How to do a burpee
There are many variations according to your needs and fitness level. However, this is the standard way:
Benefits of doing burpees
You will work different muscle groups
Doing burpees strengthens almost every major muscle group in your body, even parts we don’t even think about, like the hands. Burpees primarily work the shoulders, arms, abdomen, glutes, quads, and hamstrings.
You will raise your heart rate
Burpees are a perfect combination of cardio and strength. If you do them well and often, they will be a high intensity exercise that will not only get your muscles in good condition, but will activate your heart, lungs and definitely make you sweat.
You will know your body better
Seeing how you react to burpees helps you spot your areas for improvement. If your muscles ache after a few burpees, your challenge is strength. If you’re rather out of breath, your challenge is cardio. If both fail you, how good that you came to this exercise, it will help you in everything. In a matter of weeks you will begin to notice differences.
You will burn fat
In one minute you can burn more than fifteen calories, which in turn will help you lose fat. Remember that burpees are difficult and make the body work very hard, which requires a lot of calories for energy.
You will work your core
By core understand abdominal, lumbar, pelvic, gluteal, and deep spinal muscles. These muscles are the ones that give stability to the body and reduce the risk of injury. Burpees require you to keep these muscles active from start to finish, so they are a great exercise.
Your posture and balance will improve
Burpees work many muscles, making them ideal for improving mobility, balance, and coordination.
You will stop having excuses for not exercising
You do not need equipment or much space to do burpees, so if you are one of those who are looking for excuses to skip the exercise, with this you will have no escape.
