The best burpee demonstration I’ve ever seen, thanks as I’ve been doing the incorrectly.
Another key component to Burpees is the emphasis on proper “BREATHING” can’t be stressed enough. This is an explosive exercise. Breathe in cadence with each movement.

Isn’t it!? Good soup!
Great video. I love the fact that you demonstrate the burpee without the need to do a jump. It’s okay to not jump – jumping adds stress to the joints – and for people like myself with rheumatic issues, it heightens the risk of injury. I can do these without the jumps and it works great.
Thank you for breaking this exercise down so well. It made me realize that I need to take it slowly. 😊❤️🙏🏼
Training for my first Spartan (Super), after virtually being on the couch. This is a game changer, as I’ve begun with 30 burpees a day. On Day 12 now, and very grateful to have found this video. Avoiding injury is everything! Yours is the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you!
Thank you for saving our backs, shoulders and knees.
@Juelz Santana’s Bandana meh
Yes cause it takes 4.5 minutes to show people how to do them lmao
Not all heroes wear capes. They wear gym clothes

Thank you for sharing this information! Love the outdoors and how you show the proper movement from front and side views. My back and knees thank you.
Well done 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
Thank you. Very educational. I do the eight count push up with the jump and so far so all well. Thanks again
Absolutely amazing! I have wanted to incorporate this exercise in my workout routine for so long! But I heard of so many injuries people incurred! Thank you for this flawless demonstration. Now I feel confident to try them! Awesome job!
Excellent, good going! Keeping the arms close instead of having elbows pointed outwards is a challenge for beginners, which is why it’s a good idea to practice slowly when doing burpees for the first time. Thanks, very helpful!
I’m adding these to my Corona Social Distancing workout to stay healthy during tough times, thanks!

@David Moore doubt
Great!
Been watching videos for over 1 year, trying to stir myself to do burpees. I hate being on the floor. Yours is the first one that made me feel comfortable. I’m ready to do it now!
Thanks for the great explanation. We do this exercise alot during cardio sessions in the gym, and I was having some troubles with my back.
Now I know how to perfom a burpee in a correct way :).
Thank you so much for this man!! I’m starting a small workout regime and it involves 20 seconds of burpees and I had no idea what they were but this makes them seems a lot less intimidating and fun
This is exactly how I do my burpees!! Thank you for letting me know that I’m doing them safely and correctly!
Best explanation I’ve seen… you explain & show the “WHY” of the exercise. Thanks! 😊
I was trying for 7 years to do a burpee with a pushup as a go to the ground, this video just saved me a lot of pain.
Thank you for this! I’m doing 25 burpees a day in Oct for the American Cancer Society and this just saved my back & shoulders 💪🏽
Thank you. I’ve been trying to figure out how I got lower back pain then you mentioned lower back pain as one of the common injuries. I thought I was doing burpees right but I know I definitely bend over to do the first one as opposed to getting into a squatting position. Thank you for explaining the 3 common injuries and breaking it down to avoid each injury. I also have some shoulder pain so it must be because im too wide as you demonstrated too wide puts too much stress on the shoulders. However, your way seems much more challenging and looks more like a tricep push up? Is it? It really helped that you did a front and side view demo. Your very thorough and easy to understand and now i will be much more careful.
Very informative with very clear instructions, as someone with back issues at a relatively young age I appreciate videos where they show you what to avoid. Keep up the good work.
