burpees

I just had to do 5 sets of 20 of these plus 20 KB swings and I realized that I do them ALL wrong. The key is to NOT do a pushup at all. The down should be a fall, as described above with a minor catch in your arms so you don't slam into the floor and the up should be more like a snake push-up (the Cobra was a very good description). Also the feet wider so you are jumping from a squatting position is dead on.
Worked on correcting that in set 3,4,&5 and it went much better.0 -
The jumping wide was good advice for me. Today I did a total of 68 burpees. And I didn't cry. Progress.0

This. Burpees got so much easier when I started jumping wider! Also, don't waste your energy on getting down on the ground gracefully. Flop if necessary HA!0

I'll have to try jumping wide next time. I'm still incredibly slow with them...0
-
basically, keep your feet wider!

A guy at my box recently did 1180 burpees in one day to raise money for a charity (one burpee per $1). I feel that I can never complain about burpees ever again.0

Who gave the money? The guy did the burpees?0 -

So the floppy snake burpee is correct? Cuz that's how I do them, and I thought it was sloppy form. I'm kinda new to this stuff, so I was imagining that I needed to work on it... I guess I don't?0

Using an overhead target (like the games standard) has really improved my burpees. I also place tape on the floor as target under my overhead target. I guess i focus on the targets and the not pain. I Burpees.
the 100 day burpee challenge will also help.
