A burpee is pure evil.

Variations include anything from a push up in the middle, a jump at the top, to the positively vicious 'man maker' -

mountian climbers are good too, you can also look into yoga or pilates type stuff it is better to take classes for these though if you can so someone can point out if you do poses wrong so you dont hurt yourself0

An evil move that attempts to kill you and make you fit at the same time0

I actually enjoy burpees and have even developped my own twist on them (that I call the Krashers - Krash is one of my nicknames lol). It's basically burpees with dumbbells. You do knee strikes once down (or mountain climbers), then renegade rows + push-ups (1 on each side) and instead of a jump, you snatch the dumbbells when you stand back up.
Have fun trying it out
(Just, you know, master the more basic versions first. Don't hurt yourself) 0 -
Seriously, are these effective? Because I like things that doesn't require equipment, even if they suck.0

I was starting to think I was crazy. This is what I have always known them as!0 -
They are pure evil designed by plastic people who have super human hand/eye/foot coordination that real people don't have! :happy:
Having said that they actually a lot worse to watch than they are to try...:huh:0 -

I haven't done squat thrusts since I was in school, but I'm pretty sure we didn't stand at the end of each rep. It was just push up position, knees to elbows, and then back to push up position.0
