Burpee
How to do it
- Stand upright, then squat down and place your hands on the floor in front of you.
- Jump your feet back into a push-up position, with your body in a straight line.
- Do a push-up (optional), then jump your feet back toward your hands.
- From the squat, jump up, with your arms extended overhead.
Key to the execution: Keep your body in a straight line during the push-up phase, whatever the pace.
Common mistakes
- You let your hips drop in the push-up position, straining your lower back.
- You land uncontrolled on your feet, straining your knees.
