Does anyone know what that exercise is called that the football players do? its where they drop down into pushup position, then stand, drop! Heard it was a good workout and seen it on the biggest looser plenty!

I know they do burpees - which I think it what you're describing - those are big in our Crossfit class, and TOUGH!

cool to know! our gym instructor has us doing those fairly often. i suck at them. i never knew they had a particular name or were used in sports training, so now, even though i still suck at them, i'm proud i'm working on something that football players do!0

Thanks anyone and burpees do suck but lt is a good workout!
does anyone know how many calories you burn while doing burpess the proper way!0 -
Your right about that! I am trying to do them on a more regular basis0

My guess based on similar exercises (like jump rope) would be 10 calories per minute on average.0

Glad I looked at this because I thought burpees and squat thrusts were the same thing.....big difference!!! This website shows both.0
