Burpees aren't fun - we know this. But they work the entire body,and that's one of the reasons CrossFit coach and competitor Dani Horan of Champlain Valley CrossFit is suggesting this simple yet grueling workout. The Workout: total 100 burpees as quickly as you can.
Here's how to do a basic burpee:From standing, lower into a crouching squat with your hands on the floor.
Do a squat thrust by jumping your feet back, or simultaneously bending the elbows behind you,touching your chest to the floor.
As you jump the feet forward to the hands, straighten the arms and reach back to into a squat.
Do an explosive jump straight up, or getting as much height as you can.
Yep,that's it. One hundred burpees all at once. You'll get a total-body workout in about 10 minutes, and it's an awesome way to get your heart rate up. But what makes this workout the definition of CrossFit is that it's mostly mental. Yeah, and your arms and legs might get tired from burpee after burpee (after burpee!),but mostly it's your intellect that will keep saying it wants to stop. Related:
