyway, moving on! The more important fact is that a being scared of a burpee is ridiculous.

Here is a one-minute challenge for you.

In one minute, complete as many burpees as possible. When you finish, send us a note on how many you completed!

So, what is a burpee? They are simple:

1.Start by standing big and tall
2.Lay down on your stomach
3.Return to standing big and tall
4.Put your hands over your head and at the same time, jump, clap, and celebrate because you just completed a burpee!

Now that burpees are out of the way, we look forward to seeing you in the gym. A great score for your one-minute burpee challenge is between 1 and 1,000.

Let us know how you did and we will see you soon.
